The past, present and future is in God's hands

Yes, 2007 is coming to an end. As we reflect back to see what we as a region have accomplished, we really have done such a great job. We've all been changed and transformed throughout the course of the year. From becoming a Kingdom family series to Synergize, overseas visiting ministers and Youth camp, each and every sermon has really changed our character, both physically and spiritually. We have seen an increase in the new members joining our region, the maturity and responsibilities each and everyone of you have developed. New nets and leaders coming forth and the bonding of our region growing stronger and stronger, we have really made it far. We had our very own service today; sound, worship, video, ushering and dance. A big thumbs up to all you guys who helped our P6s and Sec1s adjust so quickly and smoothly as well as accepting the new members of our region. It really warms me seeing how new members mixing together with the older ones serving Jesus as one church. You guys have been really enthusiastic about net, edge and evening services. Glad to see all of you living righteously and glorifying God everyday.

However, let us not rest on our laurels and strive to do even better for 2008. Evangilism as our mission, we shall have the discipline, determination and strength to continue praying for that 1 to be saved by the end of 2008. As Pastor Paul Lim has shared, we have to be reassured of our loved ones' salvation. Remember that every prayer counts and continue to pray. Pastor Jude bestowed upon us the supernatural boldness to spread the Word to our friends and strangers. As he said, prayer really works! Our goal of reaching out to our campuses begins with you. Besides the selected campuses Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Secondary and Geylang Methodist Secdondary, we must strive to spread the gospel to all. Seize any given opportunities to plunder hell and populate heaven. Have the discipline to do God's will, the responsibility to uphold our aims and that we would all be able to see that 1 come to Christ.

I pray that all of you would excel in your studies and work and be a light to this world. We shall glorify God in all that we do. The Holy Spirit will guide us and we shall keep ourselves pure and sanctified for Jesus as we are His temple. This is our generation, our responsibility.

I would love to encourage Darren and Joey. Despite being young, both of you have served the Lord though the Video ministery. As for all the video crew, keep up the good work.
Our youth in the worship ministery: Jing Guo, Joanne Fu, Grace Chan, Silas, Joel Leong, Joel Lim, Joash, Josiah, Jireh Yew, and those whom I have missed out; I thank you for leading us into praise and worship. Sound guys Jin Lun, Mathieu Tan, Nick Tan and Samuel Heng, keep up the great work. Dance members Melody, Matthew, Carmen, Gladys, Felice, Grace Chan, Michelle Tham and Jin Lun, though you people feel very sian performing again and again, you have been great in your ministry. To all you people in the other ministries such as ushering, you guys have really impacted those you serve. To those who have faithfully attended classes, well done. To all you people of Region QigeBage, Jesus loves You! Always remember that. Our dearest youth coordinators Jin Lun and Joanne, God is always there for you and that you will guide and counsel us in our walk with Christ. Dearest youth minister Grace Chong, thank you for helping us as a region grow, counselling us and mentoring us. Just as a mother hen would teach and protect her young, you have done the same as our mother in Christ. Thus, our personification of you as our mother hen.

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Be certain and trust in the Lord as He loves, bless and pour out His favour upon all of us. Wish all of you a blessed new year.
