Dear Brother and Sister,

Shalom and great day to all of you, i’m reading Life on Purpose for Men. It’s a daily devotional book which helps me to grow with practical faith and profound insight to know God for everyday. I know each one of you are reading through Bible and some christian books everyday, why don’t we keep this as a blessing to our CG as i would like to invite and encourage all of you to share your thoughts each time God touches you with His words. We want to grow together and we want to see more of God’s leading in us. Let’s encourage one another with God’s word and we shall see more of His plan for us. =) I really appreciate if everyone can take part and respond through writings in email or sharing powerful testimony during CG. Thanks for your partnership in Christ!

Here are something i want to share on Waiting for God’s BEST!

Have you been working on your own accord to try to “make something happen” in your life? Maybe it’s a relationship or job issue and many times we choose to think that maybe we can “help God” by trying to make something happen… but Brother and sister, often time when we do so we will miss out on God’s best for us! We ought to be like David who had to do a lot of waiting in his life and was blessed beyond belief by God. In Psalm 27: 14, David says : 14 Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

Dear brother and sister, whatever it is, slow down and wait patiently on God’s timing. Begin today to move at God’s perfect pace and receive all that he has planned for you.

Isaiah 30:18

18 Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you;
he rises to show you compassion.
For the LORD is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for him!

Let’s pray together

” Lord, You know how hard waiting is for me. Please give me the patience I need to wait for your perfect timing in everything. Help me not to settle for second best. When I’m tempted to “make something happen”, speak to my heart and remind me what my impatience can cost me. Help me to not only wait, but to do so with a good attitude. Thank you for all the blessings You have in store for me.”

For our quarterly Good Samaritan Ministry (GSM) project, we have organised a visitation to Rumah Hope in Taman Paramount on Saturday, 12th May 2007. A group of us consisting of Rekha care group members, Jessie, Eunice, Chee Lim, Khim, Chee Chuan, Set Yee, Set Ling and Peter joined this visitation.

Accommodating 59 children and 11 staff, the orphanage is huge with facilities such as playground, study hall, canteen, library, church and dormitories. The children age group range from 6 to 18. The biggest group is primary school with 37 children, followed by 21 secondary school children and 1 kindergarten child.

First of all, I would like to thank Chee Lim’s group and organising committee for raising a fund of RM100 for the children. We have also managed to bless the children with few sets of single line and square buku latihan for the children. Also big thank you to Justine’s dad for his generous contribution of 6 packets of milo, 3 boxes of biscuits and 1 box of mugs for the children.

Next, a quick summary on the visitation. Simon was the spontaneous and entertaining chairperson of that afternoon. It was very encouraging that even though he sprained his ankles a few days before that, he did a fabulous job controlling the event, entertaining the children with a energy game (“Kung fu”), and singing Spongebob song. Thanks!

After the “Kung fu” game, Rekha, and our 2 faithful guitarists Keh Seng and Chee Lim led the children to short praise and worship session. The songs chosen were simple action songs that allowed the children to sing and do the actions along. Thanks team!

Tea time followed after praise. The children had curry puff, ice-cream and yummy egg sandwiches prepared by Set Yee and Chee Chuan. Thanks girls.

Our last activity with the children was the costume game led by Justine. Thank God due to a song rehearsal that majority of the children need to attend, the number of children has reduced to a much more manageable size. The remaining children were split into 3 groups and given the task to dress a member of the group according to the theme cartoon characters. We had a short fashion parade of the characters – 1 Winx Club fairy, 1 Cinderella and 2 teen titans designed by our young and creative fashion designers. As 1 of the judges, it was not easy to grade as all 3 teams did a wonderful job. I would like to thank the brothers and sisters who assisted the groups in designing the costumes.

The finale was the prize giving ceremony to award the winner of the “Kung fu” game – Jenny, and the winning group who designed the costume for the 2 teen titans. Each child was also given a personal gift – pencil for kindergarten and primary school group and a file for secondary school group. Really appreciate Chee Chuan for accompanying me and helping to choose the personal gifts on the morning itself. Also thank you Connie for advising us on what to get.

Once again, my heartfelt thank you to all the PICs (including photographers) and other care group members who have supported this event. Also want to appreciate Rekha, Natalie, Simon, Justine, Bryan and Andrew for sacrificing their Friday night rest to join me in shopping for group games gift and other items for the event. Without everyone’s help, the event will not be a success.

The little one can kick!!! How wonderful!

You all got the email form seow lee on perodua viva.

Here’s my take on it.
I went to see the car the day it was launched. During lunch I when there to get a good look. The car looks nice. Much bigger than kelisa. Spacious inside, boot space is good. All cars come with EFI even on 660cc. Very impressive. Auto only on 1L versions (660 & 850 no Auto). Main difference between the 660cc, 850cc and 1L versions are the features in the car. The 1L versions has adjustable seat height, side mirror signals, airbags and other accesories. Which after speaking to sales person and technician can be installed on other versions without any issues. Just like the unpainted bumper on 660 version, cost rm300+ to paint that.

For me, 1 less part, is 1 less part to spoil, and repair, and PAY Instalment and Interest for.

A lot of parts of the inside of viva is salvage from kelisa and kancil and myvi. Like dashboard, A/C vent, it even has the kelisa stereo player position on top of the dashboard. 660cc gets a cassette player, 1L gets a CD player. Big deal… A Branded CD/CD-R/RW/MP3 player can be had at Brothers for RM290 (without installation). Bulb rear red lights are a dissappoinment compare to LED on Myvi. Other than that the car is good and worth the money. Mainly, you don’t have to change car when kids arrived.

Why I m so interested ? ….

I m looking for a new car.

Hi bros and sisters..

last night after CG, I called Casey to see how is everything in JB. Praise the Lord he has so many testimonies to share to us..
1. God has brought him to a nice house with washing machine and water filter. This will save him a lot of time.
2. God also brought him to meet Ps Kwong Lie and Sis Lena and he now has a shepherd and a care group. His Care Leader is Felicia, and she looks like Jessie (Verbatim from Casey).

Let’s pray that God will continue to help Casey to grow as he will be in JB on his own, away from his family.

And his final words before he said bye bye was thank you for all your calls, sms and concern. He is very touched and he would like us to continue praying for him.

God Bless everyone!!!

1. Pray for unity in the church
2. New contact for the WA group, a good hearted & want to know more about God.
3. Pray for student group will raise up a new leader after Hun Pin, Gek Ling & Set Lee (HP, GL & SL r student group leaders) go for ind training
4. Pray for the fund raising project, everything will run smoothly & manage to get a good condition van
5. Pray for a shepherd for me (Ernest), a shepherd that really can click with me and willing to listen to my problem and provide me some practical advice.

Here’s a prayer request from David and Mei Lai who have gone over to UK and they have been trying so hard to reach out to the neighbourhood, please pray for the following:

“Thank you to hear that the whole of your unit is going to pray for us in UK. Just to let you know, we have few contacts, but none is still from English local. We have italian (which is our negihbour) and we strongly want to reach out to them as they are quite friendly.

We also have africans, who are very open… and Indian as well.

It sounds to us that, this will be quite diversified, and with this group, we might not really catch the attention of local english people.

Pray for us that we have the wisdom and taking the right decision at the right time… either getting local english people here first… or just accept whoever is responsive.

David and Mei Lai ”
