Hello! We have finally come to the end of this edition of Project Noah. As we draw this edition to a close, we invited the two youths that we have been covering to personally write about their experiences serving so far. As you read through their letters, do take time to process what meaning of service everyone has, how service has changed their walk with God, and also more importantly, have these letters prompted you to serve?
In case you’ve forgotten what these 2 look like, here they are!
But before we move, on how about a trip down memory lane? So far for this season, we’ve taken a look at what is done in Creative Design and WOAH, as well as their respective communities.
Here’s one of the wonderful calligraphy pieces Miriam has made on the right for our weekly services. Seeing the sermon’s theme in advance to make the thumbnails, she looked forward to seeing how the speaker would relay the message of the sermon. Miriam also participated in CD’s MTM, saying the people there were “entertaining, talented and enthusiastic“.
Meanwhile, Tze Hung has welcomed you into the chapel and while scared at first, got into the flow of things. Similarly, when he first joined WOAH, he was also quite awkward but the people serving in WOAH were friendly and accommodating to Tze Hung, showing him the ropes.
Now, let’s hear from the youths themselves!
-Miriam-
It’s been about 1 year since I started CD and you may have seen my work displayed on the screen for a while now, like the calligraphy and some of the titles for the sermon. I think since joining CD, I have changed my calligraphy style A LOT of times (I can’t even count) I guess because everytime I see my work displayed, I felt like I could do better and was just not satisfied with it.
If you are asking whether I have grown from serving in CD, I’m still that irresponsible teenager that definitely forgets to do things like this article but I definitely did grow in Christ as I find it much easier to go to church now.
I thank the CD members for contributing to the person I am now. I had a really great time getting to know everyone and hanging out with you guys during the meetings that we had. I really appreciate it. I wouldn’t have gone to church without those meetings. Whenever I don’t feel like it, just nice, CD meetings are on that day. This really helped me grow closer to God as the part of me wanting to go to church every week is increasing day by day.
To end this on a good note, to the person reading this (yes you) if you are struggling with attending church or want to grow in God more, consider serving the church. It would most probably help you as it has helped me. Trust me, it may seem boring but it's not at all. In fact, it’s really fun as you can work with different people and communicate with them. Yup, I think that is all. Thanks for taking up your time to read my (basically) life story!

-Tze Hung-
In your time serving in WOAH what do you think went well?
Hmm so I think what went well for me was that I was able to help out in church and be able to serve God and like I was able to be a more useful and more Christ-like person in my opinion.
On the other hand, what didn’t go too well?
I think what did not go too well would be the goal for me to be more outspoken hasn't worked yet but I trust that God will find the right time for me to achieve that goal.
What are some goals or plans moving forward?
I think in the future I could have done better in terms of setting aside more time to help out.
What advice they want to give younger youths?
I would say choose what you want to join and do your best in that service with the help of the LORD.
