Walking the Mountains & Valleys
Faith! What a wonderful post. so encouraging. the timing of your post is just right, coming to me and giving me a reminder of God's faithfulness!
Dear Ones,
Brandon, Caleb, Jonathan, Joseph, Faith, Sheena, Ben, David.
I've been spending some time over the past few days. looking back and just remembering how far all of you have come.
2 moments always stick in my mind:
*the 1st Unified Youth Camp in June 2006. i can remember praising God when so many put up their hand and made the decision to follow Jesus, Liang Rong was one of the 1st hands up.
*1st July 2006, in the kitchen. when Nic told me that Caleb, Faith & Sheena opened their hearts to God.
These are some of the memories that i thank God for.
And every time I see the signs of growth in all of you, i praise God:
*When i received David's sms encouragement yesterday morning for the seminar
*When Joseph reminded us about QT
*When Faith posted such a meaningful post.
*When some of you open up and share and come forward for prayer
*when you all willingly share your testimonies
Constantly, i thank God for all of you. and i thank God for the privilege and honour He has given me, to be able to guide and share with all of you.
My prayer for all of you is that you learn to support one another, to help and to serve one another out of love.
Watch out and cover each other in love and prayer. learn to stand on your own faith, and may your faith lead and bless others into the kingdom of God.
I hope that you have learnt something over all these past months. remember, don't follow something, just because i told you or forced you.
instead, learn the heart of it. some times if i have been hard on you, i want you to remember: it is only out of love for you and love for Christ, that i do all i do.
Follow only if your heart truly believes it and you really want to do it. let everything you do, be done out of faith.
remember, we must not become Christian "actors"! dont do things to please others, but honour God in all you do!
Be the real deal cos we are weak, but God is Strong! Amen?
let your faith rise up, rise up on the wind of the Holy Spirit. Not by my instructions or because you are afraid i will "korean style" you (ask joseph what is this)!
Love God's people
Don't lose hope in people, because we have a faithful God!
Go in God's Holy Spirit, not in our own strength!
Look far, and be strong in the faith now! God has a wonderful plan for you. some doors may close, some opportunities are lost; But pray and seek God: see the NEW doors He will open up for you!
Loving all of you, praying for all of you. =)

Early Morning
I'm sitting here at 745am in the lobby of a hotel writing this post =)
How's everyone been? I believe many of us have been going through some ups and downs over the past few weeks.
some of us struggle through work or school or in our relationships at home or with friends.
sometimes life seems so tough, sometimes boring, sometimes we may end up wondering what's the point of it all....
if you have been feeling like that, i want to encourage you to press on!
Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,
I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
Philippians 3:13-14
leave the past behind, forget about mistakes made and look forward! Think future, think heaven-ward!
Our present troubles shape us and give us a chance to build up our faith.
Sometimes life will get us down, but we just need to look to Jesus!
When you remember this, the next time you are walking alone at night or in the morning, on a nice cloudy day -
LOOK UP! look up and be reminded that God who made heaven and earth so beautiful, He made you as well, and He knows the plan He has for you! =)
Have a good rest this friday, since there is no cell meeting, spend time with your family, spend time resting, spend time along with God =)

CONGRATULATIONS!!! so what's next?
- Joseph
- Caleb
- Sheena
- David
- Brandon
Today was really a special moment for all of us I believe. It is truly a wonderful time for me personally, to see you all getting baptised today!
Baptism is one step forward, so what is next? For all of us, I really want you all to continue to pray for our dear Faith, that one day soon she will not only get baptised, but that her whole family will come joyfully to witness it! - This is a day I am looking forward to!
But for all us, everyone. it is time to move forward, from being the one sponsored, to becoming a sponsor! move to the next level quickly so that i can retire from being your Chief Nagger =P
I want everyone - Jonathan, Joseph, Brandon, Ben, David, Caleb, Faith, Sheena. to fulfill 3 things
Quiet Time - 7 Days a week. God is eager to spend time with you! Are you? (Joseph)
Prayer - keep your family, cell members and friends in prayer daily. pray for yourself as well - to become an Intentional History Maker! (Brandon)
Outreach - focus for the remainder of the year to pray for 2 persons to come to Christ (siblings inclusive)! (Jonathan)
I will ask Joseph/Brandon/Jonathan to be responsible to hold all of us accountable for these 3 areas till the end of 2007.
Our walk with God is a long one, a marathon. so keep yourself fit! =) GBU!
ps: if you have read this post, i want you to send an sms to someone in our cell and tell that person you are keeping that person in prayer!
Are you willing to be a History Maker & Destiny Shaper?
3 types of History Makers
Prophetic in Vision: Speaking the words of God, a vision from the heart of God, placed on our hearts. His calling to us, that drives us, pulls us and motivates us!
progressive: always moving forward, never settled with the status quo
pro-active: bringing God's best into every aspect in everything God has given us to do; Bringing Glory to God. Act on their plans
I'm going to be passing around this audio sermon by Ps Benny Ho. I hope all of you will be willing to listen and hear & be blessed and Challenged by the Word of God!
live an intentional life, a life of purpose. in your hearts, all of you slowly, but surely, are beginning to sense that Call of Destiny that is from God. He's calling you forward in His Still Small Voice. slowly, but surely! Amen?
SO EXCITED FOR YOUR BAPTISM! i think i may shed a tear :) Blessed be the Name of the Lord! He is faithful beyond all measure!
- Accidental History Maker (You stumble into your destiny, not on purpose)
- Situational History Maker (You enter into a situation or a place, where you cannot help but do something for God)
- Intentional History Maker (A purposeful choice, a decision. Will you make this choice? To Hear God & Obey Him?)

thank u all :)
Dear Kairos =)
Once again, thank 4 blessing! i had a wonderful time with all of u today at cell.
I think that everyone has grown more open and comfortable with one another (or is it because of the makan!?)
Thanks Sheena & family for opening up their home to us. i really felt today that all our sharings and testimonies has planted some seeds in sheena's family members. when we open our homes to God and the fellowship of His people, there is a transforming power, something changes in the air, in the spiritual atmosphere - as our praises rise up to heaven, the Glory of God comes down upon us! When 2 or 3 gather in His name, Jesus is there with us! WoW! JC was in-da-house today! Amen?
nothing is more powerful that being able to see the transforming power of God thru someone's life! Keep shining brightly and one day "You and your household will be saved" (Acts 16:31)
thanks everyone for opening up and sharing with one another - keep growing in this, deeper and deeper, be a support and blessing to one another.
it is when we share our lives with one another that we grow from each other's experience. somehow, today the sharing was exceptional, everyone today so awake and full of excitement n energy! Praise God =)
remember that there's 3 parts:
Love focus on building up - focus on each other's strength and encourage and build each other up
Love never supports what is wrong and sinful - if your bro or sis is in sin or falls away from God, bring him/her back, keep them in prayer.
Love is also willing to say the difficult things. to say the hard things in Love.
thanks too today for mike joining us, and Ivan too! hope you enjoyed listening in on our cell =)

Proud of U =)
Dear Kairos!
hope everyone had a wonderful time fellowshipping n praising God at FOP!
as i was standing there worshipping, i was reminded again of God's faithfulness to us.
1 yr ago when we went to FOP, most of you were only Christians for 1 month and yet God has kept you and blessed you thru 2 another year!
we don't deserve the blessings, yet His Grace is always with us. Amazing Grace that saved us.
my prayer for you is that you continue 2 stand firm in the Lord, keep growing deeper in love with Him, loving His Word and running after Him!
in a few weeks time you will be going for baptism - that is a special moment in your walk with God. and a special moment for me as well, that God has given me the privilege of seeing you all grow up in Him.
many of you are working through deeeper issues inside of you, some from your past, some from things that are happening to you right now. just remember that it is part of growing - that God begins to bring about that deep inner healing within you as the Holy Spirit works in you. it may be hurtful, it may be tough...but keep holding on to Him, hold on by Faith, not by sight, Hold on in Love, not by feelings.
keep trusting God =)
