2006 101st Company of The Boys' Brigade
Sure and Steadfast
Jeffrey Khaw
Assistant Chaplain, 101st Boys' Brigade Company
To build men who will stand sure and steadfast for the glory of God. The 101st Company of the Boys' Brigade (BB) has barely passed the first half year of its existence. Yet, various major activities have taken place which have bonded relationships between the Boys and officers.

There was the trip to Rangsit Methodist Church, which exposed our Boys to church life in a different culture, and also to the Thai Boys' and Girls' Brigades of that church. Next came the annual Sharity Gift Box project, which saw the Boys working for weeks to ensure that delivery of the items to the needy families were taken care of. In the process, they learnt the importance of giving and sharing, and also the skill of working and cooperating in a group to get the work done efficiently. With the many events planned for the rest of this year, the Company is confident to impart invaluable experiences and to carve in the minds of those who come our way, memories that will last a lifetime.
Through the Eyes of an Officer
The Boys' Brigade (BB) is more than a voluntary organisation. It has proven to be a ministry that finds its influence in touching and changing the lives of the Boys that come under the wings of the officers. Somehow, the BB has touched the lives of the officers as well. Through the various meetings and fellowship sessions, we now see ourselves, not as mismatched individuals, but as a supportive group helping each other through parades, the frustrating times and also in our personal lives.
'To lead by example' - with fellow officers such as these, we are sure we can.
Reflections from a Boy
I recall the childish actions of my past, where games and personal adventures were all that mattered. Leadership and my responsibility toward others did not occur to me until I was prompted by the BB to take on roles that required me to lead. Through this, I managed to gain confidence in myself and discovered the potential for leadership that I did not know existed in me. Through the drill sessions, I was taught discipline. Through the various lessons, I was taught life skills. Mostly importantly, through the BB, I was brought to Christ.
