Pillar of support

I enjoy watching the anime Prince of Tennis. It is quite entertaining, and it is a living proof of how the physics I learned in class doesn't apply at all. But yeah, there is a phrase that I am attached with from this series, and I remembered including it (with proper reference) in a serious email that I wrote about CCF:

"Become a pillar of support..."

Basically, the about-to-leave captain says this to the freshman to encourage and challenge him to become an integral part of the tennis team.

As a about-to-leave leader, I feel very compelled to say that same phrase especially to the younger members of CCF. If you consider CCF as your family in Waterloo, I challenge you to become an integral member of this family. To generalize, become an integral member of your local Christian community.

Don't be just a bystander or someone who just attends, but be someone who gets involved, who actively engages, who gets to know other members of the family. Exercise the gifts that the Holy Spirit has given you in the place that God has placed you in to manifest more and more the new life in Christ Jesus.

It is very rewarding to actively partake in a community because we learn how to love, we are encouraged and challenged, we learned to be humble and vulnerable through the invaluable relationships we formed. God can use this community to mold us and make us realize the potential and the privilege we have to co-partner in His Kingdom. All for the praise and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Become CCF's pillar of support.
