As part of the Recess Revo movement, our very own Sam Y Lo gave another, another testimony! Here here here, check it out!
Hey people! :)
Today was the official teachers' day celebration because the exams were over and after praying last week, we felt God pushing us to do something for the celebration!
So God planted in the ideas and we decided to print out bookmarks and order some cupcakes(which eventually turned out as Muffins HAHA) and distribute them to ALL our teachers!
And trully, God has been with us the whole time! :)
Me and Josh at first had some difficulty gathering people to help out but, man, God works in wonder-est of ways!
Throughout the week, we just managed to share what God had put in our hearts with some friends and WOW the volunteers just flooded in!
From a mere number of 5 or 6, on the Thursday when we were cutting the printed bookmarks and tying the ribbons we had 13 people in total helping out! And 3 of them were NOT CHRISTIANS! Seeds were sown as they understood and wanted to be a part of what we were doing! We had a good time preparing and we cut out and made ready all 130 bookmarks in less than two hours! All glory to God! The design of the bookmark is posted with this story, and on the behind we wrote a note : 'From the CF of SMI with <3, God Bless! :) ' Believe it spoke volumes!
Credits to Josh who ran around town the night before searching for places to print the bookmarks but found non because everything was SO Expensive. By faith he went home with the glossy paper he bought and printer it with his printer! It came out AWESOME! Praise the Lord! He even went to make sure the cupcakes were halal in mind of #someoftheteachersthatwouldmindifitsnothalal ! HAHA.
So we gathered at around 7 for our usual morning prayer and 12 people turned up to help distribute the stuffs to the teachers! We prayed and then briefed everyone and made sure that everyone put on a bright smile! :)) We divided into 6 different pairs, and got our instructions where to give out and the other details. After another round of briefing, we went on to pray with each of our partners to grant us boldness and words of encouragement for our teachers.
After prayer, we waited in the hall til the time when they would open the assembly to people who wanted to give gifts to their teachers.
To our surprise, only the Prefectorial Board was the only people giving out Gifts to teachers!
We move out and our gifts really plastered smiles on the teachers faces! It was scary at first for most of us, but after their response we grew more confident and the words to encourage each teacher just flowed! After distributing during assembly, me and Josh went to scout the school for the remaining teachers who might have purposely want
to skip the 'boring' teacher's day celebration.
Sure enough we found some teachers in the staffroom working!
So we went up to each of them giving them a bookmark and a muffin each and we came to this particular teacher who was watching us when we offered to clean the whole lowerform6 block with some other guys and girls during the first week of orientation.
And we just extended warm smiles and wished her Happy Teacher's Day! And before she even looked at what we were giving, she said, thanks, You guys are from the Christian Fellowship right? And we were stunned for the moment because she was from the Majority race and that our CF was pretty much a lil unknown! We said yes and she smile back and said Thank You. We were like WOW! We were glad that Jesus is getting recognition!
The both of us went on to the office, and since we had so much more muffins, we decided to bless the office staffs and the security guards! Their faces lit up when we offered the Muffins to them and they were even more happy when we told them it was Cheese Muffins! Haha.
We gathered together again, all pumped up and glad that what we had set out to do had been accomplish! At the end we prayed and Gave thanks to the Lord for without Him we couldn't have got everything done!
Most of the teachers were surprised and at the same time happy that we took the step to do something for them. My class teacher were all thanks when she stepped in after recess and we got comments from teachers like, 'why don't the other societies and bodies do stuffs like this? Thanks You guys' and 'Where did you get these muffins? Its super nice!'
We thank God for He is GOOD!
At the end of the day, All glory and praise to Our God who is Love! :)
