Dear brothers and sisters and friends out there,

Praise the Lord for today for it is Missions Sunday. Out of 2 congregations of about 250 people, in the past few years, so far, we have 187 persons who have gone for short term missions. Praise the Lord GMC has made a difference for Christ in mission. We need to pray that we will keep doing it and there will be 2 persons who will emerge and serve God full time by 2010.

I just came back from Belaga Penan mission at Long Singu, Long Luar and Long Tangau. This time, I went deeper and tried to minister, the responses from 3 long houses were good. Everybody in long house is for Jesus! You can expect no matter result than. It is now up to SCAC and GMC to harvest. Please pray that the whole of SCAC will be able to raise another 12 missionaries to be stationed at the other 6 Penan long houses.

I am so privileged to be a disciples of Jesus.

Dear brothers and sisters and friends out there,

I pray that you are empowered by our Lord Jesus Christ to make disciples of all nations. I pray that God will extend your territory for Him. You see a need and meet it and feel convicted to go further.

For about 2 months now, me and wife have been giving lunch to a Primary 6 girl in Pujut Chung Hua Primary School. My 3 children who studied there told my wife that this girl would request fellow pupils to give her left over food. When I heard about it and also my wife were touched by the Holy Spirit to prepare extra food for her. I remembered I was so called by God to feed her that I wept in the school as I thought of her hunger. Praise the Lord, we are able to respond to the call.

I pray that when you are called to serve God in any way, you will respond and make a difference for Jesus.

God bless.

Dear brothers and sisters and friends out there,

Today, GMC is celebrating our Parents’ Sunday. Praise the Lord we have parents of our Sunday School children joining the service. The whole service was packed. We had about 80 chidren singing obeying our parents. We also gave out presents to brothers and sisters who are more 60 years old.

I also preached a message on “Teaching your children to fear God". Please refer to GMC website to read it.

I also took the opportunity to publicise for 6As parenting. The 6As are acceptance, appreciation, affection, availability, accountability, authority. The district commission of social concerns is organizing it at Hwai En Methodist Church, on 8th August, 2009, 1.30pm to 9.30pm, on Saturday. We have limited spaces for 50 persons only. If you are interested, pls email me, I can pass you the registration form.

God bless.

Dear brothers and sisters,

Praise the Lord for the successful social concerns project carried out at Tabika Perpaduan, Permyjaya by our church today. We closely with Permyjaya Methodist Church, Tudan Preaching Centre, Diabetes Association, and Optical Association. Our church had sent 30 volunteers to work closely with the other churches and associations. This is really Jesus at work through us. Thanks to all the brothers and sisters to who worked so hard. May God bless you.

The response was good and thank God for the good weather. When I was there for about 1 hour, I saw people queing up to see the eye specialist. I saw Malays, Ibans, Chinese, young and old, christians and non-christians. We manage to entertain 300 plus people of all races. 44 medical cases need further treatment; 87 pairs of glasses were given out; 317 blood tests were done for diabetes.

Today, at the morning service when we did Christian Soldier Sunday (a day we remember the works done by pastors and full time worker) , I was very encouraged by a statement made by brother Paul Wong, the lay leader of GMC. He said that in past, GMC church members tend to ask what pastor could do for them, now, they said what they could do for Christ. The change in attitude towards pastor and Christ is an excellent example of life transformation experienced by church leaders and members. I strongly believe this has to do with our prayers; more close fellowship; the 9 month of disciple ministry which we have been doing about 4 years now.

Nowadays, praise the Lord, I am enjoying my ministry in GMC even there are challenges and stress I need to face everyday.

Faithful disciple of Jesus,

Dear brothers, sisters and friends out there,

I pray that you are excited to make disciples in your capacity as a disciple of Christ. Live a life of impact and help others to become disciples of Jesus. You only have one chance to live. You only live one time. So, treasure your life on earth by making disciples.

Praise the Lord I will be leading a team of Mei Ann Methodist Church members (6 of them and 1 from SIB, a photographer) and disciples of Jesus to Belaga for Penan mission (Long Singu, Long Tangau, Luar), 7th to 9th July.

Praise the Lord for Trinity Methodist Church will be leading a team of 7 persons to go for Belaga Mission in 7th to 9th Dec, 2009. Rev Dr Wong Kee Sing will be the team leader. They responded to my sermon on 31st May and eventually, the church mission committee made a decision to go.

I have preached on prayer today. My points of application are praying constantly and praying during critical moments in our lives. You may like to read my sermon in this website.

Dear brothers, sisters and friends out there,

I have just come back from Sibu Methodist Convention. One powerful strategy I learn from the convention is about the Blue Ocean strategy. It is simply to go where there is no competition. For me, there can be 2 applications on it. Help the poor and make disciples among them. Nobody will compete to help the poor and make them disciples.

In the last weekend, I conducted the marriage renewal seminar for about 40 indigenous brothers and sisters at Trinity Methodist Church BM ministry. Most of whom are husbands and wives. On Sunday morning, I preached at the TMC BM service, we helped 24 indigenous married couples to make marriage covenant before God. They had never done it before. This helped to stablize their marriages. I see these indigenous people becoming stronger and stronger disciples for Jesus.

For the second service, I preached at TMC English service. I challenge them to respond to God’s calling to do mission at Belaga. 5 Persons responded. Pray that Kuching TMC will send a team to go to Belaga.

Today, in GMC I preached the challenging message of taking on the commission of Jesus to make disciples of all nations. You may like the whole sermon in this website.

Dear brothers and sisters,

I praise our Lord, Jesus, for the way He works among us in the area of mission.

Today is Sunday, 24th May, 2009 (Aldersgate’s Sunday). It is our annual Sunday where we remember how John Wesley felt his heart was strangely warmed. I described it as how he was touched by the Holy Spirit, and from then on, his life was never the same anymore. It was on 24th May, 1738. He was 25 years then! One thing that happened after the experience was his sermons changed for better and impacted many and so many people to Christ that he had to organized them in class, bands and society in order to disciple them. He started a Methodist movement! I was and am still very touched by his life after I researched his life in my master of ministry programmes. I aspired to be John Wesley to preach with passion and go out of my comfort to preach outside the church in other areas as far as I can go. He went throughout England and eventually sent missionaries to America.

Nevertheless, Jesus is my Lord and Saviour and I am His disciple.

John Wesley was very mission minded and followed Jesus 100%. GMC is very much trying to do the same. Sister Grace Chew shared about her mission experience in the morning and evening services. I listened to her sharing and I read her testimony before this. I thought this sister was going to stop at one time of mission as she was fulfilling her promise to God. To my surprise, in the midst of the evening service, she put up her hand and volunteered to go for Balingian mission on 22nd to 24th August. I could not help but believe that this is the Spirit of Mission working in her. My heart is so encouraged and touched that I write this for your all to read. So far, since we fix a vision of seeing 100 persons by the year 2010, to do short term mission since the year 2002, 95 persons have participated. I believe we definitely can reach our goal by the end of the year. The remaining challenge now is the vision of seeing 2 full time missionaries to be raised from the congregation by 2010.

Praise the Lord we have Brother Aaron Hii, Brother Peter Ting, Rev Dr Wong Kee Sing (Trinity Methodist Church, Kuching, the chairman of Sarawak Indigenous People Committee, Board of Evangelism, SCAC) and myself will going to Belaga, crossing the river to survey 2 Penan long houses (Long Tangau and Long Luar) tommorrow. Let us pray that after this GMC will send a team to go there.

A Disciple of Jesus who is all for Jesus and mission,
