After months of preparation and hard work from all the committees, finally Musical Celebration Kuching has landed =) I mean, organized in Kuching on 29-31 July 2011 =) It was a great experience and great event with a touch of God.
During our preparation, event during the event many still questioning and asking about "Why they do this?" =) Perhaps if we don't understand the purpose and vision of it, than they wouldn't understand =) Even some write back, that don't follow the world event or be like the world, but be transform. Yes everyone, those question and comments is correct. And we don't blame or pointing finger to anyone who is right and wrong. But, all we know is if God is for us, who can stand against us! =) that is the best thing we ever know.
During the last day preparation, working together with Olive Garden church was when our invited team, Sidney and Team held the concert. We are so blessed by this team, through their Praise and Worship, and also their friendship =) those guys are really friendly and amazing!
To start all the stories, we form this committee from just a few members. Some suddenly pull out but as what we said to each other, God is with us. Than after several meeting, one by one offering them self to join and committed to the committee. We'd been struggling also with funding and finding the body or organization that can support us. After a few meeting and discussion, we finally a month before the event, a good brother and friend and also our very own adviser manage to form an Organization and to be our umbrella. =) we finally can move on with few works left.
We start from RM0 fund. But we keep on praying, do own collection and try to find some sponsor. We write letters to few churches, but we did manage to get feedback from all of them. We write to organization, but also no feedback. But we just relying on God, continue our fast and prayer despite of commitment to own local church and our own practices.
But when the even kick start on 29 July 2011, that very night is till remember; our friend Jezzy Dior as our Treasurer was calculating the money with the help of our friend Denny Chieng. I was at the back stage, coming down to floor and Sidney Mohede was singing Our God is Greater by Chris Tomlin. After finish calculating, Denny came to me and talk to me. He said, "come outside. Jezzy want to discuss with you" I said, what's up? How much is our money by tonite?" Denny than answered me, "RM17,000 plus" I was like, "Huh?" I walk straight meeting them outside the hall, and talk with them. Jezzy said, "Yes, it's true. RM17,000 not including tomorrow night and will the last night" I was so, Praise God and no other word can come out from my mouth, but in my heart was really excitement and jump unto the Lord. Than i walk in to the front stage meeting our adviser, Bro Yohanis and he was so surprise and happy too. He hug me and said to me, "Well done and Congrats" =) It was so amazing God we have. I stop and praise God, and the song is still Our God is Greater! Yes! It is and He is greater.
It is so remarkable event for us in Kuching. And we believe it that when God is with us, who can stop us =) Even until today, i can't stop thinking of God's goodness and God's work in us during the event.
Friends, sometime we can't see the small thing God did in our life. Sometime we only want to see God do the big and great thing in our life only. But, God work in many ways and great ways in our life =) I know, perhaps for us when God give us that RM17, 000 is big thing for the event, but without realizing the smallest thing God did among us is also there. Friendship among us, friendship built among us. From unknown person to very good and close friend. From never meet to always chat friend we have. That event the greatest thing God did to us..and most of all is unity among us from different churches and different background. But because of the Love and Grace of God, He made us as one body.
Hope this will encourage us and build our faith in Him! =)
