It was a Monday, on 13th Apr 09 when I first stepped into the new environment. "Hi.. reporting for my 1st day.. is Gxxxx around?" That was my 1st conversation with the always smiley, friendly Admin colleague, as my other 2 guy colleagues looked on with a grin. Never did I expect that its gonna be a place that would bring so much blessings, fun & surprises!! Here is where my unexpectedly adventure journey begins....
I met my boss. Went through the assigned job roles and responsibilites. Introduced to other colleagues. I felt a warmth welcome. It was somehow, quite differenet from the corporate world. I settled in very quickly and begin to know the fun bunch better. Most of them are about 4- 7 years younger than me, fervant Christians serving in different ministries in their own churches. But we share a common passion - To Impact the Lives of people in Singapore by providing CARE and sharing LOVE.
In his new book - Unexpected Adventure, Lee Strobel said that a "Christian," by definition, is a follower of Christ, the one who came "to seek and to save what was lost" (Luke 9:10) and who then commissioned us to follow his example and "go and make disciples" Matt 28:19). We were redeemed, in part, for the purpose of reaching others for Christ. We will never be complete in our experience with God untill we allow him to use us to spread his message to others.
"Our role is to be To Be Ready and Willing - Because God is always Able".
Work can be a mandate if we missed out the purpose and opportunities that God provide along the way. Work can really be a Fun ride of roller coaster, if we know we are doing it to fulfill the great commission - allowing God to use us as He will!
A sneak glimpse into my work, fun colleagues, recent company retreat & outings!!=)
