I'm glad that she's alrdy better and halfway through the battle! Continue to keep her in our prayers! Pray especially for the jab next thursday. She'll be back very soon indeed! Amen to that!

All thanks goes to our Lord Jesus Christ for continued blessings, grace and love to be upon Aunty Julia during this time of trials and tribulations.

- Updates on programme!

Coming sunday 23th April we going to have a video presentation. The video is entitled "The Cross" : Jesus in China.

Heard that it's a pretty good video. Charles told me it's quite tear inducing. lol. Look forward to it ya. Indeed they are so many ways we can learn more bout God. =]

We're blessed to be able to worship and praise God freely in Singapore. Let's not that take for granted!

Don out. God bless!

- Of being effective servants of God

3 things to note
- Christlike Character
- Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit
- Ministry Skills

I got this out of CWMC(condensed world mission course) held every wednesday in Church. Still 4 sessions left! I think those 3 points are very true. They must work in tandem to be a effective servant of God.

Without a Christlike character, we don't glorify God in what we do. =/ Let us all strive to focus on God and God only so that people can see the Jesus in us. Amen! =]

Without sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, we will be depending on our own guidance which is very limited and short sighted. Let us depend on the Holy Spirit which was given to us, to provide us divine guidance in our daily lives. We need to be sensitive to discern between the Holy Spirit's guidance and our own way of doing things. For God's ways are above us. =]

I must say personally I lack the sensitivity of the Holy Spirit, so i'm gonna work on it. Let yourself go and let the Holy Spirit led u instead.

With proper ministry skills, we are not just dangerous but also in danger. We lose faith in wat we do easily cos we cant do them well. We might also cause others to stumble due to inadequate training.

I think in whatever ministry we serve, we should seek to continually train ourselves to be better and more effective so that we can excel in that area of ministry and in turn glorify God's kingdom.

Don out. God bless.

- of a new start -

Hi guys, I (Don) will be taking over this blog from Ivan as he doesn't have much time on his schedule to update this blog.

So I started off by giving it a facelift, hopefully that "light bulb love" image brings back fond memories. Do check back often. I'll update often.

The purpose of this blog is for me to update you guys with what's going with the youth and also articles that are meaningful and helpful in our walk with Christ.

- Updates on Aunty Julia -

Aunty Julia just went through chemotherapy last wednesday (5th April 06). So she's still recovering now. Let's keep her in our prayers. This period is going to be alot of ups and downs for her as she will feel really depressed after every session of chemo.

But indeed as Aunty Julia has said "It is in my weakness that I see God's strength".
If God intended the suffering of the servant, perhaps we can perceive the possibility that God will bring good that we would not otherwise have experienced out of our suffering.

"And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" - Romans 8:28

This should drive us deeper into dependence on God and stimulate in us a deeper compassion for those who are suffering.

- YF programmes -

As you may alrdy know, 10 things a Christian had been stretched and more topical discussions will be coming up in between. Do look forward to a topical discussion on quiet time held by me, seok and charles. It should be somewhere in May. We are trying to restructure our programmes to be more creative in our approach of teaching the Word of God. We hope each sesssion of yf will not be a routine but a exciting day to learn and hunger for God's word.

- Christian Articles

As i do read up alot (both online and offline), i post alot of my important revelations on my blog's Christian section here. Do spend some time to browse and read through. Alot of those revelations had shaped me into who i am today. All my thanks goes to our Lord Jesus Christ.

- Prayer List -

There is a prayer request list i've put up in my blog. Let us recognise that prayers move mountains! =] Please, if there is anything you like me or us (seok, me, charles, yuki) to pray for you. Please go here and leave your prayer request as a comment (it'll be moderated before display, we respect ur privacy).

When you say "My God", what do you mean? Is it one that is great enough to cover your entire life(every aspect)? Yes, God is a big God, but u gotta let God be that big in your life. Unless your God is that big, then He is too small.

When the disciples saw Jesus pray, they realized they did not know how to pray. They saw how much time He gave to prayer and what it meant in His own life. They saw Him go into prayer in one mood and come out in another. As a result of His prayers, they saw things become different.

To them prayer had been a form but to Christ it was a FORCE!!!! Remember that how much you prayer will almost directly equals to how much you're reliant on God. The symbolic meaning of prayer is dependence on God.

Do you let prayer become a FORCE in your life? Or do you think you can make it on your own?

Let us spend some time to reflect on how big we let our God be in our lives...

Don out. God bless
