A little update from Youth For Christ. =)

Hey all, it's Su Ann here. Since Jun has posted hers, I guess I shall post mine as well =) I bet some of you from CF know that Sue Yin and I are serving as volunteers in YFC for 3 months. Working there has been really challenging from the very first day but I thank God that Uncle Piang Hong (National director for MYFC) has been really helpful. The mission statement (like what we have in St. Mary) of MYFC is to mobilize young Christians to participate themselves in His kingdom's work and I'm thankful enough because I've been using my holidays fully and meaningfully to serve and know more about Him.

I reckon my walk with Christ has improved a lot after these few weeks of Jan working in YFC. I'm exposed to different ways to learn and explore the content of the Bible. I am still very amazed by the little details God has imprinted into it through different people. For in 2 Timothy 3:16 says, "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.", and I highly agree with that particular verse. Each and every verse in the Bible is inspired and given by God and we should treasure and take into heart very seriously.

Plus, I got to know also the power of prayer. In this 3 months journey as a short-term staff in YFC, I am supposed to raise my own fund in order to support my own movement. That's why I need to prepare a letter called Personal Support Scheme (PSS) every month. Initially I was really worried about this funding matter. When I was told about it in the office, I had so many concerns regarding where the money will come from, who is gonna give, how the letter is to be written and WHY MUST I DO SUCH A THING? No offense, but I thought the idea of having to ask people for $$ sounded so terrible.. and scary. But I realised as time goes by, this PSS thingy trained me to fully rely on God's provision. Then I prayed. So hard, so intensely. And the result? =) Yes, I got a few God-sent people to support me financially, sufficiently and adequately. Praise the Lord for that. You guys can pray for me too in this youth ministry. It'll be very much appreciated.

Last but not least, do go to the CF room to grab a few leaflets for an event that I am taking charge in YFC. It's called Human Tic-Tac-Toe and it's on the 15th of February in SMK KB. I hope to see some of you there! I'll update soon. =)

Here's a verse from Ms Sim during last CF meeting :
It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust man. - Psalm 118:8

Love in Christ,
Su Ann. =)

A little testimony from me

Hi everyone! My name is Jun Yin. I’m already school leavers. I’m 18 this year. I would like to share a little bit about how I come to know Jesus and how Jesus has changed my life here in this blog. Greeting to all you people who read this. xD

I come from family background that does not worship any God and my family does not go to church. When I was 11, my aunt brought me to church. After following her for a few times, she asked me whether I would want Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. I said yes, because I was curious what Christianity is like. After a while, I stop going to church because my dad do not allow me to.
After my UPSR, my dad insisted that I go to SMK St.Mary. His reason was st.mary is one of the best school in KL. I remember crying many nights not wanting to go to st.mary because it is a girls school. When I first step into st.mary, this girl approaches me and talk to me. She was really sweet and friendly. Today, she becomes my best friend. At that time, I was rather unfamiliar with things around me. So I ‘sticked’ to this friend of mine and she brought me to CF. From that time onwards, I attend CF every week. From form1 up to form 5. God has changes me in a lot of ways. I used to be the shy, emotional, depressed, timid and insecure girl. I feel life is meaningless. Life is really painful, no one understands how I feel and what I’m going through. I withdraw myself from people. Sometimes when I feel life is too hard to take, I will have suicidal thoughts. Until one day when I was in Form4, God revealed to me how precious I am in His sight and He loves me beyond my imagination. His love for me is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. And above all, He has a good plan for me and I am precious to Him. Yes, God revealed all this to me. I felt so touched. How can God love such a sinner like me? Through my 5 years in st.Mary, God has changed me little by little every day. To change is a process, you see. It does not happen overnight. I have found hope, joy, peace, trust, love and purpose in Jesus. All these are true. And you know what the best part of it is? Jesus can do for you all the things that He has done for me. He has changed me and gives me hope, peace, joy and purpose in life. He can do all these for you too if you choose to believe in Him and ask Him to help you. I am a testimony that God is real. You can be one too. Thanks for reading up till here :D
