Back to SWEEP.

2weeks has pass, so it goes and the end of SWEEP 2007. Before all I would like to thank the people who supported me be it in financially or prayerfully. Also want to say thanks to FES and Shelter for making this program possible for people like me. Also not to forget the people in sweep! You will know who you are and I’m really blessed by having you guys in this program. Each and every one of you light up the place with who you are. (Esmond, Jia Hui, Liang, Adrian, Joy, Mark, Ye-Ling, Chee Kah, Florence, Helen, Wan Ling, Lydia and Su-Yen) without all of you I’m sure things will not be the same.

I was truly bless and thankful for being in this exposure program. I got to see things in a different way by looking thing as a whole by not looking at a narrow opening. I’ve learn that social work is part of a Christian life. Jesus spends most of His time in His ministry ministering to the hopeless, to the disable and so on.

In today’s society we Christians tend to spend too much time in church and neglect those who are in need out there. We focus too much on evangelism (not to say I don’t agree with evangelism) but there must be a balance to every thing we do. A lot of Christian including me can preach very well but can’t act out what they say.

Another thing that I’ve learned is that there are ample of opportunities to involve themselves in helping the society. Not only through NGOs but by just having to get a job in the government sector is a good start. The method to evangelise and witness to people around us is not the matter of carrying the bible in your hands but to also practice and do what it says.

Overall, I’m thankful that I’m in this SWEEP program. Many of us in the program thought that we will bless the community by just being there to help, but it turns out to be the other way. We in return being blessed more than we gave always. Thanks.
