Christian Sojourners is Back to the Bible Baptist Church’s Singles’ Ministry. It is a group of young people who encourages others to study the Scriptures, strengthens one another to grow more in Faith and Prayers and Reach out others to proclaim the good news of salvation.

By God’s providence of love through Christ, we are able to share the Light of our Saviour. As witnesses of Christ in this blinded world, we should live as faithful followers of Christ through the Guidance of the Holy Spirit. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” -Matthew 5:16

 

TIME TO GIVE OUT LOVE

 

Tokens are simple appreciation given to those who take time to attend a special activity. Hoping somehow, they’ll remember how memorable that day is and how their lives change after that. On the other hand, we all know time is one of the most valuable things here on earth. That’s why; the church decides to give out wall clocks as our token for this year’s 10th church anniversary.

This is not just an ordinary wall clock wrapped in a beautiful paper with ribbon. We make sure to have it personalized in a sense that we need to dismantle the clock to put a sticker (agreed logo for this year’s anniversary). Few months back when our artistic members submit their entry for the logo, the leaders of our church choose which is entitled: Salvation by Grace. The Christian Sojourners simply known as the “CSJ” are assigned to make 300 tokens. How is that possible? 

 

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible,

but with God all things are possible” Matt. 19:26 

 

 

Days before the actual making of these tokens, God gives the leaders the wisdom on how to come up with an efficient plan. They come up with several teams having specific task to do. After we have finished everything, we have a short devotion led by our president, Bro. Melvin before partaking the supper. Usually, CSJ meets every other Wednesday to have some activities and devotions together. So for two (2) consecutive Wednesdays, we are able to complete 300 tokens ready for the anniversary.

It is indeed by God’s grace that we are able to finish it just in time. Despite the busy schedule of each and every one it hinders not in accomplishing this task for God’s glory.

 

The eagerness of everybody to finish in time is there. And when everybody works hand in hand, things are easily achieved. Seen in the faces of the sojourners is how they have fun, too, while working. That indicates they work heartily for the Lord. One of our leaders in CSJ bluntly say, “Always remember, that your labor is not in vain with the Lord.” That is found in 1 Corinthians 15:58 … Forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. This is one of the most beautiful promises of God to us, that our labor for Him is never wasted. He sees all the sacrifices made by everyone especially their time and effort. May the sojourners continue their fire in serving God with activity like this. May the clock be an inspiration to everyone, particularly to the Christians that time is running so fast and that we shouldn’t miss out sharing God’s great love to mankind, not on to our loved ones and people that are close to us but to the unbelieving world, in general. Let’s go, it’s time to give out love!
