no words.
he spoke about east timor.the youths there, the elderly there, the children, the green scenery that makes one gaze in amazement at God's creation once again.
he spoke about his heartbeat for our church to reach out more, to give more, to have people willing to go out into the mission field long term, to plant churches, to preach the word.
other churches had such concrete plans for their mission work in east timor, but we don't.
i guess it gets discouraging for him at times.
he spoke with passion, with a sincere prayer and hope that our church may grow to look outwards more.
he spoke with tears welling up.
it's burdening when a church looks only inwards...
can understand a little of how he feels.
wishing i could go there.
his passion for the youths.
wanting to build up a group of youths who learn to put Christ in the centre, to see the value of evangelism, to make disciples, to help younger christians, to reach out to their friends.
sometimes i guess he does feel at a lost too.
there are so many wishes and hopes for the youths...
you're right... he's looking too for... us.
aunty kt in hospital.
doctors seem pessimistic...
he said, in such situations, it's hardest being a pastor....
it really is........
at times he wishes he had the words to say...
but in such times, there is really nothing to say.....
he too spoke with watery eyes...
two men - sincere and Godly. with a big heart.
God's gift to our church.
her two young boys.
i wonder how they are......
J at such a young tender age, does he understand what's happening?
E at an age, understanding himself, understanding reality, understanding God, is there something in him that wants to look strong on the outside though it hurts so much inside?
she once taught me sunday school..
she was part of my childhood learning journey in knowing God.
i hope she received it.
and read it.
God.... be with them.......
burdened.
help me to trust.
