When ACS-RI boys come together to pray

Marking down 18 June 2018 as a night of prayer-worship by the ACS and RI boys.  It was held at Zion-Bishan BP, and wow!  What a privilege it was to witness this.

Throughout the meeting, I felt such a manifest presence of the Lord - the atmosphere was so pregnant - and it seemed as if the slightest flame would spark a fire in the place.  It was almost as if God was just so longing to meet with these young people.

Towards the end of the meeting, one of the praying moms shared that the R.I Times reported that in January 1965, the Raffles Christian Fellowship would meet every Friday at the Bethesda Gospel Hall at Bras Basah Road.  There were two sessions -- one from 1.15 - 2pm for those who attended morning school, and another, from 12.00 - 12.45pm for those in the afternoon session.  RI was only one of five schools involved in this Christian Fellowship, the others included Victoria School, ACS, Gan Eng Seng Secondary and St Andrews Secondary.

The notion was that God desires to see a unity among the schools, to worship and pray together, to support each other.

To see boys from two rival schools come together to pray for each other and for the nation of Singapore was such an incredible blessing!! What was even more wonderful to behold was when the "fathers" came. They prayed for and exhorted the boys to carry the baton forward. One of them was an ex ACS boy who was part of the ACS clocktower revival in 1972!! If there could be an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the schools in 1972, why would He not repeat that in 2018?  The rally cry, "Do it again, Lord!"

"Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known, in wrath, remember mercy." (Habbakuk 3:2)

PS. Learnt that on 19 June, the Polys, ITEs and other private institutions are having a worship-prayer night at Kum Yan Methodist. And that there will be a worship night at ACS Barker on 29 June. Wow! If the young people keep contending for their generation, I know God will honour their seeking.
