11th National Postal BK Quiz 2010

This year's BK Quiz has been confirmed. It will be held on April 11 (Sun) for us. To prepare for this quiz, please read up Genesis ch.12-15 and Luke ch.15-24. So don't tell me that I did not warn you earlier! Some of you may want to encourage your friends to join in as well, if they are not doing it at their schools or churches.

Happy reading!
Ps. Ben

What is Next?

We are planning for our next event in March, which is a visit to an unusual place in USJ1. Please wait for more details. But here is a clue for you:

New Link!

There's a new link to the new Grace EFC blog! Just click it and try it. Tell us also what you like and dislike. We will continue to maintain this blog for the Youths for now!

Our Kid!

One of the things that we have committed to do for at least a year is the sponsorship of a Dalit child. The Dalits are the "untouchables" in South Asia especially in India. They are regarded as the lowest caste in society who are not only poor but rejected by society as they do the dirtiest of the jobs. As a result many are trapped in this social cycle with very little means to improve themselves. Education is one great means to help them. The child we are sponsoring is Harish Edam, age 6 from a village called Pellakur in Andhra Pradesh, India. Here is something that young Harish has sent to us to keep us posted on his progress. Pray for him that he will grow up and find purpose and meaning in life.

Step Up 2010

I was at Harvest Haven last week to look at the Step Up program where Grace is attending with the other youths from PJEFC and Malacca EFC. It's a lovely place to have a retreat though a bit isolated! Here are some pictures from the trip. I will let Grace tell you more of her experience when she returns. God willing some of you may be able to join the programme in 2011.

First Youth Meeting for 2010

Hello!

This Saturday (Jan 9) would be our first meeting for 2010. We will start off this week with a short series on "How to Study the Bible" methods. This Saturday we will learn how to do a Bible Character study. Join us @ 4.30 pm at the Church premise.

God bless and see you all there!
Ps. Ben

Welcome 2010!

I thought it would be good to write a few words so early into the New Year! I don't know what your expectations and hopes are for the New Year. But I think it will be exciting. I have a feeling that we will be going to do some things that we have never done before. Something that will take us out of our comfort zone. Only God knows what it is and time will reveal if we have the 'right stuff'. Whatever it is that is coming, we can be assured that nothing is going to separate us from the love of God! Do I hear an 'Amen' for that? The safest place to be in this world is to abide in Him and remain in His love. Don't lose that love for Him - the first love!

Blessed New Year to all of you!
Ps. Ben

p.s. For the New Year I thought of a 'makeover' for this blog. Let me know what you think of this template. If you don't like it, we can always change!
