First of all, I would like to give thanks to our
Lord that I had graduated from the disciple red class. The disciple red class
took three semesters to finish. When I first came to join the Sunday service at
SMCGC, I found that this church was offering some courses that help students to
grow in their spiritual life. But that
time the disciple class in Chinese was full and only had English class
available. I have great interest to join
because I want to know more about the Bible. However, it might be difficult for
me to join this class because my English is not good. With the encouragement from
brothers and sisters in Christ, finally I made up my mind to join the class together
with my friend, Hui Hui as she was also interest in it.
When I first joined the class, I totally knew nobody
in the class except my friend, Hui Hui. Then, I just sat quietly and listened
to our facilitator instruction. At first, there were eleven students joined the
course. But in the end, only seven of us
managed to finish the course. Our class was scheduled at 1pm to 4pm every
Sunday. So basically on Sunday, I spent half of my day at the church. In our classes, we discussed the topic
together with the guidance of our facilitators. Some of my classmates do not
hesitate to ask questions they were curious of, and I was the quiet and shy
member in the class. After several
lessons, the relationships between each member of the disciple class became
closer. We shared our experiences and
stories, and had joined short-term mission trip to longhouses and had fun
together. Next, I would like to thank
Ms. Fidella and Ms. Irene for their guidance throughout this course.
Sometimes, we may not understand the meaning of God’s
Word and His purposes. But God said, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and
lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he
will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) Through this disciple class, my Bible knowledge
has increased and my relationship with God is stronger than before. I also
understand better the differences between the Old and New Testament. By reading
the Word of God, I have learned to rely on Him more and my time management has
improved as well. I was able to strike a
balance between my school work and my Bible reading and preparation plus
activities at the church.
Last but not least, I am glad that I have the
opportunity to join this great course and I encourage you to join as well. Although
it may take up a lot of time on preparing and studying the Bible, but the time
spend is worth it and you will experience lots of different things in your
journey. The may think that you can’t do it, but Jesus said, “With man this is
impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26) Ask, seek and knock from Him, you will
experience how God work miracles and lead you in your life that he had designed
for you. Hence, give yourself a chance to
get closer with God.
