The Christian Worldview

 "Chap Chili Chap Chili Chap Chap Chap......."

I had the honor to start our 11th ICC Chapter meeting with an icebreaker activity called "Who is the Leader." Having everyone stand in a circle, I asked for a volunteer to leave the hall while we chose a leader to initiate some actions. The volunteer was called to return and stood in the middle of the circle to identify the leader. The purpose of this game is to improve teamwork and to focus on the leader. In this game, Speaker Ranen volunteered and Coach James Sia led the group in doing various amusing actions while chanting "Chap Chili Chap Chili Chap Chap Chap......." together.

Everyone was trying to follow Coach James's action closely.

After a round of laughter, we were all ready for serious study. Coach Joseph introduced to us the 10 disciplines which constitute a worldview.

The 10 disciplines are theology, philosophy, ethics, biology, sociology, psychology, law, politics, economics, and history. We were made to memorize and recite the definition of worldview to each other. In order to apply what we have learned, we were separated into groups and were given a newspaper article/advertisement to discuss how it relates to the disciplines of a worldview.

We YSGers also had our discussion on how the games are to be managed at our ICC Fraser's Hill retreat.

Finally I was given the green light to practice my first platform speech on DNA Extraction at the end of the meeting.

I felt encouraged with the positive feedback from the coaches - well prepared, passionate about the topic, good vocal variety. I shall continue to work on handling the props smoothly and do not show my nervousness. Practice makes perfect!
