Aaaaannnnddd WELCOME to another ICC Chapter meeting in Coaches Choong Ming and Honey's house again!!!!
Charis, our Assistant Chapter Chair, welcomed us in her usual sweet way. She started off with a Bible verse by the Apostle Paul (2 Tim. 1:8-12). She explained that as speakers in ICC, we are to be mentored as Christians to lead. By doing so, we have to know what we believe and not being ashamed of our identity as Christians and children of God.

What we
learned in the icebreaker was the value of community. It connects people together and to a common mission.

Next up, we
had Ian lead us in the devotion. We were hyped up by his enthusiasm to “Do the
GOOP!!!,” an interesting and exciting way to learn how to respect God, Others,
Ourselves and Property.
We learned how to ask questions to show respect for others:
-Thank You
-I am sorry
-How can I help you?
-I love you

After that energetic devotion, we were whisked away as we watched our favorite ICC P3 + R3 = C3 video clip featuring Archibald. It made us laugh with amusement and left us all anticipating the sequel. You might be wondering, "what is P3+R3=C3?"
Well, P3 stands for Purpose, Prepare, Present
R3 stands for Rate, Respond, Record
C3 stands for Competence, Character, Community.
The whole video was about how to put all these into practice.

Coach Choong Ming shared with us about a man who had backslided in his faith, asking us if the man had backslided because of the his shallow faith and belief. He then encouraged us to be firmly rooted in our faith, because for this would help us through tough times. One way to do that is to record down what God has done in our lives. If we do that, we will definitely be rooted in God.
After that heart-felt message, we broke to our YSG and YCC teaching.
Speakers Charis and Ian led the YSG teaching session, which was on basic speaking skills and feedback sandwiches.

Meanwhile, it was my first time teaching the YCC group (thanks for helping me out Ranen...). The YCCers learnt about eye contact and how it helps us in our poise.

After the learning, we went for our favorite part of the meeting... tea break!!!
Once we had eaten sufficiently, we adjourned to the living room and had a good laugh as we watched part 2 of the P3+R3=C3 video.
The YSGers then broke into their individual speech coaching groups to practice their speeches, while the YCCers had their own speech coaching session.

After listening to the feedback from our portfolio coaches, some of us were prepared to present our speeches to the chapter. First off, we had speaker Ranen Chan.
Great testimony, Ranen! He spoke with such conviction that everyone was spellbound.
Next it was my turn!
I spoke about finding my life purpose in Christ. After my speech, it was time for Charis to share her testimony.

She spoke about the storms in life and having faith in God.
And of course, we had feedback from coaches and speakers. As Coach Joseph often quotes, "Feedback is the breakfast of champions." ~Ken Blanchard

Although tired, we were still excited to continue the last part of the P3+R3=C3 video.
