My conflict with CCF and its pastors resulted in my expulsion from my bible study group. It left me with nothing to do every Thursday night. Refusing to sulk, I volunteered at a nearby shelter for street kids. But instead of tutoring every Thursday night, I was assigned to teach every Saturday. And I was assigned only one student to take care of. While others had several students under their care, I was assigned to just one. The student who was assigned to me turned out to be a tough street smart kid who had no interest at all to go to school. He simply passed from one year level to the next because he would simply do a project to make up for his failing marks.
Slowly but surely, my student developed the habit of doing his homework. I would find his notebooks full of well-written notes. He would come prepared for every tutorial session. His test scores improved as well.
Last weekend, I was simply overjoyed to hear that my student passed the first grading period with ease. From being a problem child, he has turned into a responsible student.
Now, I understand why God revealed to me the things I discovered about CCF. Now, I understand why I had to be removed from my bible study group. God has intended to use me in another way.
I am simply overjoyed and amazed to see and feel God's wonderful hand in the things I went through. He turned my defeat into victory. He turned my sorrow into joy. I am so thankful to God for allowing me to experience His greatness. Now, I am thinking of rendering my services to a nearby public school to allow God to use me in a bigger way. I hope to see and feel God's great work manifest itself in the students who I will encounter and teach. To God be the glory !
