Challenging Week + Corporate Prayer!

The more I think abt this week, the more I'm amazed. I kinda got into a quarrel with my boss and many misunderstanding took place. In fact, I was almost so mad that I felt like quitting. But there's an assuring voice telling me that it's alright. I made peace with my boss and other colleagues that I kinda had problems with.

Just a few hours ago at Corporate Prayer, a few of us were at the Prophetic Art section and amazingly, Joycelin mei and I had the same vision and painted quite similar stuff. =) While Tass did an interesting painting which involves the cross too! Many of the paintings somewhat referred back to the cross.

Gap between the living and the dead.....
Jesus filled the gap.




Hands.....

Chris led us into a time of worship and what a great start by the youth ministry. =) I find that today's painting was kinda interesting as I've seen some of them came into my mind. As we were praying, I asked God how to paint and draw a 3D cross, etc.

God led me to the part of Jesus filling the gap between the living and the dead, our past into the future. =) I'm so happy to see so many other youths. Just find it pure joy.

Be Blessed!

Miracle - Real & Heartfelt!

Just hours ago at work, I encountered a tough situation. I forgot about an invoice and overlooked it. Worse of all is that I can't even recall about it and didn't think further. Somehow, deep in my heart, I felt the need to search it and guess what? I found it and I was contemplating whether to pass it to the finance or not.

At this juncture, I know that my job is really on jeopardy. Know why? The invoice states S$26,022.40 and we are restricted to S$50,000 for the first 3 months. This is the standard procedures for my work environment. The vendor agreed to re-bill and I'm saved! My boss didn't scold me but rather advised me and guided me. Over that 3 hours, my heart just felt lost till I handed over the invoice. My heart tells me that my trust is in God. I'm reminded of my purpose in PRSS. I'm pretty blessed as I recount the blessings.

It was like a miracle to me. Oh yes, today is my 6th month with Rachel. We are still surviving and will stand together always. Though she fell ill but I enjoyed the moments with her. She's always so loving. Sent her home via cab. Was praying for a merc or silver cab. As long it's fast! Sent her home and got back in the same cab for only S$12. Uncle gave discount as I was talking to him. It's great!

Ignite conference ended well on Sunday and I'm very blessed! It was another miracle when Rach forgot to bring our tickets and we had spare tickets! Oh yeah, it was so tough to sell away Gee Yean Kor's wireless mouse (mighty mouse) but just happened so suddenly that there are buyers offering S$85. And yeah, that's the price I'm helping him to get. Alright man!

God is working in His house!

Be Blessed!

1st Prayer Meeting.....

It brings me great joy to start the year well and also for the 1st Prayer Meeting that reminds me of how God has been good all this while. Today, we celebrated Yi Sin's birthday after the 4-hour prayer we had. It was quite amazing as God works in His most unique ways.

Happy Birthday, Yi Sin!

Presenting..... Esther Hoon!

Keith

Mr Yang..... Chris Yang

Oh yeah, today we also receive a newcomer! Her name is Charmaine. Knew her during Fuel Up Camp and don't let her scream. She can really scream. Anyway, it was good that she came and also get involved in the prayer.

Charmaine + Kenny

Gim Yong

Do you DOM? - Dominic

Joycelin + Kenny

Not forgetting the many incidents that happened during prayer. It just moved me to tears as everyone prayed and settled with God, lifting our issues to Him! Breakthrough.

Be Blessed!

Nothing Is Impossible!

Even though the week was tough after I returned to work, I thank God that everything is in control. Today, I received the most number of calls. Probably abt 15 or even more! That's good as God really knows that I need to be occupied by work while worshiping Him! Earlier this week, in fact, on Monday, a group of us sent Justin off to Thailand.

Jenn + Flo

Justin

Gee Yean

Chris + Justin

Kenny

As we were sending him off, GY kor talked to me. I felt it was impossible regarding the matter. But again and again, God seemed to speak to us abt the same matter. And throughout the week, I was really 'bothered' by it coz it's very dear to me. The words that were spoken. And sharing with Justin, he kinda knew God is working within me and yeah..... It was great to have Jenn, Flo and Chris to send him off as yet. They look like a family - Jenn (Mum), Chris (Son), Flo (Daughter). LOL! Perfect combination.

With that, I realized how God brought each of us to where we are today. Nothing is indeed impossible with God. With Him, all things are made possible. Even at work, I can sense favor in the midst of misunderstandings and I'm toughen up for it.

This evening, I was at my Poly Cell. Was greatly ministered even though I missed the worship session. God is really transforming the cell and Wen Jie is re-ignited! Praise God for her faithfulness thru God's love. I believe that the cell will grow more than ever imagined this year!

Alison + Kenny

Oh yeah, on Monday, I met my old friend, Carrie. Before meeting them, I met Alison and we had dinner with Rach..... meaning Carrie, Rach and Alison had dinner with me. *I'm also confused!* We had Fish & Co. Hai..... forgot to take pics. But Alison mei took pics with me at Terminal 3. LOL. It's so nice lor. We had a great chat. I guess she's ministered too. I'm ministered by the many happenings too.

Still, nothing is impossible with a God who never fails. He loves us so much. Even to the slightest things, He loves us.

Be Blessed!

Worship Ministry Advance 2008

Finally, COOS Youth Worship Ministry Advance 2008 ended..... with a comma (,) as Jenn mentioned. The journey is ON for us as we unite as ONE for the Audience of ONE. It started on Friday evening with fellowship over dinner. Chris led us during worship and we had quite a full band though. It was the beginning of change in our ministry.

Now they know who wrote for them on behalf of the Comm.
=) Be Blessed!

Chris!



Joy & Kenny

Kai: Where am I?

Awake!

Yawnz!

Buddy Jo & Ken

Jamming!

During the entire Advance, we had opportunities to share with each other during mealtimes, devotion - group based and the late nights, just to know each other better. Even during PSP, God revealed many things about the ministry and healed us from all these. This is just part 1. Many more to go before we get super united!

Enjoying moments!







The amazing Car Ride that took 7 of them behind.....
*Rach's car is amazing!*


Joy! My caring, beloved mei.


Another mei, Lynn and my lovely Rach!

Sound Check!




Dinner..... Prata!

What an experience.....

A week ago, God came and touched my heart and restored the broken areas during Worship. While I was facilitating the worship session, God mended my heart. He filled it up with love. And confirmed many things during then at the Fuel Up Camp. Coming to the Advance, I seriously think that it was AWESOME! The night before the Advance, I couldn't sleep. God kept me awake just to reflect and pray. So I did. When I step into Salvation Army campsite, I just feel that this Advance will be a breakthrough for our ministry esp with the theme we set and strongly agreed.

During Saturday morning, Jenn led the session and we worship in the dark. It was an awesome experience. God showed me some moves for the dance. It was a little bit like ballet. So I was too shy to show it to anyone esp to Him. In it, He showed me stars, sand and Him dancing around me like I was a kid surrounding by His love.

On Sunday morning, Evie led worship and Jenn asked us to prophesy to one another. This broke my heart. ZG prophesied over me and I didn't really mention this to him before. He said that God has planted in me a heart for Evangelism and what he prophesied also confirmed about my current job, etc. Isn't God amazing? In the afternoon, we had feet washing by Jenn and Josh. Again, God ministered to me when Josh said abt me coming to COOS and all the struggles, etc. And the statement that really made me feel so encouraged - your joy can be your hurts and your hurts can be your joy too. To me, that referred mainly in my relationship with Rach as well as other matters. But it's true. Rach's my joy. She's a great friend.

Back to the experience..... Gee Yean prayed for me and I'm really excited even though I wanna share it, I can't piece it now. So I'll share when I'm ready. Anyway, I cried so badly during that 3 days coz God kept ministering to me. Can't believe it but it's true. I wonder how can I please God and all I know is to love Him. Surrender all rights to Him. Nothing comes easy but with Jesus, it's easier. LOL! Oh yeah, anointing..... The anointing of the different layers of leadership was really a blessing. I find it as though the dream I had was fulfilled.

Jenn anointed Josh & Chris. Josh & Chris anoints Lynn, Evie, Nat and Gab. Then the four of them anointed those who are currently playing on the platform. Then we (those currently playing), anointed the interns and they are super oily. LOL! Coz so many of us anointed them. Then John anointed Jenn. And great, a dream I had just passed! Isn't God so cool?

Next..... The games!

The games were fun! - At least for my group coz we really really enjoyed it with loads of trust, fun and learning from one another. Though I was pretty tired, they just helped by giving those encouragements! I guess there are stuff that cannot be really explained or expressed coz it's a moment and experience. As for me, this time God really moved me and till me, best of all, showed me His love, allowed me to feel His tangible presence and releasing words of affirmation from so many people.





Spider WEB!!

Lalalalalala..... Singing Time!

Trust is needed. LOL!



Oh yeah..... not to forget that we celebrated Tass's birthday! Photos all around.....


Surprise, Tass!

Oh.....


Evie praying for Tass!

Lift up our hands.....

How can I keep from singing His praise? I'll praise Him when I win, praise Him when I lose. Either way, I'll honor Him with all my actions and attitudes. Indeed, this Advance really broke my heart. Just simply did and I'm glad I'm part of this Advance. And hope everyone felt the same too. I can't wait for the next one! =)

Be Blessed!
