i think 10 years later, or maybe even 5, Eunice is going to look back and shiver at her Shanghai craze, and how she decorates it everywhere, at church, on herself, on others, at bpgcphilippians.blogspot.com also. As fanatically mad as she is now, as embarassed she'll be then i think. haha.. no offence.
But maybe not, through hearing from fellow BPGC Philippians '2006 who spent their childhood with her, she comes across as being erm. hyper actively more hystercial than the ones beside her, but the mention of those erm.. not very decent encounters appeared not to have induced a kind of paiseh-ness. haha.. so who knows, 10 years down, the mention of anything 'Shanghai' may just get her all excited again!

i've thoroughly enjoyed myself in today's Project Serve. We had this session in the afternoon, when Project Servants were taught the gospel content (Bridge to Life), but a group of us were herded into a separate room on our own to complete case studies in written form, kinda like a test. So we were given like 3 situations/ responses we get from students, related to the gospel content, and another section which consists of Structured Questions, also in relation to the gospel content itself. It was fun tackling these real-life examples, and really challenges me if i want to share the gospel relevantly, in fact, these are questions that often arises during gospel sharing, even on streets. knowing how to respond, or the answers to these questions make us clearer of what we believe in, so we will be able to explain to the person clearly. You know, the gospel is not about merely those 5 points, but its truly realising the need of the person and how the gospel can be permeated into his/her life, so we need to find something that is convicting.
haha... then after taking 30mins to answer the Questions on our own, everyone shared our answers with one another. (there were 8 of us- i think we were singled out because we have been sharing the gospel for quite some time already). I really really enjoyed the learning and hearing from each other.

Probably i'll list down the ideas here so you guys can also think about them. its not phrased exactly the same as its printed on my worksheet, i dun have it now coz we needed to hand it up at the end of the exercise.

Case 1: Sec 1 girl doesn't realise that she has sinned against God, so she doesn't see why God should punish her.

Case 2:At Macs, some students were lamenting that the Indonesians are rather poor things. They get hit by so many disasters like Bird Flu, Tsunamis, impending earthquakes. Then one student suddenly exclaimed, 'God must be behind all these', but the students quickly dismissed that idea, another student concluded, 'God can't be behind all these things, so many innocent lives are lost'.

Case 3: After a bible study on Romans 1, a student was rather disturbed, she find it hard to share to her friends as she can't identify how her friends are as sinful as mentioned in the passage. the student comes from a school where students are well-behaved and academically good, so she can make no connection between how sinful as mentioned in the bible to her friends. How to reconcile her experiences with the sinfulness that is stated in bible?

Structured Qns:
1. What is the significance of the resurrection?
2. Why must Jesus come down to die on the cross? Why can't he just descend dramatically from Heaven and declare that He forgives everyone?
3. Define repentance
4. Why is it important to state that God is the Creator?

I think there's 1 more question, but i've forgotten already.
Boon Jin (staff) will discuss with us tomorrow. i can't wait! whee!!! :)
