July birthdays

Celebrated July birthdays today (Chris, Kevin, Lifen) at CG. Chris has been with us for more than half a year already. Time sure flies. Prayed a blessing over both him and Kevin (as they shared about different situations in work and family).

Email update from Xinhong

Hi,
My comp still the same...cannot connect. Think my dad has set some firewall somewhere with his network (my comp was his old laptop). So using my sis one now. In any case, am slowly settling down back in the quiet and slightly slower pace Perth. Am enjoying my break of just studying and no work!! Hope things are good at cell in Singapore. Take care and will keep all of u in prayer. :)
Regards, Sin hong

Church Camp @ Pulai Springs, JB

Most of the CG had the opportunity to go for Church Camp this year, about 14 out of 18 of us. It was a great time of learning God's Word from Rev Edmund Chan on Discipleship, vibrant times of worship, good times of fellowship, fun and food, and meaningful times of bonding, sharing, praying and committing to the Lord anew. The last night was "BartleyCorp Superstar" Gala Night, and most of us went in fancy dress. Try to make out who is dressed at who/what. :)

Farewell gathering for Xinhong

Had a surprise farewell gathering for Xinhong last Sunday. She will be leaving for Perth, Australia in July to complete her Masters and to find a job there thereafter. We spent some time to share what we were thankful about her, and for her to share with us some prayer needs and upcoming plans, before we took turns to commit her to God in prayer. We wish you all the best, Xinhong! You will be dearly missed.

Calvin & Amilyn's wedding

CG Discipleship 1 - Habits

Had a session on Habits of a Disciple, going back to the basics of Prayer, Word, Fellowship and Tithing. Spent some time to pray for one another as well, and for preparation of hearts as we look forward to Church Camp next week. Prayed for Hongmei and her family too in the midst of the loss of their grandfather.

Dinner with Zhen Yuan @ Brisbane

Drove to Brisbane from Gold Coast during our honeymoon to have dinner with Zhen Yuan, celebrating his birthday. He treated us to a yummy Indian dinner (butter chicken, chicken briyani, chicken tika, etc) along with 2 of his friends studying and working there. He brought us to Mt Coottah, a panoramic lookout of point of the whole Brisbane city, where we spent some time sharing and praying for him.
