Months of prayers and preparation for STEP and when it comes the day where it all began when these precious young Presbyterians first gathered on Monday morning at Prinsep St Presbyterian Church, my heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.
God has already shown me several miracles throughout the time when I felt it was impossible that I could get this speaker or that, or even when I thought the amazing home cooked caterer for the welcome lunch would not even entertain such a last minute request, I can only say that God has been extremely gracious and merciful. The first Christian group to ever play ‘Bollabola!’ in Singapore, I am thankful that it was a fun time of where everyone showed graciousness, humor and teamwork.
Ice was definitely broken on the first day where we no longer live up to the name of being ‘FROZEN’ Presbyterians, where we played ‘2 truths, 1 lie’. To find out that certain pastor was not an ex-gay but only an ex-convict brought many tears of relief and eased many confused faces.
A casual conversation over lunch on the second day left me speechless and in awe as I can only count myself extremely privileged to be amongst God’s chosen, precious children. Each of them has a unique story to tell and I am humbled by their youthfulness and passion. Hebrews 13:2 kept running in my mind and I kept asking myself, ‘Have I entertained angels unaware?’
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." (Eph. 2:10)
