Christmas eves (Part 3)
Preacher Christmas Eve
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t Christmas Eve but it was part of NUS science fac Campus Crusade for Christ Christmas outreach. We put up a musical ‘Pepper or Salt?”. And I was the preacher that evening. It was 1990. There slightly more than 200 people and 2 persons made he decision for Christ. And one of them told me he was moved to tear. Glory to God. I was so nervous!! My cell group leader, See Kheng, was very nice. She rushed from her workplace to give me the support.
Carolling Christmas Eve
Those were the days that we practiced the carols and went to houses to sing. One year, my youth visited the Teen Challenge Youth Hostel. Once, my young adult ministry ended with a overnight at NTU staff chalet and I had the chance to do a small part in presenting the Gospel.
Outreach Christmas Eve
When I teaching in Sunday School, it was almost traditional that I would organise my youth for Christmas outreach/party. The youth would invited their friends for fun, food and gospel. That's where Kelvin came to one of my youth group and subsequently joined them. Thank God.
The earliest Christmas Eve
Then, my parents invited the carolers to come. One of them would dressed up as Santa Claus. He was then a young man, now in his 40s. Time flies! It was fun but stayed up late for them to come.
The darkest Christmas eve
That was when my mother was in hospital.
All in all, Christ was there and here. And that’s the peace and joy of all Christmas Eves.
