Here's our testimonies! Enjoy reading! =)

MERRIEN
Before:
I was just an ordinary primary school student, living a mundane, routine lifestyle. Looking back now, it seems like my past was not very exciting. Actually, I believe that I had all along been a good girl. I don't disrespect or rebel against my teachers and parents. I was excelling in my studies and got into the best class for 4 out of 6 of my primary school years. So I'm not really the kind that transformed from a black to white sheep when I met God, but there's so much more that God has in store for my life...

Conversion:
Usually, I believe that we hear 2 kinds of testimonies of how people got saved. 1 is the super extraordinary, dramatic and mind-blowing kind, and the other is more like 'well, I just said the sinner's prayer.' So obviously I'm in the second category. However, it really does not matter which you belong to, what matters is what God does with your life after that.

Here's my experience... I was so-called 'born' into a Christian family. My siblings and I attended a Sunday school in Magelang, my hometown in Indonesia, since we were really young. I doubt that I understood the things about the bible and Jesus then because I was merely 4 years old. When I migrated to Singapore at the age of 5, somehow my mother didn't bring us to church. My siblings started going to City Harvest when I was about 7. Since then, I kept hoping and desiring to go with them but my mother did not want to let me go yet. Finally in Primary 5, I officially joined W263, my brother's cell group then. During the second service that I attended, I went down for the altar call, not because I was moved by the presence of God but because of the choice I had made since I was young, to be a Christian. It did not seem like a special event to me then but now it has become a really precious moment.

After:
If I were to type out all the blessings God has given me since the day I accepted him, I would probably be stuck to the computer for days or even weeks. When we say "God is good, all the time." there's really no lie in this sentence.

How God has changed me:
· wiser(revelation exceeds information)
· talents have bloomed(singing, dancing)
· self-confidence(a lot)
· determination, stronger will power(more important than any physical abiliy)
· less critical, les judgemental towards others
· more caring, generous, accepting
· more thankful for everything in life(academic results, friends etc.)
· lots more...

And I haven't even started on how he has blessed me! Haha well if you want to find out more you can ask me personally. Have I ever regretted allowing God into my life? Never have and never will. He is truly amazing :D

XIXI
In the past, I used to be a normal teenage girl who’s always worrying about school, homework and friends. Everyday was like a repeat of yesterday, I was living for the sake of living. My future was hidden by a thick fog, and this added to my worrying list. Changing my ambition now and then, I didn’t know what I wanted and what I was living for. I was lost.

I knew about God since I was 7 years old because I was in a Presbyterian primary school and I had Christian value lessons once every week. We sang praises to God every morning and we had pastors from the neighboring church coming to our school occasionally. When the preacher asked for those who wanted to accept Christ into their lives to pray a prayer with her, I prayed. I didn’t attend a church because my family had no Christians and nobody invited me. After I graduated, I lost all touch with God. However, I never forgot about Him. I prayed to Him that He would bring me to a church because I really wanted to believe in Him. And after 2 years, He answered my prayer. My new classmate, Merrien! invited me to church and eventually I got saved :D

With God in my life, I feel assured that He has a great plan for me and that I truly have a great calling in Him. I’m confident that he created me to be special and to be a star that shines for Him. Even though I’m still unsure of my future, I don’t have to be afraid because He would always be there for me and I know that He’ll reveal my future to me at the right time. My worries reduced greatly because God says that I do not have to worry about tomorrow because He is my provider. When I encounter failures and hurt, I’m always comforted by the truth that He’s there for me and as long I trust in Him with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding and acknowledge Him in everything that I do, He’ll straighten me path. Thank you , Lord! :D

PEARLYNN
I was raised from a Buddhist family. My parents are devout Buddhists. Ironically, I was brought to a Presbyterian church for my kindergarten education. My grandparents lived nearby so my parents felt it would be more convenient for my grandparents to pick me up from school when my parents were working. That, was my first encounter with God. From there, my teachers [who I still greatly admire] taught me about Christian values and introduced me to God and his wonders. Even as an innocent child, I adored God and prayed to Him regularly. As I was young [and a little silly!] then, I felt that God was mysterious and very exciting. ;)

When I was seven, my parents sent me to a missionary primary school. Many of my friends and teachers were Christians. Immersed in the Christian culture, it was inevitable that my understanding for God grew deeper and deeper. Well aware of the fatal consequences if my parents knew, I secretly became a Christian when I was about eight. Thousands of pastors have preached about nominal Christians. They are those who attend church faithfully once a week and read their bibles as faithfully once a week during service as well. Although I knew much about Jesus and his miracles, I did not feel the presence of God. In other words, I did not feel the ‘connection’. So for most of my primary school life, I was a nominal Christian.

From then on, I backslidden from God. School work began to pile and as I did not attend any church in primary school, I soon drifted away from Him.

Despite the fact that my current school is not a Christian school, I met MERRIEN. She introduced me to City Harvest! The rest, as they say, is history. After an amazing service about two years ago, I accepted Christ after back sliding fully and wholeheartedly. It’s no surprise that the schools I’ve been sent to were all God’s plan. I mean, although my parents are strong Buddhists, I was sent to Christian schools. How cool can that get! I was saved.

My life did not drastically change! However, I feel much happier. Every service that I attend is something to learn from. Every message has a beautiful, impactful meaning behind it. Every verse from the bible is wise and powerful. Now, I feel the presence of God as well. This is especially so when I am praying together with my cell group and in our little connect group. The most significant thing that happened though, happened to my Ah Ma. Last year, she had to undergo millions of blood tests and wait excruciatingly for the results. During that period, I prayed vehemently to God, asking Him to heal my Ah Ma and to take away whatever that she has.

God answered my prayers. My Ah Ma had merely had gall stones! My joy was impossible to contain. I was utterly grateful to God and very dumbfounded. That was probably the first time my prayer was answered. I truly understand God and his plans. I know that I can rely on Him and depend on Him. I also know with God’s blessing, I can be a blessing to others too! With God around, I know that there’s nothing in life I cannot conquer.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Phil 4:13

JIAJING
Before I went to church, I didn’t expect that church is this way. Eversince then, every visit to church I learnt something. I’ve learnt how to pray in areas of my education, family, friends and for myself.

Along the way, I also learnt that not everything will go the way I want it to, but I do know that God wants me to experience and learn something through all the failures I went through. This helps me to continue to pursue what I am doing and stop me from giving up. Although sometimes I don’t see God, I know that he’s always been blessing me. No matter what I have done wrong, He will also forgive me and continue to protect me in my life.

SHIRLYN
Before i got to know Christ, i was a person that had no spiritual life. I felt that there wasn't such a thing was a God. Whenever i was sad, the first person i would turn to was a friend. But sometimes i feel that a friend isn't enough because she couldn't always be there for me at all times and may not understand me. I kept things to myself and sometimes i would feel very terrible. There are also many obstacles in my life that i couldn't seem to overcome.

When merrien introduced me to church at first, i wasn't convinced that He actually exists in this world. But when i saw people prayingso fervently and loving each other wholeheartedly in church and after church services, i would feel like there is really Him that exists. Soon after, i realised that i have been wanting to come to church more and began to open my heart to Him and receive Him into my life. Although it was a hard decision to make, but soon after i realised that i do believe that there is Him who exists.

After i got to know Him, I always prayed to him before i sleep at night. Whenever i was feeling down, the first i'd turn is to him, and then friends.He provides the comfort and the sense of peace in my heart. Whenever i feel scared during examinations, i know that i can put my trust in Him and He'll relieve all my stress and cease my troubles from pilling up. When something bad happens, i'll pray and knowing that everything will be fine at the endof the day. I'd use bible verses to constantly remind me of things, to encourage me, and to provide the tenacity for me. He's just like a bestfriend, an advicer and a consoler. My life has certainly changed after i got to know him.

JESSICA
I was brought up in a Christian family, and my parents were also people who were always involved in all the church activities. However, my whole family backslided. And i never went back.

I grew up in an environment where i didn't really know how to express my feelings and always wanted to please everyone to make them happy. On the surface, my parents bring me out on weekends and we are like a super happy family, but to me, it was a family where i can never say what i feel because my parents had the traditional values of doing what you're told.

Having low self-esteem, I was always struggling with my own problems and hiding it behind a big smile on my face. I grew up thinking that I am alone, and I never liked to burden others of what i thought would be silly, childish thoughts to them. Life was just this game of proving you're worth to people, how well you can please them. Confidence was never found in my life, and I was constantly trying to fill up this emptiness inside of me. So i constantly downgrade myself to make others feel good, thinking that making people happier could fill up this gap.

When I was in Sec 1, i started mixing with the wrong people and experimenting with the bad company that parents always warned us about. Getting into a relationship where i was being manipulated mentally, i started to slowly sink into depression. My low self esteem sunk lower till it hit rock bottom. I started to blame people for my mistakes, and became a very angry person. Taking revenge was like breathing to me. I got influenced and cursed and swore every chance i got. I threw my temper every chance i could and acted like a spoilt brat, bearing all sorts of petty grudges. Suicidal thoughts would flood my mind everyday.

It was during the start of my Secondary Two year that God gave me one of the biggest challenges that i believe, makes me what I am today, integrating myself back into church, joined a cell group.And most importantly, re-dedicated my life back to God and was determined to get my life back on track. I started re-evaluating my life and realised that i was in a relationship that made me a vengeful person and how rebellious i have become. I took the first step and broke off that relationship despite feeling strongly for him. It was during that point of time when i was still recovering, that my friends decided they could not take the new changes i decided to put in my life. That point of time was one of the lowest and I had no one to depend on. It was like being crushed under one big rock after another.

During that point of time, I also had to undergo counselling sessions with a psychologist weekly. I started to blame God for taking away my friends, making me do things that made me lost everyone whom i thought were dear to me. I started getting angry with myself all over again. However, God works through mysterious ways. He started putting different people into my life,People who gave me the courage to face life more positively. People who were optimistic, and made me aspire to be more like them. I started depending on God more and learnt to let go of the past hurts.

These friends came from all walks of life, different types of personalities that helped me to see, make changes in myself. There were people I aspired to be, and people that showed me how i was like, challenging me to change myself, Some that were what i think, were there to make a difference in my life. And others, were just there for me to lean on whenever i felt discouraged. Slowly, as I started to lean more on God, i learned how to be myself, how to express my feelings in a positive manner. I start to react to things more positively, and learnt how forgiving is forgetting.

God started blessing me in many areas as well. Financially, my family is much more stable than last time. I am now blessed with a few good friends, whom i know will always be there for me. Friends who tell me my mistakes immediately, love me for who i am, and are there to lean on.I admit that till now, I still do not have a very healthy level of self-esteem yet. But I am getting there. I still get discouraged, and till now, i still get discouraged and lose confidence.But nobody ever said this walk with God would be easy. As time goes by, as the challenges God throws at me gets tougher, I thank God for trusting me so much with all the tough challenges.

I believe that God never gives you something that is too big to deal with. God is like this loving father to me who’s always there no matter what I’ve done, to him or myself. He always stretches your limit, believing that we can always go further than where we are now.
Running this marathon for four years with God and counting, has never been a better experience.I never regretted anything in my life ever since He came and turned it all around. God will never give you a door that can never be opened.But God will always give you a door, make you search for the key and learn the most important lessons in life about Love, Faith, Hope, Compassion and Joy. That people can never teach you in this lifetime, or the next.

REBECCA
I was not a rebellious teenager who always gives problems to my parents and teachers. I am a shy and soft-spoken person by nature. I have difficulties expressing my thoughts and feelings to people and would always keep my problems and feelings bottled up to myself. This resulted in me building a wall between me and the people I come into contact with. I would say I did well during my secondary school days – I was very prominent and excelled in the school’s track and field scene, I was in the best class throughout the 4 years and I was the deputy head prefect of the prefectorial board, actively involved in many major events in school. But nobody knows that beneath all those, is actually a girl who struggles with low self-esteem and is very insecure and unconfident of herself.
There were many things happening at home during my secondary school days and many bad and negative thoughts were constantly in my mind. My friends tried to get me to open up to share but I was reluctant to. I was then eventually referred to a counselor by my teacher. I had a bad impression of counseling back then and so I was very closed up and refused to share much with my counselor. It’s an irony that I am now friend with my back-then counselor.

During my JC days, things at home were pretty much still the same. I hated and dreaded going to school, and would always find ways and means to take MC to skip school. Hence, I performed poorly in school. However, through my CCA and a CIP expedition to Sabah, I got to know this friend whom I became quite close to and she eventually brought me to church. I remembered always rejecting and finding excuses not to go initially. However, God’s timing is always perfect. I went for my first CHC service and I still remember vividly that Pastor Kong preached on DREAMS and there and then I thought it was something that blew my mind away.

Things did not really get better after I got to know Christ and hence I got very discouraged. I kept going rounds in circles in areas of my thoughts and emotions. My leader had a hard time “tackling” me as I was self-centered and not exactly very teachable. I remembered that she would always tell me that we should not live our lives based on emotions but on convictions, and that we should never despise the days of small beginnings. It did not make any sense to me back then as all I bothered and wanted was for my problems to go away, missing the bigger picture that God has installed for me. And even though I go to church regularly and was serving in a ministry, I did not have a very real and genuine relationship with God and hence I eventually backslided.

Not long after, I got sick and tired of the aimless life that I was leading and I kind of told one of my JC friend casually that I felt like going back to church and so she brought me to W263. It was not easy initially and I constantly struggled with thoughts of giving up. However, God always works in ways we cannot see. After being integrated, I made a decision to want to commit my life to serve God and not to leave Him ever again.

God has indeed moulded me into a better individual through these years. He has changed my mentality of many things in life. He has helped me to be more patient and loving towards people around me through serving in a ministry. He has also helped me to become a person with better self-esteem, more confident of myself and I have definitely found my identity in Christ. He has also blessed me in different ways in areas of my poly life. Even though I have wasted 2 years in JC, He reminded me that nothing that I have gone through is ever wasted. Also, although there may still be problems going on in my family sometimes, however, slowly but surely, things have started to change for the better. I am believing that my breakthrough will definitely come if I continue to stand firm on His promises.

As I look back now, God has indeed been good and faithful to me. It’s true that in life, problems are inevitable, but nobody said that our walk with God is a bed of roses. Christianity is an inspite-of faith, and I’ve realize that no matter what I go through in life, I can trust in God and lean on His strength to see me through. For with God, nothing is impossible! :)

Jeanie
I grew up in a Christian family. Was "trained" to attend sunday school since i was a kid. I knew all the bible stories, but i never experience God before, all i had was head knowledge. As i was attending a chinese sunday school and i don't like chinese back then, i started to dread attending sunday school. Hence, i started to find excuses not to attend sunday school and soon i stopped attending all together.

I came back to God once again through Girls Brigade, started going back to church and was very active. However, when i was in sec3, i was very involve in my class committee and had many class outings on sundays. I backslided, chose my friends and gave up God again.

However, my turning point came when i was in Sec4. My dad had to go through a heart bypass due to some artery blockage. The operation was unsuccessful and my dad had a stroke at his brain stem which blurred his vision totally. At that point of time my whole family was feeling very lost and worried as my dad was the sole bread winner. The subsequent nights i had dreams that i was back in church and even preaching infront of a group of people. I felt that the dream was very silly and i thought to myself that the dream will never come to past. After many nights of having similar dreams, i was getting frustrated. One of the nights i woke up after having the same dream, i prayed, " God heal my dad and i will come back to You."

True enough, God is our healer, my dad vision got better as the days go by, even the doctors were surprised by my dad's recovery. Deep inside me, i was shocked and thankful that God indeed heard my prayer. I knew and was convicted that God is indeed real and eventually i came back to God. Until now i'm still amazed by how God works in your life and how He speaks to you through situations. Life is not a bed of roses even with God in your life, but what you can believe is with God, all things are possible and you will be able to overcome the various difficulties in your life with Him. God is good all the time and all the time God is good... =))

visions and dreams..

2007-04-16T23:59:00.000+08:00

visions and dreams..
the past three nights had been awesome!.. amongst the sweaty crowds and unbearable weather, i can still sense the excitement and anticipation of the people for a mighty and indifferent conference..
through the past two weeks of true hunger and thirsting.. i felt that the vision once imputed in me is becoming clearer as days pass.. i want to yearn for it!..
let us all find back those visions and dreams once imputed in us but have now faded.. you will find unlimited potential to achieve them once you are clear of where you are heading..
i'm always encouraged by the song "find your wings" by mark harris..

i'm moving on!..

my novel..

2007-04-02T23:59:00.000+08:00

my novel..
i wake up every morning, longing to feel your presence.. yearning to touch your face.. the deep desire to know you more intimately, somehow over- fills my heart every night when i sleep..
to have and to hold, is my greatest honor yet.. i will count my blessings and look upon you.. i will give thanks and know that you still live in me..
the promises we hold will never fade.. the stories we wrote will always remain.. those times we stroll on the beach, i will remember.. those times we spent chatting in the park, i will reminiscence..
you are all i long for.. just one touch from you..

The 90/10 Principle
Author : Stephen Covey ( Management Guru)

Have you read this before? Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life
(at least the way you react to situations). What is this principle?

10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean?

We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.

How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light., but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.

Let's use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just what happened. What happens when the next will be determined by how you react.You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over.

She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work.

You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.

Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?

The answer is " D".

You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened.

Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "It's ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.

Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive? Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job. The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it.

The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle.

The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.

It CAN change your life!!!

God's commands are not always accompanied by reasons, but always by promises," - F.B Meyer

We don't have to understand everything.

Much of life contains mysteries. This calls for trust.

If we have to 'see' before we 'believe', we have joined the Thomas generation.

Believing before we 'see' introduces us to greater blessing.

If we don't understand why bad things happen, we need to engage trust, rather than cynicism.

Do what God says even when you don't understand why.

Trust him. He knows what He's talking about.

tis has blessed me greatly...believing that it will bless the rest of you too..=p

well...if you guys notice..right from the start...we haf been sitting the the corner...watching the screen..except for christmas wkend...so...if you guys wanna continue to sit at the corner...i dun mind meeting at 9am or even later...but if u guys wanna sit somewhere else...den shall we meet earlier??

so wat if there's no queue or no one is there at such a early time...let us be the one...ppl may deem us as KS...but...it shows one thing...e attitude we haf...how hungry we are... for the presence..anointing n the word of God...

something tat i learned...presence of God is every where...but the anointing is only in front...let's nt lose that hunger...

remember those daes whereby we came early together as a cg to queue for emerge? for service at jurong west...for bs?? let's haf back tat urgency...so wat if we haf a bigger place now...true tat everyone will get a seat...but where you sit...will also affect how the service would be like for you...

see ya...=p

HAHA… crap.. Well, she is fun to tok wif.. but last thing she need is another person who toks even she can start. Haha.. She loves to share.. A good hearer will find it nice but a passionate sharer will find her grrr... She can b straight forward sometimes, or rather most of the time.. and whiney too.. haha.. Well, sometimes can really joke wif her.. sometimes when u c thunder boltsor not dark but black clouds on top of her head.. try joke wif her.. see what u get in return.. maybe a Ru Lai Shen Zhang (Buddha Palm) on your beautiful, smooth or rough face (depends whose face izit), or a Crouching king kong Hidden Panda, which will giv u a blue black in the eye.. but she will let u choose left or right.. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA.. she can make frenz easily and psyco people easily too.. She can bring friends effortlessly I can say.. but if u put just a little more effort in bringing in friends, many of them will stay in our CG.. SO, JIA YOU JIA YOU LAST YEAR IN JC LE!!! LAST YEAR FOR U, SO MAKE IT A HAPPENING 1 AND OSO YOUR LAST YEAR TO BRING FRIENDS FROM YJC.. SO KEEP IT UP AND KEEP IT HIGH!!

We have seen each other grow in the lord.. both of our hairstyle changed a lot LOL!!!

Is she pissed off? YES of coz she is! But she knows to control her anger.. Recently, the monopoly case.. at the expo hall 10 the eggs throwing part, the girl there is being very unreasonable, but she pulled the person who was talking to her away... woohoo.. way da go girl!! as for me u noe wad I will do?

a sneak preview of what will happen during service this wk...pastor kong's candle will be the first to be lighten...den all the pastors will light their candle via pastor kong's candle. Thereafter the pastor will go down the rows n light up the candle of the 1st person at every row..n then they will pass the fire down the row...sou guys can imagine...that the whole hall will be lighten up slowly...this whole process will take abt 15mins or so...=p

i woke up this morning...yearning to read the news on BBC. somehow. don't ask me why. i guess im probably reverting back to the debate season where BBC will be my favourtie website. as much as i detest reading on and on about global affairs, at times, i do enjoy reading what they publish.

and so...i searched for RWANDA this morning and thousands of articles was found. randomly, i clicked on a few and i came across this article which touched my heart. it reminded me about the lady from SOT who prayed for south africa during the overnight prayer meeting. The image of her praying with intense faithfullness and to a certain extent, imense deaperation to seek help from God to recuperate the situation in Africa that was been ongoing for decades, somehow seem to fit into my mind clearly. i could still see her doing all that clearly in my mind.

to a large extent, i do feel for her and her country. don't inquisite about my sentiments towards that barren nation, its probably what my debating carreer has caused me to behave, think and feel accordingly.

anyway...back to the point i was driving at.and so as i was randomly clicking on the headlines that somewhat strike my attention, i came across this particular one which reminded me about the normal cell grop meetings we have, and the usual testimonies we share.

here it goes (somewhat a testimony shared by a refugee in Rwanda):

Last Updated: Friday, 2 April, 2004, 11:48 GMT 12:48 UK
'Living among the dead'

Flora MukamporeIn 1994 in the village of Nyarubuye, Rwanda, the Hutu majority went on a killing spree in the local church, slaughtering neighbours and friends.
Flora Mukampore lost 17 members of her family and saw her neighbour doing the killing. This is her story.
We used to go to church with them and they taught us together that committing murder is a sin and God punishes those who kill.
We thought that no one would dare come to attack us at the church because the church is a holy place.
[When the killers arrived] our men were ready to fight, even though they didn't have any weapons, so they died standing. You would not think that they were all going to get killed because they were very many. We did not think they would get killed.
Drenched in blood
My neighbour Gitera was there. Imagine someone leaving their home, knowing the possible victim's name and their children's names.

'Taken over by Satan'
They all killed their neighbours' wives and children.
All the people they were cutting fell on me because I was near the door. I had too much hair but it all was washed with blood.
My body had been drenched in blood and it was getting dry on me so killers thought I had been cut all over. They thought I was dead.
I lay down on one side with only one eye open. I could hear a man come toward me and I guess he saw me breathe. He hit me on my head saying: "Isn't this thing still alive?"
At some point God helped me and made me unconscious because if I wasn't, there is a possibility that I would have committed suicide
Flora Mukampore Immediately I heard my entire body say "whaa". Something in my head changed forever. Everything stopped.
Afterwards, when the cold wind blew. I woke up. But I did not realise that there were bodies around me. I did not remember what had happened.
I just thought they were normal people and so I slept among them like we had slept before the killers came.
Suicide
Later I heard the girl say: "She is rotten. It's all over for her. Does she look human to you? "
Then I realised that all the people around me had decayed.
When they sat me up I realised there were maggots and I started removing them off myself.
Can you imagine living with the dead? At some point God helped me and made me unconscious because if I wasn't, there is a possibility that I would have committed suicide.
But, I wasn't conscious and anyway killing oneself needs energy. Can you imagine. People died on the 15 April and I lived among them until the 15 May?
Panorama: The Killers was broadcast on BBC One on Sunday, 4 April 2004 at 2215 BST

im sure all thoses killings that took place in church has definitely grieved God's heart. but nontheless, from this article, we cannot deny that God's grace is never ending and He is Merciful to those who keep up the faith in Him. Maybe the situation in Africa seem to be hopeless and perhaps only decades of recovering and aid will help them out from poverty and the other thousands of adversities they are burdened with, but one thing for sure, God has not forsaken them.

He has instilled a desire in millions of other potential missionaries around the world to play their part to help out. one may think that one cannot do much with just his bare hands and feet, but as cliche as it may sound, with God, All things are Possible.

wow...looks like i haven blog for several days....but been real busy ba
had overnite prayer meetin on fri after service...though i know its gonna test me physically, mentally and spiritually..i really enjoyed the time which i can pray about everything that i have been wanting to bring forward to God...all the needs, my cries, hurts, joy...i feel God's presence very strongly many times...
understand the importance of seeking aft his presence...and that in his presence, the world would grow strangely dim...all i see is his love, power and glory
heard God tellin me to step out more for him...encouraged me with my cell group members....and remind me not to give up in this faith run with Him
realized that i have at many times wanted to throw in the towel, wanted to tell myself "i won't be able to handle all these"
how can i cope with so much commitments...like ushering, cg helper....i would be tempted to just return to the world...
but now God has showed me that his grace is sufficient for me....he is calling me to hang on his promises....trials and tribulations will surely come..but the one that comes out through these valleys are the true children of God
God has renewed my faith...i'll now look to him whenever i feel weak
thank you Jesus =)
alot of things gonna happen for the next few weeks...first the outreach, next class cip from mon to wed..then immediately i'll start work.....both looking forward and also a little fearful...
but perfect love casts out fear...that i'll rmb
been feeling very ill for the past two days...fever going on and off...felt horrible...wanted to vomit...had some ulcers in my throat...coz too heaty le..got to practise abstainence from all forms of fried, oily food..means no more chocolate cookies, no more fastfood...arrrh..but got no choice...
God heal me
anyway...jeanie must know that the whole cell group is behind you...we do not exactly understand wat u're going through...but we'll continually keep you in prayers...jiayou..
dun give up ya...know God's doing a mighty work through you...if anyone of us make u feel upset do let us know ya?....take care

something interesting to note.

Interesting Facts of City Harvest Church Buildingat No. 1 Jurong West Street 91
1.
Largest Column-Free SanctuaryThe main auditorium, with an area of 1,700 square metres, is the largest column-free church sanctuary in the Southeast Asian Peninsula.
2.
Largest "Transfer Beam" in the World6 floors of the building are resting on the "ceiling" of the column-free auditorium. The ceiling, technically known as a "transfer beam," is the largest ceiling structure in the world with an area of 3,500 square metres and a depth of 3 metres. Sato Kogyo and Bachy Soletanche jointly built it.
3.
First Titanium-Clad Building in AsiaThe front facade of the building is clad with the same titanium that wraps the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. The renowned museum is reputed to be the most beautiful contemporary architecture in the world today. According to the Swiss museum specialists, this building in Singapore is the first architecture with such titanium cladding in Asia.
4.
Largest Church BuildingFrom the lowest basement to the top of the steeple cross, the building is 54 metres in height, or equivalent to 18-20 floors of a HDB flat. This is the biggest church structure in the Southeast Asian Peninsula.
5.
To prevent the two HDB flats (within 9 metres from the perimeter of the building) from collapsing, or even having a hairline crack, a 1-metre thick diaphragm wall was constructed all around the boundary of the property before excavation works were carried out. The complexity of the construction was further intensified by the fact that the 4 basements had to be built "top-down" (constructing downward in the order of ground floor, basement 1, basement 2, basement 3 and then basement 4) rather than the conventional "bottom-up" approach.
6.
Tallest Partition Panels in the WorldThe sanctuary can be compartmentalised or partitioned into 7 smaller halls. While working on this project, Goldbeck GmbH designed the tallest partitions or "operable walls" in the world with each panel in the sanctuary measuring at 11.5 metres in height. (The previous tallest panel measured at only 9.5 metres.)
7.
First Broquard Fountain in Southeast AsiaMr. Jerome Broquard from Los Angeles, USA, is widely recognised as the number one fountain maker in the world. Mr. Broquard is the designer of the fountain wall at the front of the building and this assignment is his first fountain project in Southeast Asia. (Japan has the only other Broquard fountain in Asia.)
8.
Largest Stainless Steel Church Cross in the WorldAt 12 metres high and 800 kg in weight, the stainless steel cross is the largest in the world.
9.
Largest Sound Console in the WorldMr. Steven Le Roux, the sound and lighting consultant of the Sydney Opera House, provided consultancy services to City Harvest Church with relation to acoustics of the main sanctuary. The auditorium is fitted with a 60-channel sound console, which is the largest and only one of its size in the world.
10.
Mr. Dan Hess, a former top stage designer from Christie's Auction House in New York, is the designer of the auditorium's stage.
11.
The front lawn of the building has a reflecting pool and a putting green for golf enthusiasts.
12.
Most Advanced Fire Evacuation System in the WorldThe fire evacuation public announcement system, designed by Klotz Digital, is widely touted to be the most advanced and efficient in the market today. They designed this specially for the new Munich Airport which is due to be opened in 2003. The church was approached by Klotz Digital to be the first architecture in the world to be fitted with such a system.
13.
Largest Church Donation Campaign in Southeast AsiaThe land purchase and building construction costs a total of $47.6 million. This amount is raised locally and entirely from City Harvest Church's own congregation in Singapore over a period of 7 years. Only 45% of the congregation are working adults, the rest are mainly schooling youths, housewives and retirees.
14.
Largest Busing Programme in Southeast AsiaEvery weekend, 406 bus trips are made to ferry our members.

cheers!

2005-11-16T00:41:00.000+08:00

Well... A few thoughts I came up with recently… 1 question came up into my mind was What Is The Greatest Thing You Want God To Do In Your Life?

Lets think about it… Is it relationships, showing u the rite guy or girl? Is it no troubles in your life, blessing u with wonderful days everyday with no devils attacking? Is it health, blessing u and the peoples around u with healthy life? Or is it financially, blessing u moneys for your needs or wants?

After a few thoughts, I felt that showing the rite girl or guy in front of u so wad? If our characters stink, do u think the guy or girl will like u? Or does he or she have a choice to choose liking u or not? If u think he or she is the rite guy or girl and doesn’t have a choice to like u or not, guess wad… we have free wills. God may show it’s the rite guy or girl, but He didn’t say He will test the relationship. If our character is not rite, do u think we will hang on to the relationship or just throw in the towel?

Well, day comes day go, good days come good days go, bad days come and they go too... if u ask God to bless u with everyday a wonderful day with out troubles, wad will u gain? Wad will you learn? What will you overcome? Answer is… you guys know wad it is. Bad days are days we hate, days we don’t want to go through, days we want to avoid. By doing so wad are bad days for? To ruin your day? Why God wants to do that? So that He can show who’s the boss? The God we serve is a wonderful perfect God! God Is Good All The Time, All The Time God Is… GOOD!! Yes we like wonderful days because it make us happy, gain happiness… does that last long compare to the things we overcome and learn from it?
So what I think is when its time for your “training”, ask God to tell u when it comes, so that u will b prepared for the worse rather than facing the problems with no solutions.

When it comes to financial blessing, God sees our heart. When you want to give and you don’t have the money, pray for it, and it will surely come. When you want to have the things that u WANT, God sees what have you been giving and whether is in His will. If it is and you have been blessing others, Don’t Worry… God will surely bless you. There’s a saying – Take care of others and God will take care of you. How true it is…

Well as for me, the greatest thing I want to God do in my life is to be with me always… When He is around and something went wrong, He will work in us and solve the problems. But 1st He will shape our characters up so that we will know what things not to do that will grieve the Holy Spirit away. When He is with us, He will lead us into right relationships and continue leading us. Yes, trails will come but if our character is right and we hang on to Him, He will deliver us through. God will not protect us when He is around. Correct? Of Course NOT!! So we don’t have to worry about our health. He will meet our needs and when we want to do things that glorifies Him, like blessing others, He will not only provide, He will also reward after you give… How Great is HE?
Beyond what we think He is.

Haha.. quite long huh.. Lol but seldom i tink so much de.. but when i tink, i tink.. haha.. Well hope this will help you in one way or another.. haha cyaz..

one day to my birthday.
one more day before i leave my days of sweet 18 and embrace a new year of life ahead.
its time to grow up.
as in really grow up.
there's this thing in my heart that is constantly calling out to God to turn back time.
i'm looking forward to the day but not the change in age.
i want to be forever 17.
not as exagerated like what jeanie is delluding herself with; forever 12.
haha..
anyway..
if you have not bought me gift...
please do not have any second thoughts.
just transfer some money to my account.
my account number is 187-181-950..
minimum transfer is $1000.

if not,
a DHL of gifts worth at least $500 will also be most welcomed.

ok.i guess you must have figured that im bored.
6hours of do-nothing-absolutely-nothing in school for 2 weeks is lousy.
makes you feel lousy.
makes you speak lousy.
makes you behave lousy.
and most importantly,makes you blog lousy.

this is said just to substantiate my trash entry.

4more days before the results will be released.

God.I Pray.

I Beg.

I Trust.

I Have Faith.
in You.

and Myself.

ps:people having school holidays should be condemned.

yeah...finally i m here to blog my first entry...been hoping that i have time to do that..but there were just so much going on...
for most of u all...school holidays is here...except for the primary school pple..but i think u all are enjoying school as well =)
thinking bout this whole year..it brings lots of mixed feelings..
but i can be sure of one thing...i have grown...
hmm...this year...unpleasant things seem to follow in a chain..
to the extent that i almost just wanted to throw in the towel and tell God "i GIVE UP"
but at the brink of doing that...God always silently remind me that he is still here
its always so great to feel his presence just comforting u of all the hurts and telling u that u're loved
so remember that love of God ya?..
even though its suppose to have holidays..i m still as busy or even more than as school...my project's oral presentation's coming up....think when u go into JC u'll understand how irritating it can be..when u have to keep meeting up with ur group members to prepare slides and speak to pple to persuade them to take up ur idea...
still a little not too good at presenting...gonna pray i won't be so nervous that i'll mumble to myself and shiver..
so muz come and blog bout how u feel or maybe just a day recount k?..
this blog is meant for us to share

everyone seem to have relinguish themselves out from the once so-called stressful period of the year. now that exams are FINALLY over for almost all of you, and you heart is constantly on the race towards the long awaited freedom that you've been hoping to embrace, here i am still still stuck in misery.

while im left with 8 repugnant days left before i get over this burdensome period of examinations while almost, or rather, ALL the JC students are enjoying their Post-Promo games, and while the secondary school people continues with their carefree moments of their youth, i shall continue to devote my heart to my academics. the JC syllabus is just too heavy and content based. unless God performs a miracle, a miracle which exceeds its miraculous powers of the norm, then will the student be blessed with perhaps only an AO pass.

frankly speaking, i've finished up almost 99% of my revision, just that the fear of forgetting due to the nature of me being absent minded, i just can't get my mind off the intensive revision schedule that i've planned for myself. In addition to that, the constant muggers in class are also giving me stress, making me fear that if the cohord would to do exceedingly well, they would just moderate and raise the standard. and i vow that i would just delapilate and crumble into pieces.

as much as i've sulked on various blogs, hoping that someone out there would still share my agony, i guess reality would strike back as soon as i shut down this com and continue with the buzzle of life. but really, i guess optimism instead of pessimism would bring me further and grant me, perhaps one more level of strength and confidence to scale greater heights.

but relying on oneself is definitely a exorbitant thought. sometimes, without the interceding of divine powers, grace and mercy, i guess, we would never know the definition of accomplishing difficult tasks despite being labourious, in just a bliss.

anywy, good news.i thought that i would get 3/100 for my daily work for econs. but i got 61 for it somehow. with a constant average grade of 3/20 in almost all my assignments, i guess there must have been an error in the computation of the final grades. or maybe God intercede. whatever it may be, i wana Praise God for that.

so as i continue with this stressful period of examinations, you guys play hard and be on the count down and wait for my arrival!!

love:

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!!!

let's walk down the memory land of Mr Ong MaoSan and his 13 years of life on earth together.

since birth, Mr Ong MaoSan has been fighting a war with bad hair days and despite various attempts to conquer it, it was all to no avail.

let's take a look...

baby Mr Ang with NO hair. it was probably the best days of his life. but things did not remain as it is. life is not a fairy tale afterall.

after 13 years....he turned out to be like that..

but he wasnt happy with what he has now..and so...he tried many attempts to make do with what he has for himself...

and....

but he still wasn't happy..and so he went on a several more attempts..

and.....

but even after the few attempts..he still wasn't happy with the way he look. he was still convinced that there is more that could be done to enhance his features on his face and look smarter and more "in"

and he came out with a brilliant idea...oh my oh my..look at the glimspe of hope in that smile of his...

finally..he decided that he should just consult 3 world class professionals that his friends has been telling him about all these years.

left to right: Miss Merrien(PHD in Hair Design, Oxford University, 9years of experience in Hollywood), Miss LBH(1st Class Honest in Hair Colour and HairStyles, Cambridge University,15 years of enriching experiences in Bollywood), Mr Issac Teh(1st Class Honest and Degree in Artistic HairStyles, School of Hair Design, Texas and Germany,16 years of experience in TCS, Mediacorp, Bollywood and Hollywood.)

and Indeed! everything turned out fine! Great...infact...

but i've decided not to spoil the fun..so i shalt reveal to you his new look just yet. but of course, im not here to trash any high hopes...just a sneak preview of his back view..im sure that would satisfy your appetite to his new look..(great thanks to the 3 worldclass hairstylists)

here it goes......(cross fingers)

for more informaton. please do nt miss this week's cg and service.

come down and see the difference for yourself!
Money back garentee!!!
Terms and Conditions apply.

Oh Happy Day!

i just realized how exceptionally beautiful and comforting it is to rely upon His word and support in all my endevors.

Too many words have been expressed to glorigy His name and to testify His works of wonders. Too frequently expressed to a point whereby it might sound cliche.

but above all that, no one would really be completely convinced until they feel it themselves. until then, it'll only remain as the cliche words spoken by others instead of a personal encounter.

Jeanie's first entry...

wah!!...great blog...tks meifeng for creating this bloggie...hmmm...i'm pretty new to blogger...so need some time to explore...heee...gif me some time b4 i start posting pixs n stuff...but this is nt my personal blog...this is w263 blog!!...so everyone...let's explore blogger together...=p

let tis be another way for us to communicate wif one another..to encourage one another...another mean to update one another on the happenings in our school...to share God's goodness in our lives...=p some of u may nt share testimony in cg...coz of various reasons...tis can be a place where you share wif us too...=p let's keep tis going..=p

hmmm...let me start off by sharing wif u guys what i haf learn in school for the past few wks...was very bless for the past few wks coz pst mike was teaching...for those of you who do nt know him...He is a very anointed man of God...espcially in the area of deliverance, inner healing etc..most of u should know him n heard him preach b4 rite? coz he was wif us last wkend...=p

well..one of the things he taught was regarding our emotions...man has emotions...there are times when we feel disappointed...anger...etc...it's nothing wrong to feel all these emotions...if not God will not haf created man wif emotions le...=p however...what causes man to fall into sin is how we react to those emotions...are u reacting in your own fleshly way or are u reacting in God's way? for an example: you din haf a good day in school...your classmates irritated you...ya teacher scolded you for nothing...you cca din go well...everything juz went wrong...in you there's a mix feeling of anger...frustration n disappoinment...n when u go back home...your mum starts to talk/nag at you...how will you react? flare up at your mum? (Fleshly respond) or open up to your mum...share wif her...n head back to your room to get into the presence of God..to be recharge once again...

friends...do not surpress your emotions..it's nt veri healthy...share wif ppl whom you are comfortable wif...talk to God abt it...King David was very open to God regarding his emotions...be open my friends...=p

there's so much to share but so little time...hee...will be back here once again...better stop typing b4 u guys dose off...hee...take care folks..=p
