Today is an exceptional different day because i will be meeting my long-time friends in AFC especially we have not been catching up with each other for ages. Obviously our big brother, Tat Long, was super excited about this coming dinner that he reminded us with a countdown. Haha..somehow his excitement infected me that i also look forward to meeting these wonderful friends like Veron, John, Andy, Lay Peng, Puay, Loong Fatt & our organiser Tat Long.
Now at the dinner table, though we have not met for a long time, the friendship & bond still remain. I wonder when we will meet again, but i know in Christ Jesus, we are still one family!
(p.s. Tat Long, though we disturbed you at the dinner table about your magical countdown, we appreciated you for organising this dinner. Without you, we would not meet Without you, we would not see each other especially Veron. So yeah, thanks man! Touched? haha..go ahead & cry lor :)
Many of you might not know, i am who i am now mainly is because of AFC, aka. Ambassadors for Christ, who has been an important agent in developing my spiritual foundation & growth in those early days of my faith. Every Saturday, a group of young people would gather together at different locations (from New World to Balestier YWAM to Steven Roads YMCA). We would sing praises, share word, fellowship, icebreaking, organise outings & annual camps. I tell you, it was really fun especially during camps, all of us would have a great time with the Lord & with one another. A theme song would be composed in every camp, one of them is "Here I am, standing in front of you" composed by bro Bill Chua, surprising right?
To me, every Saturday meeting & camp that the AFCians experienced were unforgetable & meaningful. Without God's awesome presence, our gathering would be in vain. It's because of His faithful work in AFC, many of us were exposed & trained in teamwork, leadership, administration, organisation & skill developments. Some of us have even gone into full-time ministry, while many are still growing strong in the Lord. Though AFC is no longer in existence (founded in 1978 & dissolved in 1993), she has served her destiny & purpose. In this, i give thanks to God for AFC.
Finally, "Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." (Heb 10:24-25)
