The Guys

So we finally got the guys together for our inaugural guys ministry meeting. The posse included Joesph, David Goh, Chris, Corn, Kenneth, Justin, Joel and I. Its been a long time in the making and truly last night was a great experience.

We went to West Coast Park to the little outcrop in front of the yacht club and found a corner to just crash. Since I had a spare disposable bbq pit, we brought along some food and marshmallows and had a mini roast. Was a nice tight affair gathered round the smokeless fire, just bonding and sharing.

It was a time of casting the vision - that the guys in RAGE would rise up to be godly men, starting with the bunch of us. Thereafter we just spent time seeking God for His direction, guidance and wisdom and we prayed and worshiped as the Spirit led. Truly this level of fellowship among guys is unprecedented in all my years and it was a moment to savor.

Initially i was apprehensive that we would have too much time on our hands and that we'd just not click and be able to connect. I couldnt have been more wrong. Even on the way to West Coast in the van, the guys were already into it and it even gave Joel a good vibe about the night. Through the night as we ate and shared, the overarching thing that surfaced was that how most of them had longed for this sort for avenue for the guys to really connect, support and grow together. It was encouraging to know that God had primed our hearts to be ready for this.

So we've committed to having this group over the next 1 year, meeting on a monthly basis (much more frequent than i anticipated ahaha in a good way tho!) with the aim of being most vulnerable to one another and to intentionally love and connect with the younger guys within our circle of influence. So theres much to look forward to and we covet your prayers that though the course of our journey together that God will use us jars of clay for His glory and to the edification and strengthening of our ministry.
