The Good Harvest






It is wonderful to witness our ex-members returning for Chinese New Year joining us at our Thanksgivings Service and also participating in the celebration.
On 18th.Feb.2007 we had Kean Yong leading the worship, we have Zhi Ern reading the Scriptures, we have Tuck Chin giving a testimony and we have Pastor Seng Kong ministering from the Word.
We have Ching Li joining the Home visitation. I am sure the one who rejoices most is our Youth Worker Sis.Tong Gaik Sim. She had been in the ministry over the past 17 years. To Pastor Kiwi these are some of the fruits for the past 30 years of fulltime ministry. It is surely a wonderful "harvest". Praise the Lord.

Looking Ahead into the Future

Training is necessary if we want more believers to be equipped for church ministry.

We make use of the recent public holidays to organised a two-day training seminar for some 28 Nepalese believers. The objective of the training is to prepare them for active church planting and personal evangelism when they are back home.

We had three modules in this first training. One on Church Leadership: Leadership calling, Leadership Character and Leadership Role. We have one on Evangelism: Knowing what is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Understanding The Great Commission and the need and know-how to Share Our Faith. We have also one module on Local Church Government: Know the Overview of A Local Church, Have an idea of the Local Church Government and some Tips for Local Church Management.

During the seminar, we made them responsible for various duties:cleanliness of the facility, duty for setting up tables, be aware of security of the building and facility etc. The campers were also giving time for group discussions during two assignment period. each group leader was asked to present the report of their discussion before the start of the next sessions. We had also one sessions of group Bible studies on the Book of Philemon.

At the end of the training , members were asked to share what they have learnt from the sessions, and what they hope to do when they are back home. Respond for the sharing was overwhelming. Praise God for such an opportunity to work with the Nepalese.
