rj!

cool! i got to witness some rj peeps worshipping God today at a crusade gd fri outreach event (too bad it wasn't in rj itself tho.. anyway the old building is gone). i have never seen that in school in my life. i am so thankful that God let me see it in my lifetime. watched some capable young leaders who assured me that the future of christian-gathering in rj was in good hands..
rj to me was always only about studying and band and friends. (so was st nick's, even tho it was a catholic school.) i'd never associated christian fellowship with school. it was non-existent in my vocab.
anyway, we played numb, bring me to life and fix you as part of a drama.. first 2 were so intense n i missed a ton of right chords/harmony.. hehe. scary man. 
to admit, i was quite amazed that none of the audience walked out during the worship.. i can imagine that uni students and older (esp. humanist grp...hehehe) might have done so. i guess we've met many Christian/religion/God-haters lately n have come to expect that most ppl are just as cynical. i m real happy that non-cynics still exist in this world.
they were so BOLD! in proclaiming Jesus n just being worshippers. even the crusade staff were surprised. cuz nowadays we always talk about how pple don't wanna hear churchy jargon etcetcetc., so must engage at the audience's level, be relevant... etcetc. seemed to happen only after worship tho.
real encouraged by them. yay rj.

  1. awesome! Agree, didn't see that much in RJ. Good to know that there are worshipers there who are not afraid to proclaim Christ as Lord. :)
