Heard that the youth camp was a hit! Update me more about the camp if you can… come to think of it, this is the first time I am missing the youth camp after 10 years… getting sentimental…hehee..
These few days have been great. I have been studying Spanish diligently and time really flies! I have been invited to a few Chilean home for dinner, here they call it “once”. They will eat bread, avocado and ham for their dinner. Pretty interesting huh… I had several “once” thus far.
On Wednesday, Pui See and I visited Andrea and her friend. They were very hospitable to us. It was a great girl’s talk. And it was a good experience for me to see how the Chileans live. Yesterday we went to another home. They are all very nice and warm people. The pic below…
Today JieHui and I visited the university with PuiSee again. It was pretty fruitful as I got to know 2 new friends. One of them are interested in our English course and she lives quite near to our place.
I realised that one of the keys to the growth of the church in acts church is the tangible presence of God. There is a sense of awe and reverent fear of God. The people do not just know that God exist in their minds but their experience Him as well. Most Chileans call themselves a Christian/Catholic here but there seems to be an absence of the power and presence of God. I know that it starts from myself. I have to first live a consecrated live and a life of worship.
Rick Warren puts it very well
“This is the secret to a lifestyle of worship – doing everything as if I was doing it for Jesus. The Message paraphrase says, “Take your everyday, ordinary life – your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life – and place it before God as an offering.” Work becomes worship when you dedicate it to God and perform it with an awareness of his presence. “
I am reminded to be a Mary not a Martha.
