This bunch of people are really really precious to me. Though I have moved to the adult congregation CG, the folks from the JesusLivingStones CG(thank God we got a proper name change, else we’ll end up as BPJ/CCK CG) never fail to invoke strong wonderful memories and my heart is still very much with them.
It was great to have had a sort of reunion with the multiplied LivingStones CG (3 wonderful gps) at a retreat in the beginning of the week. I am really so very thankful to see almost all the original bunch from the first CG leading in some way, be it in the CGs or in the Campus Ministries. Really thank God that over the last few years, God has sustained each and every single person, and He faithfully groomed and grew each one. How exciting it would be to see in few years time, more stonies will be found serving and loving God.
It was just pure joy to hear individual sharings and catching up with them at the retreat. So great to see the older ones like Guan Hua, Willie, Kiat, Rebec, Joy, Sharon guiding and leading the others. And others who though young are rising up and serving Him. I really count it a priviledge to be able to serve alongside with them. I see many of the stonies with far greater maturity than many in the adult congregation, do hope you’ll continue to grow.
I have known many Christians whom I’ve served alongside in the past, who were fervent and who loved the Lord but today are no longer walking with Him, and it saddens me. A common thread is that it begins with compromise. I do pray that every stonie will hold fast and never compromise on God’s word and will leave a lasting legacy. Continue to press on towards the finish. Hope to see you all at the finish line!
To each and every stonies, my prayer for you is that you’ll hold fast to God. Hold fast to His Word. Never quit. Never compromise. Love Him always. Obey Him always.
Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe. 1 Timothy 4 :12
