CCA week, Welcome Tea & 1st CLM

School term began with a big bang of activities like CCA week (30th May - 3rd June) where we have booth in the SP sports hall. The whole process was tiring and hot as there was not enough ventilation in the hall. However, we managed to have 140+ students signed up with us at our booth.

on 07/06/05 We had our welcome tea, we thank God for bringing the 60 over freshmen students to attend our welcome tea. Chang Yao challenged us with a message to be light of the world to light up our campus with the gospel of Christ!

Our very 1st Campus Life Meeting started this 14/06/05 as I spoke with fear and trembling to exhort us to run and finish the race of our lives. We hope to build students deeply in God's Word. Impart Vision of our ministry, Community of Christ-centred and people friendly community and Unity within the Crusaders.

Our enrollment team finally close with a celebration and evaluation at SP staff lounge. Thank God for bringing us through and giving us the opportunity to trust Him to overcome battles that we fought for the sake of our next generation of freshmen students.

WELL DONE! GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!

Combine Poly Chalet Thanksgiving

It was an exciting journey to see 83 students attending our combine Poly Chalet. It has been the 1st time i coordinated such a big chalet for students. In the process of preparation 2 important things happened . 17th May, My collegue and friend, Christopher Tan has just ended his 1 year battle against Lukemia and has finally been called home by the Lord at the age of 28. My grandma went through her operation for her breast cancer on 18th May. I was amazed that she was discharged the following day and is able to move around at home. Praise God!

The song you are hearing on this blog is what God has been speaking to me through the life of Job. The bridge spoke a lot to me. He gave and take away, He gave and take away, my heart will choose to say, Lord blessed be your name.

BBQ thanksgiving

It was really amazing for what the Lord has done on the perfect day 05/05/05. We had our very first BBQ for freshmen. It was the biggest ever BBQ I've ever organised in my whole life with 98 students who attended. My heart is full of thanksgiving to God for what He had done in bringing each and every freshmen. Though the heavy shower of blessings came so unexpectedly, but God is still in control. For more exciting stories about BBQ, check it out @ http://campus.sccc.org.sg/sp and to view the photos please go to http://share.shutterfly.com/action/share/landingA2?i=EeEM3LZu1ctnLg&open=1&x=1&sm=0&sl=0

Enrollment Thanksgiving

Wow I really thank God how He brought us through this 1 week of intensive freshmen recruitment. It was really tiring, both mentally and physically. Thank God for the 6 freshmen who prayed and received Christ! Please pray for good follow through process.

In the midst of all this rejoicing, I got to know my grandma is having 3rd stage breast cancer. time is short and please pray for someone to share the gospel in Teo Chew to her. Cos my Teo Chew really sucks....

2 months of wakes

I can't take it anymore... my heart has been shattered time after time these 2 months. So many people i know died within this 2 months (8 wakes at a go). God my heart really hurts, tears flowing like water fall... You gave and take away, you gave and take away, my heart will choose to say, Lord blessed be your name.
I finally understood what it means to rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourns. The hardest blow came on 13th April, when my SP course mate, fellow crusade mate, supporter and friend, Luda Tan Kwang passed away while running on the track mill. It was a big blow right into the core of my being. I've attended his wedding last month and never to expect to attend his wake. His wife was my fellow mission trip mate to Mongolia 7 years ago. Life is indeed unpredictable. No one can choose which day, hour, place he is going to be born or die. God has the final say to the span of our lives. We might not know why but God knows and He is in control.

My Colon operation 3rd anniversary

As I took time today to remember Good Friday, I also remembered the day that i experienced the most pain in my colon 3 years ago after my operation. I suffered from multiple polyposis (Symptoms may include diarrhea, bleeding from the end portion of the large intestine (rectum), fatigue, abdominal pain, and weight loss. If left untreated, affected individuals usually develop cancer of the colon and/or rectum.) at the age of 23. The operation took 1 meter of my big intestine. Haha by now you can guess how Old I am :)

3 Days after that painful & dreadful day, a miracle happened, I was able to move about in my ward. My parents were surprised to see that.

Jesus died for you and I on the cross where all the weight of our sins were placed upon Him, the perfect lamb of God who takes away our sins. He did not stopped there, but he rose again on the 3rd day!

Gloomy Day

Yesterday 11March, I went to Timothy's Dad wake & all the way to Mandai crematory. It was a reminder for me that though we mourn for the lost of Timothy's dad but our mourning is with hope because we will see him again one day in heaven.

I was shocked when i reached SP today to hear that a NIE student that i knew committed sucide...She was in my Metamorphosis Conference class 2 years ago. I really wondered what happened to her that caused her to give up hope on life and on God?

This Question asked by a student "Does Christians who commit sucide goes to heaven?"
To me, I'm not sure but what do you think?

Words from a blessed heart!

Today I was glad to be sharing my thoughts during PXP about what it means 'blessed to be a blessing!' God has blessed us so much that we can be a blessing to others (Gen12:2-3) I thank our Heavenly PaPa for his providence of the funds i need to raise. A BIG THANK YOU to my Enrolment Committee as we stay together as a team to fight for our next generation of SP freshmen. Let's press on together in trusting God! Indeed we are blessed to be a blessing for those who are going for Gen12II & for those of us staying back we are blessed to be a blessing to the next generation.
