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

A well deserved rest!

Finally the Christmas Party is over!!!

Haven't got a serious rest for a long long time. Spent my earlier 3-months school vacation in my work attachment, thereafter was the reopening of school term. Straight after exams was camp/anniversary and following after that was preparation for the Christmas party.

Last night was my last major event to manage for year 2007! I can now officially take lighter steps all the way till the end of this year! Hurray!

A big thanks for all who participated in this event to make it a success! It was through this entire party that I was reminded once again how wonderful it is to serve together in God's household. I love this family of God!

Most importantly, my prayer is that last night's party managed to connect all our newly found brothers and sisters to the new community they have found with us YHOPE.

Heartbeat at this moment: Retention of every new believers in NE!

Hi leaders,

Greetings to you!

First and foremost, I just want to thank all of you for another year of commitment and selfless contribution to Jesus and His people. It had made a definite difference to the Kingdom. I am really thankful to God for the opportunity to serve Him with you.

On that note, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage us to give it our best shot for this coming Christmas weekend. Do lock arms with me in the following ways

1) Pray for a bountiful harvest

Only the Holy Spirit can move the hearts of men. While we do all that is humanly possible, we need God to move the hearts of men. Pray that the pre-believers and backsliders will have a very special moment with God during the coming weeks small group meetings and this weekend services.

2) Invite pre-believers and backsliders

Lets be Gods messengers in sending His invitations out to His banquet. This is a good time to invite our friends, school mates, colleagues, our family members and relatives. Christmas is the time where peoples hearts are strangely open to attending church and knowing more about Jesus!

3) Participate during the services

The gospel is preached through every one of us during the services. Do participate and give our full support to the events that are taking place on the stage. Together, we will make the gospel come alive in all its beauty.

Have a most joy-filled Christmas.

See you at The Rock!
