As a band, we are currently looking for churches to support us. Frantic search for financial support is not always a healthy thing to do. Because of the tremendous amount of stress and anxiety that comes with asking for funds in the light of this economic recession, I have to say, my mood's been possessed by the spirit of crankiness (if that's a word). But God and the holy people always comes through.
Since I got out of Lakeshore the week before, I was free to visit other churches for the first time this year. So out of my whim and overpowering influence, I took the team to New Life Christian Fellowship in San Lorenzo CA. I believe it was a choice pre-ordained by God. The moment we went into the church we were welcomed as if we were family. We were introduced promptly and preacher Sandra Lee(my friend) asked us to talk a little bit about our mission trip. I kinda had a hard time saying everything I needed to then, but we were able to mingle around after church and get to know the people of the church.
As we got to know the congregation we were able to meet the worship director Gina Chin and Julie Chew. They were both very passionate about worship and wanted us to lead worship service at their church. They even offered to have a collection for the mission trip. It is really hard to say what I was feeling at that moment. I didn't feel like I did much to promote our mission trip, but people I never met were excited about it and wanted to help out. At that moment I saw a glimpse of God working in people's lives and moving their hearts to do something for God. They voluntarily partnered with us to make this trip happen. At that point I didn't really care how much money they were offering, I was just happy that so many people were willing to affirm and support us in this mission that I never thought would happened in the first place.
All I got to say is this, there's still hope for Christianity. God existed, God still exists, and God will exist, and there always will be saints working to let people know of this fact.
