I have completed the 10-weeks of Alpha course which was the first held by my church KingdomCity starting from 3rd May 2026 to last Sunday 5th July 2026. Unbelievable I have shown positive changes in myself throughout the sessions.
The changes included:-
- Active participating during the group discussion - sharing lots during most of discussions I have never been so active in group discussion.
- Start writing and sharing my stories and views on Facebook. Also creating awareness on disabilities through Facebook. I had stopped doing them for several years. I just think to record all my sharing on my blog which I left idle for years.
- I have more confident to write using English. Previously I mostly wrote in Bahasa Malaysia except someone helped with editing. I notice my writing in English has shown improvement. Perhaps my perfectionism or my worries about what people may think about me has been reduced. So far I do not use any AI to help edit my whole writing which I have posted.
- Start sharing testimony which previously I worried and wondered is the story considered as testimony or not
- Ideas, topics and stories to be written and shared just come to my mind one by one
- Joining back our weekly city prayer via zoom, as I stopped joining since I had been admitted, 6 weeks in the psychiatry ward in the middle of last year. It’s because my new medication which is taken at night makes me fall asleep once I take it, and I can't take it late as I might have difficulty waking up early the next morning. (Our weekly prayer has changed into morning since July which is from Monday 8pm to Tuesday 6am, and I have successfully: woke up earlier joining the prayer for the last two weeks)
- Last month I attended the KingdomCity Global Prayer Night which is held once every 8 weeks. I love attending the two-hours prayer but stopped going since my admission last year due to the medication. Now the medication no longer has power over my participation in the church prayer activity.
- Do think of giving talks or sharing stories with the specific groups of people especially students in motivating them (hopefully will do it)
- Do think of giving talks sharing knowledge on the topics related to disabilities with specific group of people in creating an inclusive society. (hopefully will do it)
*I think this is the society that God wishes we would live in.
Most changes listed above come after I had asked God what else He wants me to do since He still doesn't want to take me home last May (as what I have shared earlier). I would say God has been working in me tremendously since I have joined the Alpha course. My psychologist is happy with my changes and she also has the same thought that God had worked in me, changing me.
Our Alpha course 2nd cycle will start this coming Sunday 19th July 2026. Please take note that this course is not for Christian only, but for everyone, especially those who have questions about life (what is life all about). Don't worry that you would be asked to believe in Jesus. This is your choice as God gives us free will. I learn, and the most important thing is that the Alpha course has changed me a lot which I had never thought about.
