The Motto

Going back to my time in St. Andrew's, I would walk past this motto everyday. But it seems to make no sense to me at all... 

Now, as I look back, it makes perfect sense!

NEB's culture will be the reflection of this motto!   

Feel the conviction?

Fellowship of the Unashamed
(The last words of an African martyr)

“I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The descision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.

I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure.

I’m finished and done with low living, sight-walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear.

I won’t give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I’ve preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ.

I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes. And when He comes, He will have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear. “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.”

DIVINE EXCHANGE!!!

THE BEST SATURDAY IN MY LIFE!!!

Today, God spoke to a lot of the NEB people. Visions were re-emphasized, goals reminded and God's spirit administered. This was what happened:

(10.00 p.m.)

Sunny, Donavan and I were having our dinner at Just Acia. And the funny thing is, we were joking about a lot of stuff. So the atmosphere at that moment was very 'jokish'. But at one point of the conversation, silence was instilled at our table. Suddenly, the 3 of us observed silence. No one could explain why! And during this silence, God spoke individually... He said, "2 more months to complete CG08. 8 more weeks to do it..."

At this moment, the burden of this message came to me in a big blow. Nothing can describe it! The impact of the message came to me like a rolling boulder. Following this, I looked around. I looked at Sunny and Donavan, and I knew straight away that God gave them the burden of the 3 schools too. (this was divine!) There was no need to speak, but I could somehow feel our spirits communicating with one another. This was when I realized that we do not have much time left...

From that moment on, the 3 of us had a heavy burden for the 3 schools (St. Andrew's, St Gabriel's and Montfort Secondary). Definitely, it was God! And after much wrestling with God in the spirit, God reminded us about our vision of 100 people in NEB! - SA (50 people), St. Gab's (25 people) and Montfort (25 people). God convicted the 3 of us that this is DEFINITELY POSSIBLE!!! And when this happened, we knew that this was a divine exchange from God. We were so so filled with the Spirit! And we cannot contain it! Immediately, we got Cheehwee to come over to our table so that we could share to him about the divine exchange that just took place at our table. After sharing for 10 mins, Cheehwee was also very convicted about it! But the 4 of us still couldn't contain the conviction in our hearts, so we invited the rest of the guys who were at the other table to come over. I believe they caught our spirit. After sharing, we still couldn't contain the conviction in our hearts!

And guess what, Sunny, Donavan, Cheehwee and I called up all of our coreteams who were not with us (some went home already) to meet us at Potong Pasir Mrt so that we could share our convictions, and what God really wants to do in NEB. (We really believe that God wants to grow NEB to be a benchmark in the church! We want NEB to be the most Godly group, the group that is Word-centered and the group that is able to dispatch workers around.) 

Before leaving for Potong Pasir, we met Scott on the way and imparted the very same spirit that we were convicted of. I believe he caught our spirit.

(Being very convicted by the Holy Spirit) On the way to Potong Pasir, Donavan, Cheehwee and I shared Christ in the train. We stood in one corner of the train and began to share the love of Christ to the people onboard. Donavan started the sharing, I shared the content and Cheehwee wrapped up with a blessing to the people. I'm just so proud that we managed to do it!

4 of my coreteam turned up at around 11 p.m. 1 ran from home to meet us, 1 took the train and 2 took the bus. When we finally met in the Mrt control station, we shared to the 4 of them about the conviction that we had. Not too long later, one of them cried... (this must be the Holy Spirit! How can a guy cry in a Mrt station?) Anyway, we shared on Hebrews 12:1-2, 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 and Proverbs 28:9. And I believe they caught our spirit.

Not too long later, Nigel arrived. And we imparted the same spirit to him! And I believe he caught it.

All in all, we are going to believe that NEB is going to grow! NEB is going to be never the same again! NEB is going to be the place where people are going to be dispatched to the world! NEB is going to be the most Godly group! NEB is going to be the most Word-centered group! NEB is going to set the benchmark for all guys and girls in church/the world! NEB is going to hit 100!!! We are going to be the first to do so. 

We are going to trust and place our faith in YOU LORD! WE BELIEVE, WE BELIEVE!!!    

Thank you, Jesus. 

OASIS CAMP!

CAMP CAMP!!! I'm going to give my best to the camp! I really wanna to take this time to equip, learn and to recharge myself for the upcoming endeavors. After this camp, I'm gonna press on with eager feet! 

 

Will be gone for 4D3N. 

Blessings

Just now, Sunny, Lumpy and me had dinner/shepherding at Suntec. We talked, discussed and debated. And we've come to a conclusion that there is a difference between doing QT (quiet time) and seeking God. - "Do you do Quiet Time? Or do you Seek God?"

And now, I'm going to thank God for the blessings that happened yesterday and today.

Yesterday, I arranged to meet Marcus Wong at Shipeng's house to encourage and to challenge him to have faith to come for camp. After a whole afternoon of talking and fellowship, Shipeng prayed for Marcus. (so that he can come for camp) And during the night, Shipeng sent out a sms that made me jump for joy - Marcus is coming for camp! 

Today morning, Aaron and I were waiting for a contact at Dobhy Ghaut MRT. The contact promised Aaron that he will call him when he reached. But he didn't... So the both of us frantically dialed our mobiles, in hope that he will pick up his phone. He didn't... 

Then, the both of us prayed. After the 1 minute prayer, I started calling the contact again. And this time, he picked up! Although this contact wasn't able to come for service, but at least I saw God working through the atmosphere of FAITH.

Prayer work wonders.

Thank you, God.   

Manchester!

It was 11pm when I took this photo. Just wanted to try out my favourite shirt! :D
