Combined CG gathering


We had a great time of makan, fellowship, catching up with each other tonight at our Combined CG gathering. Was blessed as we worshipped and gave God the praise and glory for who He is and how He has lead us as CGs thus far. Reminded me of His hand in guiding us these past 2.5 years. Also was greatly encouraged by sharings from Amilyn, Eddie and Hongmei, to see and hear that what we seek to be in CG makes a difference. Tim and Wenxing shared about how the Lord has been guiding the CGs the past 2-3 months, and what lies ahead this year. We ended the time with sharing and praying in pairs (1 from each CG), and also praying for Wenxing and Nat as they continue and commit to serve as CGLs this year and beyond. May God continue to bless and grow them as leaders to lead with passion, vision, and love.

Beta finale

We had our last session on Beta 12 today. Spent an extended time sharing what we had learnt and applied through the Beta course. Prayed for one another too. Spent some time at the end of CG to pray for Joy, who will be away from 27-30 Jul in Indonesia for a medical mission. Pray for safety as they travel and wisdom and love as they minister to the locals. We also prayed for the situation in Israel, for God's purposes and peace to prevail in the Middle East.
