I spent nearly a year in the beautiful city of Cebu, Philippines (called the Queen City of the South), and worshipped the Lord along with some wonderful and passionate people in Citichurch. It was an awesome experience and I had my wife with me enjoying and celebrate God's goodness with these people.
We're originally from Cagayan de Oro City and just moved to Cebu for a year to work, earn, and save some money that we needed for our family. Then God led us to Citichurch and blessed us with so many friends and granted us favor.
Here's one article that Cathy Chiong, a worship leader from Citichurch, posted in our Facebook group page that has blessed me a lot and I just want to share this with all of you. I believe it was taken from the book: The Heart of the Artist (by Rory Noland) - A Character Building Guide for Worship Ministry/Team
1. Volunteers see their involvement at church as community service, but people called of God see it as ministry.
2. Volunteers whine about what it’s going to cost to serve, but people who are called are committed to serving.
3. Volunteers shrink back from resolving relational conflict, but people called of God seek to resolve relational conflict for the sake of unity in the church.
4. Volunteers look upon rehearsal as another commitment they’re obligated to fulfill, but people called of God look forward to rehearsal as another opportunity by God.
5. Volunteers do no outside practicing or preparation, but people who are called of God come to rehearsals and a performance as prepared as possible.
6. Volunteers are not open to constructive criticism; they get defensive about it. But people called of God are grateful for feedback because they want to be the best they can be.
7. Volunteers feel threatened by the talent of others, but people called of God praise Him for distributing gifts and talents as He chooses.
8. Volunteers want to quit at the first sign of adversity or discouragement, but people called of God dig in and persevere.
9. Volunteers find their main source of fulfillment in their talents and abilities, but people called of God know that being used of God is the most fulfilling thing you can do with your life.
10. Volunteers can’t handle being put in situations in which they’re going to be stretched, but people called of God respond to God’s call with dependence on Him.
