A place for outsider.
Last Saturday and Sunday at NewSong Bangkok we got a profound sharing from Abe about "Being An Outsider For The Rest of Your Life". Several days before, God gave "Apple" a chance to connect with one family when the woman came to Apple's kids clothing shop. Just a kind of shopping for finding some dresses for her kids. When they start talking, it is God that bring them to talk about church. She says that she's Christian for 2 years but never got a chance to go to church. So, with NewSong DNA inherited, Apple shared about our presence at Siam and invite her to check us out. "How come to has a church at Siam?" that was her excitment and wonder. On Sunday, we got a call from that woman on the way to close to NewSong Siam. She said she already came around the church but don't exactly know where is it. So, Apple tell her where to meet and take her to our verge. During the sharing about become an outsider at anytime. Even you are a foreigner, in your family, circle of friends, at your workplace, everywhere in the world, once in a while you will got a feeling to be an outsider. Actually, we're not belong to this world but a place already prepared for us in heaven. That's why all our seeking on earth never well us up. Because we belong to God only him can fulfill on what we really need inside. That woman listen to our sharing along with her husband. They also took their kids to our child care too. They break into tear when we sharing together in group. They are so happy on getting a place like NewSong that they can be themselves. At the end of the service, Peter pray for theme and talk with them, they really impress on our true heart of caring. The day after she called Apple again to say thank you and just one time of visit she decided to rearrange their life schedule to take their kids on music study arond Siam. Becuase they can join our sercive after that activity. Before that, she don't have the chance to go to church because on every Sunday she need to stay home take care the kids and let her husband go cycling practice for tournament. But from now on her husband desired to practice on Saturday instead and give the whole Sunday for family and for NewSong paticipation. Anticipation! I could say that. They willing to change their lifestyle because NewSong touch the heart of outsider which is misfit from somewhere else. This is a huge worth seeing people got their life, hope, and joy back after struggling for a period of time. I'm so thankful to God that use us as a part of reconciliation toward people back to him and give them the Love Without String and this is again the real cWoWs.
