Is this a difficult reality to transition? Not really! After my 8.3 years tenure in the Singles for Christ Abu Dhabi, finally it is time to bask in my new home called S.O.L.D. (the Servants of the Lord).
But first let me quickly take you back to my journey in SFC. It was on the 2nd of December 2009 when I received the most important, valuable Certificate in my life. A Certificate that can never be quantified by any amount that I earned after a 13-week, no-fee yet fulfilling Christian Life Program conducted by the Singles for Christ. A Certificate stamped and sealed by God ~ certifying me to be His ‘own’ and servant.
Life then was never tranquil as I expected. Joining a renewal community aimed to transform people’s lives does not offer absolute comfort. During my service life, I had so many falls, and though struggling, I have to stand up and walk my feet out, until one day I found myself kneeling before my God and convicted. Yes, I was convicted. I was transformed. I was not an exception to the community’s goal in bringing people closer to God. Simply, I did nothing, I just heeded the call.
Going further, from being a mere member, I became a pastor and friends to many members, head of a chapter-family, enemy of others (who cannot dance in my tune of headship and correction), faithful servant of God, of others and of the Church, worship leader, mission volunteer, team head of numerous activities, and the list is endless. These experiences opened my 0.01% of being holy that, once in my life, have touched many lives. Overall, my SFC sojourn is exponentially fulfilling, overwhelming and blessed.
It may be difficult for others to let go of SFC, not for me because I have left a mark that will be forever imprinted in the hearts of many. This statement made me at ease to move, and always believing on what Khalil Gibran said “let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between your souls”.
With this, I am now ready to move on to the next chapter of my service life. Last February 9, 2018, a new home welcomed me. The red carpet was laid before me when the CFC Servants of the Lord Abu Dhabi started its Christian Life Program, and I was once again a participant. Joyfully attending week by week, I garnered another equally important Certificate – again stamped and sealed by God – on April 20, 2018 certifying me this time to be “S.O.L.D. out” for God, for others, and for service.
I am now ready to serve and be all out for God. I am now ready to take on the new and interesting challenges during the months and years to come in my new home. And my new home is SOLD!
May God be praised forever!
