GG Journal 11 Jan 2009

First HC (House Church) meeting of the year! Venue at Unc Hoi Meng's house. Open worship as our worship leader Aty Dolly Nah (wooohoooo clap clap) will only lead for the first time next week. It was a Sunday of thanksgiving and prayer for those who are sick, Aty Sue Ling's sister and Chin Yee's (friend of aty Lai Leng) mom. Both have passed away on the same day as I'm writing this. Let us continue to be urgent and diligent in our prayers.

It was wonderful to have Aty Helen and family back. Charmaine's sharing was indeed a reminder to us the PERFECTION of Christ's sacrifice for us on the cross.
Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow...

GG Journal 28 December 08

It was the final Sunday for the year 2008, and we were gathered together at Unc Chris house, being the last Sunday everyone had thanksgiving to give to God, Chung En was back and he shared with us his experience at DTS and a couple of many testimony which took place. Bethel has also discussed the possibility of having our gg on Sat night ... hmm...

GG Journal 30th November 2008

This week many of our gang members are around......the world... yes Aty Helen and family in Canada and Uncle Edwin and family at the other end in Australia/NZ... so its a small group of us. And its the first time in our GG history that we have food before worship (shh!)!!! Anyways, Jia Hua who led us in worship shared an interesting but we believe significant dream about a Tempest Tree - and we(uncle Chris) decoded the dream as the church needs to be a tempest tree that is strong from its roots and can withstand the stormy weathers that others can depend on.

"But blessed is the man who trusts me, GOD, the woman who sticks with GOD. They're like trees replanted in Eden, putting down roots near the rivers-- Never a worry through the hottest of summers, never dropping a leaf, Serene and calm through droughts, bearing fresh fruit every season.
(Jer 17:7-8 MSG)

Christmas Gathering!

Bethel ANC Journal : 9 NOV 08

Venue : Hoi Meng's Worship Leader: Hoi Meng Songs: Be Still, Still, Betapa Hatiku Tuhan, The Potter's Hand...

“Lord you have done such great things! How deep are your thoughts!” Psalm 92:5

“God’s thoughts are not our thoughts, nor are they even like ours. We aren’t even in the same neighborhood. We’re thinking, ‘Preserve the body’; He’s thinking, ‘Save the soul’. We dream of a pay raise. He dreams of raising the dead. We avoid pain and seek peace. God uses pain to bring peace. ‘I’m going to live before I die’, we resolve. ‘Die, so you can live’, He instructs. We love what rusts. He loves what endures. We rejoice at our successes. He rejoices at our confessions. Max Lucado “Grace For the Moment”
Sharing: Chris: God is absolutely guiding us as a church with regards to the direction we are heading, when people may say 'Times are bad, God's people must remember that God is good, all the time'. Aty Lai Leng received two words - 'Lifelong Learning' during Fri P&P for the concept of our new premise in CP BU, and coincidentally... not, that Aty Irene has plans for a tuition centre! (Hallelujah Chorus) Edwin shared his dream of the month : (i will just put this down in keywords... ) new premise, successful sunday school, church slept over, white moths, neighbor wanted to extend his place, chris presented himself as the elder of the church... no matter what happens God will provide a way out.

Written from memory ... YL

The Journal of Bethel ANC

On the 26 Oct 2008 we had gg in Aty Helen's new apartment, and everyone had so many good testimony to share and i told aty Helen it would be cool if each of us can journal for ourselves what is meaningful to us in every gg.

Two weeks passed.

And on the 9 Nov 2008 we had gg in Unc Hoi Meng's house. And Aty Helen asked me, " So have you started recording down our gg sharing every week?" And I'm like..."Uh why is Aty Helen asking me? I thought its an individual thing..." -.-

And it dawned on me (Hallelujah Chorus) that she meant write a journal for our GG to record down our journey, especially now that we are heading towards house church structure.
And so here is the beginning of our journal to testify of God's working and goodness in Bethel ANC....

Retreat, Forward,

Woohoo! Our annual GG Retreat will be on the 9th of August (Let's hope this happens every year!)
This time, it's at Harvest Haven, speaking if which, we'll be posting up the long-awaited pics soon!

Other than that, we will kickstart our Alpha on the 17th of Aug, so if you are still blur, check THIS and THIS out.

Additional FYI stuff

Cheerios

The Kids are all grown up! *sniff

"Send me!"

So a now much matured and growned Chung En has abandoned himself to the will of the Lord (hopefully) to be enrolled in YWAM - and we praise God for that.

Well, looks like he's been enjoying himself:


Visit his blog HERE for his updates, let's uphold him in prayer!

Gua Tempurung - "Coconut Husk Cave"?

GLOP Ep6 : 25 Days to Camp! (Expectations)

This episode, we highlighted what campers can expect...
Very reluctantly so...because we wanted to keep everything a surprise! Now that y'all know quite a bit, make sure you do your "Ooohs" and "Aaahs" when you get there!

Well, from the previous episode we had a sneak peek at where we will be spending our 4 days and 3 nights, and ain't it a lovely place. Middle of nowhere, plenty of space, green all 360 degrees. Spick and span mansion, with a pool right outside. Perfect.

As for the activities and progam, we are only letting on a bit, that is, the caving part. Yep, nature lovers listen up, bring your shoes and torchlight.


The caving experience is part of our enlightenment on being the "light" to the world full of darkness. ..

"You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill…"
Matthew 5:14 (MSG)

Apart from he above, what should we expect spiritually? After all, this camp is about God!
And these are not easy expectations.
~ Expect God to use you in great way ~ Expect breakthroughs from God ~ Pray for oikos ~ Pray for Pastor Aow & Sister Mei
Jaeson Ma said something like this: Don't ask God for something you can do. Ask Him for something you can't do. And from "GM4O": “Don’t expect a thousand-dollar answer to a ten-cent prayer.”


And lastly, our Antioch NetWork CommUnity t-shirt will be launched 'sempena' our camp!
We'll talk more about that in another post! - "Symbols Secrets!"
