"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes" Romans 1:16 (NIV)
Thank God it's GOOD FRIDAY!! :D
We had an awesome day yesterday at the zoo organised by MADCOW, LoveAid and 3:16 for the precious little ones! Praise God for the most prefect weather ever! It was so amazing and really thank God for all the hard works that everyone had put in. SUPER TIRING but super WORTH IT!
Shall share on one of the highlights that I gained from this event.
So, Jerm and I were tasked to share the Gospel to the kids at our station. Our initial plan was, Jerm will share with the first group and I will share with the next group that arrive. However, when the next group came, I chickened out. NO JOKE. To be honest, I was really fearful when I saw so many kids and was worried that I may not be able to connect with them. So, I was like begging him to take on the next group. In the midst of his sharing with the next group, another group of kids came and that was when I knew that I really had to take the steps of faith to trust God to see me through the Gospel sharing.
I started by asking the kids what do they think Good Friday is all about. One of the kids excitedly replied, "I know, I know! Good Friday is good because it's a public holiday and we get to come out and play!!"
All the adults burst out laughing when we heard that innocence answer. HAHAHA.
I took a deep breath and started sharing as simply as I could to help the kids understand the love of Jesus. When I give out the invitation, it was so heart-warming to see so many hands raised to want to receive Jesus into their hearts! I was deeply humbled indeed. Truly, it's not by my own strength but by the Spirit of God to work in their hearts! My job is to simply trust God to use me to deliver the message to them.
Truly, there is no better ways to celebrate the crucifixion of Christ than to being able to proclaim the Gospel to the precious little ones! :) Thank God for this privilege and it was the best way of remembering what Jesus has done for all of us on the Cross. To God be the glory!!
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." ~Matthew 19:14 (NIV) ~
Let all that you do be done in love,
