your group is the oldest in malaysia. so

remember,
many people have run before you.
except yours is a bit strange -
it's a relay race with 12 people running together.
today's handover meeting is significant
because the old is passing the baton to the new.
when you get tired, when you fall,

remember,
one,
that people are running with you.
two,
that God is running with you.

sometimes you will wonder why you run,
sometimes you will forget.

remember,
whoever called you to this committee,
there must have been something that made you want to accept this.

remember,
because it will be what keeps you going.

remember,
to keep a willing heart to serve where God calls,
a learning heart to always learn.

never be exclusive as a committee member.

remember,
that there were those who knew you
before you became a committee member.

it's going to be an exciting race,
and you are all very brave for running it.
