Christ Sets us free!





Today in chapel, a drama team from our local Chinese church came and performed. The emphasis was that victory over sin is by faith and faith alone in Jesus Christ our Lord. The fall of man has been passed down from Adam to each of us. Sin is in us, and throughout the bible, we find that God is our deliverer. Thankfully, Jesus Christ has provided deliverance from the power of sin through the work of the cross. The performance really captivated everybody in the hall. Inspiring the mind and moving the spirit, I felt like God really strike through to the heart of what it means to be in bondage of sin and the power of Christ that sets us free.

Leadership Camp








For this year’s leadership camp I composed a series of interactive activities and hands-on challenges that generally focused on collaborative teamwork, leadership, empathy and diversity that will develop the students' critical thinking, problem-solving skills and communication. They also got to work on group projects that allowed them to learn valuable life skills. This camp gave our students the chance to immerse themselves in nature, and get away from the gadgets and screens that often occupy them. We are really excited about our new leaders for this year.

Celebrating 14 years and 7 years of friendship!






                                           


                                                                    
                                                                       Charmaine!


                                      
                                                 

On Saturday I was reminded of a sweet and affectionate 6 year old girl who ran up to me and gave me a big hug on my second day at Community Hope School. Well...that girl is no longer 6 but turned 14 on Saturday, still sweet, affectionate and really polite. I never thought we’d become such good friends. God has His ways of bringing people together and I am so thankful that He did. After a long journey of investing, teachings and different faith-based exposure Charmaine finally came to faith 2 years ago and her genuine faith has been a great example and encouragement to me and her peers.Through our experience, she taught me to be more patient, more loving and much more appreciative of the little things in life. She taught me the value of being there for people, to stay connected and to never take them for granted.
With her, I have these constant reminders of why I am blessed. Constant reminders that turns
(1Thessalonians 2:8) into purpose, purpose into passion, and passion into change. She is just not my student...she is family!

 (1Thessalonians 2:8...We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well...)

 That is how beloved she have become to me.
