The Colours of Our Passion.
W380's dreams alive!
people have come..
both the imperfect and the strong..
but we proved one thing..
the world is totally wrong..
who said we cannot be OUTSTANDING..
for our God made us, PROCLAIMING..
"we are the HEAD and not the tail..
ABOVE and not beneath..."
who can be against us..
when He is for us?
ha!we can indeed be the BEST that we can be!
YES and AMEN!
we bring hope to the hopeless, light to the darkness, peace to the restless, love to the neglected; God to the world...
we are STRONG..we SURRENDER..we SHINE!

about:
My Journey to Servanthood.
hey guys..
i just want to pen down the journey of W380..
in particular my journey as a cgl..
i think through this testimony..
you can identify God's goodness..
power, love and faithfulness..
i will not be here without Him..
it all started in a cell group that pastor yock kiang led..in a small room at daniel's (some of you would know) house..sarah was just primary 6 then..when she got the vision and passion to become a cgl..years passed..and she fell, drew away from God..but ultimately picked herself up again..indeed, God never looks at our failures..but at our faith:)
she started with a cell group of 7 people..with about 13 people for service..the meetings were tough to breakthrough..the atmosphere often seem dry..and it became very tiring for her..but she never gave up and continued to run the race..and there..little breakthroughs started to happen:)people started to come..numbers started to rise..sarah led as hard as she could..
but little did she know..she was just using her own power and might..
the first revival was with people of different kinds..the ones she rmbs were korean girls, and marsling secondary guys..they were difficult to handle..but she just continued on..again she forgot WHO should the cell group be built upon..
months passed and things started to change..helpers rose and some fell..over a weekend she rmbs..a total of 7 people decided to leave and went back into the world..it left her discouraged and sometimes angry with God.."why must this happen to me...what went wrong...maybe its because i am just a bad leader..."
however, sarah never gave up..she continued to toil and led her people..but by this time..her mind was warped with thoughts of defeat..she never felt she was good..and never thought she can be..she just served..not with an attitude of victory..she barely scraped by every single sunday..she had no drive, no calling..she just wanted to serve her holy obligation..but not with passion and revelation..
once again..more people trampled upon her..hurts and wounds were cut deeper on december 2007..she cried and she wanted to give it all up..she says "whats the point..i don't deserve this.."
then, she realized..it has been all about HER..and not HIM nor THEY..
God showed her faces..people of distress..they were torn and broken..longing for hope and love..and God asked her "what do you have in your hands.." and all she could render was just one word, "nothing..." she whispered..then God asked again.."what do I have in MY hands.." and then a sudden light came on.."everything..."
she saw w380..each in their distinctive faces..and saw her 12 yrold self longing to be a leader of many..then she realized and wept.."whatever w380 is..and whoever i have..whatever it will become..and whoever that will come..are MIRACLES..God is fulfilling His word..."
who am i..
i am a child of God..
who am i..
i am a christian..
who am i..
i am a leader of lives that Jesus died for..
no, who am i?
i am a servant.
and once she changed her mindset..and embraced faith and not fear..hope and not defeat..courage instead of discouragement..humility and not pride..servanthood THEN leadership..
w380 is where it is today..
about 14 for cell group and 22 for service..
impacting close to 32 people every week!
Throughout my journey..many faces have come..
And many have faded away..
But i never gave up..though i really wanted to..
i LIFTED my eyes..though looking down was more suitable..
i surrendered..though it was painful..
tough times came..and tough times have gone..
i survived and became stronger…
i let go..and let GOD:)
so guys..i am not perfect and i make terrible mistakes..i had bad failures..and you will have too..
but don't forget your vision..and don't forget the GOD of your vision..
run and never look back..
love like you have never been hurt before..
dance like you have never been laughed at..
fight like you have never lost a war!
and we never will..
cos He has given us the victory:)
"i am nothing Lord without Your grace..
You were there to lift me when i failed..
i surrender all.."
p.s.: a big thanks to all of you who have fought through with me during my road to self-discovery..or more appropriately..God-discovery..you know who you are..forevermore..sarah loves you all:)
