Light in the Dark

Today we had our first subgroup carecell meeting. I was asked by dear Joanna to conduct New Calling chapter 4 on Salt and Light for subgroup 1 and John and Peter conducted another subgroup. We did Gel where Peter volunteered to be the first to light up his candle (yea we all brought some sort of candle). We all then went to a dark corner, and then Peter shared on how he felt being the only one with the light. Each of us then also shared on our feelings being in the dark. We then proceeded to get all our candles lighted up and split into our subgroups for the sharing from New Calling.

The guys decided to stay back in the house, while us girls headed to the nearby park. It just rained so it was quite wet, nevertheless we found ourselves a spot and just sat on the ground, and started our discussions. We talked and shared on Jesus calling us to be salt and light and what it means to our life. Then we challenged each other to do a CareAct for the week to our oikoses, something that causes our oikos to really notice the act of caring. We then prayed and headed back to check on the guys.

It was fun and different, and we really look forward to more discussions and applications of the Word of God.
