a day of visions and aspirations.

rotted all the way till 5pm, when i had to meet xiaojia for makeup bible studies. well, was given a task to do, and it's about organising a event so that our friends would come and join us, and know about God at the same time. ( herman are you reading this? =P )

well, when i was in the bus, i was thinking of many things. i thought of a basketball league that would run for some period of time, and at the end of the day's competition, there would be a devotion time. it's extracted from the salvation army's plan, but i further enhanced it.

we would have to specify the purposes of the basketball league, so that the basketballers would not be there just to play basketball. at least they would know that there is a period of time called devotion after the competition.

why league? if your thinking of that, i have the answer. most basketball competitions are held for 2-3 days, and during that few days, it is hard to reach out to youths. i felt that a league would be nice as it would last more weeks and it would not be that messy. there would not be too many people moving in and out at the same time, thus crowd control is easy.

after devotion period, all the team members would be seperated from their groups, and they would form a smaller group with a church member. this is to make sure that they interact with other basketballers, and mixing them together so that they would not be with their team mates, and there would not be any peer pressure.

during this period of time, the church member would share on the topic regarding the devotion period, and they would discuss more about the topic within the group. it would be like a mini cellgroup minus the praise and worship.

well, that was a vision, and there were many "background" stuffs to consider. the cost of booking a basketball court, first-aid members, admin stuffs, logistics and security. perhaps theres more, but thats all i can think of. i wonder if it's possible if the church would cover those cost~ tEehEe~

anyway, my cellgroup would have to work extremely hard, if this plans really gets approved. i suddenly had a "sight" that told me that the members have to really pray extremely hard together, and my "sight" really seemed big scale. ( think prayer meetings and overnight ones. ) then, somehow the word sacrifice came into my mind, and i felt that God wants me/us to sacrifice our time, money, effort into this project.

after that vision, came another vision. i had thoughts of becoming a cellgroup leader! i "sighted" that i was giving sermons, talks and encouragement to groups and even in CHC's podium! lolx=P

really cool stuffs, i'm "dreaming" about. hope that it's not a dream, but God's plan for me=)
