亲爱的代祷勇士：

        

      希望我的分享能与大家共勉：

        心中很感激神应允我有关于生命有所突破的祷告。这突破的过程不容易，它带来许多不解、许多眼泪也有许多欢呼。。。神让我认识了一位朋友，他坦诚地指出了我许多的弱点、自私、自我、冲动行事。。帮助我更多地认识自己是怎样的一个人。请你们为我的生命突破代祷，谢谢!

      上周五，我第一次参加了我将参与服事的宣教机构的祷告会。他们每周五都有一批人聚在一起为着在前线的宣教士和要去短宣的弟兄姐妹祷告。

那天由一个叫Bert的弟兄带领，他分享了神在他生命中所留下深刻的印迹。他来自很保守的教会，从没听过神迹奇事、医治等。但他在第一次去短宣的时候，神让他经历了许多超乎他所预料的，使他的生命有了重大的转变。他一面分享，一面被神的爱深深感动并流下感恩的泪。。

      看到有这么多弟兄姐妹积极地在金钱上支持、愿意献上他们的时间去短宣，心里不禁为他们感谢和赞美神！但他们中间有很多是来自灵恩派教会，真叫我们这些保守派羞愧呀！愿神兴起我们，不叫我们单单满足于现状，而是常常去体会神的心意并学习顺服！

      在出席这个祷告会的时候，我心中宣教的火焰仿佛又燃烧了起来。期盼着前面挑战和新的服事方向。更希望透过这些，让我更多体会和认识爱我的神！主若愿意，我将从7月份开始在这个宣教机构服事。这里的同工都没向机构支取薪资，都是凭信心仰望神的供应。他们都是依靠教会或朋友在经费上支持。爱我的三姐（未信耶稣的）不能理解为何我做出这样的选择，特别是提到我偶尔要带队去短宣，并且是自费，更是令她费解。我也不知道该怎样向她解释，只能说这里的工作人员都是不领薪资的。请为我家人祷告，毕竟他们都还没信主，不明白上帝的恩典够我们用的道理，我理解他们的担忧与感受。希望有一天他们都能信主，并能在祷告中支持我！

Dear friends and prayer warriors, 

Just to update you all on what’s happening for the last month.

 Firstly like to thank God for sending someone in Christ to my life to help point out my weakness and to encourage me. That friend has helped me to see my blind spots and help me make a breakthrough in my life pertaining with my walk with God, my strength and weaknesses and how I can strengthen and overcome them. I covet your prayers as we mutually encourage each other in this renewed phrase of life.

Thank God also for a wonderful, though short, church camp organised by Reformed BP Church. This is the 1^st church camp for this 4 years old church. The camp committees were novices, they managed to organise a good camp. Keep it up!

I attended this church camp with another two friends of mine.  Actually we went to a Jakarta conference recently together and I never imagine that so fast, we can travel together again. We enjoy one another’s company so much. Thank God for the wonderful fellowship together and lessons learnt.

Thank God for seeing me through the courses in British Council. If God be willing, I will be applying for the teaching award upon completion soon. Please pray for discipline to finish all the course requirements. 

Kindly pray for my preparation for the coming Medan Teaching Mission trip from 27 Jun till 1 Jul. Pastor Yap will join me after I teach the first 2 and half days. Theresa, a friend of pastor Yap, will come along with me throughout the trip. This is an exposure trip for her. Please pray too that we can both enjoy the fellowship and the trip together. 

Do continue to pray for my father’s salvation and for opportunity for me or others to reach out to him with the great news of God’s love and redemption of mankind.  It’s been my burden for all these years and age is catching up with him. Do pray that I will continue to be a good testimony and to earnestly witness to him and others while there is time. 

Finally remember to pray for me for wisdom and God’s leading as I consider the offer to join WEC as part of the mission support team. Pray for conviction to be able to work as part of a team cutting across culture, denominational and races. This mission organisation believe in God's providence for their daily support. So none of them have salary. Please pray that i may also learn to trust God in His providence. Thank you. 

Thank you for praying and being with me.

In His care,

The best poem in the world

I was shocked, confused, bewildered

As I entered Heaven's door,

Not by the beauty of it all,

Nor the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven

Who made me sputter and gasp--

The thieves, the liars, the sinners,

The alcoholics and the trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade

Who swiped my lunch money twice.

Next to him was my old neighbor

Who never said anything nice.

Herb, who I always thought

Was rotting away in hell,

Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,

Looking incredibly well..

I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal?

I would love to hear Your take.

How'd all these sinners get up here?

God must've made a mistake.

'And why is everyone so quiet,

So somber - give me a clue.'

'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock.

No one thought they'd be seeing you.'

JUDGE NOT!!

Remember...Just going to church doesn't make you a

Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.

Every saint has a PAST...

Every sinner has a FUTURE!

Now it's your turn... Share this poem. 

May update

Dear all,

It has been quite sometimes since I last updated you. I would like to take this opportunity to thank some of you for your care, concern and emails enquiry. I am much blessed and touched by your love, care and concern.

Yesterday, after some initial email correspondences, finally I met up with the WEC (World Evangelism Center), a mission organisation. Four of them met up with me. Thank God for a frank and casual interview. They were nice people and seem easy to work with. We are very comfortable with one another.

However, they ask me to pray about the matter and give them the answer by mid June. This organisation believe that God will provide the financial for each staff, so everyone have to raise their own support. However, they were kind enough to enquire about my financial status.

I covet your prayers with me how the Lord is leading me. Thank you so much.

Thank God too after roaming around churches for the past few months. If God be willing, I will be transferring my membership to Gospel Light Christian Church in a few months time. 

Thank God also for a sister who sponsored me to a church camp. May we have a great time learning and hearing God's word and in fellowshipping with one another 

God bless till we meet again,

Heng sau

Are You Engaged Or Entangled?

Are You Engaged Or Entangled?

---

"No one engaged in warfare ENTANGLES HIMSELF with the affairs of this life, that he may please Him who enlisted him as a soldier." (2 Timothy 2:4)

You and I have a challenge before us: "How to be ENGAGED in fulfilling our earthly responsibilities and yet remain UN-ENTANGLED in the affairs of life in order to fight Christ's battles."

What is the difference between being ENGAGED and ENTANGLED?:

• The trolley cars in San Francisco are ENGAGED in the cable beneath the surface of the street.
• The bird is ENTANGLED when it cannot get its foot out of the trap.

How do we know when we are ENTANGLED?

• When we are irritated or consumed over our situation.
• When we fail to see God in control of our circumstances.

Strategically, we become ENTANGLED when we make the pursuit of the secular our primary focus, and then try to fit the spiritual around it. Remember the aspiring disciples of Christ in Luke 9:57-61 who expressed interest in following Him? "But first" they had to attend to their private affairs and interests.

When the "but firsts" dominate our lives, we are entangled. Jesus allows us no such privilege:

"No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62)

Let me ask you:

• When you open your Bible to spend time with God, is your mind easily distracted?
• Would you be free (within a reasonable period of time) to uproot and move to another part of the world to minister, if God were to call you?
• When spending time with your spouse or children, are you there 100% or are you just putting in an appearance?

Whether we are ENGAGED or ENTANGLED is a question of focus, values and priorities. It is a question of whether we WANT to invest in the eternal, or simply expend our lives on the temporal.
