And...another week passed

Really...another week has passed. This week, I learnt about what a REAL man entails, what a REAL man really must do, and, who a REAL man really is. I believe a REAL man should be someone who has a deep relationship with God, one who always long for His presence. Pastor Tan's sermon on this really has impacted me and pushed me up to the next level.

Turning now to ministry, I must say that this week I am really really happy. For the first time, my 2 groups have hit a total of 45 children!! Clap Clap Clap...!!! Although fell short of the initial 51 forecasted, I am really happy because I knew my team (My F3s) have achieved something great yet! I believe this coming week we can break through the 50 mark. Pray together with us! haha...today I'm rather frustrated too. With the long journey of the Yishun Bus to the kids' not at the pick up point and having to wait to being late in reaching church, I must say that it takes me some crucifixion of my flesh just to keep my frustration in check. Though not really well checked, but quite a feat to check it.

Something for my F3s, you're the best team members I've ever had. Let's continue to work together for a greater breakthrough in the Woodlands areas!!

Having a sense of purpose

Hi there, after a long 7-month hiatus, I'm finally back to this blog...haha...=) In February this year, Glordia was promoted to be a director for a new enrichment center. As such, to reduce her workload, her zone, the biggest in Children's Church, was broken up into many smaller groups and was put into charge of various Zone Supervisors. This was when Xinwei was promoted to be a Zone Supervisor In-training. In the announcement made somewhere in mid-Jan, I was told I'll be going to the new XW Zone alone. When I heard that, I was excited yet saddened. Excited because I'll be facing new challenges in the new zone. Saddened because I'll be "detached" from one of my most favorite ZS and discipler and friend -- Glordia. This month, or to be more precise, today, marks the 4th month I'm in XW Zone. Inside this 4 months, I would say that it quite a journey for me. From taking over a larger group to being appointed as Manpower IC and Transport Head, it is, and will be, always a good challenge for me. With close to 40 children in 2 groups, 6 buses and 17 workers, I would say that it's always a challenge for me to plan everything well, and meeting various deadlines as well. These appointments and new groups really pushed me to the next level, forcing me out of my comfort zone, putting me into an entirely new dimension of my service to God. This week my attendance (I believe) will be good again. Revival has been happening in both my groups!! That's something I can't achieve without God, and I believe God will continue to pour His Spirit, anointing, passion, love, mercy and grace upon these 2 groups. Please pray and believe together with me that by the end of this year, 2008, my 2 groups will hit a total of 90 children on a regular basis!!

If you think that's all, I tell you, there's more!! God is really using me like never before and I'm so grateful eternally for that! Recently, 3 young person was put under my discipleship group! I refer to them as my F3s (Dunno if they like this name). F stands for Fantastic, Flourishing, Fabulous (and they really are!!), Flexible. I can tell you one truth....the 3 of them are REALLY Fantastic people. I really love them to the core!! haha...=) They are the 3 whom I know that will become future Christian leaders who will do EVEN greater works that I do...so....I'm always giving my all and my best to them....And them only!! If you are curious to know who are they....well....haha...not gonna tell you...=)
