if you could change the way things are.

As to maintain the standards of being an active blogger which I know I've already failed miserably, I've decided to give a quick and early write up on an ACTSperience which will forever be etched in my heart.

I was given the opportunity (thanks to my folks whom had been kind enough to allow me) to join some of the fireBRANDS to KL. An exposure trip, I gather. Nevertheless, it turned out to be even more meaningful and more significant than just an exposure trip which was the main objective of going over to KL.

My first impression on the ACTS church. Lets just say I expected them to be a church with a huge heart for God, passionate to change the world and follow Christ to the ends of the earth. They met up to more than my expectations, to tell you the truth. Their hospitality. One which you can never find elsewhere. Through the years, I've known churches to be hospitable, in a sense where they had ushers to shake a few hands and greet you good morning before entering. But in ACTS, it was a huge difference. Having been there only once, they had tonnes of ushers, ready to greet you, from where you park your car all the way up to where you'd be seated on that morning. We were each given a tote bag filled with their own personalized note book, their updates schedule and etc., when we walked in. There were so many ushers to shake hands with, you'd feel as if you're a star. Even through their announcements, when we're asked to stand up, it felt like a herd of cows (ALOT) rushing over to greet us with their warm smiles. Something which would make your day. It's their hospitality which really amazes me at this point. Watching the members of ACTS church work as a community, having a family orientated concept, hospitable enough to take into consideration of others around them and totally on fire for God can really make you believe that ACTS church is one which practices a christian lifestyle. It's hard to explain.

As for my fellow room mates and the rest of us who's been having sore buttocks for the whole entire weekend, I guess you could say, it was a time where we've learnt more of one another and bonded with one another more. By singing an impersonation of Timon and Pumba's Hakunamatata, sharing a huge plate of chicken rice, getting teased over how the Cheese Naan was exquisite, drinking each other's pebbles in a Ribena shake at Steven's, playing taboo and assuming the rest would know the answer even when you gave a dumb clue, sharing your mentos with someone who was too sleepy to go through the morning service, shopping with a friend who's in need of new shoes after having to march in her heels for more than 5 hours, sharing your mutton and tomato rice with someone who isn't capable with eating a whole plate, falling asleep on someone else's bed when the rest were still awake, laughing over a sick joke which was rather hilarious in the middle of the night, looking for a nice shirt to buy which fits you, hogging over hotdogs with onions and green relish, waiting for a friend in need of a new pillow, or even laughing your way back to Penang by renaming Leroy as Aminah has made me realize that these are moments which has made me smile and made this trip a meaningful one.

Though there's alot more to say, I'll end here.

Pictures to come soon after.
