First Hong Kong Service

Hi all

Note: hello I will be posting a incomplete post for bow due certain events. I will be posting about what ever happen on this trip. The rest when I arrive home. I promise to complete all of it within 2 days of arrivibg

Sorry for not posting a lot. Most likely I will be doing a post about October 2-5 later. Right now I am going to cover the service. The link below is the version recorded by my dad. Just note the video and sound quality is horrible and i don't know when the service starts because the video is 3 hours long.

Recording of the First Hong Kong Service

For me I was never in that hall the entire time I was at Munsang.

My family and I first arrived at around 10am to Munsang to help set up. The first place we went to was the Indoor Playground. During the week this has been the place that we did the most activities. In the Indoor playground all the volunteer sorted the toys, supplies, and candy in that room. This was going to be the room where the children aged 6-12 will and was doing most of the main activities. We started to take out all of the supplies from the place they were stored to set up the classrooms. There were 5 different age groups. The first one, 0-2 years old was on the first floor. The 3-5 were the second floor and the 6-7,8-10,11-12 classes were on the third floor. We set up two rooms for 3-5 because we expected all of kids in that age group.

We finished all of the setting up rather early. It was okay for me during the set up. I did not really like the fact that me and another volunteer had to run back and forth from the storage which was on the other side of Munsang Collage. It was really hot too.

At about 11:30 all the volunteers from all departments went up to the chapel, which was in another building. We met there together and prayed so that the service will happen with without to much trouble. Afterword everyone went back to their place they were setting up/working/helping. The children ministry workers went to what in the states Saddleback Church calls "Pregame" which is when the leaders get together to talk about the day's rundown, pray and eat. It was really funny when the people from the US saw what we had to eat for pregame. REALLY FANCY CAKE!!!!!!! My brother said that they people who brought them were spoiling us. We had lunch at around 12:30 and everyone came to eat. Finished eating at around 1:30pm. There were many leaders who helping out from other churches who arrived after we finished eating. Muar reassigned leaders to their room and gave final instructions. I was assigned to the 6-7 age group.

All of the leaders went to their rooms at around 2pm. About ten minutes later the kids started to arrive in a huge torrent. There were many kids that came. Our count of kids when we went to the Indoor Playground was 35 kids in the 6-7 group. In the Indoor Playground
