hello there.

Good -- uh -- morning, everyone.

As you probably can tell from Jonwong's post, FireAC is still very much alive. In case you haven't yet noticed, there are 5 leaders: Michael and Sophia from Year 5, and Jonwong, Ding and myself (Mark) from Year 6. If you have anything at all that you need to talk about, we're always there, and although we might not be the least busy people around, feel free to approach any of us if you have prayer requests, things to share, or even if you feel like a chat.

Honestly, I'm still quite amazed at how FireAC has grown since it re-opened. Going from 4 people to 7 or 8, then to 18 (yes, I counted) is truly incredible. It really is heartening to see so many people coming down and taking some time out to start the day with Him. Each one of us goes for FireAC for a different reason, and I'm thankful that you've decided to dedicate your mornings to God, and be part of this ministry -- for whatever reason God has given you.

2 Corinthians 4:1-2 reads: "Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God." In that light, I urge you to not confine the Gospel to Tuesday to Friday mornings, or to Sundays (and Saturdays in the case of the BB people). We should not hide God's presence in us from the world. As tomorrow (rather, later today) we celebrate the ACS spirit, whatever that is, and our subsumation in it, I urge you to remember that, above all that, we have not just the ACS spirit but the Holy Spirit in us. If we can celebrate and be joyful in a sense of belonging to a school, how much more, then, shall we rejoice at our being found in Christ? (:

Just something to think about, yeah? Enjoy your Founder's Day, everyone!
