I’m having fieldword intensive, it’s part of Hillsong College. During fieldwork intensive I’m helping the kids ministry, and it’s really cool. My leaders here are the best I ever had… I’m being so much blessed, and I’m thankful to God because of it.

Today I also went to the hollywood (a Fuel’s tribe) connect-group, on a book shop, and I almost bought the book “The Little Prince”… I like this book… hehehe… inside the book shop I saw this sentence, which I found really interesting:

“The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.” Tom Clancy

I’m sure this is not the best quote, and perhaps this is not totaly true, but I think this is a really interesting one. Sometimes the real world doesn’t make sense. But, on the other hand, if we watch a movie, and something is not well explained, we become very angry. This is funny, because a lot of things doesn’t make sense around us, and we don’t really care.

Coincidence or not, I came back home and Jeasung was waiting with a movie called “Blood Diamond”, which shows something about the child soldiers, in Africa. And on this movie, the story makes a lot of sense… it’s a really good movie… but the reality this movie shows doesn’t make any sense. Children are arrested and forced to be soldiers, and kill people. Inocent kids killing inocent people. This is our world. Of course, maybe this is not my world, because it is not happening here, where I am now. It doesn’t happen here in Australia, and for a lot of people that live here, this is not happening in their world. But it really happens in the world of other people, people like us.

Coincidence or not, we from Hillsong Church are helping a project called Watoto, which cares about the orphan child soldiers in Northern Uganda. Coincidence or not, some of these kids are coming for Hillsong Conference next week, and their choir will sing here full of hope; hope they didn’t have before. Coincidence or not, some people are giving their lives there in Northern Uganda to help these children, and giving them the hope someone stole from them. Coincidence or not, some people are giving what they have (money, time, prayers) to help these children.

We are the hands and feet of Christ, aren’t we? We don’t need to go to Africa to change our world and to be the light of Christ. We can find people needing help in our neighbourhood, and sometimes even inside our own house. We can make this situation and any situation around us to have more sense, can’t we? Unless we still want to live in a world of fiction.
