Change Your World aftermath

It’s been 2 weeks since Change Your World concert. 1 accord ministry rocked Dewan Sri Pinang. There have been many challenges posted. These challenges to me are good in a way to fired us up for our community. I mean, our community is made up of people like us. There are good people and there are also bad people. There are people who are blessed and people who are less fortunate. The Change Your world concert is not just a hoo ha kind of concert where you come to just have fun and forget about it after the event. My non believer friend, Andrew Ong commented that although he had fun and enjoyed the event, he also learned something during the event. A week later, we had this I love Penang project which I didn’t manage to go because I had classes. It was a good community project but I believe that it mustn’t just end with that project as change your world is more than just a community project. What is important is not more projects for the community but rather a change of heart and attitude towards the particular situation. I’ve learned in management classes as I am a management student that attitude is the way we view things around us. If we have had more compassion, more awareness and more courage, I believe that one day, we will not only be history makers and world changers but our society will become a near perfect society. What makes our society bad today? Is it the bad people or the good ones doing nothing? Looking at the scenario in USA where a girl was gang raped but more than 12 people stood nearby doing nothing. If they would have intervened, that poor girl wouldn’t have been raped. Sometimes it’s because we fear for ourselves. For example, snatch thieves. People are afraid to help because they fear they would get attacked or stab. If someone intervened and brought the thief to justice, then there would be lesser crimes as this criminal is stopped from committing more crimes. Sometimes we blamed the government and the corrupted policeman. Have we ever thought of the sacrifices they’ve made? Not all policemen are corrupted. Some are fighting for a clean police force. I myself played mobster 2 in Facebook. I find that crimes happened when good people does nothing to stop it. Example: the mission on holding a gun store in Miami. The chances of failure is about 50% and when it does fails it says that even the people in the shop assisted the owner. Dr. Kou my lecturer said that we are to kill the problem with workable solution that it won’t arise again. The problems in our community can only be solved by ourselves if we choose to do something. That something could be helping out the poor. Rev. Bill and his metro ministry has helped changed the lives of people in Brokenly, New York simply but helping them. They have in fact helped changed the lives of several street children to become church workers instead of becoming whistle blowers for drug mules. Can our society’s problem be solved? Yes. If we help the poor and help provide them with education, these people will become good income earner and this will pull their generation out of poverty. If we help drug addicts and harlots with rehab programs, they will stop their profession and addictions and live normal and acceptable lives. If we help ex-convicts to blend back into the society, they will stop doing crimes as they did before. If we help our policeman by providing them information and help then criminals will be arrested and crimes will be reduced. If we elect good, responsible, honest and trustworthy people into the government, there will be lesser corruption and there will be justice. It all ends up with, “What are you going to do with your life”, the theme for the Quest 1 of Change Your World.
