“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.

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....

"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:
