"How's your walk with God? Are you guys prepared for the spiritual battle?" - James is reminding us in his email.
We're about 2-3 weeks away from our mission trip. Are we all geared and in shape for this mission?
Well whatever state we are in, right this instant, always keep in mind God is always on our side
Romans 8
v. 31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
v. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, either the present nor the future, nor any powers,
v. 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Last week was another interesting week for us
We started practicing our dramas and managed to cover TWO - The Statue and The Bench
They're very simple to learn, simple to understand, silent dramas
The first was about a statue - rigid and stubborn.
Then along comes a friend who teaches the statue to run, dance and even offers ice-cream
But the statue still refuses to budge!
Finally the friend puts a Bible in the statue's hand and kneels down to pray for him.
Soon the statue comes to life and is intrigued by God's Words,
He alerts his friend who is praying diligently,
For now, the statue is free from the bounds of rigidity.
The second is about a kid who wants to find a friend and sits on a bench waiting for one, who would be willing to play with him.
Many different people walk to this bench - an artist, a reader and even a jogger
Neither of them interested to play with the young child
So the kid decides to do whatever it is that they are doing, but it's just not him (being playful) and soon they are irritated by his animated behavior and leave...
Their rejection crushes the kid's spirit
But, then comes along a friend....exactly like this kid.
They immediately clicked and enjoyed each others' company
Each of these drama may mean different things to different people - up to one's interpretation
So A-team troopers, do try to think whether there is any 'Story of Your Life' that can be connected to the dramas. They'll be good testimonies during our time in the Philippines.
hmmm I should have taken videos and pictures of us practicing
Next week then... we'll be practicing even more in D-Way's house on Sunday at 2-4pm
Those who haven't gave your salvation testimonies, please bring them this week ya!
See you guys then! Can't wait to see May acting again!
