On Saturday evenings my parents alongside my brothers and I would have street meeting opposite the market place in Arima where we engaged in singing and my father preaching the gospel encouraging people to surrender their lives to Jesus. My brothers and I used to enjoy giving out tracks to people (man, woman or child). We were very brave as children never afraid of ridicule or our friends laughing at us. Everyday my mom would wake us at 5.00am in the morning to have family devotion. My parents took turns in administering the scriptures and gave us a scripture verse to learn after which we would hold hands and pray.
I asked my Step-Father, he realized that I knew nothing about the church. He started to question me and saw that I always have assumed it was just family and friends gathering around and sharing the stories at nice brick building. On that night, he took his time to introduce me to Jesus Christ and explained about how He created the Earth and His life on the Earth. After that, he made sure that I had a Sign Language Interpreter at our church for the rest of my life. For twenty years, I was very involved in my church such as serving, praying, signing, and teaching.
He preached hope and salvation to them. His concern was to lead people to Christ and or them to have a church for further spiritual guidance. By 1874, Booth had about 1000 volunteers and 42 evangelists, who served under the name “The Christian Mission.” His followers called him the “General”. They became known as the ‘Hallelujah Army.” They spread out to the East End of London and to other cities.

Alan seems to accept the replacement of “[t]he Christ …loaded down with chains, and the centurions…really laying on the stripes” (45) with a “remarkable picture” (45) of a horse with eyes “staring straight at you” (45). On one side Alan has his mother “night after night having [the bible] read into him” (34) and his father on the other side atheist, and tries “to put a stop to it” (34). The poster of a crucified Jesus represents a spiritual and sacred figure, until his father “threw it in the dustbin” (45) and replaces it with the image of a horse that seems to suffice a messiah. Alan then focuses spiritual mentality on the horse as he treats the new photo as a god-like figure when he “knelt down” (51) infront of it, and chant to it “like the bible” (50).
“He became a little child” (line 16). On Christmas, a child was born to serve the world and he was call Christ. In the early years people used lamb for sacrifices to their gods. In the bible it is said that Jesus was crucified on the cross for our sins. This means he sacrificed he life for us.
A retreat always helps me be hundred percent faithful in god but after sometime I loose it and I become lazy. The year of faith is a year when all Catholics turn towards Jesus Christ, and encounter him in the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist and rediscover Faith and Church. During the Year of Faith, Catholics are asked to study and reflect on the documents of Vatican II and the catechism so that they may deepen their knowledge of the faith. This is an opportunity for Catholics to experience conversion and get in a deeper relationship with Jesus. This year the Year of Faith will be celebrated between October 11,2012 and November 24,2012.
She then goes to the Hsus' house which felt, “heavy with greasy odors.” (Tan 15) She acts very courteous to everyone and respects the wishes of her elders as displayed when she accepts to take her mother’s place at the mahjong table. She feels out of place because she is younger than everyone else, and she finds out that her mother had made excuses for her to the other members. Although June dropped out of college, her mother told them that she might go back for a degree. “..but I know right away she’s lying. I know my mother probably told her I was going back to school to finish my degree.” (Tan 27) As the chapter is coming to an end and the night is at its peak, Jing-Mei starts to get up to leave but when the women stop her and tell June that her mother had left behind two infant twin daughters in China, she was shocked.
