GRADUATION DAY!!!

For a normal student this is the day that he or she awaits for a very long period of time. This is the day that he looks forward to, after years of sleepless nights, plenty of homeworks and projects that he passed and money that he used in his studies finally these will come to an end.

The glorious day that a student awaits for. The day when he will come on stage to receive his diploma and commence a new chapter of his life where there is greater opportunities for him.

But as for us particularly I, I don't feel the same.

Last Saturday we received the confirmation message from our President that we will be included in the candidates of graduates in our school On April 2. My first reaction? Lots of questions lingered my mind and until now lingering in my mind.

Why?
Why do we have to receive the diploma at this very moment of time?
Do we deserve to come up on stage and wear the so called "toga"?
Why?

Up to this moment I cannot understand why.
I want to know the reason.
But the question is do I have the right to know why all of these things are happening?
Who am I anyway?
I am just a nobody so why am I asking for reasons.

I don't think we deserve to be graduated at this time.
A few days from now we will be coming up the stage and accepting our diplomas but i don't know if I will feel happy on that day.

Not yet now. Not yet now.

I want to cry out loud and beg our administrators to please hold it for a moment but just like I said I am a nobody.
What I have to do is to follow what is being commanded to us and go on with the flow.

We are nothing up to this time even we already spent two and half years here inside the compound studying.

They have taught us many things that are needed by a worker to be fully equipped.

But until now I don't know if those things are still in our hearts.
As for me, I feel so empty.

I want to shout and cry out loud over and over again because I know we don't deserve it yet.
I am so dismayed of why act so unbecoming...

Or should I say it is I alone who act so unbecoming.

We are the first batch of this course, sadly, I don't know if we can leave a good legacy to the next batch.

I pray and I only hope like what my companions do is to ask for God's mercy.

I understand that we should not in this place now but maybe God wants us to learn something.

And that thing we should know, as a worker, and accept wholeheartedly God's will...

EVANGELICAL MINISTRY THE UNPROFITABLE SERVANTS

Year 2006, our preachers had made known to the brethren that they are offering a course open for members workers who are three years and above in the Church.
Months passed, aspiring workers from different divisions have inquired and took the examinations.
August 7 of the same year, 22 students have attended the first day of the Evangelical Ministry Class.
Some are professionals, some are college graduates and some are high school graduates but with God's help all of them can speak and striving to speak English.
On their first semester, they were taught about different subjects such as Sign Language, Psychology, Medical Aid, Defensive Tactics, Law, Speech, Music and Personality Development.
December 15 is the last day of the first semester and all of them had passed. By January 2007, they started their second semester with ten subjects including major Bible Research and Inter Religious Studies.
And now with God's help, all of them are still fulfilling their duties as students of Evangelical Ministry Class.
