I learned about God’s love and marvelous gift today. I hope people can come to church to learn about God. LINA TAN, AGE 9
Nine-year-old Hillary Wee was glad for the opportunity to express her love for God this way: “I learned many dance styles which has prepared me for this Praise Team opportunity. I was very encouraged to see the other children following me in praising God!” Another Praise Team member, Evan Lee (age 11) shared that this experience allowed him to bond with his younger sister, Eriel (age 8) as they practiced daily for the event. Through the practices, he also learned about discipline and gained confidence from serving.
We thank God that Marvelous Chr1stmas was an opportunity where 172 children made decisions for Christ! As our children continue to put Jesus 1st in their lives, we believe that they will bring more oikos to encounter Jesus!
“Leading was an awesome experience!” shared Sabella Kwan (age 9). “Before I went on stage I was nervous. As soon as I began praising God, the fear was replaced by joy! During the second service, I knew that God was with me and that I need not be afraid!” In the spirit of gift-giving, the children decorated cards that will be given to future FTVs – a colorful reminder that the FTV is fearfully and wonderfully made by God.
