The Day Away was definitely the highlight of the entire CE program.  All  the young adults congregated at YWCA for a comprehensive study on the four important aspects of Christian living. The program kicked off with icebreakers, allowing the participants  to interact and closer bonding. The first two topics discussed during the morning sessions were, purpose of the Church and the Bible. A short discussion of 45mins followed, allowing the participants to explore these topics further. We really appreciated Pastor Chua and Kong Yew who answered any queries from the floor.

The Buffet Lunch was something that everyone was looking forward too as well. And after filling our stomachs with physical food, we were all ready to receive more spiritual food as we entered into the second half of the program. We learnt many truths behind Prayer and the Holy Spirit. And best of all, Pastor Chua ended off the session with a time of prayer where anyone could go up front to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues. Many lives were touched as the Pastors and leaders prayed for those who came out for prayers.

Worshipping the Most High

 The Day Away was indeed a memorable time of learning, growing and fellowshipping together. It is certain that many of us will have many things to share about the blessings they had received through this day.

Happy Participants!

Many participants have been blessed by Christianity Explored. For the next few weeks, we would see what the young adults have to say how they have been blessed by it.

To kickstart, we have Jean Lim from the green group to share with us how she has been benefited:

The Young Adult Ministry kick started “Christianity Explored”, an 11 week course, which is held on every Saturday, from 3rd July – 11th Sept 2010, at the main auditorium in WRPF. CE is an informal way to investigate Christianity or to brush up on the basics. Each week, the program will begin with Ice Breaker, followed by a short discussion about the previous week’s topic, where participants are assimilated into their respective groups. After which, there will be a video screened to explain in detail the topic of the day, to let the audience have a better understanding of the person of Jesus and His work on the cross. Finally, the groups will gather again to discuss about the thought-provoking questions listed on the video and the session would end with a sumptuous meal and a time of fellowship.

It had been several weeks of exciting training and experiential learning for all the cell groups that were gathered together at ACTS Lifestyle every Friday for retooling.  The purpose was to equip everyone to be disciple-making communities. The early sessions were mainly about self-discovery: different temperaments; the love languages; multiple-intelligences; and gender differences. The cells learn about one another in greater depth so that we can better relate to one another. At the same time people discover more about themselves, which is a bonus. Pastor Chua Seng Lee used his broad training experiences to equip the church for making disciples of the wrpf qualities.

Anticipation and fun was part of everything. It was not boring because there was less monologue and more surveys, workshops, moving about, games with learning objectives, and group discussions. Time just sped, and like shark fin soup served in a tiny bowl, people came the next week with an appetite for more. The young trainees of the STAR training program were given assignments to do and they were excellent and confident in leading the games and manning the multiple intelligences booth.
