SOT'08 has officially ended.

It has been a really exciting 5 months in CHBTC.

This 5 months is nothing short of an adventure with Jesus. The endless assignments, bible reading and examinations is enough for sleepless nights. But there's still cellgroups to attend, mission trips to go for, conferences and early morning prayer meetings!

But it was never a drag for me to attend classes every morning, praising and worshiping God or finishing my assignments.

In SOT, I learned to be understanding. I started becoming meek and not get easily offended by others. In SOT, my faith in God grew and I experienced Him in so many different ways!

He's never late, always on time. His promise for me came to past! That everything will be settled, that I do not have to worry about finances.

Now that SOT has ended, a new chapter begins.

What lies ahead maybe hazy, but now I've the faith to trust God and His ways, that He has a great plan and destiny for me. Being equipped with the Word, I can now be an effective minister of Jesus.

Having much "head knowledge" about Jesus Christ, now is the time to experience it!

For your dream to come to past, you must help others achieve their dreams first.

Classes with Pastor Kong is always so inspiring.

Pastor finished up the Cultural Mandate Series today and he opened up the time for some Question & Answer.

Several interesting questions were asked and I remember very vividly a question asked by a female student, with regards to stepping out in faith into the entertainment world.

Pastor's reply to her question really inspired me a lot.

"We chose to walk in faith." - Ps Kong

Pastor was sharing with us the experience he and Sun had to go through and the decision he had to make. They could have cruised through life when church was 10,000 in strength. But Pastor felt that this isn't what he wants to be.

So Sun crossed over into the entertainment scene and Pastor became a voluntary, to go off salary.

To me, that's really walking in faith. Making the decision to go "salary-free" and Sun crossing over is definitely something that requires tons of faith! It's really something that most people wouldn't even think of!

As Pastor was sharing his experiences, it just made me feel that Pastor such a normal person. Someone that struggles with weaknesses as well. But the difference is not because he's the Senior Pastor of a mega-church.

But he's a man after God's heart.

He's willing to lay aside all the comfort, riches and glory to pursue God's kingdom. It really takes a lot of security and faith to make the decisions he has made.

I feel really blessed to have Pastor Kong as my Senior Pastor!

All things are possible with Jesus!
