Last of the photos from the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Centre … I have others but feel I’d be doubling up in posting them… or boring seeing they’re environmental shots, doorways, windows, old architecture, thing I like but don’t necessarily want to add.

I love the flame pics at the church!

Next up is Raccoon City environment images—I’m taking my time in RC, on my way to the RPD… just at that level, where I’ve gotten the second piece of the detonator.. just need to go down lift.

RHCCC Young Adults Retreat

So last year (2011) there were two retreats, one for the young adult fellowship, formerly known as Kainos, in March. Later in the summer, there was a university retreat. Each retreat had about 40 people, and although each retreat had a different theme, both were a great experience and helped me grow in my walk with God.

The retreat this past weekend was MASSIVE. Pastors Ho-Ming and Shu Ling opened the entire young adult ministry which included the CLG's and the returning university students.  By the looks of it, there were more returning uni students than those who are part of a CLG.  Nonetheless, it was a really great retreat. Although it was definitely difficult to get to know everyone, the way God spoke to me this weekend was a BIG impact. It's never boring when I'm being reminded of the foundations of my faith and where the big challenges lie as a Christian.  Pastor Daevid Yoon was an amazing speaker, it was a great blessing to have him with us at Redemmer's University College.

I've never felt the joy of serving the Lord this way during the weekend.  Leading worship with my bros in Christ - Hanjin, Trever, Emmanuel and Aaron - was amazing, all of them being so musically proficient.  Although this team was not the one Hanjin hoped for, it's only through God's grace we're still able to lead the rest of the retreat into giving God our praises to Him.

My difficulty during this retreat was the intimidation of leading a small group.  I offered to be a small group leader, but it was before I found out the size of the groups.  However, I thought my group had really great discussions, God bless my brothers and sisters for such open hearts for God.

But not the best thing. Pastor Daevid Yoon from NY, our guest speaker.  With such a firing passion for God it's amazing.  The four sessions we went through with him is just... there are no words to describe it.  The messages God brought through Pastor Daevid hit me hard, especially the Saturday evening session.  To put all my faith and hope in Him is all I need, all I SHOULD need.  I ended up breaking down in tears during my prayer after that session, knowing full well it was God's grace and conviction of my sins.

It was a great retreat.  'Nuff said.  When I got back home, it felt like I was back in reality.  Which means my struggles of job searching, my volunteer work, and a concert tomorrow.  But as Pastor Daevid said... we put our hopes and faith on nothing but GOD. "We live by faith, not by sight" (2 Cor. 5:7).  And as the chorus of "Healer" says... Jesus, you're all I need.  As much as being of this world is necessary to live out as a child God, it doesn't omit the fact that I, along with my brothers and sisters in Christ, will be an alien and stranger in reality.
