Being A Willing Vessel for Jesus...

By Candice

Looking from my past to the present, I’ve realized that I’ve changed during the past few years. All along I just wanted to be a Christian who comes to church and goes off right after service. I never wanted to commit myself into any ministries, cos I was afraid that it would be too “ma fan” and of cos I had a deep FEAR in me!

Until one day, I was asked to serve as a projectionist. I was still a very young Christian when I took over the projectionist ministry and it was really a challenge for me! I still remember my TERRIFIED face when I panicked, and when I had to do last minute slide presentations, I would be STRESSED!! At a lost and totally stressed up!

I went through times of difficulty and stressed over many things. The difficulties which I faced ranged from the basic knowledge of preparing a slide presentation to the complication process of setting up the entire system! I really felt very inadequate and loss in the beginning cos I was really a computer “bai chi”…though I think I still am now! Haha.

One of the worse times for me was when I was packing up the system after service. I would feel lonely and left out back then, especially when I saw the worship team together. But no matter what I was feeling I still carried on.

Some time ago I really felt like giving up, so I prayed that God would help me find someone who is better in IT skills to take over my role. I thought Gladys would be the one!! When I was just about to break this news to her, she decided to leave the projectionist ministry… I had no choice but carry on.

Since then God provided Pek Har, Leticia and Rhys came in, together with Celine and Violet. When they are around me, my heart would feel warm and fuzzy. They would help out with the packing up every Sunday and although these are little acts of kindness, I was very encouraged!

I don’t remember if I’ve ever asked them to help me out to pack weekly, but they just do help out every Sunday! God knows the desires of my heart and He answered my prayers! Like how I’ve always emphasis “U are not alone!”… NOW WE ARE A GANG!!

God carried me through all the tough times, and reminded me time and time again that I’m never alone. You’ll never know when God wants to use you… most of the time... It’s when you least expect it!
