Thanksgiving Video

Wow..really really really thank God for zicai, who has come along & helped me to come out with the thanksgiving video. When i got to know that every region die die must produce a performing item for the coming Thanksgiving service, i was like..err..! Right in the middle of my holiday trip at Hanoi. Haha..the morale of the story is not to assess to internet even while you are on holidays, as whatever information received might affect your mood of enjoyment. Well, i couldn't say the news affected me or shook me, but rather it spinned my thinking cap of what to do. Then suddenly, as if there was a magic wand strike on my head (the fact is God is the one), a thought set in. YES! DO A VIDEO!
Haha..the rest fell into place by approaching different individuals to give thanks to God for all that He has done in their lives. More ideas came in-thank God for healing, salvation, provision etc. And then within a span of one week plus, my dear zicai (Jac, don't get jealous huh?) GOT THE JOB DONE. What a cool guy! Thanks bro. Owe you a meal.

Christmas Thanks

Christmas is round the corner. While everyone is busy shopping, feasting & buying gifts for loved ones & friends, i can't help but be thankful for all that God has done & is still doing in my life.

2008 has been a fruitful year for couple of reasons:

1. Because i am now more closer to God, as my prayer life & personal devotion grew in another notch.
2. Because i am now more attached to my region, though still trying my best to get to know them deeper.
3. Because i have supportive & faithful leaders, who are dedicated to serve God & His people.
4. Because i have made more new friends, especially those younger ones, so that i can contribute into their lives.
5. Because i experienced another level of ministry & serving, not just in terms of skills, but more in the building & nurturing of lives.
6. Because i could travel to more places, as this is what i always love to do. (pastors also must know how to relax themselves)
7. Because i was able to reach the target goal of reading the number of Christian books within this year.

As Christmas is drawing near, remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season. Nothing & no one can beat the sweet love of Jesus, so let's share His love to others in this festive season. He is the Reason we live, praise God!

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Rom 8:38-39)

May i wish you life, joy & peace, even more abundantly.

Blessed Christmas!

Gorgeous

Thank you God for creating such beautiful, gorgeous & wonderful creations.
May you keep them strong & safe in your hands!

A Happening Day (Story)

On 15 Dec, a group of us decided to go for a break! A break to Malacca for a day outing.
It was a fun filling day, where 3 cars sped at different speeds, but all looked out for each other in close view.

Like the HK promotion, we eat and shop, eat and shop. First to the Nonya restaurant for our lunch, then before we decided to cheong for our seafood dinner, we took a breather at one HK cafe. At the start of the journey, we went with empty hands but in the end, you would know we came back with tons of bags. Clothes, shoes, Christian stuff & FRUITS! Yes, cannot believe right? Well, we are talking about shopping leh..so what's new?

After travelling on the road for almost 3 hours, we decided to pump petrol at the kiosk before heading for our dinner. Then something terrible happened. One of us was robbed right at the kiosk & the robber sped off in a motorbike within split seconds. We learnt that it is a common thing in that area. How come the security is so lapse since this is rampant? I wondered.
Since passports were lost, we have to file for police report. If not, the family would not be able to return back home. The amazing thing is that it took us almost 30 mins to find one police station & it was not even outstanding at all. I really wondered!
By the time we finished everything & crossed over to home immigration, it was almost 11. We were farmished, but who cares. Everyone just wanna get back home asap.

What an episode to end the day outing!
Great lessons to be learnt:

• Never think that such things will not happen to you.
• Be watchful & careful at all times.
• Lock the car door regardless if there is passenger or not.

Most of all, thank God for His protection.

MIA Blogger is Back!
