What keeps us labouring, really?

Posted on August 11, 2009 | Filed Under Discipleship, Ministries, News 

“God’s love drives us to do what we’re doing. God’s Word motivates us to make disciples and think of generations. As I progress in my life, I realise that being a Christian is not about being a Sunday pew warmer. I have to be a full-time Christian. I need to live my life to inspire others and help them know God.” – Raymond Tan, financial consultant, volunteer labourer - ITE

“I always see my brothers and sisters reaching out to the lost. They pray for the people. Their example motivates me. I also know that as I honour God, he will honour me. For the past month or so, I have been taking leave from work every Thursday (not because of economic recession; this is a paid leave) to join my brothers and sisters to go out witnessing at Singapore Polytechnic. Two people responded. They were attracted to us not because of our activities but because of the Word of God.” – Bernard Kok, logistic executive, volunteer labourer - Ngee Ann Polytechnic

“A girl I was helping backslided for a while. I didn’t know anymore how to help her. I prayed for her. She was re-taking her A levels and God blessed her. It boosted her morale. I encouraged her to give thanks to God. She got excited and went to share to her classmate what she went through. God reminded me that it’s not through my personal strength but through him. That encourages me to do more.” – Jasline Pan, teacher, volunteer labourer - The NavTeens

“I’m here because of 2 Corinthians 5:14 – my motivation – the love of God. Sometimes, it’s easier to lead someone to Christ but to invest in people’s lives, day to day, life to life gets very tough at times. But it’s the love of Christ that compels us to go into people’s lives. As we pour our lives to other people, it’s not a one-time thing, but lifelong and eternal.” – Peter Yim, Navigator staff member, National University of Singapore

“If a person loves someone, he will give his best to the other party. I have no doubt that God loves me. And I’m growing in my love for God as well. I asked God what he wants me to do. What is something that excites him the most? Throughout the years, the thing that came to mind is that he desires my life first. He desires to have all of me. Then through me to bring many others to him. It’s the lives of people that excite God the most. I’ve got to give that to God.” – Xue Yang Kui, researcher, volunteer labourer - Ngee Ann Polytechnic
