In my quick summary of the orientation week, I have missed out some of the most important events, and also some of the most amazing events of the week: Delegate Conference 2010, Jesus Film Tour, and Scripture Celebration.

Delegate Conference is held once in every three years, and I was blessed and privileged to have the opportunity to be a part of this event. Delegate Conference brings together all of Wycliffe USA's members and also those who serve with Wycliffe's partners all over the world. These delegates brought with them not only their experience with cross-cultural missions work, but also amazing stories of how God is doing wonderful things all over the world.

On Friday, we were invited to attend the conference's afternoon session with Dr. Tony Evans. It was a very inspiring message as Dr. Evans shared and encouraged the delegates by reminding them that they are not only impacting an individual, but through that individual with whom they come into contact, they are also indirectly impacting the family, and subsequently the entire society. That was very encouraging and refreshing indeed, knowing that while we can only see what is directly ahead of us, God is working out marvelous things through our words and actions for His glory and His kingdom. All that is needed is our willingness to say "Yes!" to Him.

That same afternoon, we walked over to the headquarters of Campus Crusade for Christ International right next door for the Jesus Film Tour. During the tour, we were told about the process of how the Jesus Film is dubbed into different languages, and yet the characters all look like they are speaking those various languages. We were also shown video clips of how this movie is used all over the world to change lives, as Jesus speaks to the various crowds in their heart language. Literally. Looking at the impact that the movie made on the people makes me wonder how I have become to apathetic and indifferent to the amazing story of God becoming man to save the world. I need to look at the Gospel with fresh eyes and a fresh heart, and await to be overwhelmed by God all over again.

Friday evening, the interns hosted an ice-cream social for the delegates. It was a fun time when we just played games and have ice-cream and hang around to chat. I also met some people who are currently serving in Malaysia.

On Saturday morning, we were invited to be a part of the Scripture Celebration to celebrate and give thanks for almost 130 new translations of the Bible. I feel very honoured and privileged to be given the wonderful opportunity to be a part of this joyous occasion. But the most amazing part of the celebration is when the delegates were taking the new translations of the Bible and putting them on stage as part of the dedication. They literally danced their way up to the stage, and the joy that radiates from them is so authentic. It is a joy that comes only from the Lord, a joy that sets their feet into dancing. It was like a taste of Heaven!

Anyway, I am excited to continue to witness the hand of the Lord doing marvelous things through Wycliffe and in and through me this summer. Well, that's all for now. I will be back with more update when work week starts. Do leave a comment here!
