Yes guys, there's OCF this Friday!

Hello awesome possums!

Okay you all are not possums, but er... yeaaa. Anyway yes hello (:

Just a reminder that OCF starts this Friday! Yes THIS Friday - tell all your fellow OCFers, especially the blur-er ones! Heh. It's welcome night and there'll be light dinner-ish after OCF (does that make it supper? But it's a heavy supper? Depending on what your dinner/supper is usually like ^_- ) .

Do bring friends to join in the fellowship and fun. As OCF, we endeavour to reach out, build up and send back, and here is one opportunity to reach out. We don't want to be in our own "little corner of the world" with only Christian friends, but we want to live lives that shine - and who else will they shine to, but to those who are "in the dark"?

As we meet new friends in new classes, let us not be afraid to mention OCF - you never know what their response might be. It being the start of the sem, people are sometimes more open to "new" things. Just be bold for Christ! And wait and see how God can and will honour those who honour Him (:

So it's this Friday, 7pm at R3. Do join for prayer at 6.20pm before that if you can.

Also, if you happen to be free tomorrow (Wed) from 11-12.30pm, feel free to join Sue Ann, myself (0422152040) and a few others in worship and prayer, even if you can pop by for just 10 minutes. It'll be at the campus center basement in a piano room.

Have a good rest of the week possums!

Love, Faith!

Hello to sem two!

Hello dear OCFers!

Was getting back grades for sem one shocking for anyone? Haha. How did the past two weeks of holidays go by for you? Hopefully, you had fun and are well rested, all ready to start a new semester!

The day after Winter Camp (how many of you were blessed by it! Big round of applause to the comm and GOD!), some of us packed our bags and flew off the Sydney for Hillsong conference, which was good! The trip was fun, but now I'm thinking - oh no, school's starting in just two days! I am so not ready! On the other hand, I'm also glad for the semester to start - new beginnings, new things - what is God going to do this sem? In sem two, we're having stuff like E-night and mission trips - loads to participate in to make an IMPACT on our Clayton campus! So hey, let's get excited ya?

For the next week, what's happening:

Orientation
21 July, Tuesday, 11am - 3pm
We have a booth at the campus center, so do pop by to help and at least say hello if you can! It's a time
to take the very first step of REACHING OUT to fellow students, especially new ones who might be feeling a bit lost, or finding a Christian club, or looking for some place to call "home" and "family"! So come be a part of reaching out yeps? If you can be there, do let me know (chinzjinghui@gmail.com/0422152040).

Welcome night
24 July, Friday, 7pm
Friday night OCF starts again! Yay! More details on this coming soon :D




Play hard these last two days, and get some good sleep before school starts on Monday! And one more thing - something to share:

One of the things I've been asking God recently is - God, how can I be aligned with your purposes for OCF Clayton next semester? What do you want me to do? And I've been taking time to listen. I encourage you to do the same. Our theme verse says -

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind.
To release the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour" (Luke 4:18-19).

Sometimes this might sound a bit extreme - proclaim freedom for prisoners? Proclaim recovery of sight for the blind? But do take a look at every day life; in essence, these verses are saying - God is with me. How may I shine His light?

Perhaps take some time to ask and listen - God, what did you put me in Melbourne, in Clayton, for? How can I be Your "hands and feet", to make an IMPACT for your kingdom?

In His gracious love,
Faith (:
See you soon!
