I know that it wouldn't be easy,serving n working my attachment.
while i was spending my quiet time,God assure with me this verse:
matthew19:26- with man this is impossible,but with God all things are possible.
I believed that God is in control and he will always be in the center of my life.
wah have been reading my past posts and felt that God u're really so real in my life.Up till now,u're still so faithful to me.But why does people still wants to sin against u?when they know u're real.
This doesn't make sense,if u know that by eating n drinking is the only thing to survive,then the only way that leads to salvation is God.
John14:6-Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

I think God really place a few people under me to help and test me.I believed that this verse from huaxiang really encourages me,Deuteronomy20:4
For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."
I truly believe that God is with me and God with surely be with me during the tough times.
There's some people i truly wanna challenge in this year of 2009
1)Junhong-hey its really blessing to have you as a sheep,i know it may be a little weird,but i know you willl be a faithful person not only to me but also to God,i reallt wanna challenge you to really step out of your comfort zone and continue to serve to ur best and as a CLa continue to take up more responsiblity and really lead your guys not to anywhere else but to God,jiayou!!
2)Aaron-hey i really think its great to have a shep like you,cause you are always passionate about serving God,i know you may feel sad because you miss the old caregroup,but really lets move on,cause 2008 is past and 2009 will be the present,so don't dwell in the past but continue to increase your passion for God into greater heights,really hope to see you giving your best in taking care of marcus wong,i believe God will bless you with greater things if you are able to take care of small things,jiayou
3)Richard-hey you are back under me again,haha,i really have alot of dreams and hopes for you,i know that there may be a little understanding between us,cause i may not understand you well enough and may not trust you,but i really hope you will give both of us time to understand more about each of ourselves.I may not be more caring and understanding like marcus,but why noy give me a chance to grow like that,i know that there are some people in the group that you may not like,but why not learn to accept one another just like how God accept us of who we are,so in year 2009,i know you are alot of things to do and have classes till 4 and i know its tough but i really hope you can give your best to your prioneering ministry,i really hope to see you as a shepherd soon,step out of ur comfort zone and courage to serve him,jiayou
Yup so i really wanna thank god for giving me this oppprtunty to serve him,i promise that i will give my best in this group and set examples to my people,Amen!!!

Hebrews:Therefore,since we are surrounded by such great cloud of witnesss.Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles,and let us run with perseverance the race marked out fof us.Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,the author and perfector of ur faith,who for the joy sat before him endured the cross,scorning its shame,and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men,so thatyou will not grow weary and lose heart.
So jia you for all the people who are taking care of schools that have not been completed and don't give up.

I truly think that if we want to defeat our enemy,one thing we got to have is a desire.We can't let discourages pull us down,we need to stand up and put all our discourages aside,cause if we are discourages by the problems around us the devils will be laughing at us and surely we don't want the devil to laugh at us,but instead we want the devil to go down,lets really stand and give our very best to God and i believed that he will not shortchange us.I really want to encouraged each and every people in Yhope that,lets not give up and lets really give our best for CG08 amen!!
Just ended my holidays,really think that this holiday was a really fruitful one cause my group is growing slowly.I just want to focus on retaining my newbs cause looking back i find just getting newbs without enough retaining is not healthy.Have been thinking that for the past one year why is montfort not growing,everytime when we are close of breaking a caregroup size,people often leave,why why why.Haizzz i'm really feeling a liitle tired but God always send people around me to encourage me.Looking at how god has bless me with such responsive sheeps i really feel that i'm the luckiest person.I really wanna tell all my sheeps that i really care for them,hope they will see this:
Richard:i really care for you the most,but i don't want to be unfair to other sheeps so i didn't really express it out and i'm a person who really can't express things out.and i believe we have the same characteristic,cause we are both lack of courage.But i really hope u can be mature in ur thinking and i really want to challenge you get out of ur comfort zone to get a sheep asap,so jia you!!
nigel:hey actually i really want you to be mature in ur thinking and doing the right thing at the right time,though most of the time i may be quite strict with you but i really care for you,i really want others to treat you with respect,i don't want others to think that you can't make it,though others think that u can't make it,but i will forever think that u can make it cause there is a big god with us,so i want you to remember that whatever you are doing,you are doing it for God.
Jun hao:hey i truly believed that though u are new but god can still used u greatly.though giggs and yao long are not really connnected with us but let us be sad be really trying to bring them back,i also really want to know you better as a sheep.
Lastly i wanna say that no matter what happens i really wanna get my very best to montfort and to God.</lj-embed>
This is a picture when i was still at saint andrew,i seriously miss that time.
So today early in the morning when my school have not started,i met up my friends who are having school to play soccer at my school field,so they are also having PE at that time so i played soccer for about 2hours with them.I really miss playing with them,not that i'm gay or what but those friends have been my classmates for about 4years and when you suddenly leave the school how can you not forget them.When one by one of them left for their classes,i sat on the bench and think of people in my life that maybe i didin't really appreciate them,i often take them for granted.So this makes me really motivated and really want to start thanking people in my life.
My holidays are about to come and i feel that its really a great chance to appreciate people in my life,giving me also a clear and refresh mind that what am i lacking and also spending more time with god,letting him lead my life in the way he wants.
I also want to take this time to also thank God for what he has done in my life.

WOwwwwwww,Hong kong Lc is the best!!! I really learned many things from this trip and to know many more brothers and sisters.We did many things that we didn't expect:
:Play soccer with the hong kong youth group during the last night
:went to themepark to play all the rollercoaster
:went shopping for the whole day
:got sick for 5days(means the whole hong kong trip i was sick)
:met so many friends from hong kong,got to find out more about their lives and their ways of outreaching and having caregroup even though they all stayed so far from each others
:the most unexpected thing was,we overslept on the last day,when our flight was suppose to be 11 but we woke up at 10:30,in the end we had to book a new tickets which was 8pm,we had no choice by to book it,but i really thank god for this wonderful experience.
Shall post more picture when i get them:)

Really wanna take this time to affirm some people in my life.Firstly i wanna affirm the whole Saint andrew group,i'm really so proud of them cause as a Sa pioneerer before,i know that outreaching in Sa is already so tough but yet sa guys didn't complain and they still came and help to outreach at montfort,i'm so grateful to them(Thank God for the Saint Andrews Guys,people like;Shi peng,Aaron,En ting,Chester,Gabriel,Andy and chee hwee)
Secondly i wanna thank my great shepherd,marcus,Cause he has been such a great help for me.He always encourage me,he makes me feel so much useful in this ministry,i think God have really placed this guy in my life to guide me,thank God for having such a good shepherd
Thirdly i wanna to affirm this person in my life,he is my sheep Richard.I really can see that he is really putting effort of wanting to become a shepherd.Cause richard is a person who is very timid and really doesn't relate to people that he don't know much,i can really understand how he feels cause i'm also a very timid person who doesn't relate to people much.The only thing i can do is to be a role model for him but still thank God for putting this sheep in my life(Jia you richard i believed that you will be a shepherd soon,lets complete montfort toghther)
Thank God for all these wonderful people in my life,God i really wanna do great things for you,so God pls use me greatly,Amen.
Have been feeling quite discourage for the past few weeks,cause caregroup and service attendance haven't been good,feel quite drain,feel that so many problems are coming to me,not only ministry problems but family problems too(just now was quarreling with my dad just because i forget to switch off the lights,its just such a small thing and he have to make such a big fuss).God WHERE ARE YOU!!! I need you.I feel so burdenful for all my sheeps,why are they not growing,is it because of me? I feel really very useless,i can't actually do a job that God wants me to do.Looking at others CL,seeing how they grow their group,really want to be like them.I haven't been myself lately,lost my temper easily,remember last sat,when one of my sheep who promised me that he is coming for srevice,didn't turned up,i scolded him on the phone,but when Marcus talk to him nicely he decided to come.Why is this so,why do i have to lose my temper just like that,why can't i be like marcus who is able to talk nicely who is able to think before he speak.The more i think,the more i think that i'm not suitable to be a CL yet,i just feel that i'm not ready,people's life are in my hands,i can't just see it fall in my own hands.LOrd i really really need your help,i need your strength,i can't rely on my own strength.Lord i believed that with your strength and help,there's no problems that are greater than you.lord i believed all these problems are nothing to you,you are able to handle them,Lord i also promised to stay strong as long as you are there. 2Timothy4:17;I have fought the good fight,i have finished the race,i have kept the faith,Amen.

Have been facing alot of trouble since having more people joining the group.I feel really tired,school ministry school ministry school ministry,all these have been poping out of my mind.I sometimes really feel like giving up,don't know what to do,how can i grow them,would i make matter worst.I even think of some spiritual stuff like why do i even care for them when they don't even care at all.But when i think that if God decide to ignore me or i don't even know him then its not fair for me,then i think back and feel that if i just decide to give up on my new believers then it will not be fair for them.And i shouldn't focus on the problems that i'm facing but instead i should be focus on GOD.I have been thinking that why so many people decide to leave God when they faced trouble,trouble is not a bad thing at all,it makes us grow stonger and be prepared to face tougher trouble ahead of our life.I do think that God really care for everyone,if not why would he want to create us in the first place and why does he want to sent his son to die on the cross for our sins.I really want to be like him,how can i reach his standard?? I really want to love people like how he love,i want to be so graceful like him,Lord i pray that you would give me all the things that i need to be like you,God please pour blessing in my group,Amen

Just want to take this time to remember God's love for me.God never left a sight of me,he was always there when i needed him,he was always there at my lowest point of life.Whenever i feel like giving up,i knew that my God was there.Just wanna tell everyone that don't give up,when things doesn't go your way,trust in the lord cause he's got a plan for us,a plan which is so much better.Why not lets take some time to remember of how has God bless us before,we may have taken for granted but why is that so that we only praise God when something good happen to us,why not praise him even when something that doesn't go in our way happen to us cause God will always be bigger than our problems,God will always be God no one will take his place

You were on His mind
And every tear you cry
Is precious in His eyes
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done
So you would come
Nothing you can do
Could make Him love you more
And nothing that you've done
Could make Him close the door
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done
So you would come
Come to the Father
Though your gift is small
Broken hearts, broken lives
He will take them all
The power of the Word
The power of His blood
Everything was done
So you would come
