Week 5 - Harro taro!

Harro taro!

What is taro? It's something like yam. Okay it's random and I don't always make sense so you can ignore that :D

We're in the middle of week 5 and wow – okay... it's week 5 ALREADY! Hopefully no one's lagging too far behind in school work. If you are, it's a good time to catch up (so I say to myself :P), especially with mid-sem tests approaching (I'm here to be your nagging mother ha ha).

Last week we went to Melb City for OCF, followed by pizza and pasta on Lygon Street! The week before, we watched a video by evangelist Reinhart Bonnke. Was it good enough for you guys to remember? :P It was an enactment of the story of the Prodigal Son in the Bible. At the end, Reinhart Bonnke spoke about the matchless message of Christ, saying, Our arms of love are the only arms He has to use on earth. Our hands become His hands. And our voice, His voice. We have been given the greatest privilege of all – to proclaim the matchless message.

Did/Does that challenge you in any way?

E-night (25 Sep) is fast approaching – about 36 days more! It is my prayer that we will not become absorbed with just the technicalities, but keep in view what this is ultimately about – proclaiming the matchless message of Christ's love which is freely available for all. May God continually mould each of our hearts; like David, let's ask God to restore to us the joy of salvation if we have forgotten it (Psalm 51:12), and rejoice that our names are written in heaven (Luke 10:20).

And then, sharing Christ will be an overflow of our lives. Surely we'll make an IMPACT then! :)


Some announcements...

OCF this Friday, 7pm, Rotunda 3

We're having Bible Study in cell groups this week, continuing on the book of Ephesians! Do have a read of Ephesians 2 and ask God what He wants to teach you through that chapter. Also, join us for prayer at 6.20pm before that!

NPMM Booklet
That's National Prayer and Missions Month. Remember the booklet was sent out about 2 weeks ago? Is anyone using it? At least, do pray for the country you were "assigned" to alright? That is, if you believe prayer works :D I'm attaching it in this email again just in case.


Okiedokes, see you soon!
You are very loved, you know that! Jesus loves you. Jesus likes you!

In His love,
Faith! (:
