For a long time I wasn't able to log in to this account so I gave up trying to get in and update. But thank God, while trying to retrieve my past post on "can 1man make a difference" I decided to try logging in again, blogspot decided to let me in, and the rest was history.. =P
A lot has happened since I last posted, in fact 3 years has pasted. I graduated from Bible School and I'm really into doing missions and serving in ministries. Have been helping out in Jesus.for All.MindS(JAMS) church in City Harvest Church, and taught guitar playing for cell group praise and worship quite actively, as well as helping out in my cell group. Have been making a point to go for mission trip for at last once a year. In fact I just came back from Riau Islands, Indonesia. Went to the island of Tanjung Batu and Penyalai together with a team of 7, that minister in 2 groups, group of 3 went to Penyalai and the 4 stayed in Tanjung Batu. Had a great time there. And I'll be preparing myself to do more in the next trip.
I've been thinking about missions a lot for the past few months. Was thinking how can I help the villagers, as well as to get more people to travel with us to minister together. It's been hard trying to get the past members to gather together and go for the trip in 2010 and I certainly hope and pray that next year will be a different story. Really want to gather a team that can help at least the 2 churches to grow and carry the momentum to do greater things for Christ. Since 2009, GPdI Penyalai has been doing great. GPdI Jemaat Getsemani is growing as well, slightly slower but growing. Both churches are moving on to have a full band to play for them for praise and worship. Tanjung Batu is still forming the team. Penyalai's team has been great. And I really hope to bring musicians in my next mission trip to train the team, to help them improve and move to another level of praise and worship for the church. Need people to avail.
All around Indonesia, churches are having difficulty in encouraging youths to step out and to be a testimony for Jesus. to stand in front of people and says, "this is the life of christians, fun, adventurous, and discipline." Need to come out with a message to stir their heart and rekindle the flame and to launch them forth for their breakthrough. More than just teaching them and let them know about cultural mandate, they need to move with the Holy Spirit to do it. And we need to walk the walk and not just talk the talk. And of course, the sad truth is that most change needs a bit of financial input to push for it.
I seriously sense that the coming year, God will became to do mighty exploits everywhere around the world. The church will grow as one, in preparation of 2012. There will be a change of power and Christ will prevail. Really sense the burden in my heart that we need to be ready and fit to seize the opportunity. Now is the time.
