Koinonia Visiting August 26, 2005

In the evening I went to ABSK, or Asian Baptist Student Koinoia (Fellowship). Since it’s still a month before school starts, there was not a single freshman there, and everyone seemed a lot older than me. Visiting a fellowship would be easier with a friend, but God answered my prayers and I found Yang there.

In fact, he was one of the first people I ran into, but I didn’t notice him for the longest time while standing there next to him. Finally we saw each other’s face and realized we knew each other. It was a blessing that he was there to show me around. He was the same major I was a few years back, Computer Science and Engineering, but completed the five year major in three years. Now, just a couple years later, he has his PhD already.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to run to him crying every day when I come across impossible problems in my schoolwork.

The Bible study was good, but pretty unique. Not only were there no freshman, but the upperclassmen were gone on a camping trip as well, leaving middle year people. The speaker talked about Jesus and the bleeding woman, and how he was born with a condition that made it so he could relate to the story of the woman.

Afterwards, everyone met at Harper Middle School, where there was a sports night. The three activities were handball, basketball, and lightning (otherwise known as knockout?). When the three activites were over, everyone had free time until 11. I played a game of basketball, and then left. I’ll go to their afternoon sunday service this sunday as well.
