one of the few seniors in school that i have who is in the same church as me. he left for Miri before i came back. and it was only mini updates that i had. a catchup during the watchnight(new years eve) service was a valuable one. amazing.
he was in Miri for 3 years as an IT lecturer. he was starting to find it pointless and as he was going to make the decision to return to west malaysia. however it all changed just 4 months ago.
and a very weird series of events it was. he said he started attending the CF and soon became a facilitator/resource person. some time later, a student came into his office to ask to use the internet. while using, she broke down in tears cause she just broke up. and he was going, 'what the? ... okayyy...'
as he sends the CF students home, he was 'caught' many times in positions that he needed to minister to them. there were many new christians and a real need to nurture and teach. many had already accepted Christ for about 4 months plus (or more) but had no chance or opportunity to learn God's Word. and who else better? the position that he's in now reminded him of what he did before and he admitted he got to brush up on God's Word.
he's teaching a girl bible study during his lunch breaks because she has an 8pm curfew and can't attend BS or cell groups at night. he's using the SPM Bible Knowledge book on Luke. he said while he was learning Bible Knowledge for SPM last time, the teacher, Miss Moey said that one day, he'll be teaching BS as well and he laughed. oh well...
all in 4 months.
you should see the life in his eyes. as he was speaking, i couldn't help but smile as he's starting to get involved in the uni ministry and see the vast amount of areas that's needed. well, he's in my prayers.
a quote from him, 'i'm not going back to a job. i'm going back to a ministry. my classes are not just mere IT lessons but also an avenue to teach about life.'
