亲爱的教会，赞美神，还有十一天我们就要前往在吉隆坡举办的第十四届全国/环球大会。当我们为这盛会倒数，让我们为之祷告：

1. 筹委团
当筹委会忙于为盛会预备，让我们在日常祷告中纪念他们。祷告吉隆坡希望教会将会成为所有来自众希望教会的祝福和鼓励。让我们以祷告支持他们，如同摩西，亚伦和户珥以祷告支持约书亚和以色列军队（出17:8-13)。

2. 盛会
鼓励我们的人为这场盛会的成功禁食祷告。让我们祷告这常年的聚会将会作为我们许多人生命的转捩点，特别是捕捉我们运动的异象。

3.人
召集我们的人为神通过这场盛会触摸他们的生命而祷告。在关怀小组，单位会议，家庭祷告会等等聚会中祷告。

最后，我们想要回应摩西牧师从诗篇50：15的劝勉：
诗50: 15 并要在患难之日求告我，我必搭救你，你也要荣耀我。
当我们呼求神，他就会帮助我们，使他的名得荣耀。
一切荣耀归给神。

信息

刚刚才为两个没有来教会一段时间的弟兄和姐妹写电邮，另再付上每周的牧师信息。这是我每一周都会做的事，已经成为每周必做之事。目地是要与他们保持联系和让他们知道我们生活的点滴。我对神很有信心，他必会行他奇妙的作为，叫那迷失的羊儿回到他那里。

路加福音 15：4-5
你们中间谁有一百只羊，失去一只，不把这九十九只撇在旷野，去找那失去的羊直到找着呢？
找着了，就欢欢喜喜地扛在肩上，回到家里。

Number Doesn't Matter

Only six of us in tonight prayer meeting. The Lord spoke to me number doesn't matter so much. The important is the heart of the people in prayer. The peace of the Lord reigned in my heart immediate after God spoke to me. I saw angels dancing during our praise and worship time and when we start to pray it was like a lot of people were praying. The prayer sound was loud and clear. The Lord said take time and wait in my presence, I will start to do mighty and wonderful things soon.

God is in our midst during the prayer meeting just now. Lord, may You give our people a desire to connect with You and reaching Your heart. Amen !!

等待

人的生命当中有很多的等待。

等待是好的还是不好的呢？等待又有它什么的意义呢?

a) 以史帖等待12 个月才可朝见国王。
b) 摩西在荒野生活了40 年才看到燃烧的荆棘，唤起了神给他的呼召。
c) 以色列人在埃及生活了430 年，神才召摩西带领他们出埃及。
d) 亚伯拉罕等待了15 年才得着第一个孩子。

看了以上的例子后，我有了新的概念对于等待 ：

等待是为了磨练一个人的品格和性格。
等待是为成就神美好的计划。
等待是为了造就神美好的旨意，而不是人的旨意。

Stop failing backward start failing forward!

John C. Maxwell new book teach us how to deal with failure. Make make someone success and achieve anything they want ? It is they are lucky, family background, wealth, greater opportunities, high moral or they have an easy childhood ?

John C. Maxwell said The difference between average people and achieving people is in their perception of and response to failure. Maxwell had learned to make failure his friend. Failure is overcome by all these steps :

• Master fear instead of being mastered by it.

• Break out of the ruts that keep people failing.

• Learn a simple strategy to success after experiencing a major setback.

Leadership expert Peter Drucker says, "The better a man is, the more mistakes he will make, for the more new things he will try." Mistakes really do pave the road to achievement.

Do not be fearful in facing the failure.

We Are Moving

In Dec 09, I will be shifting house again.

Second times for year 2009.

Shifting house can be somethings tiring.

I don't enjoy shifting house.

9 years of staying in Kuantan...

Have help me to accumulate a lot of things.

The most important things is...

I am going to miss the friends and food courts around

Jalan Air Putih and Kuantan Garden.

Hu hu hu..... I am going to miss my current housemate too....

Ha ha ha.....

As I looked into another dimentions,

Shifting house is another way to expand the Kingdom of God.

a)Shifting house allow us to touch one another life.

I thanked God for an opportunity to shift from initial ministry

house to my current house in Air Putih. It blessed me and allow

me to be a blessing to others.

b)Shifting house is a sign that shows Kingdom of God is expanding.

9 years ago, we have one ministry house. Now we have another

new ministry house. It shows new people add in and the house

is expanding.

c)Shifting house challenge our comfort zone.

Moving into another empty ministry house really challenge our

faith to trust Him as our provider. New ministry house is totally

empty. No furniture, no curtains, no WIFI, no chairs, no table,

no washing machine...etc. It also far a bit from our working place.

There are a lot of things need to invest. We plan to fulfill basic

needs first before investing in other facilities.

d)Shifting house make us to depend on God

It another new environment, new chapter in another house,

there is still uncertainty in some here and there. But we are

going to trust God for good.

Soon, in dec09, my new chapter of life in a new ministry house is going to begin.

Trusting the Lord for another fruitful year ahead !!
