The Painting of LifeSpring Children’s Home!
“Living Beyond Myself”
It was a day filled with fun, lots of hard work, colourful paint and super tired revivalites!
But at the end of the day, the LifeSprings home was transformed into a colourful abode that brought life to all who stays there.
The day started with some 40+ revivalites and guests getting into a convoy and heading down to Balakong. After an energy boost of a char siew pao, it was off to work.
It started with lots of cleaning and moving around furniture. Dusting and making space. A great team effort it certainly was!
With many hands, the clearing was all done and all the things were very ‘neatly’ arranged outside, to make space for the painting to begin.
We had an experience professional who did the beautiful science of getting the colours right
Once the colours was good to go, the painting could finally begin
At the same time, we had a group of artists who creatively came up with a design on the outside wall of the home and very painstakingly planned it.
And it soon began to take shape.
Then with some finishing touches… it was almost complete. All that was left was for the kids to put their own mark on the it!
Somewhere along the way, hunger began to spring up. Thankfully, lunch wasn’t too far away.
After almost 6 hours of work, the house began to take shape with vibrant colours so vividly coming to life
There was just enough time left to plant a daun pandan plant for future use.
And for tired bodies to catch 40 winks
All in all it was a wonderful time of fellowship, fun, hard yet rewarding work. It was wonderful to see so many revivalites join hands for a great cause, spreading the love of Jesus. Great job to all those involved and the Young Adults who spearheaded this. And also to all our friends who joined us to spread some cheer and laughter and do their fair share of work.
