Wake Up and Dream. The Time is NOW!!

EARC(East Asia Regional Conference) 2011 ended more than 3 weeks ago! =( I was so busy I only have the chance to write it now. It was such a great blessing to be able to come together as different people,with different tongues, race, culture & background, all praising and worshiping the same God!


It was a whole new experience to be grouped together with people from different nations & tongues. The most ironic thing of all was that never before have I, in any conferences or camps, clicked with my group mates so well & so instantly as this. The first time it happened was at this conference,where we come from different parts of the world with such different backgrounds.


Our theme for EARC was "Wake up and Dream. The Time Is Now." A rather weird title to me at first. Wake up & DREAM?? "Come on, go home & sleep if you wanna dream." That's what people always tell me when I tell them something that seem too ridiculous to be true. I guess that's why we don't dare to have big dreams anymore.


I want to IMPACT the people around me. I want to make a DIFFERENCE in the lives of many. I want to make a CHANGE in this NATION. With all that is happening in Malaysia now, it seems too hard; almost impossible that a mere one person can make much difference at all. All the corruption, the injustice, the oppression & the abuse of power. It seems like a far off dream to be able to change all these. Many of my friends say that it's no point trying to do anything, cause it won't happen. They opted to migrate to another "better" country. 


What I've learned from the conference is that if God can use Haggai to restart the building of God's temple & change the whole nation, then why can't He use us as well? I believe God will not just use one man (though He can) to change this nation because He will put in many of us the burden to make a change in this nation, however He will NOT overlook a person just because He is ONE man or one woman. Each one of us matter in the "rebuilding" of the temple of God in the hearts of many in our respective nations. If only each one of us are willing to lay down a BRICK each for the rebuilding work. I'm sure we will make a BRIDGE that will unite everyone in this nation.


SO, wake up!! Dare to DREAM!! The time is NOW!! Let's make a change & BE the change the our nations need, regardless of which countries we are from. One day, we will see each other again & we will share how God moved our nations massively. Be sure of it!  ;)


p/s: One other thing that made my time there in Singapore memorable has definitely got to be my lovely group members from Group 25 (or rather 2 Five 2 Furious!! XD ). I miss each one of u guys. Our awesome group leader & my finest student(for wheelchair): Miss Grace (Thailand), another Grace in the group(Malaysia), our awesome Singaporean delegate Gabriel, the 2 other "confused" Singaporean delegates who are not from Singapore: John (Malaysia) & Yachincha (Indonesia), the shy but definitely not what she portrays: Miss Immas (Indonesia), the funny guy in the group: Steven (Hong Kong) & last but not least, the sweetest member in our group: Miwa (Japan).


I love you guys & you all really taught me a lot. I really did appreciate the time we had together & I praise God for each one of YOU!! You guys (and girls) are AWESOME!!! 2 Five 2 Furious!! RAWR!!!! =D
Till we meet again, I'll keep you in my prayers ;)
