Youth Activity on 4-4-2009 (Archery Event)

On 4th of April last Saturday, our church's youth ministry had organized an archery activity at Bintang Plaza. There were 11 youths that participated in this activity and most of them were first timers. Each person was given a bow and 40 arrows and they were also required to wear some protective hand accessories to protect their hands before playing. There were also 3 coaches who assisted us and they also helped us to have a better understanding about archery. They taught us the correct standing position and also the correct methods to hit the target.

Key thought after playing the game: Proverbs Chapter 3: verse 5 - 6 (箴言: 3 章 5 - 6 节)

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” (Prov. 3:5 - 6)

"你要专心仰赖耶和华, 不可倚靠自己的聪明, 在你一切所行的事上都要认定他, 他必指引你的路." (箴言: 3 章 5 - 6 节)

God's traits are forever our inspiration, goal, and target. We need to concentrate in following his way and we must trust in him regardless of whatever environment we are in so that we cannot be influenced easily. This is also quite similar to archery.

In our everyday life, if we can't concentrate in the things we do, we would not be able to achieve our goals. It is the same for archery as well...if we do not concentrate we will fail to shoot the target to the destined target. The process to achieve our goals will be much easier if we choose to ignore the negative factors. For example, by closing our left eye while we are aiming at the target we get a higher possibility of hitting the 'bulls-eye."
