A Disciple's Journey...
A Testimony from Brother Lee Keng Lun on his journey as a Disciple of Jesus Christ.
It has been 2 months after the completion of the discipleship course I've been taking since last April.
I remember that time when Cam (my beloved current housemate) told me to about this course that he has embarked on and encourage me to enroll in this course, I was reluctant to this idea, mostly because I was (or thought I was) “not ready” for the course.
But the Holy Spirit has impressed on me on these verse later on:
“Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. (Hebrews 5:13-14)
I realized that Jesus has always been only a part of my life, but I never really let myself to be mature and full grown in the Lord. Ii seem that God is challenging me thru this verse to move on, to “pick up the cross” and be a true follower.
Thus I changed my mind and decided to take the course. I’ve to say it was a giant leap of commitment and faith on my part, as I really had NO idea what I was getting myself into for 34 weeks!
As the weeks went along in the course, I found myself reading and meditate on scripture, more than any other time as before. There is time were I found the course was difficult to participate in due to extensive scripture passage reading and heavy workload, my mind was lack of attention. Sometime I can read a chapter in a bible and all of a sudden realized that I do not know what I have read at all :-p. Then I realized how hard it is when Paul say, “I discipline my body and bring it into subjection” ….
But Praise the Lord! For His grace and strength that sustain me, prayer from my cell members and encouragement from my discipleship members to preserve faithful. :-) .Christ was with us every week when we come together to worship, learn God’s word, sharing and praying.
It started with ruts of routine but slowly it had helped me to develop a consistent pattern of spiritual disciplines. I learn that good spiritual disciplines are crucial if I want to be transformed into Christ-like and transformation needs patience and it is an on-going process (definitely more than 34 weeks …)
In overall, Discipleship is not as tough as I expected:-p. It required a full-time, life-time commitment, but as pastor mentions on week one Discipleship Explored, it is indeed “an active, vibrant learning process”, if we depend on God’s grace and the Holy Spirit to work in us….
God Blessed!!

There was minimum number of contraction and maximum dilation in the shortest possible time! No epidural was taken and labor was short and with minimum pain!
He has done a miracle in our birth journey!

Thank You for your unceasing prayers!

Ministry-on-the-go...
A simply testimony by Jessica.
This morning, I met one of my colleagues on the way to work and we took the bus together. She is a believer but we seldom talk about spiritual matters. This morning, I was to be surprised by the work that God has prepared in advance for me. =)
As soon as we got on the bus, she started sharing with me how she didn't sleep well because she spent the night praying and worshipping. Her father was having a medical condition that is causing him to have rashes all over his body for months and the itch was becoming unbearable. That night, he was feeling so terrible that he was crying. There was nothing she could do so she started to pray and praise.
During the whole bus trip, she shared with me about her journey that night. It was victorious and I too was encouraged. As we reached office, she asked me to pray for her whenever I can, and I promised I would.
As I reflect upon this episode, I thank God that I was there to be a comfort and minister by sharing her burden and listening. While some of you may think it's nothing big, but I'm thankful for the grace to be able to connect with another sister and be there in that moment of grace for her, and joining God in His work. =)
You too, I believe can be God's minister on-the-go, if you will give yourself to Him, and let the Holy Spirit lead you to be His tool of comfort, counsel and peace. Leaving you with the words in this song that we have sung, and may they inspire you to Live Christ, Share Christ.
Jesus, hope of the nations
Jesus, comfort for all who mourn
You are the source of heaven's hope on earth
.
Jesus, light in the darkness
Jesus, truth in each circumstance
You are the source of heaven's light on earth.
May each of you reflect Jesus, the hope that's living through you for all to see, for all who will receive.

Thanksgiving for Tryphena's recovery!
Dear forerunners, want to drop a note of thanksgiving to God and all of you guys out there who has been praying for Tryphena.
As you guys know , She has been having high fever since friday (28th dec 07) to (2 jan 08). It went up to as high as 40.7 and its really scary for us as parents. Its also painful to see her suffering from block nose and cough which affected hers as well as our sleep as we saw her struggling with her breath and waking up crying every 5 to 10 mins at night.
Thank God the ordeal is over and the viral fever really went off after 5 full days. Now she only has occasionally cough and running nose and we believe and trust that she will be fully recover and back to child care on monday. :)
Want to thank God for the followings:
1) That although her fever is high, she was always active and that there's no complications from it all.
2) For HIS strength for both myself and marchze during this period
3) HIS protection upon Jeremiah and myself during this period.
4) Forerunners who prayed for us through it all.
Thank you guys!!! :)
From the Chng family. :)
