The start of a movement!!!

I'm just so excited to share what has happened the past week in my life in Tekong! One of the cool highlights that our platoon has been hooked too is, the army version of "polar bear" which i shared to a few ppl in my platoon, it soon spread on to more ppl in our platoon and we started to call it "wild boar"! Where we are the soldiers, the wild boar is the polar bear, guru the "encik", healer the "medic" and an additional character the poison fish. With whatever breaktimes we had, this was our key entertainment as we bonded together as a platoon! =)

Wells actually the main thing that i wanted to share is what my blog title says...Many people serving their life in national service, will probably talk abt the stuff they do in their trainings and all, but i would rather share it in a different perspective from where God has take me!

Ever since Monday, God led me to couple more like minded Christians in my platoon and we all felt the need to start a bible study/ prayer grp so we can be accountable with one another & continue to encourage one another in the Faith!!! And soooo ...amazingly we had a long admin time on monday night to actually start our FIRST ever meet up at a quiet corridor at our level, started with 4 of us sharing a bit of our lives & we had our bibles with us, thus 2 more came later noticing that we were doing like some bible study together so their curiosity actually came to us knowing they were fellow believers too and they were interested to join too! So it expanded to 6!

So each of us started to share our hearts abt our purpose in this place, and we all had this common mutual heartfelt prayer before NS, which was to find fellow likeminded chrsitian brothers! AND WOW! God made our paths crossed for all our prayers to be ANSWERED! You know at that point that JOYOUS FEELING was so intrinsic to just know that theres others who feels the exact same way!

So we than spend some time of readin the Word & sharing together & even spend a time of prayer! We cld really sense God with us! And soon more than an hr just past like that! And it didnt stop there, we started to have such regular meet up, every single night! SOMEHOW GOD provided some time! With diff grps each day, once a couple of pre-believers sat in too! And thinking back abt that one time where we sang some songs & just worship together was simply amazing!!! =D...


We really believe that this really is a start of a great MOVEMENT in our company to come as we are forseeing it to expand to the believers to other platoons too!! And you know each time we meet up we just feel SO EXCITED!!! I recalled one night that one of my new christian buddy and me cldnt slp bcoz of the excitement of what God has showed us! AMAZING RIGHT! That was my motivation each day! But with all this going on, the SPIRITUAL WARFARE was at its peak! As the devil indeed tried to bring us down as we went closer to the Lord! A few of us started to get sick with diff problems started to happen! I got a sore throat the next day on tues & ran a slight fever from weds to fri! But THANK GOD that he kept me going till today! =)

Anyways I really want to SAY THANKS AGAIN to everyone out there who has been praying for me! This movement wont have started to happened if not for your prayers! =)

Excited to see where God can take this TEKONG ministry from here on =)

Will be stuck in camp for the next 2 weeks straight! At Field camp & Sit test! Continue to keep us in prayers! =)
