Giving Our Blessings


Our elders committed this couple to work with the Vietnamese. They have just joined us for this ministry. We pray that God will do wonderful works through this young couple.
They joined us in faith, and we have to look to God to provide them their monthly allowances. If God touch your heart, you may want to support them through our VN Ministry. Joe is a graduate and he holds a Master in Div. One of our sisters in NTGH has given them her flat to stay while they are serving with NTGH. Praise the Lord!

God's Provisions for Jireh Home



Rebeka & David are running an Aged Home in Kulim----Jireh Home. It has been 15 years since. They have to feed some 25 inmates.

Praise God, they were invited to share with the saints in NTGH English Assembly on 27/1/2008. From their sharing we see how God has been graciously providing them through both believers and non-believers.

We rejoice with them for the good work done. May God bless them.

Joyful Moment







By God's grace, another three Nepali believers were baptised on 27/1/2008 Together with them was a Sabahan sister.The difference this time is that we have two sisters baptised and two brothers as well. A big crowd came to witness their baptism.
Surely this is a good start for the year 2008. Praise the Lord.

Action speaks louder than words.




I was given the privilege to speak at the New Year Dinner organised by Taiping Gospel Hall on 1st.January 2008. It was held in a restaurant. In fact, it has been their "tradition" for the past few years. A mean of celebration with the intend to share God's love with friends and loved ones.
It is such a friendly atmosphere in a dinner for all the visitors. They sit in to listen to Christian songs and testimonies. They had the opportunity to hear the gospel. Praise God for their leader Mr.Lai Su. He worked hard to plan and to make the occasion a success. This is an example of a working leadership, not one who leads by words of instruction and rebuke, but by personal example and hard work.
Pray that God will raise up more leaders among the assemblies who would lead in the front and getting involved personally in the ministry. This will bring about a revival in the assemblies.

Motivation Seminar




In the business world many of us have attended some form of motivational seminar one time or other. I was thrilled when I was invited to take a series of meetings at the AIGC Leadership Seminar. I was told the nature of the seminar is motivation to serve the Lord.
In fact, at this time of the year, many corporate companies are holding some kind of an Annual Dinner for their staff. The purpose of this dinner is to motivate and to lift up working morale among the staff, and an act of appreciation for their hardwork put in for the year.
I hope church leaders should give a thought of how to encourage their team of leadership to contribute wholeheartedly for the Lord. It is time to review how the leaders are showing their appreciation for the team work of all the participating membership.
Praise God for AIGC. Their team of leadership itself is like a size for many existing small assemblies. They have over 150 membership, on going ministry, missions, and also had expanded from one shop lot to three shop lots.
I can forsee that they will soon plant new churches in the next 10 years.
May God continue to bless AIGC for the good work put in to reach out to the lost.
