Going in the training for Kids for Christ pastoral work, I wondered why kfc when all this time I’ve been serving in cfc-youth. why po? hehe
Till now I don’t know the full reason why but in the month I’ve been here in the Philippines, I’ve come to appreciate and see the greater mission through kids for Christ.
I’ve come to realize that kfc is not only about the kids but the whole family. It is about building a relationship with parents so that together, we can cater to kids in molding them into “young Christ like leaders” of the future.
I saw this in the recent IKV when all I saw were families experiencing Christ through the IKV. It was beautiful to watch and be part of (wahhh I miss my family po hehe :P)
In addition, it was the parents who we had to converse with, organize with and explain to, so becoming a ftpw for KFC does not only mean for kids but for the family too.
another realization.. #WeNeedMoreKFCftpw but that’s another reflection to chew on po hehe 😛
Overall I must say too.. Kids for Christ is not an easy ministry.. you’ll be challenged in many ways (interpersonal skills, voice acting skills, smiling skills, patience skills etc.) but The Lord is much Greater in many ways too because He loves the children more and will wait open arms for His children (Mark 10:14)
The Lord has a funny way of leading me..
I remember as a student of nursing, I told my self that I can never work in the paediatrics ward because I can’t work with kids and can’t deal with worried/angry parents.. now look where I am po hehe training as a KIDS for Christ pastoral worker.
The Lord is truly the Great provider in everything we need.. He can calm the heart and mind in times of chaos (praise God).
Lord, You’re a funny Father but a knowing all One. You knew that I would come to love and appreciate something(s) I turned a blind eye too (if that made sense po hehe)
Thank you Lord and continue to teach me to have an open heart to Your leading..
