37th Mission Conference in Chen Li

Good day folks,

As I've promise Tommy to keep the blog updated there are many things that happened these few weeks.

They are as follows. ( Just the main ones )

1) Tommy went off to Ireland with his family on 10 Sept.

2)The 37th mission week was conducted on the 9 - 12 Sept.

3)Daniel Loh will be going off to UK to study on the 30th of Sept.

-------------------------------------------

So today's topic is talking about the mission week that has past. Well... I would like to post a rough summary about what happened.

In sum,

1) Prayers can work wonders

2) The passion for the gospel

3) Having the willingness is not enough, one must equip themselves with the word.

4) Being Gentle servants of the Lord

5) Tests from God is to help us know how much we lack and should compels us to seek the Lord.

So these are the main ideas that have been going around in mission week.

I would Just like to share with you all point 1; Prayers can work wonders.

Many of times we have heard people say how prayers have changed their lives. On top of that we just finish watching Fireproof, a show that show us how prayer was an important part in the show whereby it constantly gives hope to the main actor and his family.

One thing stuck a chord in me. The moment whereby the main actor was struggling with temptations and how he over come it. Well it is very surreal.

Let me share with you how God spoke to me about temptations.

These few weeks I've been struggling to fight temptations of purchasing things. So i decided to pray about these urge and seek help from God.

God spoke to me in 2 ways. Firstly was the sermon during mission week about how prayers will move mountains. Second, was what Sister Diana shared with me.

She said, "pray to God and ask him to help you. Shun away from the things that tempts you. You know, sometimes praying to God to help you is not enough... you must look at the rooted cause of the temptation. Is it greed? the desire that compels you to me tempted? If so pray about it and ask God to take away the greed."

These are the words of wisdom that she shared with me. I will continue to pray about it and DO pray for me : )

Alright this is for today. May the Lord watch over you dear brothers and sisters of Chen Li.

Regards,

Sherman
