This morning after i met my helpers.. i remembered at the end of it i was praying for fruitfulness and faithfulness in the section. Guess what.. after that there were 4 recruitments and 2 trials..think the most ever that came in within one recruitment session. during worship in svc, felt God telling me.."It was because you prayed that prayer.." See.. prayer works! though it was just a general and short word.

just to share more abt my journey in usher ministry...
When i first joined usher ministry i was really excited, always trying to avail myself though it is often hard work and sweat (esp support duties n recycling in drive-thru area haha).. But somehow i was sure in my heart that this is where i want to stay and grow in the long term. Actually anyone can be an usher cos it is not such a technical ministry like sound etc.. just learn people skills. Anyway so til now as a TL.. thinking abt my next step in doing more.. i had a revelation of why i am here doing the things i am doing:
During GOTP Lesson 2 in SOT (24/05/07) , Bobby was going thru the 7 pcs of furniture in the tabernacle and what they represent. He wanted us to ask God what our gift is:

1. Brazen Altar -- evangelist, salvation
2. Laver -- pastor, dedication and consecration of water baptism
3. Table of Showbread -- teacher, showing Jesus as bread of life
4. Golden Lampstand -- anointing of God, moving in signs and wonders
5. Altar of Incense -- prayer and intercession
6. Ark of Covenant -- lead ppl within the veil
7. Mercy Seat -- minister the mercy of God

When he came to the last point, i just felt the presence of God came upon me (tat's usually how i know it's God speaking to me), that this is my gift out of the 7 things in this list: showing mercy of God. This explains why i am in this ministry (of helps and mercy) and double confirms my calling in my ministry.. So.. which is your gift? =) For God to know, for you to find out.
