"It is not asking God to bless you then you do it but it is for you to go ahead and do it then God will open doors for you." We should all learn to live a life of Faith.
This is a sermon video from Cornerstone Church in Singapore.

Farewell Dinner @ 23
Unit 23 had seen quite a few gathering for the OCF-ers of UQ. This most recent one was for our ex-president Dr. ST. ha-ha...May you have many wonder and fruitful years in your new season of life. Remember the times you had devoted in service to the Overseas Christian Fellowship @ UQ + QUT. You will definitely be missed. Will see ya around. God Speed!!!
A Graduate's Prayer
Dear Lord,
As I look toward the future
Bright hope conducts this prayer,
For I know the plans You have for me
Were wrought with divine care.
Holy Spirit, lead me.
Let me run at your command,
Yet be still and know that You are God
When trouble's close at hand.
Your Word will be a lamp for me,
A guide to light my way,
A solid place to set my feet,
A compass when I stray.
May I live my life to praise You,
Not for fortune, nor for fame,
May everything I say and do
Bring glory to your name.
May my eyes stay fixed upon You
As I seek the way that's pure,
Tasting your love and goodness
Sleeping and rising secure.
Planted by your living streams
I'll delight in all your ways,
Hidden by your sheltering wings
With new mercies for each day.
Even in a dangerous land
When storms threaten to destroy,
At the cross I'll stand upon the
Rock My Strength, my Hope, my Joy.
Dear Lord, show me your favor,
At all times keep me blessed,
May your face ever shine upon me,
With peace and perfect rest.
Amen.

A day at Doulos
The OCFers visited Doulos (made 1914) on 16 Aug 2008. Here are a group of photos. If you wanna see more of this old historical vessel, be sure to click the link provided at the end of this blog. Doulos will sail into history come 2011 and perhaps a new vessel will take over its mission. The crew told us that the vessel will have its dry dock procedure this December when it dock in Singapore. Given the age of Doulos (94 this year), our guide said something at the beginning of the tour, "The makers of Titanic said even God couldn't sink and We say only God can keep Doulos afloat." In case you wasnt aware this old vessel had only 1 engine and modern ships had a couple backups.

Another OCFer went back to SG liao
So fast it has been a week since Dawn went home to resume her duties as a teacher. The fellow OCFers had a prayer session for her at a unique venue; right in front of the Brisbane General Post Office.
Here are some of the photos I managed to capture last week;

There is comfort, peace and strength in the Lord
Hello all,
I have 2 songs to share with you. You've probably heard of them before but I think the lyrics of these 2 songs are quite meaningful. I've been through it and I know what the songs say are true. You might be going through a difficult time now but don't give up. Continue to hold on to the Lord, trust in Him, seek Him and commit every part of your life to Him. Enjoy your walk with the Lord in that valley. When you walk out of that valley and stand on the mountain of God, your heart will be filled with joy and you'll be happy that you've chosen to trust Him and follow Him.
All praise and glory and honour be to the Lord our God!
Enjoy the songs and to those who are having exams, all the best!
1. Praise You in This Storm
2. Mountain of God
Blessings
Tiff

Yes... let's pray for them!
I'm not sure how much do all of you know about the China worst-hit earthquake and Myanmar cyclone. I'm going to tell a little bit about these 2 disasters and hope that together we can pray for them.
China's earthquake death toll has risen to 60,560 with another 26,221 people missing and 353,290 injured. The death toll could rise to 80,000 or more . Nearly every building in Yingxiu (one of the worst-hit town) was destroyed and no residents remain there. About half of the town's 18,000 residents are either dead or missing and most survivors left on foot, leaving behind a ghost town (see pictures here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/gallery/2008/may/20/china.chinaearthquake?picture=334257550 ). When the earthquake happened, it was school time so lots of children were killed. A lot of them are the only child in the family. Lots of children lost their parents too and some of them are still very young. Imagine, they must be so devastated and helpless.
Because some of the roads are destroyed, the army got to walk few hours to reach those towns. Some of the soldiers were dehydrated while carrying the injured people out and some died. Lots of helpers take care of the victims w/o sleep days and nights and one of them died of heart attack!
Sichuan is home to the world's largest water project, this earthquake has scarred nearly 70 dams and they might be in danger of bursting. It has also caused new lakes to be formed. That's not all, it was reported that the raining season is coming soon. The huge amount of water might burst the dam and cause flood. This can bring more damage and cost more lives. Also, millions of them are homeless, where are they going to hide from the heavy rain?
As for Myanmar cyclone, news were not reported as much as China earthquake. However, it's definitely as serious as the earthquake. It was reported that until now Myanmar has blocked significant amounts of aid and refused visas to foreign specialists. 3 weeks after the cyclone, it is estimated that 134,000 people were killed and leaving millions homeless. I really don't know how these people survive without sufficient help. The UN chief has tried very hard to ask the ruling junta to let the international aids to go into Myanmar especially the worst-hit delta. You can read more from the website ( http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article3994628.ece ) Anyway, let's not talk about politics, I just pray that God will soften the heart of these rulers so that lives can be saved.
As we live so comfortably in these safe countries, worrying not about food for tomorrow and shelter over our head. Let's remember those who are suffering now. Though we can't be there to help them, except for donation, I think we as Christians can definitely help by praying for them. God has taught us to always support those in need in prayers, let's not forget about what God has asked us to do.
So please do remember them in prayer!

Let's Pray
We have heard the news, we have seen the images.
How can our hearts not be moved, how can we stay silent?
Let's pray for God to move among the grieving parents, the orphans, and homelessness
that they will find comfort and hope and strength
Let's pray that God will soften the hearts of the leaders and give them wisdom
that they will do what is right
Let's pray for God's protection over the workers
that they will have the strength and perseverance
Let's pray against those who are evil
that they will not steal, rob or murder amidst the crisis
Let's not be bothered by what the media is telling us.
The news may be wrong, the images may be misleading.
It doesn't matter whether it's Burma or China.
We know God's children are suffering.
He hears their cries and their pleas.
Let's listen to His heartbeat for the suffering.
Let's feel the pain of the suffering.
And pray. Pray like we have not done before.
For miracles to happen. For hope to carry on. For doors to be opened.
Remember the faces of those whom you are praying for.

He never leaves
Hi boys and girls,
Today's (13/5) daily bread message is quite comforting (http://www.rbc.org/devotionals/our-daily-bread/2008/05/13/devotion.aspx). Go and have a read. It reminds us that God never leaves us when we feel good, bad, happy, sad, down, helpless, lost, disappointed or whatever. He's always watching us.
Other than that, it also gives me another feeling. It reminds me to always go back to God, to check if I'm close enough to Him. Did I walk too fast and leave Him behind? Always check... always go back to God. I feel safe when I'm with Him. He has all that I need... the peace, comfort, rest, strength, courage, love, hope and many more.
Have you checked today?

Finding Security in God
I cried to him, "O my God, who lives forever,
don't take my life while I am so young!
Long ago you laid the foundation of earth
and made the heavens with your hands.
They will perish, but you remain forever;
they will wear out like old clothing.
You will change them like a garment
and discard them.
But you are always the same;
you will live forever.
The children of your people will
live in security."
Psalm 102:24-28
don't take my life while I am so young!
Long ago you laid the foundation of earth
and made the heavens with your hands.
They will perish, but you remain forever;
they will wear out like old clothing.
You will change them like a garment
and discard them.
But you are always the same;
you will live forever.
The children of your people will
live in security."
Psalm 102:24-28
Faith
Nature of faith is taking the risk.
Object of our faith is what matters, not our feelings.
Object of our faith is what matters, not our feelings.
Faith deals with the invisible, it's personal and it involves just u and God.
Faith is a promise and it requires preparation.
Responding to God is our response to Faith.
Trusting is exercising our Faith.
Special mid year deal for Malaysian
There is an interesting promo from Singapore Tourism Board. Watch video to find out more details. cheers
