What have I learned in this IDMC 2017 ?
What are my takeaways from this conference? Was it the bag, the pen, the conference book or the nametag?
I have learned a lot from the past IDMC conferences. I have different take-away lessons for each of them. It does not necessary make me a disciple maker, it caused me to re-align myself to God's mission and vision, it made me realised my true destiny and it helped me to re-postured myself before the Lord.
On the last day of IDMC 2017 at Miri, we were asked to pen down what is our take-away from this conference. I wrote the following prayer in a breath. I wrote down the first line and had no idea what to write for the next line. It was like the Holy Spirit downloaded to me what to write. As I penned the thoughts down, towards the end I was thinking to write about my home-coming to heaven and enjoying eternal life but instead, I was moved to tears. I wept as I wrote the last few lines.
This prayer is like my heart-beat prayer to God. I realised that after half a century, I have many flaws, I have failed time and time again. Would I be able to make a difference? Would I be able to rise up tall?
What I have in this one life,
the little time that I spend on earth,
loving the few people God brings to me,
solving problems related to my living on this land,
leaving a mark, a legacy for the next generation,
a testimony of His glory,
how God could use one life
to bring about transformations
that have eternal and Kingdom values.
