ACL for the 6th Year

I feel now and then, I shall remind myself or at least remember the time when pastor cx (or at least I think it’s her or was it ps becky) first approached me for the role of ACL I think hmm.. 6 years ago? (1 with Yvonne, 3 with cindy, abt 2 after cindy) I remembered how excited I was. I’ve been looking for a ministry and I was raring to serve anywhere the pastors are willing to approach me on. I jumped at the opportunity to be one. To say that I’ve not thought of quitting at all, I’ll be lying, in fact 2 or 3 times I’ve told myself, “okay, I’ll step down end of the year” , but it’s always the thought that there is no replacement as yet forced the idea temporarily aside.

But I think last year or 2 years ago, in the first service of the yearps calvin preached, he has never thought of stepping down and urged leaders not to give up cos there’s not stop to the race or something like that. For some reason I was really inspired and reminded me of my first time I took up the role. There is really no better ministry than cell ministry, where you can directly do something to touch ppl’s life, help ppl feel at home, have a place they belong to in church, let ppl know they have somebody who will encourage them and standby them. Create opportunities to build bonding, opportunities to evangelise, build up word of God and worship together and basically build ppl up to be nearer to God. Yes, it takes up a lot of time, energy, commitment and re-adjustment of priorities, but once again, ill remind myself or let God remind me, that this is the best ministry to serve God in, in times when I’m tired and no one to rely on.
