21st September

One week after D.I.VINE camp, instead of gathering together to have a normal DI Encounter we instead went out to the region of Jurong East to spread some jam! (literally). So we spent some time in Honor Room writing up the cards and preparing the massive amount of jam bottles. I chose to write cause well I prefer writing and I don't think I can tie ribbons that well.

As always, every time we move out to impact communities I find myself learning and growing alot. Apparently I don't have a problem with approaching strangers and talking with them now anymore thanks to the experience I got from the many door to door visits WAC and DI have organized. It's always nice to feel Spirit led and just let God take control. Lots of interesting things to note on that day like how some people actually don't want free jam and how some people don't celebrate Christmas.

I met my BMT buddy together with his friends and was surprised that we recognized each other especially when we grew our hair back. They wanted to give back the jams they got because they don't eat bread and jam and felt that it would be a waste for the jams to be given to them.

Justin and Jeremy were quite sad because they had a hard time trying to approach people in which they would be really quick to say no and refuse before even knowing what we are trying to do. Perhaps they are tall and scary looking? Justin said I have a higher chance heh(probably only one advantage of being short huh). One feedback we had was that it would have been a better idea to group guys and girls together. Through observation, it seems that girls have it better when it comes to doing this type of stuff.

All in all we distributed 540 bottles of jam and blessings in the Jurong East region. Seeds have been planted in a way and here's hoping that from there it would grow. Hope there's more of such movements to come heh.

Had the annual Christmas service today. Didn't quite like the skit though. It was preaching more of the gospel of prosperity I guess. (To quote: Christmas is the season of miracles) On a side note, woohoo Mr Mugen came to the service!
