It's a new week=)


I guess everyone is trying to look on the good side of what is going to be another long week. The weekends apparently look quite a distant away. School is gonna be school, as usual. But i think there's something we all possess that people don't. God didn't create education to make you angry or bored, think about it. It's always good to remember the people you get to see when you actually step out of the realm of "school". So this is a suggestion that i think will brighten you up.

I think we could at least take an effort to send an encouraging sms to your net members maybe, take time to talk about the day after school. I think although it's quite a simple thing to do, but it does brighten up your day to know someone's thinking about you, that someone's there suffering the same stupid chore of school.
we cant change the fact that we still need to go to school, so
Kill the (school) blues and smile:D

Take Him to the Streets

hey RegionDee :)

this comes after GoodNews, HotdogHalocaust, Net outreaches, Youthcamp, and now, TakeItToTheStreets. I just thought about all the souls, contacts and visitors that have come pouring in. No i do not have stats to show, or a number to give, but I really think that its time that we go after these contacts and begin to take a little more responsibility. (how i do i say this without being forceful or huhh, haha.) Its been super amazing seeing how you guys bring friends and include visitors when they come to our events or relax-one-corner at the playground but more than ever, i really feel that consolidation needs to be brought a notch up in our region. and yeeaaah, i wanna encourage you guys to do this all together, not just the netleaders but even us as members.

Begin to pray, and call and reconnect with all the names and numbers that we have gotten so far, i really believe that its God's time and His intervention that brought these souls to us. I was reading the Corporate sunday vfc weekly thing and the testimonies about those souls from GNS that stayed in God's house because of someone that bothered to consolidate and reinvite them back to church is just humongous. :) it really got me, at how people are just waiting to be asked back, people waiting to be prayed for and to be loved and showed how to connect to God, to learn more about our God.

I'm not saying its easy or that Im already totally great at this, but consolidation will require your effort and take up your time. if you lack the heart, then ask like i still do, that your Father will give you a heart for these souls just like His. if you're shy, then ask for His boldness. :) when you begin to posture yourself into the attitude of eternity, the urgency and the love will begin to drive you to pray and take responsibility for these souls, some even your friends. The seed has been planted, lets not let go and do our part!

Pray for them, that God will protect them from the lies and the deception of the enemy. Pray that they will be radically saved, and founded in the house of God, just like the dude we learnt about in CW, whose house did not shake when the winds of life blew. Let's be the answer for labourers in the Harvest of souls.You can start today, its the week of Prayer&Fasting. :D

So now even as you take Him to the streets, I pray that we will all begin to rise up and really, live like its our generation our responsibility and no longer just a slogan on EdgeAnnnouncements.

In His love and mine!

HAPPY YOUTH DAY TO US, yeaah all the young people, like me.

Postponement Problems

We have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function. -Romans 12:4

Many of us struggle with them-postponement problems. A professor at the University of Calgary in Alberta studied the problem of procrastination for 5 years and reported that 95 percent of us put off doing one thing or another. One estimate showed that Americans lose approximately $400 million a year by putting off filing taxes! Because of fear of failure or other insecurities, we wait and wait before starting a project or making a decision.

Procrastination is a problem in the church too. Many of us postpone serving God. We know we should reach out to others, but we feel insecure or worried about what to do. Because we're unsure of our gifts or interests, we put off our involvement in the church. We worry, What if I do a poor job? What if I find out I can't even do it?

Romans 12 gives us some encouragement. Serving starts with presenting ourselves to God as "a living sacrifice" (v.1). Pray and give yourself anew to the Lord and His work. Then look around! at what others are doing in your church and ask if you can join in. Start small if you need to, and try a number of things.

Your church needs you. Ask God to help you overcome your postponement problems. -Anne Cetas

Don't put off for tomorrow
What you can do today;
Postponement may bring sorrow,
Prompt action is the way. -Hess

For a healthier church, exercise your spiritual gifts.

Youth Camp Elevate 2009!

A big hello to my favouritest region in the entire world,

I know majority of us are experiencing the post-syndrome of youth camp. Your group cheer is still ringing in your head, you wake up at 730am and wonder if you're late for group devotions, or you randomly shout your group name in the middle of the night when you're sleeping. Haha. Besides all the cheering, shouting and the fun, let's not forget the main purpose of youth camp.

I believe God has ministered to everybody and that we all have been touched by Him. I want to encourage each of you to hold on to that faith and hope that God has placed into you and not let anything rob you of what God has done inside of you. Pastor Jude mentioned that it is easy to live for God when you are in youth camp, easy to do devotions everyday, easy to concentrate on sermons, etc. But when you come out of camp, its a totally different thing because we have to juggle between our piorities like school/family, and church commitments. As we step out of camp, let's strive to place God as our #1 still!

I feel that one major problem is that we tend to forget and lose the wonderful things that God has done in us a few months after youth camp. I pray, and I urge that each of you make an effort to sustain the good work that God has done and IS doing in your life! Let's be consistent in our testimonies together (:

Love, Joanna

A message from youth camp games committee!!!

The Devil & the Duck

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm.

He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods.

He practiced in the woods; but he could never hit the target.

Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.

As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck.


Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved!

In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; only to see his Sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.


After lunch the next day Grandma said, 'Sally, let's wash the dishes'

But Sally said, 'Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.'

Then she whispered to him, "Remember the duck?'

So Johnny did the dishes.

Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, 'I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper.'

Sally just smiled and said, 'well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help?

She whispered again, 'Remember the duck?' So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.


After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's; he finally couldn't stand it any longer.

He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.

Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, 'Sweetheart, I know.. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you.'

Thought for the day and every day thereafter:

Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done... And the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.)....whatever it is...You need to know that:

God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing.


He has seen your whole life.... He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven. He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you.

The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness; He not only forgives you, but He forgets.

"Without Him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Phil. 4:13)

lifesong

i no longer live
the body would be consumed
by the world but

the spirit is a sacrifice
a living fire at the altar
to the one up there

like oil in that alabaster
jar i pour this heart
at his feet when

he deserves so much more
than the praises sung
and glory given

the never ending shouts and cries
which echoes his name
resound greatness

yet never close enough to define him
who above all is the
Great I Am.

(posted in response to the previous plea post, actually written a month or so ago)

What to blog ah?


i think it's time to ask ourselves the very question that we named this blog after._.

AND ANSWER IT IN ALL OUR UNIQUE WAYS

Nothing's dead unless we claim it to be,
A blog isn't alive without posts.
A story every person can tell,
so why not just tell that story.....................
even boring blogs have posts,
7/8 aint boring or are we?

come on luh admins are real sad alr lets start posting!
