strip away the flesh, take us higher

Hi fellow ushers!

These few months have been very exciting, usherin the people and seeing souls being planted in church.

Its a privilege to be an usher as you get to witness salvations. every week we share the joy of our Psts and leaders in church attendance.. "ah did we breakthrough? did we break 700??"
"How many chairs do we have to put this week?" Pure anxiety of the church attendance and not just heeding the instructions of the chief ushers.

Thinking about it, ushers have the privilege to count the number of people every week. We may not get the actual attendance but the rough gauge is first in our hands. Joy of breakin through new numbers weekly just excites me.

Week in week out, "hey i have not seen him before. heyhey who is she ah.. intro me leh!" Ushers at the white gate literally usher these new people into their destinies.
2 months after someone is planted in church, come to think of it, 2 months before it was the ushers who play a simple yet impactful role in the spiritual realm by just saying hi to them.

Man! What a great privilege to be an usher!

I remember Samantha foo shared with me before, even if you were to be a TL for life, be a great and dependable one! I'm saying even if you were to haha. The definition of great TL; a leader who does his or her job well, his/her leaders do not have to chase them for people work.. but instead they provide their own solutions to their problems, prempting every possible problem that may come their way. Definition of dependable; when your/any leader wants to find a leader, you will come to his/her mind.

And it applies to ministry as well. it is set in my heart, since im in it, why not give my best, just throw myself in. i may never be a chief/head usher, but i want to be a great and dependable usher!

I cannot share with you how excited i am everytime i see people rising up, people start to serve in church.. the joy of newly planted integration worshiping their hearts out.. but let me tell you something, you and i are part of all these. because that very moment that this new friend walks into our premises, this is where it all began. and it is not just new friends, but every single one of the people from new friends to the leaders. you dont know how powerful you guys are.. i've been down and discouraged before services. but the very first encouragement i received wasnt from my leaders, but it was the ushers. when they greeted me they seemed to have the "everything's gonna be alright" face. Ushers are the people who bring a smile to the people. Can you see how powerful you are..

we witness as ushers a church that is stucked at 500. we witness as ushers salvations and decisions. right now, we will witness as ushers how heart of God church will breakthrough and march forth to 1000.

Look at FIGHTERS cook!

Hi ushers!
Here are some photos Fighters took while preparing for the usher gathering!

Carlo only knows how to take photos.

This is the difference between a pro...

And a non-pro!

Jian Hong thinks he's some famous man who is chased by paparazzi all the time.

The following photos are SLACKERS!!! (Notice that you don't see my photo.)

After examining Yilin's beautiful table, Zhe Kuan is satisfied.

And decides to contribute by cutting fried eggs.

This person is the star of the day, our professional cook.. Lek Fong!

Love,

Hi!

Hi, ushers!
LY is here to make this blog alive! Haha. This blog seems to be left for ... (I didn't count how long it has been left alone). Nadine invited me to blog in this blog. So nice to blog here! :)

I'm glad to join this ministry and love to be in this ministry. Usher ministry is the best ministry where I can find the way to go and learn about discipleship. I'm currently in Fighters team. I love this team! :D

From my heart, I can say that this is the best ministry 'cause people from usher ministry can change a lot in their characters and how to control our manners. "IT'S ALL ABOUT DISCIPLESHIP!". For example, there're a lot people from usher ministry who have grown up to become leaders in church not only team leaders but also connect group leaders. One big example is ROY who was Head of Usher Ministry, now is a zone supervisor. I'm hoping to grow stronger to become leaders like them. TRY MY BEST!

From this ministry, I can learn a lot. Last weekend, on Sunday, I was ushering with Spartans to help out. It's great to experience ushering once in other team. I have learnt new things. I was impressed by Jin Hwee. On that day, as I think, she was on the second duty. (If Jin Hwee or any one in Spartans reading this blog, please correct for me. I'm not sure the 2nd or 3rd).

WAHHHHHHHH, she is POWERFUL, man! She's really hungry to learn and hungry to serve! She is so open and willing. WILLINGNESS! I'm so impressed that I want to praise her here. From her, I can know how to improve myself. Now I can learn how to grow to another higher level in serving God and people! Haha. SEE ME CHANGE!

I have been in church for 5 months, in Usher ministry for 4 months. I find that our ministry has been accelerating to be more professional and impressive to the people. We're growing BIGGER!

I love Usher ministry!

Love,
LY.
