          • The reflections after the Lay Leader’s seminar (2)

            Thank you for embracing me and allowing me to have a valuable experience in a precious place. I have seen, heard, and learned so many things through this Lay Leader’s seminar and the service you have showed. For 3 years after coming to Sydney, I lived a life of faith that felt like a Christian who is not a helper, a ‘wet leaf’ that is not a VIP, and a ‘still water’. Without discussing, my wife signed me up for this seminar, in which I thought to participate with the simple idea of just meeting good people.

            I carried a lack of faith in that I thought it would be enough just to stick to God’s side. And I participated in this seminar with the simple thought of adding a little bit more of religious knowledge through it. At the house church I was placed, and through the testimonies, during the dinner times, and through fellowships and lectures, these incorrect thoughts were broken in an instant, and God gave me a whole lot to think over, gave me a direction, and made me re-realise the paradigm of faith.

            In the meantime, I think I have been focusing only on “my things”; my life, my family, and my home. The shepherds and shepherds’ wives, especially from 000 house church, showed me the life of true believers who became an example for me when I had forgotten the most important thing. Thank you for showing me your life that would not be easy to open even to a fellow Christian. I was able to feel the Lord’s work through the appearance of the shepherds and shepherds’ wives who were praying for the VIPs in the midst of busy lives, spending their time for them, and quietly persevering through the day despite the worried hearts and difficult situations.

            (And, I was a bit shocked to see the children’s house church running so smoothly… I thought of our unfortunate children who had not been able to enjoy the kingdom of God well due to their parents’ ignorance… In the future we will apply to our children’s house churches what I have seen during the seminar.)

            A realisation from a 3 day seminar may not change my 30 year old faith immediately, but with the thanks to the pastors, shepherds and shepherds’ wives in the teachings and also giving me a fresh heart, I will try to live everyday by walking the path with the Lord. And wherever I go, I will remember… which has already stuck in my head, of ‘Saving souls, and making disciples”, in order to realise His vision and to go towards the joy.

            I thank all the Sydney Crystal Church members who prayed and prepared for this seminar from beginning to the end, and I look forward to the tomorrow and the future of Sydney Crystal Church in how the Lord will work in it.
