Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
-Romans 12: 2

Let the joy of the Lord be your strength- ENJOY!

For the past few weeks in NE we have been talking about Having a New Beginning in God.

New Beginning has already begun. NE we have been breaking 100 for the past 2 weeks!~
New Future now awaits our reach!

God spoke to me through Neh 8:10
Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

God wants to clothe NE with a new spirit and a new culture- Enjoy!

We want to enjoy in NE.

Enjoy each other.
Enjoy serving and loving Jesus.
Enjoy seeing people receiving Jesus.
Enjoy being a shepherd and a leader.
Enjoy winning our schools for the Lord.
Enjoy going through valley of darkness with one another.
Enjoy the process of anticipation for growth and breakthroughs.
Enjoy stepping on each others' toes and yet choosing to forgive and accept.

Enjoy living life in Christ. We simply enjoy. :D

Let's build a strong and biblical community in each of our units and CGs.
Let's see a strong and biblical community being formed in each of our schools.

Even as schools are reopening, we will be searching for people who need Jesus in their life.
We will ask for R.A.I.N.

No... Not this rain....

It's this R.A.I.N.!

First Frontier Camp!

The camp was indeed was special one for me and for the rest of NE. Think we all agree on that. We all felt that indeed it was a time of new beginning for many of us. Many hearts were touched in the camp. Vision and passion were poured like an opened floodgate throughout the camp.

People like Wenxiong and Liehao responded to start on their search for their own CG in Holy Innocent and Deyi, while sisters like Lijia declared their faith and determination to see their schools being won by Jesus!

Just a conversation that went go btw Sunny and me:

sunny./ says:

(•·÷[GÏЀØÑ]÷·•) says:
wow!!

We are growing NE! Our confirmation broke 100 on friday's night- we hit 114!
Quite sure we broke the 100 mark today too looking at the numbers of people in service today!

Personally for me God spoke in a real personal manner to me in this camp. One of it is about how I should really see it as such as great privilege to serve along with the youths. Where else can you find such a bunch of people who are totally crazy for God, energetic, passionate, available and mouldable? Only the youths! What's the point of investing our youth solely on things such as CCA etc.? No one will boost over their CCA achievements at the age of 75... Only what's done for the Kingdom will last.

When we serve God and enjoy the process, we can look back and say that those were the days we toiled hard and had so many memorable times together with one another in NE. When we grow old, we can still talk about our days in Yhope and how we are still fervently loving Jesus perhaps at the age of 70+! Let's do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pictures' time!

Yeongdeng and Marcus- the two hilarious dudes and stars for our NE Presentation:

Final March: Let's win all the 30 schools in NE!!!
The 3 kinds of seeds: Yeongdeng(durian) was so funny! "See what see, I poke you then you know!"
Preparing for GAP- Emerging Winner!~
St Nicholas' Girls!
The NEA's boys- Let's conquer AMK schools together!

Scene of the people in NE taking initiative to help Chantel in finishing up the newspaper skirts just before the performance- so touching!~
The NEB guys practising their 'Hakka Dance'
(Think Chee Hwee should be awarded the most enthu award... Haha...)

Family Photos!!!


We won!!!!

Excerpt from Jiancong's blog:
Northeast did wonderfully good on GAP. It just seems like northeast has always been winning on such 'mega' events. The key to them winning was their involvement of the whole district and the sound effects.

Unity I say! Amen!~

Finally... The most gorgeous hunk in NE...

All In You

From the past, You have come to my heart

Shown Your Grace, filled me more than enough

Like the rain, falling on my life in every part

[Nowadays], You are still the same

[In Your Name], there is unfailing love

[Overflow from heaven above]

[Can’t stop praising You]

For such a great love

(x2)

Chorus:

You’re the Lover of my heart

The Author of my life

The Power of my soul

Jesus You’re my all

You never let me fall

You hold me in Your hands

You’re the Lover of my heart

The Author of my life

The Power of my soul

Jesus You’re my king

In You I have everything

Yes forever everyday

All in You


Phi 3:7-9

7But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.
