CG Potbless Welcoming Party (14/9/2007)

As you all know we're having a CG potbless Welcoming Party for the new intake of students. It'll be tentatively held on 14th of September (Friday) at my place (B2-9-3). The following is a summary of what we've discussed last week regarding this party.

Ice Breaker And Games : Troy, Chris & Eugene
Worship Coordinator : Kay Teck
Food Coordinator : Jui Jien & Sing Yee
Publicity : Richard, Lynn Xuan & Michelle
Ushers & Souvenirs : Pui Fun, Sean, Kiryu & Lily
Photographer : Sean


Events Line Up

7.00pm - All cg members are to come early and start preparing
7.30pm - Arrival and ushering of guests
8.00pm - Icer Breakers
8.15pm - Games
9.00pm - Dinner and interaction (annoucements)
11.00pm - End of party


The purpose of this party is to get to know the new students and also for them to know us better. This would be an opportunity for them to know more about our cg, what we usually do and also about DUMC. Evangelism is not our main priority here but please do so if you find the opportunity arises as you interact with the newbies.

Please pray over this event and ask God to speak to us what He wants us to achieve through this party. Pray that all the planning would go on smoothly and the party would be a success. I shall update further when I have more details.

Please remember to coordinate with Jui Jien and Sing Yee about the food that you want to bring. We don't want to waste food but we have to ensure there's enough too.

That's all for this update. On another note, there'll be no cg meeting next friday (31/8/2007) as it is the National Day and we're planning to go for morning prayer as a whole cg and also the prayer drive to Dream Center.

Do pay up RM5 on the next meeting for the cg fund. Thanks.

Till then, God bless.

Mission rocks

Hello people!! hows life? really long time never come cg n talk to all of u liao (trust me i really do wanted to come last fri =P chris told me you're gonna celebrate my birthday somemore)

Life for me has been really great, mission trip in cambodia is one of the best times in my life, the experience is truly unforgettable!! i do have so many things to share! let me start 1st with a funny incident in cambodia...

i was riding on a motorcycle driven by my interpretor as we were going to a church to preach, suddenly i was thristy, i reached for the bottle in my bag, opened the lid and was about to drink it. then... PAK! i forgot that i was wearing helmet! lol

ok there are many more funny incidents like dat (i hoped u laughed, when i told my team the loudest one laughing is aunty esther, our very own missionary)

This is a pic of me eating some cow dung, tastes good =)

here is a picture of my missionary team + aunty esther.. we really grew close to one another.. 9 days together ler...

What did i do over there u might ask? Well let me 1st say again that the experience of being used by God directly so so amazing, every morning i would thank God during our group devotion for such an exciting time for such an opportunity to impact lives.

Unlike the other mission teams that went to cambodia, we didn't have any children ministry (which is such a shame cause i do love kids, they taste good =P), home outreach or open preaching. Our goal was mainly to reach out to the youths in baray (where aunty esther stays) and kampot (where Ps kenneth and Yin Meng stays) by conducting the teachings in their youth camp. Let me start 1st with Kampot...

This is their 1st youth camp in Kampot, the youths actually didn't know what it means, they thought its like scouts camping thingy untill Yin Meng had to explain to them. So since its their 1st time, they wasn't as responsive to the teachings we had with them. Around 40 people came and at the end 3 people gave their lives to Jesus, i expected more but Praise God because to God these 3 lives turned to God is worth all our time there!

btw i really adore Kenneth's 2 son - jonathan and daniel. They think i'm troy volten lol

After 2 days we then travelled to Baray through Phnom Penh, straight away that night we had a revival meeting about having a passion for God preached by my team leader. Immediately i see the total change in spiritual atmosphere than that of in Kampot, these 100 youths that came were really hungry for God and the things of God. When the preaching starts all of them were so attentive, the way they listened and responded to the teaching truly put all of us to shame. At the end everyone responded to having a passion for Jesus. Praise God

After the revival meeting, our team had a debriefing, my team leader stressed again that now its time to step up and really be serious about our teaching, because this youths are really receptive they are really like good soil, and if we allow God to use us, the word of God will come and be multiplied 40 50 folds. At this i straight when back and looked through my teaching, i was suppose to pakat with my team leader and do a 2-part teaching of Serving one another in Love which is the theme of the camp. Thank God through His strength and power i believe that the teachings did leave a difference in their lives.

Youth camp in Baray

The camp lasted around 4 days.. seriously i super enjoyed the camp, the youths are so enthu for God but too bad i can't communicate with them =( The major highlight was the last day where they had a youth rally, 100 youth campers actually brought 400 friends to come for it. On that day trucks after trucks, filled with people came into the camp site, it was truly an amazing sight. Btw i dunno y but my team leader placed me in charge of the evangelistic messenge (whats wrong with her man lol), so u can imagine since the night before i was kan chiong spidering, i never felt so nervous before especially when th people start coming in and in and in.

As nervous as i am i prayed to God and said "Lord more than anything, more than praying for good english or fluent speech or good explaination, I pray that you'll use me as Your humble vessel, as Your mouth piece." And although i was still nervous, when i started my sermon i immediately felt the peace of God coming to me, i was able to interact with all of them like i was interacting with a group of friends. And at the end, around 200 people gave their lives to Christ! Praise God!! Looking back, i know that it is not anything that i've done or how good i am, but i'm so priveledge tat God in His mercy chose to use me to bring the good news to the non christians, therefore i really cannot boast about myself, but to boast about how great this God really is!!

After that we had R & R (rest and recreation) and we came back on the 14/8.

I still remember on th 15/8, when i was worshipping God at home and thinking about my experience in cambodia.. tears start flowing down my eyes, i really cannot imagine tat God not only chose all of us to be His children, but trusts us, sinful and stiffed neck people to carry out His will on earth, truly God's love is amazing.

One thing among many things i've learnt through this camp is by looking at the lives of these cambodian youths. Most of us (if not all of us) cannot even imagine what they're going through, i never had to worry about whether there was food to eat tomoro, or that i wouldn't have enough money to further my education, yet from their lives i see the joy of the Lord, i still see totally devotion and submission to Him. And i start to look at our lives, we become bitter and blame God even when facing the smallest inconvenience.

Not only did i see the love of God in their lives, i noticed their deep desire in spite of their hard circumstances, to stand and make a difference for God wherever they are. It causes me to look at myself and ask, am i making a difference in the area God has placed me in? And i've learnt through the teaching i've prepared that to make a difference, it is to start serving and loving the people around you, transforming them 1 by 1 by the love of God.

i believe tat in the same way God sent me to cambodia to reach out to the youths, He sends all of us to our family, to DUMC, to IMU to make a difference for Him. i can still remember the youths singing the song "making a difference" in the cambodia language, such a passion for God and people. Lets catch that passion! start looking for needs of people around You, and start to reach out and share the love of Christ to them today! And we'll make a difference 4 God!

i was the first aider there, openning ceremony. Yin Meng was in pain while i pose 4 tis pic =P

Cg for tommorrow (24/8/02007)

Hello peeps!!

How's all of you? Tommorrow there'll be cg at my place (B2-9-3) at 8pm as usual. Those who are in charge of ice breakers and worship, please please get ready everything you need. I do not know who is on duty for tommorrow, because the list is with Richard. However I'm sure he would have sms you guys or something to let you know. And those who are on duty (aka worship leader, ice breaker and Word) I suggest that you guys come earlier to my place to prepare (maybe by 7.45pm).

Ok another annoucement : This was sent by Vera (our zone leader)

Dear All,

There will be no CG on 31Aug. All of you are encouraged to attend the 5.30am prayer meeting followed by a drive to Dream Centre (DC) and a drive to the other Campuses to pray for them. Its going to be very Exciting.. I strongly encourge you all to come and sit together as a CG (since there is not cg). I also sugget we sit right in front on the left hand side. That area has been designated for CYZ and XYZ. I know more often than not the XYZ takes up the whole place ... but hey don't give up sp easily. Morn Payer is different. Come and sit there with me.. somehow there is a special anointing you can catch when you sit there.

Please make this announce at CG this Friday. I hope to have your commitment at CG Leaders, Assistant Leaders and Interns to be at the 530am Prayer Session on Aug 31. I also hope to sit together with all of you.

After all the "Hard Work" I'm opening up my Condo for all of you who come for the Prayer session / Drive to Chill out. For those who are not fasting...Lunch will be provided. I am hoping that we will use this time to get to know each other better. IF you want to go for a swim or play basketball .. bring the necessary equipment and appropriate clothing ya... Let's have some FUN together.

In Life we always want to move forward not backwards... ya...

CGL Pls confirm numbers for the lunch at my condo and reply via email or sms.


I'll bring this up again tommorrow in cg and we'll discuss how our cg's gonna go about this ya... See you all tommorrow.



*Ps : If you haven't read the Bible today, go pick a verse and meditate on it. Or at least read the verse that's on the sidebar of this blog... We need to be firmly rooted in the Word if we were to withstand the challenging times ahead.

This is good

One thing I really miss about DUMC is the balance the church has; charismatic yet also word based. Not perfect of course; yet learning together in mistakes.

A big church, yet utilizing the size not merely for big buildings, but to set up a drug rehab, a handicapped training centre and most recently, a drop in centre for the underprivileged.
A church that sends & encourages its members to go for missions; Cambodia, Nepal, Thailand & not merely short term missions, but long term workers.

The church is having a 3 week fast and daily 530 am prayer meetings.
Am encouraged my sister is going!

I really miss church back home.

Have a listen to this http://www.filefactory.com/file/dbeaeb/ if you are free.
My sister specially bought the cd, downloaded it over the web so that I can get my dose of sermon from Malaysia.

Really encourage you all to have listen even if u have listened to it in church cuz it is so true.

Traffic Ministry, anyone??

Hello peeps!! It's the weekend again and how's everyone doing? Hope you all had a great week and let's look forward to the new week.

As you all know, we're moving into Dream Center by 2nd of September. Dream center is a much bigger place, and that means we need more effort to maintain the place. All the ministries are definitely growing bigger because of the move.

Currently the one affected almost immediately is the Traffic Ministry. The need for traffic marshals has increased 4 fold. From the current 12 traffic marshals or so the need for traffic marshals has SHOT UP to 60 due to the nature of Dream Center aka DC(to quote Pr Mike). This is a great opportunity to serve if you're not already in any ministries.

An excerpt from Pr Mike's email :

What is involved in this ministry?

* Time commitment: Approximately 1 hour before and after celebration, on Saturday or Sunday, per fortnight. Usually this would mean that you attend the other celebration, and not the one you serve at.

* Christ-like attitude: Willingness to obey team leader's instructions and to firmly and cheerfully direct drivers to park in the appropriate spots.

* All-weather hardiness: Able to operate in drenching rain or scorching heat. Unafraid to tan a few shades darker.

* Cool gear involved: Get to use genuine walkies, light-stick and other stuff that might be deemed necessary. Here's your chance to wear those knock-out sunglasses you bought (or been wanting to buy)! Sorry...no standard issue sunglasses handed out. You get a chance to indulge yourself (with your own $$) a cool pair of shades of your own choosing and taste! : ) OK, I am looking out for a cool hat to beat the sun. Maybe, a Matrix-trench coat for the cold wintry nights. : ) OK. No trench coats. Maybe a full body Police-grade raincoat. ...maybe.... ..Umbrellas will definitely be provided.

* Opportunity to serve Jesus. OK, Jesus may not have driven a car (He DID drive ... demons out from man and animals, but ....sorry, corny joke!) but He did say, that if you do something to serve even the least, you would have done it to Him (Mt 25:40). So there, ...you can direct Jesus to a parking spot. : )

Peeps if you're not serving in any ministries yet I encourage you to join this. Even if you're in a ministry already you can still serve in this if you have the time. Do go and talk to the members of this ministry eg. Emmanuel, Reuben, Jason, Jun Hwei or Chen Lei about it and find out more. According to Pr Mike both guys and gals can apply. Please let Pr Mike know asap if you're interested. If you need his number sms me. Thanks.

Gift of Pain

My former roommate in college introduced this book Gift Of Pain to me a couple of years back. She mentioned some snippets from the chapters she read. She told me that every medical student should read this book.

I only got to read the book after I completed my A Levels. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It depicts the experiences of Dr Paul Brand in his life journey from a child of a missionary in India to becoming a renowned hand surgeon and leprosy expert. He relates many challenges while practising in the poor regions of India.

Read the book review here.

After reading this book, I came to realise the importance of pain in our lives. How ignorant some of us are when we just take pain killers to forget about the pain. Read the book yourself to find out the true gift of pain.

I recommend everyone to read this book. I have the book with me in Vista. I don't mind lending it to anyone. Just alert me. Even my former Malay housemate read that book out of interest. She was actually reading it during our A Levels exam period some more.

Title: Gift of Pain
Author: Dr Paul Brand, Philip Yancey
Publisher: Zondervan

A WORLD WITHOUT PAIN?

Can such a place exist? It not only can—it does. But it’s no utopia. It’s a colony for leprosy patients: a world where people literally feel no pain, and reap horrifying consequences.

His work with leprosy patients in India and the United States convinced Dr. Paul Brand that pain truly is one of God’s great gifts to us. In this inspiring story of his fifty-year career as a healer, Dr. Brand probes the mystery of pain and reveals its importance. As an indicator that lets us know something is wrong, pain has a value that becomes clearest in its absence.

The Gift of Pain looks at what pain is and why we need it. Together, the renowned surgeon and award-winning writer Philip Yancey shed fresh light on a gift that none of us want and none of us can do without.

Reminder!!

Ok people...
Just a reminder that we're having CG MEETING (friday 17/8) at Kay teck's place (B-13-4) at 8pm!!!
Whoever wants to join us feel free to come!!

Worship : Kay Teck
Ice Breaker : Troy

So be prepared and remember to bring whatever you need for ice breaker and Worship yeah!!See you all!!!

As a cg, let us come before God in fasting and praying for the nation and also for the transition to Dream Centre.

God Bless!!

Facts of the Matter

Following is this week's Facts of the Matter

Five Defining Disciplines Of Growing Followers Of Christ

1) Consistent Quiet Time: "After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountain side by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone..." (Matthew 14:23) (See Joshua 1:8)

If you don't already have a consistent time alone with God, ("Quiet Time") set aside a few minutes each day and ponder your way through a few verses in the Bible and then say a prayer. Start with a small portion in the New Testament. Underline passages or verses that capture your attention. Memorize verses for strength, courage, usability and faith. One Christian leader suggests that we pray backwards through yesterday step by step, and forward through today. Praying backwards will lead to prayers of thanksgiving and confession, while praying forward will lead to prayers of supplication.


2) Organized Bible Study: "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly." (2 Timothy 2:15, 16) (See Proverbs 4:23)

Someone once asked Billy Graham, "If you were a pastor of a large church in a principle city what would be your plan of action. To which Graham responded, "One of the first things I would do would be to get a small group of eight or ten or twelve men around me that would meet a few hours a week and pay the price. It would cost them something in time and effort. I would share with them everything I have learned, over a period of years. Then I would actually have twelve ministers who in turn could take eight or ten or twelve more and teach them." (I wonder where he got that idea?) In my years of discipling I have never known a man whose life has been significantly changed apart from regular Bible study.


3) Accountability Group: ".Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." (James 5:16a) (See Galatians 6:1,2)

Most of our conversation is at the news, sports, and weather level. Few men are accountable. Accountability has the idea of being regularly answerable for the key areas of our lives to responsible people. Here are four areas of accountability:

1) Answerable: To be willing to give an account for the goals you have set and the standards of God's word in your life.
2) Regularly: Consistently examining the different areas of our lives, lest they deteriorate (like an un-kept car).
3) "Key Areas" Include relationships with God, spouse, children, financial decision, career, integrity, and temptation.
4) Qualified People: Look for people who will be transparent, vulnerable, and confidential. Find people of spiritual wisdom and skill.


4) Active Church Involvement: "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching." (Hebrews 10:24, 25) (See Matthew 18:20)

We're talking here not about church attendance, but church involvement, which translates into fellowship, encouragement, and mutual worship of God in a local church.


5) Personal Ministry: "You have heard me teach many things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Teach these great truths to trustworthy people who are able to pass them on to others." (2 Timothy 2:2) (See I Peter 4:11)

As you practice the four spiritual disciplines above, you will begin to experience a closer, personal love relationship with Christ. It will be out of that overflow that you will naturally want to reach out to others in helping them discover Christ and grow in that relationship with him.

There you go... The last bit of the pictures... Enjoy!!

Negaraku

Well, Im not talking about the youtube scandal "negarakuku".

I cant believe I cried when my flight left the soil of Malaysia when taking off. It's my home and always be my home.

Have you wonder why MAS has always had their airline code as MH? What does it signifies? There isnt any H word written in MALAYSIA, or AIRLINES, or MALAY? hahaaha.... so what does it signify? It had always been a BIG QUESTION mark whenever I travel with MH....

Well, Mr. Idris, the director of MAS ( I must said He had lead MAS to greater heights, a home grown world renowned company) said this: MH = Malaysian Hospitality. It is not merely an airline with a cool airline code, with beautiful young stewardress, But the beauty is this: Its a company that employs 18,000 hosts ( get it, not employees, but hosts) Each one of them: from ground staff, steward, pilot, the engineers and yada yada are trained as hosts.

Enough of promoting MAS, hahaa.... Main point is: we should not only extend our hospitality to foreign tourist, but to our all fellow mates. Black or white. Muslim or non-muslim. Tall or short. Fat or thin.

TO cut it short, this coming 2 weeks is National Day, a day which we commemorate not only independence from colonisation, but we enjoy the previlege of religion independence under the Malaysian Constitution.

PS: CRZ, u look a bit of the thais due to your dark skin, and small eyes. :>

dedications

feeling a little sentimental this rainy morning..
here's a dedication to those who have left deep footprints in my life..


Sarah Ong
i've never got the opportunity to know you as much as i would like to say i had.. but from the little that i know of you, you've thought me so much.. your life has taught me integrity, to walk the talk and practice what we preach.. you've taught me the meaning of faith.. to leave everything in God's hands and make the best of everything that we have.. to rejoice thru all toils n trials for we know we have the victory in Him who is in us...

Philip Ong

Updates!!

Hello people!! Wonder how are all of you doing... Having a nice week?

Just a gentle reminder that this week's cg would be at KAY TECK's place rather than my place. It's at B-13-4. Take note of the change of venue.

Same time (8pm).

Oh yeah, next week monday will be the start of 21-day Fast and Prayer. Starting on 13th of August and ending on 2nd of September, which will be the day we have our 1st celebration in Dream Center.(Praise God!! The place is seriously huge and awesome!!)

I encourage you guys to go for the fast and prayer. It's not going to be easy (Food is part of Malaysian gene!!) but I believe we'll experience a breakthrough in our spiritual walk with God. This will also be my first time fasting (very challenging for me) so it'll be more encouraging if we are able to keep each other accountable. Let us try to do this together as a cg!!

Will tell you guys more this friday when we meet!! God bless...

Kenneth's Farewell Part 2

The continuation of previous pics...

Land Garel had great fun meddling with chopsticks even though he didn't know how to use it... (notice how he holds them...)

Steamboat in the centre and grilling at the sides... For a moment it looked like intestines in the bowl...

This is what happen when you don't behave yourself in a public area... Someone accidentally overturn the whole bowl of hot soup onto the table... *tsk tsk*

The culprit was either HIM or him... Blaming each other now... Hahaha sometimes they're just like kids...

Unhappy with his own "overturned" grilling set, Chris came and conquered our set instead...

There's more in part 3...

Kenneth's Farewell Dinner, Part 1

Below are some of the pics we took during cg just now. Decided to upload it asap so all of you can see the pics...

Playing cards while waiting for cg to start. Most of the guys were hiding in my room putting up the farewell gift. Kenneth wasn't supposed to know about the plan to celebrate for him (but I think he did...)

Look at his happy face!! The cake must have looked good... Yummy!!

Kenneth : I'm warning you to stay away from me!!
Richard : Let me give you a goodbye kiss lar...

The whole cg taking a pic together... So family-like...

The whole cg went to "Restoran Talipon" in Kuchai Lama after that...

There's more pics... I'll upload in the next post!!

The Secret

Hey ppl, I got this mail which is written by Pr. Mike. Do take your time to read it and give it a thought or two...

Dear all,

Lies are lies and are especially dangerous and destructive when they have to do with the very nature of Reality. "The Secret", a 'NYT best-selling' book has been promoted by celebrities (e.g. Oprah Winfrey in her show), and is in our bookstores. If you have not heard or seen it, you definitely will. This book does not "attack" the basis of faith in the way The DaVinci Code does, but its deceptively attractive nature of its message is FAR MORE dangerous.

If I were to be kind about it, I would describe it as a re-packaging of the old "positive thinking" success literature. If I were less kind, I would describe it as 21st century Dummies' introduction to the Occult, courtesy of the formerly in-vogue New Age movement. (BTW, the Church has also gotten confused about these things over the last 20 years with the "name-it-and- claim-it- in-Jesus- name" lies-masquerading- as-Bible- teaching. )

Pass this attachment around to your cellies. We MUST teach ourselves that the ONLY REALITY is what God's Word says it is. The Bible MUST be our Truth-measuring- stick.

Do not be misled by nice-sounding and comforting words. Always check it and the very idea of it, against Scripture.

Shalom
Pr Mike

So yeah, always check with the Bible.

Farewell....
