We just celebrated our Hope of God Kuching 15th anniversary on Sunday morning. Hip hip hooray.. !! Great great! I woke up quite early, around 6++ am, just to get myself prepared for the worship practice. And this morning was sightly different. Why? Because I makan breakfast!! **applause applause** Okay, I was giving my body sufficient strength to sustain for the whole service..
Reached SUPP hall around 7:35 am. Some of the performers did their self-preparation while others were busying entertaining themselves with their own schedule. I set up my guitar properly on stage, make sure that when i jumped and there will be no "Kit Kiak Kok Kiak" sound and the guitar string won't break during the session of playing. And it didn't !! WOW.. **Applause to the firm strings Applause**
I was 5% nervous and 95% excited !!
Along the rehearsal, I mean Before the rehearsal, something went out off our plan, which was POWER FAILURE !!!! Ergghhh... Black-out !!! It occurred around 8.15am. Not at this time ~~~~ Our worship team waited patiently together along with the other performers too. No electric supply, so only left the only survivor which was my little mini acoustic guitar managed to survive. And we did an unplugged practice on stage. Pretty cool though !
More visitors....
**Please be aware that the photos are not taken by me with my Pro-fes-sion-nal skills. Some are from Brenda's. So don't blame if it's not in a good effect.
9.15am --Pastor Denis led in heart preparation.
More and more visitors...
9.30am --- Showtime !!
It started off with some traditional dancing and flag swinging.
After that, moving on to the "Mouth archery". Haha.. this was so funny. The balloons that have hung up high were over fragile until those wooden arrows yea, arrowsss... bounced backward when it supposed to burst the balloons~~. Haha.. probably next time we should use **cough cough gun**. Hmm...
Moving on !! Praise and Worship !!! Which was led by Joshua and the team. I can't find the P&W video at the moment, will upload it if i've found one. This the only picture i have with me.
Cool and impactful !!! Everyone rushed to the front. Hmm... Mostly were the youths, what to do.
Preaching..Pastor Simon, founder of Hope Kuching together with the translator, Bro. Kilat.
1) Maturing of the Church
That was not the end yet.... Not forgetting our Closing dance ceremony !! Present to you by our MAD GEN.
**No video at the moment, will upload it once when i've the code. Wait wait..."Patience is a virtue."
Encouragement by Pastor Simon.
Matthew 16:18 ".....and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it."
I always hark back to what Pastor Denis and Pastor Simon has shared which encourages me a lot.
Pastor Simon:" Life is certainly more than just earning money, being successful in career and etc. God has definitely places each and everyone of you something GREATER than these things. Put your life in a worthwhile vision."
I can't find the rest of the guys. No idea where were they. So paiseh le. No snap shot of your faces.
