WELCOME BACK!!!

Today was a very special day for our chapter, Words A.L.I.V.E. because today was OPEN HOUSE DAY!!!!!

We invited the families who attended the 4:12 conference in Malaysia and are interested in joining and applying the curriculum to their lives.

Our chapter meeting started with a BANG with our chapter chair, Ranen, welcoming and making our guests feel at ease. Then, keeping the energy up, Jern Yoong led us in an icebreaker that involved us transforming into a particular scene. Group 1 had to transform into a sports car. We got all the little kids to be the engine in the front, some of us curled up into a ball as wheels, and some of us were the wings at the back of the car

Group 2 presented a scene of "buying ice cream in an ice cream store/truck." We all had a good laugh at how big the "ice creams" were.

After getting thoroughly exhausted, we quickly moved on to the devotion by Charis. She shared based on Philippians 4:4 about rejoicing always no matter the circumstances. To me, it is a constant reminder to be joyful, always knowing that God is in control.

Coach Joseph took the stage on "love letters". He started with a story of a couple having a long distance relationship, and since there was no email or any internet back in those days, the man would write letters to his girlfriend every single day (that is true commitment and love y'all) only to find out that his girlfriend was getting married to the postman who sent the letters to her everyday. Coach Joseph reminded us that it was not because of the letters or the content written in each letter, but more of the day-to-day delivery. He shared with us that in ICC, it's more of the day-to-day coaching, influence, and daily communication that helps us grow and become "love letters".

He then introduced us, speakers, and our chapter roles.

We quickly broke off into our own groups for the teaching session. Eunice led the YSGers in a session on Radio Broadcasting. After demonstrating a broadcast, she conducted an activity where we broke up into groups and analyzed articles in preparation for a broadcast.
