Thank God for making this Z3 retreat possible! I had a splashing time at the 3days 2nite retreat!! Its basically a short get-away/get together packed with Praise n Worship cum Devotion sharing cum Team Building activities. Hmm if I reali reali have to pick on something-its not enuff ZZZ..Lol. Thank God for the great bonding within Z3! I'm reali glad team 3 could make it in time to join us..though it was only for a short while..guess its the quality not quantity of time spent dat counts yeah!!

Also I'm so glad Lisa could join us even though shes reali busy (she even stayed for the 1st nite) and dat Huiping has stayed thru'out the whole retreat n even said her 1st prayer for the team during prayer session! Good job HP and Thank God for bringing her/all of us this far :)
















On our way to People's Association Holiday Chalet at Elias Road..Its a long ride to our destination (see even Phee and JR has dozed off..everyone needs a recharge!).

Poor Seow,its reali a challenge to drive the church van (non power-steering goodness..Hes has since learn to appreciate our SX4 more haha)..He sheepishly managed a "cheers" sign even though Hes perspiring profusely..(We all are..but its nothing comparable to U..thanks dear!)






Ahem..this very 'artistic' drawing is done by moi haha :) We are into our 2nd day of retreat (Time to tap our creative juices!) our 1st team building session where each of us has to pinpoint a part of the body dat best describes the others as well as weakness of this particular member of the body.

Everyone else: SheeEEeeet....

Svh: Wait wait...listen 1st!!Ass** is a VERY veri important and understated part of the body..it always does unglam things yet w/o it the body cant function properly.. (Guess he did redeemed himself afterall but still...)

Dear Lord I pray..

Dear Lord,I pray for Yunwei.Even as hes feeling stressed up..Lord help him remember that nothings gonna happen today that U and him cant handle together. Lord may Yr wisdom n strength guide all his ways..Pray He will be able to focus on U and find comfort in his daily walk w U. Lord U keep him safe as he embarks upon his flight training course. Help Him to fly the flag of Jesus high!

Dear Lord,I pray for Evan. Even as things look gloom over at Tekong,God U are in absolute control! Father Yr comfort is greater than our suffering..Pray U will turn the situation around..dat he will be able to join us for practices,services n cell group. Pray U grant him the serenity to accept things he cannot change and the courage to press on. God U sustain him.

Dear Lord,I pray for JR. Pray he will find favor with his OCS officers..Pray U will give him strength to overcome all the obstacles/tough training. May U preserve him n keep him safe..Pray he will not be influenced but be an Godly influence to others! Let him shine Yr Light.

Dear Lord, I pray for Quack n Maikal. Pray U grant them a closely-knit cell group/church friends..God U provide them with good Christian fellowship and support..Let them serve U in a mighty way over in Australia! I also pray for good results in their studies n relationship with each other as well as others ard them.

Last but not least..Dear Lord, I pray for Calvin as well as Z3 ministry. I pray that U grant him wisdom and visionary leadership to run Z3 ministry.I pray for Yr grace n strength upon him as he struggles with increasing work burden and Ministry's responsibilties. As Z3 ministry faces greater than before challenges, God U sustain Yr ministry..U lead the way ! Help us to recognize no matter what, God Yr purposes move forward! Let us choose praise n serve Him with a delightful heart.
What U are is God's gift to U, what U become is yr gift to God.

May Yr spirit of excellence rain down on all of us! Help us to stay fixed on U,the Unchanging One in a world of changes..As life gets tougher, I pray God U will give us more of Yr praise on our lips. Let us be vigilant in prayer with thanksgiving.

"My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." "Therefore," said Paul, "most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong"(2 Corinthians 12:9-10)

There are times when holding on to our Master's robe is all that we can do. It is all that He wants us to do.
Christ in you, the hope of Glory (Colossians 1:27).

Evan the "Almighty"?



Evan the ''Almighty" seems to be having a hearty time @NUH when we visited him this afternoon..(Pic speaks a 1000words yeah.)


But seriously Thank God hes not suffering from Appendicitis (per doctor's earlier diagnosis) hence no need for operation Phew..
but poor chap, Hes been put on drip n has not eaten since the nite b4..
Dat explains the grin on his face when lunch is finally being served to him!!

Evan has since been discharged and I believe is now resting well @ home sweet home. Take care dude.

Fly the flag high, Woody




Cant believe it..Another member of Z3 is leaving tomoro for his basic flying course (SO soOn sob sob)

Juz wanna say TAKE CARE Woody!!!!

Much as we are reluctant to see U go, I know God has nothing but the best in store for U. He has a perfect plan.

Ask God to give U a spirit of excellence. Shine His Light and fly the flag of Jesus high!
Rem to look up when things look down. God is with U thru it all!
Have a safe voyage..May the Lord keep you and bless you abundantly.
We'll keep U in our prayers..
Look forward to Yr return with Success! We are proud of U..


We'll miss U Woody,
Kallang (on behalf of Z3 )

Mission Trip Dec 2006-Hosanna

I love Team Saam!!




Arent they adorable??
Well folks know its a super long time ago-Mission Trip Dec2006..just wanna share some of the memorable pics/vivid memories..

Its my 1st mission trip and Seow n I were attached to NissiCheryl's group. We have great bonding with these kids as they are so full of drive and passion. I always believe one cant go too wrong if we have Christ in us.

Honestly I wasnt dat keen on going esp when the date drew closer cos I have problem adapting fast n most imp of all I have insomnia problem!! Gosh Im a potential burden man..a true dilemma.
However I reali thank God for the conviction to go/opportunity given cos I saw God work tremendously in Thailand. I learnt dat everyone has a role to play n God could use all of us to accomplish His work so long we are willing to be his hands n feet. What We are is God's gift to Us, What we become is our gift to Him. Let God take over n cast all yr worries on Him! Its all abt God not us.

Despite the language barrier,we learn to rely fully on God aka led by the Holy Spirit.We performed alot of skits/songs and prayer sessions. By means of illustrated drawings/cards, we picked up basic Thai words plus lots of hand gesturing n went all out to share the Gospel. Everyone has the right to know abt Jesus. Praise the Lord..Healing took place and alot of the Thai villagers came to the Lord! Of course theres others who were sceptical or rather they simply needed more time. I try not to be discouraged as I believe we have planted seeds in them n I sincerely prayed dat the Holy spirit will stir up interest in them causing them to learn more abt our Lord Jesus. Afterall, Its God who draws all to Him.
My heart goes out to the Thai villagers as they are so kind-hearted n earnest in seeking a simple living. I see dat we brought lots of laughter and joy esp to the kids/orphans. I simply adore them.. I pray that theres proper followup for those who received Christ n that more will call upon the name of the Lord n be saved!
