Extraordinarily ordinary

21st Birthdays are special. Becoming 21 signifies the entry into adulthood. It impresses that one is old enough to be resposible for his own life. To take charge, to take lead, to follow one's dreams. My spiritual son, Jonathan Tay, turned 21 on May 6. He and his twin brother, David, celebrated this by holding a special concert to celebrate the goodness of God in their lives. As their way of giving back to the coummunity, a special offering was collected during the performance and altogether, $3,921.30 will go towards funding the work at TOUCH Youth Services, a service group under TOUCH Community Service.

The concert was simply brilliant. The fact that the two young men are musically talented is a given. What touches my heart is that they choose to glorify God with their God-given talents. We need more youths to rise up and use their God-given talents for the purpose of His kingdom. For FCBC Youthnet, this is the year of extraordinary possibilities. By planning and organising the whole concert, the two of them showed us how to dream big and glorify God. This has got me excited. Pastor Seng Lee challenged me to hold an evangelistic event at the same scale or bigger. I declare it will be done before the end of next year. If you are dreaming the same as me, you are most welcomed to come on board. Better still, go dream your own harvest event to execute. I dare you to.

I have put together a 2-part photo slide show of the concert. The backing tracks for the photo slideshow were 2 of the songs sung by Jon and David during the concert itself. They dedicated those 2 songs to their mother and father. Sweeter than a sugar-coated caramel toffee. Watch and listen at your own expense. :) Part 1 | Part 2
