True Vine


I have witnessed solid mentorship in action today. Imagine, our younger youths are now co-leading the praise and worship band! Who would've thought in just a span of 2 years, these once wide-eyed kids would grow up so fast, and so soon, to tread and walk in their parents shoes! This is Holy Spirit work in action! I know most of us can sleep well at night now that we've seen what 'biblical parenting' can bear. 

Fruits anyone?

"Life Cycle"




Me and My Father:

When I was 4 Yrs Old: My father is THE BEST!

When I was 6 Yrs Old: My father seems
...to know everyone

When I was 10 Yrs Old: My father is excellent
...but he is short tempered

When I was 12 Yrs Old: My father was nice
...when I was little

When I was 14 Yrs Old: My father started being
..too sensitive

When I was 16 Yrs Old: My father can't keep up
...with modern time

When I was 18 Yrs Old: My father is getting less tolerant as the days pass by.

When I was 20 Yrs Old: It is too hard to forgive my father, how could my Mom stand him all these years???

When I was 25 Yrs Old: My father seems to be objecting to everything I do !!

When I was 30 Yrs Old: It's very difficult to be in agreement with my father, I wonder if my Grandfather was troubled by my father when he
was a youth...

When I was 40 Yrs Old: My father brought me up with a lot of discipline, I must do the same...

When I was 45 Yrs Old: I am puzzled, how did my father manage to raise all of us???

When I was 50 Yrs Old: It's rather difficult to control my kids, how much did my father suffer for the sake of upbringing and protecting us???

When I was 55 Yrs Old: My father was far looking and had wide plans for us, he was gentle and outstanding.

When I became 60 Yrs Old: My father is THE BEST !!!


MORAL LESSON:

Note that it took 56 Yrs to complete the cycle and return to the starting point
'My father is THE BEST’

OUR STAND:

WIN Wyldfire Youth Ministry believes that it doesn’t have to be this way.. It needs NOT to take a lifetime to realize that our parents and us,as future parents, are the BEST!!

As we connect People to God, we also connect the generations – both former & the next !
