It was the 2nd semester
of 2013 and I have just started my university life at Miri Curtin. I also joined
SMCGC not too long and I remembered one Sunday it was Ms. Fidella who made an
announcement about the English Disciple Course. I can barely remember finding Ms. Fidella
after the service with my friend, Celyne and asking if we could join the
disciple course. The reason I was so
interested and registered immediately was because through the course I could
learn more about the Bible. Also, in my
mother church, the Disciple Course was mostly for the adults to join. So I am
glad that to be given the opportunity to join in SMCGC.
When the class started, I was very
quiet and shy. For those who know me
well will know that, that was not my real character. The reason I was like that
is because the other classmates are older than me and I was not familiar with them.
It was not until the second semester of
the Disciple class, that I began to reveal playful and “annoying” nature of
mine. Besides that, due to my poor English, it’s a little bit difficult for me
to learn. However, thanks to Ms Fidella, Irene, and other students for helping
me patiently, so that I could learn it smoothly.
In this disciple course, we need to
study the Bible every day, and every Sunday we need to take 2 and half hours to
go to church and discuss about the Bible together with our classmates and
facilitators. Other than that, we also went
to a mission trip to share the gospel. This time we went to Rumah Balingian
with GMC uncles and aunties. All of the things
we did in disciple course are also the condition of a disciple. Disciples need
to study and understand God’s Words, fellowship with others, and most important
is to share the gospel, be a living testimony and learn to love others.
In this 3 semester-long course, I
learned a lot. I also became more aware of the idea of God and the idea of human
nature. Human are very weak, and very forgetful, often forget how God has helped
and led us, often sinned against other people, and offended God. But God still
loves us, never give up on us, and has not forgotten the promises given. I also
understand more of the Old and New Testament. It’s not only a history of Israelites; it’s
also a guide for our life.
This disciple class had become an
important part of my university life that I will never forget because I have learned
a lot and also met awesome friends.
