HEY PEEPS!!
I apologize for the late update on last week's activity. Basically, we had the people who went for the chiangrai mission trip last dec to take turns to share those experiences with us.
Here's a brief summary:
In this mission trip, Ching Yi realises that God takes care not only of his harvest, but also his workers. For example, how He has led our member back in safety and will take care of the needs of people in the His ministry all over the world. Through this mission trip, Ching Yi realises that God's work is being done all over the world as seen in the large number of christian who have, indeed, heard and accepted Christ and also the many missionaries who are trying their best to share the gospel with others even when they are people of a different country/ race/colour.
Victoria mentioned about the 3 churches that they had visited in chiangrai and how despite how poorly built and the lack of resources, the people there worship God with all their heart and are really sincere. Which draws us to reflect on our present situation. Being so unfortunate and blessed to live in a country like singapore with no religious restrictions (i.e. not having to fear beign caught worhshipping the Lord) and how we take all these for granted. Out faith and our spiritual life might not even compare to those over there who are truly trusts and believes in our Lord with all their heart, all their strength and with all their mind.
Elizabeth and Kapo also told us about how God took care of them all over the course of the trip. Elizabeth having been sick with a fever since the first day has experienced the love of our brothers and sisters who gave her concern and showered her with love. Also, gaining her voice after laughing so hard on top of an elephant!! (this, i personally find, kinda hilarious). HAHHA!
Kapo also shares the same joy and comfort when she received indescribable care from the other members when she suffered from an asthma relapse and more embarrassingly (as she put it) had the "privilege" to sit on a wheelchair in the airport and how she even occupied ps wong's airplane seat. She also made Aunt Flora unable to buy souvenirs!!! (this, she was quite apologetic).
Lokwah and Ivan then told showed us some pictures they have taken in chiangrai and gave us quite a detailed illustration on the whole trip. They told us about the approx. percentage of people belonging to a particular clan in chiangrai. The Akka clan is the most populated with the Chinese about 30% (if i'm not wrong. Please correct this if i am). There are also 2 lovely dogs called feifei and workwork (which is blind cuz apparently, it got hit by the LPG) KUDOS to workwork. As the name implies, it's working it way through faith. Cuz after all, faith is in fact, walking without seeing. Also, they told us about this missionary family where the children have to take care of themselves when their parents went out into the mission field. So please keep them and other missionaries' children in your prayers, that they would grow up physically, mentally, spiritually healthy and be a good role model in school.
Take note, this is also a combination of yesterday mission trip sharing-cum-prayermeeting. So those who didn't go, this is the chiangrai mission trip for you. Of course, there are more to it. But all in all, Praise the Lord for his continual guidance and hope that this has become an excellent testimony to all.
P.S. for more info / photos, please obtain it from mission trip members.

Hello Ev'ryone!!!
THE DAY HAS COME!!! And THE DAY is TOMORROW!!!
As you guys might have guessed / known, there's the Mission ministry sharing thingy tmr and our fellow TIMOTHYs are going to share about their mission to Chiangrai last dec. We's hoping that everyone of you would come and support and hear about the many interesting things that happened and how God had led them safely home, with a lot to gain. Please try your best to come for it. It's the first time Timothy went for a mission trip so their experience will be extraordinarily valuable to them and us alike. (: The venue would be the main sanctuary and it starts at 7.30. But LW says to be there by 7. SOOOoOooOO... And and you should bring along some writing materials to record some of the issues that appeal to you and a heart willing to listen and internalise the message.
SEEYA TMR!!!

Hi all,
I'm sure everyone of us learnt something from the bible study we had today, esp aft acting out the bible verses, we can remember it more vividly in our heads hahaha. Even though we may not remember exactly the storyline of the chapters, always remember that as christians, we will surely face spiritual warfares, so do not let your guards down, esp for teenagers like us, there will be temptations from peers and people around us, so we should always be alert (:
Anyway, have a blessed wk ahead!!
In Christ,
ivan

Hi all!
This post is actually about the Skit in our church on 7 feb , saturday night.
based on 路得记, the book of ruth, this story happened many many years ago? ( please read 路得记)
For those who missed it, here goes :
Main Characters
- God
- Naomi
- Ruth
- Orpah
- Boaz
Basically, Naomi has a husband and two sons with two daughter in laws ( Ruth and Orpah)
However, both her husband and her two sons died, living behind her, ruth and orpah. Naomi persuaded both of them to go back to their mothers home; she knewed that Orpah and Ruth would face a bleak and uncertain future if they returned to bethleham with her. so orpah went home but Ruth was determinded to go with Naomi. Ruth did the unexpected. she displayed incredible loyalty. She chose a life without husband and no propect of marriage. devoting herself to an old woman.
Naomi, spoke about God in the first few verses; 1:16-17 , 1: 20
She was conscious of his work in the universe and her life. but she misjudged him and misjudged life.
So they left for bethleham where the barley harvest was beginning.
Ruth decided to follow reapers during harvest to pick up from the ground any grains left behind.
Then, she found herself working in Boaz's field ( Boaz, influencial relative of Naomi). Coincidentally, Boaz saw Ruth at the field and noticed her. Boaz then made Ruth's life easier, also invited her t eat with harvesters and made sure she had adequate food. When she went home, the amount of barley she took home is so much more than she expected to take back. Behind what appears to be human luck lies divine purpose. The hand of God is at work even in these " accidents " in life.
Next scene :
Naomi cooks up a scheme for Ruth. ( read Ruth 3: 1-4 ) Naomi tries to answer her own prayer in Ruth 1:9 . What we can learn is that God works through human actions, we can learn from Naomi as not to wait passively for events to happen but we can pray and sieze opportunity when there is one.
- Ruth was not engaged to Boaz that night ( according to Levirate law, if a man died without a heir, his brother was to marry the widow. the first born son will be the legal heir to the deceased husband )Boaz not the closest relative, thus he had to let another man who is closer to Naomi by family ties to make the choice. Then finally, Boaz married Ruth.
- God provied bread through Ruth finding grains.
- God provided Ruth's security through her marriage to Boaz
- God provied future generations for Naomi and Ruth's ex husband.
Life can seem haphazard and accidental. But over all seeming accidents in our lives God is at work.

Hi all,
I think it's really good that you all are enthusiastic to post the weekly fellowship summaries, in fact I guess we should really utilize this space here to do some after-fellowship discussion! I hope everyone is keeping up with their quiet time lately!
And I think someone who knows our new members email addresses can invite them to the blog.. and let them post by tweaking the settings.. maybe Ka Po/MM/Melody can help?
In Christ,
LW

Ahha! Didn't know there's already a summary of today's Devotion Sharing. so here's Part II~
A compilation of our individual ways of doing devotions.
Some suggestions about the TIME and ways to stay awake for Devotions:
1. Morning Devos, and recapping on that scripture at night before bedtime.
2. Devotions after school, after a nice shower
3. Si Yan shared that she would sing and listen to hymns for 'Jing shen' (Energy!) before Devos at night.
4. Bible study with roommates or family
and other methods learnt today:
1. Self-made schedule for prayer items and Bible reading
2. Readings from a website (dear Wendy where?)
3. using Bible with added features (CD + reading schedule)
4. Reading books.
Everyone, lets work hard and continue to improve on our ways of walking closer to God :)
Jiayou!

hi peeps!!!!
Just a recap of what we did during fellowship today. There was a sharing session, where we discussed our individual methods of devotions. There was also some tsai dung mai going on(cracking chinese riddles). It was, overall, quite entertaining and I presume everyone enjoyed themselves. (:
I hope that everyone of us have gained a lot from the sharing today and would consider making some changes to their devotional methods so that we can all experience further spiritual growth.
Some of the better methods would be:
1. to do our devotions regularly
2. at a better timing (when we're less sleepy) eg. in the morning / afternoon.
3. do family devotions
4. do family bible studies
etc.etc..
Afterwhich, we went to Kopitiam (canteen B) for lunch...blahblahblah
Yupyup! That's about all.
Ohyeah!! Remember to bring your bibles next sunday for bible study.!!!
And all the best for the j1s who are going to their new schools tomorrow.
Please keep them in your prayers.
in Christ,
m&m <3
