Helloha all ushers !

I first joined usher in around November 2006 ! It was when my leader that time asked me which ministry i want to join and after hearing all about the ministries,something just told me to join usher though i know i must arrange chair and everything and i'm a lazy person but i knew it was God. I went through Jian Ming's usher training and through that i realise usher is not just a simple ministry to serve man ! And all of us must catch the heart behind ushering people into their destiny ! My chief usher then,Pei Shan,said i looked fierce and my hair then was blonde ! That sums up the reason i seldom do glassdoor over at FTMS house and so i was placed in between sections and to usher people into their seats. All i know was to greet them and nothing else,and the courage to approach the congregation wasn't there yet. But as time goes by,and observing the section leaders and chief ushers doing things/ushering,i began to catch it,and slowly beginning to approach the people,go up to them bodly !

The first incident/experiences was during the desire meeting,i actually forgot all about it ! And i know it's all about the desire ! That afternoon,when i was with my cg outside the lift at FTMS house,Jian Ming walked out of the lift and asked me why didn't i go the desire meeting and all i could reply was : i forgot . And Jian Ming just said orhokaylo. And that left me thinking for the whole day : Whr's my desire ?
And soon,i begin to catch the heart again,and turned up for the next desire meeting which was very early in the morning and we reached church even before it's opened ! Through this incident,i understood what's being faithful in the little things.
Another experiences was when i went through a training to catch ppl falling under the prescence of God,the first thing which went into my mind was,i'm so skinny,why am in this training,but how many of your know that the leaders always give their ppl chances ? Hahaha,so we went through the training and were all ready for ministry on the last day of vbs,and through that day,i caught God's ppl touched by Him,and i was actually very afraid and for fear i can't catch them properly,my heart trembles like mad but soon as the peace of God flows in,i felt God's strength in me and began doing his great work and that day i went up to another level. I may be small in size but still able to do it !
The last experiences was during the Ignite conf'08,every ushers were on duty for at least two days,and for me,the same too,haha. So it was scary ushering sucha great crowd in our church for the first time and we had to set up the chairs on day before it and it was everyone's first time,things were messy everything but the chief ushers never fail to solve it. And i was asked to do usher for the third day of ignite,and i know the more number of crews,the more effiecient we can run the service,i was actually tired ushering for two days already and having to wake up early in the morning,i hesistated. But i heard God's voice telling me to give my best and so i turned up for usher on the last day of ignite ! Moreover,i had to work the nightshift aft ignite that day till the next morning,i decided to give in my best ! And i got the chance to hold the walkie that day for the first session which was a great experience,all chief ushers were out and all the SLs,it was great working with them and through the ignite conf,i got the chance to be the runner of cherie and she told me to do alot of things,settling this and that and making sure of everything,settling the ppl down and she taught me how to control the crowd and not let the crowd control me and indeed i've learnt it ! And i believed that through the whole ignite conf,i went up to another level,though i was tired aft everything but the joy of the Lord never fails to come (:

After ushering for a year plus,i looked back and see how much i've grown in ushers and the things i learnt in usher was abundant,ive got no problems talking to people now,approaching them,talking to strangers. What made me stayed on at first was because of friends but soon after,i see the usher crews so passionate serving God,never fail to give their best ( 200 % ) each services and their faithfulness,i stayed on and continue serving in usher ministry. We may be tired at times,the need to wake up early for ushers, and staying back and the need to be on time,mints and deo and prayup texts,all the lil faithful things,brings out a whole new character in you,now i got no problems reaching on time for usher duties and i admit that i always have problems to be on time for duties ! Usher minitry also brought us closer with one another,got to know more ppl in church other than our cg and zone,and to work as a team,we must really be bonded tgt ! We must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ !

At the end of 2008,i see myself as a SL and not just a normal SL but a SL operating at a chief usher level,giving my best and reproducing SLs,and spread the joy of serving God,and the ppl,bring them to their destiny,letting them catch the heart behind what we're doing as usher ministry grow and going through breakthroughs after breakthroughs !

Where do you want to be when hoGc go pass 1000/3000 ? Let's do it,usher ministry 2.0 ! (:
Be faithful !
