I think I can be more generous with saying this: "I appreciate the four of you very much. Thank you for journeying together in 2019 through the highs and the lows, celebrating successes together, evaluating together things that didnt go so well... thank you for bearing with one another and for sticking through even in 2020!" #rageemerge #wearebettertogether https://www.instagram.com/p/B6x6ywpHNtd/?igshid=1l7aslbb6b5ow

Oh, what joy to watch the 13-14yo serve the Japanese guests that came to visit us today. They were told to come to GI at 9.45am and no one was late. 👍 They received instructions and acted upon them, and no word of complaint was heard even though things were a little messy in the morning and some of them didn't even get to eat much of the breakfast. 👍 They took care of the Japanese girls and went out of their comfort zone to talk and play with them. 👍 I saw the servant's heart as I watched them host the guests today. And Lord, i thank You for giving me a glimpse of the potential of these young people. Truly no one is too young to be in the kingdom of God and to serve Him because to serve Him is to serve people. Show me more of Your heart for them, Lord. • I'm also thankful for all the leaders who were of great support and special shoutout to @catsandtowels who willingly agreed to my spontaneity in getting him to share the gospel to the Japanese people! I thank God for your heart, Gene! • One funny moment i had today. I said to a group of girls at breakfast "watch her. She will show you how to eat this thing." And then went like 😱 "SHOYU???" I died. 🤣 #rageyouth #rageemerge #wewillemergestronger https://www.instagram.com/p/BslBpZhh286/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xqu2qx4ase9k

Today was the last serve of Emerge 2018 and it was bittersweet. And bittersweet is probably an understatement. It was more bitter than sweet for me. In a good way. • No words can describe how I'm even feeling about this community that has been built the past two years. I didn't even realise how close to my heart this bunch has grown to be until God said to give it back to Him. My heart broke. I felt like a piece of my heart was taken away from me as I struggled to yield to what the Lord was telling me to do. I wanted to hold on to this, but no, God said no. • I always told people "ministry belongs to God" but never really knew what it meant until God said to give it back to Him. My heart is still an open wound as I type this, and tears still well up in my eyes.. but I know what's the wiser thing to do. And that is to yield to the Lord and do what He says even if it's difficult because Jesus is better than anything else that I can have in this world. • God, thank You for Your grace upon my life. Thank You for being gentle in the way You told me to give back the ministry to You. Thank You for knowing what's best for me. Lord, it's still painful, but I'm trusting You. I'm holding on to You. I'm dropping my anchor deep into You. For only You alone can satisfy me. Not young people, not the ministry. So take me, lead me and use me, Lord. • Three things I've learnt the last two years: 1. Leadership is a call to know God deeper. 2. All are called to a relationship with God. 3. Ministry is about leading people to begin a relationship with God by having relationships with them. • And Philippains 3:1-11 will probably mean much more to me now as I shared this for the last pre service. And signing off for now! #rageyouth #rageishome #thisiswhathomeshouldfeellike #rageemerge (at Grace Assembly Of God Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsAahRLhwA2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jxs9p4m24zvy

Emerge camp 2017 comm outing full attendance 🙌🏼 please forgive me if y’all felt I was harsh and seemingly impatient with y’all from the planning process to the execution of the camp last year... thank you for bearing with me! and more than having learnt the skills of planning a camp, I hope y’all also learnt to love God and love people more in the process 🙆🏻 remember: planning a good camp/event is important but never as important as growing in your relationship with God and with people 🙂 #rageishome #rageyouth #wewillemergestronger #rageemerge #plenntiffulhome #emergecamp2017

It’s almost the end of week 1 of 2018 and I thank God for many things that have happened the past week! And here’s just two of my highlights for today - the beginning of a full-fledged preteens Ministry (Emerge) and seeing my sheeeeep finding friends with young adults from the young adults Community! Much to praise Jesus for! 🙌🏼☺️ #rageyouth #rageemerge #wewillemergestronger #yayp (at Grace Assembly Of God Singapore)

#ragegoesglobal: Two teams of youths conquering our neighboring nation the next 36hours! Here's just one of the two teams going! Pray with us! #rageemerge #rageyouth #wewillemergestronger (at Ferry Departure @ HarbourFront Centre)

We finally met for the first time to plan for a MT that's happening in a month's time! It's definitely a new experience to lead a team that's much younger than the usual "youth" age. This bunch is between 11-13! But it's exciting to see how God is going to change their lives through this 2d1n trip. It's exciting already even to watch them talking, discussing and planning during the meeting just now 🙂 go win the world for Jesus, y'all! #nevertooyoungformissions #ragegoesglobal #rageyouth #rageemerge #wewillemergestronger (at Grace Assembly Of God Singapore)

Today was @enmingy 's debut preaching at #rageemerge (WEW!), teaching the preteens about their identity as a child of God. Totally enjoyed your preaching, Mingz! You really are gifted with the ability to connect with people, whether on stage or off stage, and i pray you'll use this gift however God wants you to! I mean it when I say I look forward to the next time you're preaching! 😄 #rageyouth #rageishome (at Grace Assembly Of God Singapore)
