in 2009, the percussion ministry started out with just less than 10 members. today the percussion hub has brought in many new and non-christians from the different walks in life. a year has passed, and look at that significant increase in the attendance! it's not the end yet, its just the beginning of the many great things that are yet to come! indeed, some left, some became stagnant, some were inspired, some didn't bothered, even so, it really goes to show that God never fails when we trust Him. :) after easter's performance, i believed that these young members' lives are really touched by the love of our God, and will continue to hang on to their faith on God. great job and awesome performance people. ;)
wait wait, what about the senior members ? where have they gone ? are they going to perform anytime this year ? relax, God is in control.
firstly, elaine's debut performance last year was probably the last one too, but it was really great having her onboard with us during that period, especially when she had to paint her face! kok chye's currently still serving the national service and might be away for another year before coming back. adelene also stepped down from the ministry as she had to lead in many other areas in the church. it was really fun having the senior members around, but with new generation rising up, it's gonna get better and better.
i will definitely be back soon, together with marc and stan. this time, it ain't gonna be performing to glorify myself, but to perform for God as a form of worship. to be honest, whenever i perform, it was always for my own glory. i failed to understand the ultimate purpose of being in the ministry - using the sound of percussion to invite non-believers and inspire them to play music even though they suck. i didn't played for easter, when uncle ken asked me, i also didn't know how to answer that.
currently i am in the midst of choreographing next year's easter performance, i think it's gonna be another awesome performance!
the sound of resurrection. a name that i came up with, and proud of it. :)
like i said, this is not the end yet. it's just the beginning.
it's a ministry that consists of many young members, and it started out from nothing, to an inspiration, music that makes an impact and change lives in each of these members. personally, if only they were much more discipline...
now why do i say that ?
whenever wei qian shouts: "don't play your instruments", "quiet!", "gather closer", or "go to your respective positions and get ready", they don't listen. and wei qian must really repeat a lot of times before getting them to settle down. its okay to have fun and enjoy each others' presence, but also bearing in mind that being discipline also helps one to become mature and develop better spiritually level. so far, daniel is the most attentive and disciplined member in the ministry. unfortunately, he's leaving in august. ):
but then again, if Moses could handle thousands of Israelites, a group of 20 over members shouldn't be a problem. like i said, be discipline lo...
I WILL BE BACK.
