What So Important........


What so important of this job yet people don't see your greatness. This question doubt me for a long time ago when the first time I join the praise team . I have been in the job that called LCD projectorist or song slide projectorist. This is the job which I needed to show the words of the song into the screen to lead people to see and sing. Actually it is a very important job just as the sound engineer in the church. You needed focus at the worship song that the vocalist sing and follow each of their words that came out from their mouth. Each of their sign needed to be focus and know what they will sing to which part like chorus or etc. Yet this job is the most people don't want to do because it not as cool and great as the musician and worship leader. This job is the back stage job that help the worship to lead the people to sing the song that they not ussually remember the lyric of the song. Just like the PA sound man or called sound engineer, is the back stage job which people don't see you much and sees you as an easy job. I have been a LCD projectorist at my church for 6 years and just recently I just know how to manage a good quality of sound as a sound man at the PA or sound system. Many people sees me that my job is easy job and just press the button. I also have been doubt for my job. For many years, God really guide me through this job although people don't see me as an important person in the worship team. Yet many advice that my friends, leaders and my sisters said that all we do is to serve God only not to promoting you or to man. It's really an courage words to me for many years. Today, I went to my youth cell group, a leader which is my friend too who called Ah Yeing said much about her preaching. She said tha when you are in any ministry, we serve as a body or as a team. Church is like a body which got many kinds of ministry. If one of the hands cut of, can the body works well as usual. Of course not. Just like the praise and worship team in the church, everyone in the team plays a very important role although people don't sees the back stage role like sound man or LCD projectorist also play a very important role. If the LCD guy not at the computer or the projector, how can the new christian or people who don't know the songs can sing the song that the worship leader sings. Even though some people can memorize the lyric of the songs yet they still have weakness to forgot the lyric too. Sound man too because he is the one who manage the sound in a stage or church to be a better quality of acoustic sound in the praise and worship time. If he is not there, who control the sound system. Even though someone know a little bit of it yet is not as good as the usual sound man who at there to make the worship live and make the congregation to sing pleasantly. Worship leader too because if the worship leader is not at the team when practise or during times of worship, no one can lead the people to worship. The musician too because if one of the musician like the guitarist have not come during the times of worship, the music that played out may not as good as usual. Everyone in a ministry play a very important role even the one who gets the less attention. Just have to know that who we got to serve. We are serving God not serving man. That why this words makes me untill now I am still the projectorist and I have learn much with computer things untill I can design a poster for some multimedia presention. The Festival Of Praise 2006, Extraordinary poster is I design it for advertising purpose. God really guide me much as I walk the days of my life. Even a job which people don't sees you or know you, I must remind myself that I must do it for the best to God because I am serving the supernatural and the living God. For now on, I must began to prayed much because I have a long time to prayed much because I am lazy. May God guide my life and my future. I hope this words will be a encouragement to those who read it. Remember that everyone in the church even any ministrys play an important rolw to God because we are serving God not man.

I thank God that finally, you get the meaning of everyone play an important role in the church. No matter where you are, what you're doing, the Lord knows and He is there for you. You are important and remember that. Don't get lie from the father of Liar but continue to have faith and trust in God and to be positive for we have a living God. A God that are risen and a God that is powerful. Be strong and be courages.
