Hahax.. I'm back to blog again.. hahax.. this time to make up for the 2 wks of not blogging, i'm gonna blog an extremely long one.. it's about my experience during the Emerge conference this year..
Well, Emerge has really gone so fast.. it has really impacted my life tremendously.. i've never experienced such hunger in the Lord before.. it's like his presence is so strong that i cannot stop crying during worship.. it's like my tears are flowing down like streams.. never ending.. i've also never felt so hungry for spiritual food in my life before.. i just yearn for more and more and more preaching and the word of God.. It is like my spiritual walk with God is like have already experienced a 180 degrees turn to the other side..
So let me share what happen during these 4 days.. (31st May to 3rd June)
Day 1: 31st May Woke up at 5am in the morning.. got ushering.. i dont know why.. i was like extremely excited for Emerge that i cant really sleep well the night before.. but guess what, i was totally charged up when i started praying the 1st thing i wake up.. Had my bath and i left home to meet Alson.. We were going to meet up to go to expo together.. hahax.. so we met up, took 969 to tampines and changed to train to go to expo.. so when we arrived at expo, it was only 7.05am.. was extremely early.. the earliest i've ever reported for usher (*Note: i am always late for ministry).. so straight away, we went to set up Traffic 2 (the back carpark) the area.. very tiring and i started sweating alot.. den finally at 8.45, i went to scan my attendance.. CHARLIE!!!.. WOOHOO!! so i was doing accupoint with Darren along Charlie terrace highway 3.. Really an excellent experiece and an eye opener.. I saw everyone so hungry to get seats as close to the stage as possible.. Den i was also sent to outside.. to give out the emerge water.. that one made me sweat till my shirt was totally wet that when i went into the hall, i was shivering.. hahax.. Really cold mah.. hehex..
So service finally started.. It was a magnificent beginning but only a few hip-cups occured during the brainest youth.. but nvm.. hahax.. so pastor preached about Shamgar.. Him being audacious, him being willing, him having a powerful prayer life and him going for the anoiting.. I was really impacted although it was the 3rd time i hear this message.. but it seems that each time i hear it once again, i seems to learn more things.. It's like smth gotta do with me being a President of the Sports Leaders in School.. Being a leader.. it seems like we gotta be willing to serve.. We gotta be audacious (meaning fearless, daring, unrestrained by any sense of lack or ineediquettecy).. we gotta be hungry for God's anointing to be on us.. we gotta have persistence.. it's like we cannot give up, fall already, stand up again.. dont be afraid.. So one revelation that i've got during this message was even me can make a difference in my campus.. Bcoz if God can use a simple, uneducated man like Shamgar, den what more us who are educated..
So after the service, i went to hall 7 to accompany the Cell Group for fellowship.. den reported back at 3pm for duty.. was assigned to internal traffic.. My favourite.. The most garang one but i love it the most.. hahax.. so i was assigned to tunnel 4 to guard the tunnel and lay chairs for Charlie & Delta PIE & Terrace.. Den halfway, while preparing, i saw someone on stage preparing.. he really looks like Tank, the singer.. But i was telling myself impossible bah.. so in the midst after door open, i was asked to go to arrange chairs at Hall 7 for the over flow.. it was like very tiring.. gotta go to and fro from hall 7 and 8 to bring chairs over.. very tiring lor.. hahax.. nxt time if u can, let you try.. hahax.. Den service finally started.. and guess what, we have Fei-er from FIR who is here.. but too bad she cannot perform as smth like smth is stated in her contract that she cannot perform unless we pay her company.. den guess what, we have a guess performance.. it was by TANK!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!!! so the one i saw earlier practicing was really TANK!! WOOHOO!!! so he sang 2 songs and he shared that the song Dear Tank was actually written by him to God for his music talent.. He is a Christian and he was sharing with us how much church and God has impacted his life that time, he started crying.. But it was really impacting to the youths.. To reach out and go out and achieve their dreams in the Marketplace..
So after service, i straight away left and took the charted bus home.. send Joeann home liao den i reached home at ard 12.30am.. hahax..
-----------------END OF DAY 1--------------------
Day 2: 1st june This time, i didnt went for the morning session.. i got O lvl practical for my fnn.. will upload the pics the nxt post.. hahax.. rather screwed up..
All right, get back to emerge.. hahax.. day 2, i only reached expo at 8.30pm.. hahax.. while Wayu, the multi-millionaire of our churhc, was sharing his testimony on how he become so rich.. hahax.. so along the way, i went to tunnel 3.. saw esther woo.. she was like asking me what i cook.. den i told her the 4 dishes.. she was like "WAHHH" for all lor.. den she say she wanna try.. i hear liao also very happy.. finally someone say my cooking is nice and wanna try my food besides Tong Xin.. hahax.. dont worry esther, i'll cooked for you one..
So i got seated and shared a seat with a sister usher.. hahax.. den after that, guess what, it was time for the guest star performance time.. it was Chen Diya and Chen Shi Wei.. both of them are christians as well.. hahax..
After service, took the chartered bus home again.. after alighting, i started talking to Johnny and Gerald.. it's like smth inside of me that is wanting me to tell them.. i told Gerald the new school IC who's gonna take over me to organise prayer meeting during this holidays.. I believe that this holiday will surely be an impactful one not only bcoz of EMERGE.. but also our prayer meeting for our school's revival..
-----------------END OF DAY 2 --------------------
Day 3: 2nd June Met Cui Ying and Joeann, took 969 to tampines and den MRT to expo.. den i and cui ying went to take attendance first.. hahax.. guess what.. GOT INTERNAL AGAIN!!!!

I was suddenly asked by a IC to sit at Charlie arena 2 the 2nd row with the pastors.. den pastor started preaching.. den it's like i was there without a bible and notebk.. very awkward lor.. but the message was powerful.. it really moved me alot.. den pastor decided to lay hands on the people from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau.. so i was down there catching people directing the flow.. den at the end when we worship, guess what, LIU GEN HONG WAS STANDING RIGHT BESIDE ME!!! hahax.. he's very tall lor.. hahax..

Pastor preached an excellent message.. the most impactful and best one this conference.. about carring the trumpet for God.. it started with Moses, to Joshua, to Samuel, to David, to Joel, to the angels, to Jesus, to Simon Peter, to Paul and the list goes on.. so now is the time where it's time for us to hold on to the trumpet.. to carry the trumpet for God.. it was like after the sermon, when we sing the song "making a difference" that time, i wept like never before.. it's like it's never ending tears that came down..
