Welcome to our second-last meeting of the year! Wow, does time fly. After welcoming the chapter, I led the icebreaker. It was a continuation of the last meeting’s icebreaker, which explored different kinds of energy that we can use to help improve our character portrayal in interpretations.

Speaker Ian then facilitated the devotion, which was based on Colossians 4:5-6. We discussed why our speech should be gracious and attractive, and how to make the most of every opportunity to show Christ to others.

After our short devotion, Coach Choong Ming shared about how we sometimes don’t follow the words we speak. We say one thing, but do another, which is a bad testimony of Christianity. Not only that, but it becomes a stumbling block for other Christians. At the 4:12 conference, the phrase “Be the Example” was everywhere, so much so that we sometimes don’t stop to think about what it actually means. Instead of just talking about being the example, we need to actually go out and be the example in our communities.


In the YSG skill session, led by speaker Jern Ling, we learnt good habits we should have when communicating on the phone or by email, followed by some “real-life” simulation.



Our real life simulation of the "ideal" phone call conversation...

Acting skills on point, people.


We then had teabreak!

After teabreak, all the speakers took turns to share their 4:12 experience, and how it relates to ICC’s 3 Cs – Competence, Character, and Connection.


That’s all for this meeting! Thank you for reading this post, and hope to see you soon!
