On Reverse Culture Preparation...

Our church is going through a series on Missions currently.
("Basic Training For Mission Teams" by Jerry Rankin & Phyllis Tadlock)

As we talk about preparing ourselves for reverse culture shock (aclimatizing ourselves back to our home country), I'm reminded of my friend and how he protects himself from reverse culture shock.

My friend is from Andra Pradesh, India.
He is a pastor and came to Singapore for a conference.

I was excited to show him the sights, sounds, scent and tastes.
But he was not too eager to accept. (Grateful but not eager)
He requested to eat local indian cuisines, and only asks to see dophins and the national stadium.

I obliged and acceded to his requests.
He explained that he didn't want to indulge his taste and lifestyle lest he begins to seek these that he could not get back in his village.

Reverse Culture preparation.

Our context would be slightly different. But may the Holy Spirit guide us to have a proper and humbling perspective in our preparation for the trips we'll be embarking on. That we grow to have a holy dissatisfaction at the poverty and injustice we see, but not rush into prayerless and powerless committments and frivolous ambitions of our own arrogance.

Church Camp is coming!















Photo taken during last year's Church Camp. Personally, I am excited about going to the camp to be in the fellowship of His saints to praise and worship Him and to learn of His word!

Amazed by Him

Amazed by Kutless

Open up my eyes to see All of you,
your mysteries I hold my breath,
You hold my hand
As heaven melts the heart of man

How amazed I am

Your glory fills the sky, a great and holy light
Shining like a million stars, I'm amazed by who you are
Lord we lift you high, Oh God be magnified
You have overwhelmed my heart, I'm amazed by who you are
The universe is at your feet and angels bow when you speak
So high above our greatest song but still you call and we will come

How amazed I am

Your glory fills the sky, a great and holy light
Shining like a million stars, I'm amazed by who you are
Lord we lift you high, Oh God be magnified
You have overwhelmed my heart, I'm amazed by who you are

What is the state of your spiritual health?

The lyrics of this song is very powerful hope it will speak to many hearts out there.

It will be good to have pit stops in our spiritual life to check the state of our spiritual health. Maybe it's time to do so now...


Somewhere in the middle by Casting Crowns

Somewhere between the hot and the cold
Somewhere between the new and the old
Somewhere between who I am and who I used to be
Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me

Somewhere between the wrong and the right
Somewhere between the darkness and the light
Somewhere between who I was and who You're making me
Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me

Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control

Fearless warriors in a picket fence, reckless abandon wrapped in common sense
Deep water faith in the shallow end and we are caught in the middle
With eyes wide open to the differences, the God we want and the God who is
But will we trade our dreams for His or are we caught in the middle
Are we caught in the middle

Somewhere between my heart and my hands
Somewhere between my faith and my plans
Somewhere between the safety of the boat and the crashing waves
Somewhere between a whisper and a roar
Somewhere between the altar and the door
Somewhere between contented peace and always wanting more
Somewhere in the middle You'll find me

Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control

Lord, I feel You in this place and I know You're by my side
Loving me even on these nights when I'm caught in the middle
