National Postal BK Quiz 2012

The National BK Quiz is back again! We will host it at our church on this April 15. This year's quiz texts are taken from Genesis 20-24 & the Miracles of Jesus (from Gospel of Luke) How many miracles are there recorded for us? Well, there are at least 21 miracles. So please start your reading from Ch. 4 to 22! For a list of the references, please look at the Notice Board. As a further incentive, the questions will be easier than before!

New Year New Beginning

A new year brings new things. For our fellowship, it also marks a new beginning for change. The first change is to meet every week unless for some special reason. This really takes greater commitment. Secondly, the meeting time has also been changed to the evening. To kick off this new change we are starting a new study series on Six Steps to Encouragement. Our goal is to learn how to encourage each other in a practical way with the Word of God. Sounds easy? The first study starts this Saturday (Jan 7) @ 8.30 pm. We need all the encouragement to see through all these changes!

Expanding Our Wings!

Last month during the EFCM Leadership Seminar, our church was given the honour to lead worship for one of the sessions. It was the first time doing something like this and in front of leaders from the other EFC churches including the guest speaker, Pr. Edmund Chan! Our young people did not disappoint! Congratulations Jason, Bernard and Grace! We are proud that you took the challenge. There will more opportunities in future! Let's fly with wings of eagle and soar up higher for the glory of the Lord!

Youths in Action

At our recent trip to Pengkalan Hulu, our young people played a major role in leading and running the programmes. Here are some pictures of them in action. Keep it up guys & gals, as you strive to do greater things for the Lord!

Healthy Living

This Saturday (Mar 19) the YF is organising a time for young people to come together for a time to learn what is healthy living, followed by a game of badminton. We will start from 9.00 am to 12.30 pm. After that if you have time, stay back for a time to 'lepak' over lunch at the nearby shops. So come dressed to play and some money for lunch. Shuttlecocks, badminton rackets and water will be provided FOC! Come and invite your friends too!

Christmas Eve Countdown 2010

Christmas is less than three weeks away. If you have not invited anyone, here is the invitation that you can use to invite your friends. This year we are going to see all our young people getting involved in the organising and showcasing of their talents! We have also got a 'foreign' group of young teenagers as our guest performers. Come, eat, play, see and hear the Good News. It's going to be a fun time as we work towards the Christmas countdown! May this year's celebration be a memorable one!

Fear Factor

It is very challenging to do cross cultural missionary work. There are lots of new things to learn and get used to. Only recently someone just shared how his daughter had to learn three languages to serve on the mission field so that she can deal with the authorities and the target group she works with. As Malaysians we enjoy our food a lot and would go to great distances to taste something good! But I wonder if we are as adventurous when it comes to some of the strange things that missionaries have to eat.

Here is a list of some of these strange things that one missionary gathered from his friends:
1) Grilled dog (Honduras)
2) Raw monkey brains (Indonesia)
3) Goat head (Haiti)
4) Cockroaches (Thailand)
5) Termite larvae in goat's milk (Central America)
6) Field rat (Philippines)
7) Stewed wildcat (Honduras)
8) Grasshoppers (Mexico)
9) Boiled ant larvae (Thailand)
10) Mice-on-a-stick (Malawi)
11) Giant black snail (Nigeria) - tasted like an old tyre!

The list can be longer! Like the apostle Peter, the Lord may have to show us that there are some things that we may call unclean that He has made clean before us! Of course it was in the context of taking the gospel to the home of the Gentile Cornelius. For the gospel, Peter entered the house of a Gentile for the first time. Something a good Jew would never do so as not to become impure. Peter preached the gospel and the whole household was saved! What would you eat for Jesus? Are you be prepared to go anywhere and do anything for the gospel? Start by giving your life fully to Him where you are. Allow Him to show you the way and overcome some of your fears and even dislikes for the gospel!
