To tell you a fact, this is the third time I will be talking about what fellowship means to me. I was wondering, is my story really that interesting? Or was there no other choice? Anyway, I think everything I experienced in this fellowship is your experience as well. The fun times, the good times, the sharing, the bonding, the learning, and the joy of seeing other friends.
Because of that, I will share to you something I also learned about Christian fellowship from my school org, State Varsity Christian Fellowship, and from our fellowship as well. There’s one thing I learned, and that is fellowship is beyond the walls of the church building.
It is very sad, but very true, that we often times leave our fellowship behind once our “fellowship” time ends. What I saw in SVCF was really different. I saw the fellowship as a means by which people minister to others on a daily basis. Fellowship is a ministry that caters to individuals and their needs.
Another thing I appreciated and learned about SVCF is their willingness to break from their groups. I would often arrive at SVCF seeing everyone happy together and sharing experiences together. In retrospect, a ministry is definitely more effective when everyone is bonded together.
I also appreciated and learned the heart they really have for fellow believers. They would often ask each other for prayer concerns, they would encourage each other, and they would counsel each other. I know for a fact that this is true because during the “low” years of my life, when I had a lot of questions and frustrations about A LOT of things, they were the ones who greatly ministered to me.
Lastly, I appreciate and learned that a real Christian should be passionate about God EVERYTIME. We should constantly strive to know and understand the very nature of God. We should also be passionate in sharing our lives and experiences to others because it is the power of God which is working in our lives. We have nothing to brag about, but we tell it to others so that God’s power and glory may be known.
I am truly blessed to have experienced two fellowships that have truly helped me in many aspects of my life. Do hope that you yourselves have been touched and helped by our youth fellowship. It is also my hope that we continue to strive, to our very best, to be Christ-like. May we continue to seek His will as we strive to bring glory to His name.
