Been thinking about what Alan shared in D242 about the Uni district vision.. spoke quite a lot to me.. Today Yufen was sharing to the rest of the care group again about this.. think it is quite relevant to every single one of us.

Like what Matthew 5:13-16 says.. we are the salt and light of this world, and as Christians the onus is on us to become people that can make impact on our immediate sphere of influence. It's very true that after I've recieved Christ that a lot of the drive has gone out of me.. but that's not the way it should be yah?

Christianity is a life style that is supposed to maximise one's potential to the full - this is not just mere rhetoric, but it's a reality. God's love gives us the strength to become something more than we can normally be, to stretch our comfort zones and to live life to the fullest. It's quite sad that the leaders are the ones that are the salt and light, but the rest seem to be lagging behind.

As I was telling Sijia yesterday, can't afford to be slack as a Christian or as a person anymore.. in a few years time when I reach year 4, don't want the newbies who just come in to say "Oh, so that's what a year 4 Christian, a person who's been through the system, looks like."

Like what Jan said, for too long our vision has been only focused on God, the ministry and our immediate friends. It's time to look at the horizons and dream big dreams. The university ministry isn't supposed to produce weak willed flaccid followers - but mature adults, tried and tested, and poised to take on the working world..

It's time to let the past be bygones, and strain forward to what's ahead...
