Just The Wei I Am

"This will go down in church history as the prayer meeting with the blackout. And you can say you were there!" -Ps Jeff

Church prayer meeting tonight (fri) at Touch Coummunity Theatre in Bukit Merah. Going there was so exciting, especially when I reached Red Hill and found the bus-stop full of people from church, from various groups - the youth, the young adults, the Indonesians. Yup, besides Church Camp, this must be one of those rare times the entire church gathers in the same place at the same time. That's why we couldn't go to Nexus, I suppose.

We were having a great time worshipping God together, when suddenly Pzzzt! the lights, the music, the projector, everything! went off.... everything, except the cordless mics.

Not surprisingly, everyone went on singing and worshipping and praying, unfazed by the blackout. This happened when I was in Hope Miri, Sarawak, and they went on singing too. Such are the people of God - it was never about the music. The music is part of the worship, just like the people's voices. The drummer stood up to sing.

Somehow, the cordless mics survived the blackout, and Ps Jeff, Christie and Michael could continue to lead us in praying specifically. I suppose if there were no mics and nobody could lead, we would have just carried on worshipping and praying anyway, but God is the Lord of the blackout. Later Christie told everyone that in their pre-prayer meet prayer meet, God had told her the Holy Spirit would interrupt our prayer meet. And so He did - He gave us an unforgetable experience that touched many.. and He left just enough mics on for the leaders to lead.

God is so cool!
