Last Thursday (9th Oct), we were treated to a special LM - A Walk To Remember. We had to take a walk around the campus to remember and pray for the needs of the campus. It being my very first prayer walk, I was a little clueless at first but nonetheless, excited (:
After a time of worship, we set off for our prayer walk. We were given seeds (green beans!) and were told to ‘sow’ the seeds as we pray along the way.
The act of praying for the campus and ‘sowing’ those seeds reminded me of the verse from 1 Corinthians 6. It is our responsibility to sow the seed (I planted the seed) of Christ into the hearts of the lost, and commit them in prayer to God (but God made it grow).
We also took some time to pray for the law and music faculty. At the station dedicated to them, we had an interesting session whereby we shot plastic arrows in their respective directions. It served as a reminder that we should persevere in praying for them and the people God has placed around us.
This prayer walk helped me to see the needs of our campus through God’s eyes. Many people whom we come into contact with everyday are still lost. May our presence in NUS be purposeful as we go forth and reach out to the lost! (:
Through His love our hearts can feel
All the grief they bear.
They must hear the Words of Life
Only we can share.
In Him, Shermaine
