Young Leaders Conference

It's been a great honour to serve Him with Strikeforce.

It was the morning of 20 May, Saturday. These kids, dressed in the school uniforms, representatives from many secondary schools and JCs in Singapore.
They came together, for the Young Leaders Conference.

Strikeforce was invited to open the event for the day.
At 9:55am, we were ready in our positions, bold and full of zest.
The ever familiar whistle blew, and we strutted in with spacejam beats, leading the way for Minister - Prime Minister's Office, Lim Swee Say.

The sleepy, non-responsive crowd woke up and began cheering.

After playing the grand entrance for the minister, we moved on to the stage to start our item. The silence broke, once again. Sporadic screams of excitement came at junctures of the performance. Man, this is one of the most responsive frenzied audience ever!

The youths, they are the pillars of the country. Amongst these youth leaders, there are many potential entrepreneurs, ministers, opinion leaders. Strikeforce, carrying the spirit of God, was there. When they cheered, they truly cheered for the works of God. We were merely availing ourselves and the little that we have to offer. But the Lord has used us, to stir the hearts and emotions of these young leaders.

It's great to be on stage.. but there is a price to pay to be God's chosen.

1 Thess 1:3-5
"remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God. For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance.."

After the conference ended, Val met some juniors from AHS...they went..."WOW... You are from Strikeforce?" In my heart, I was like, "WOW...God, You've used us to make a difference."


For from Strikeforce, the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. (1 Thess 1:8)
