CSU conference



About 5000 Campus Crusade staff from mostly from different parts of US, Canada, Brazil, Egypt, Trinidad and of us Singaporeans gathered in Moby Gym, in Colorado State University for the US staff conference. It was an awesome sight. Not just because of the size of the crowd but at how God has raised up so many people for His work and provided for all our needs. Everyday in the conference we had worship and heard from well known bible expositors like John Piper, Alice Matthews and Joe Stoewell.

It encouraged my heart to learn about what God is doing in different parts of the world like the Middle East and East Asia. And most importantly, it gives me courage to trust God for spiritual movements everywhere.

beautiful mountains at Rockies

We had the opportunity to go up the Rockies. What beautiful mountains God has created, praise Him!

it's Vonette Bright!
One of the highlights was to meet up close and personal with the faith giants-including Mrs Vonette Bright, founder of Campus Crusade (with Dr Bill Bright)

yummy pizza

The trip was a much-needed rest and recharger.. I simply enjoyed spending time with fellow staff, eating a pizza or a Subway..But sometime toward the last week I really missed fishballs and wanton mee back at home ;p



What made the time in CSU extra special were the interactions with people, including international friends..(that's Courtney a staff kid fr US and Sam, a new staff from Korea-extreme right)

While I still miss the times we spent in CSU, I'm eager to return to ministry back in Singapore- Can't wait to see how the Lord will lead us in reaching every student!

Mongolia

Image
It's been a week plus since I returned from Mongolia. I've never expected to go there, even for a mission trip..well God's ways are higher and better I believe! One of the first things I had to adjust to was the colder weather. It was dry- my lips were cracking and my hands and feet were getting scaly.. I had to put on lots of mosturizing cream. Before long I was marveling at the buildings and roads that I did not expect to see in Mongolia. They were Russian style, built when they controlled the country many years ago. I was surprised to hear that all their universities were near one another, lined up along what was the University Street. Coolz.. The people were strange and interesting to me. They spoke in such a queer language that it sounded like Japanese, Malay and Cantonese simultaneously! Hard as we tried, we never really suceeded in speaking it. Yet it did not stop us from sharing the gospel to 90 Mongolian students, out of which 38 received Christ! The hea...

'Hesed' way of life

After Women's Conference, I ran a fever and a Gen 12II meeting at the same time. Thank God the fever is gone now and the meeting was fruitful! I learnt many precious lessons from the lives of close to 200 women at the conference. We heard from many inspiring women-Judy Douglas, Andrea Buczynski, and Dr Kim who expounded on the book of Ruth-another woman whom I had learnt much from. In the bible, Ruth was a Moabite whom clung on to her mother-in-law Naomi. She believed in and served Yah Weh. She lived a life of 'Hesed'- Loving Kindness- and one aspect of it is living life beyond and above what is expected. It inspires me to know that I can live life "surpassingly." One area that comes to mind in living "surpassingly" is that of missions. I'm going to Laos this March, along with 6 other young and fun-loving Poly students and 3 other adults. As time nears, and support raising gets tougher, my heart gets more excited but also more fearful. Will ...

in remembrance of my dear bro-Christopher

When I first saw Christopher 2 years ago, he was staring at a computer in GCTC. That was before I joined Campus Cruasde as a STINTer. He was one of those who egged me on to join staff. And he was really very happy when I finally did. He told me that when he first saw me, he got the feeling I would join staff. "Nothing happens for no reason." He said, and I laughed. I was glad that we were batch mates on STINT. In time, I got to know that he was attached to Winnie, a fellow staff. He shared with me while on the bus one day how he got to know her and became boy-girl friends. Though I never felt Christopher was a romantic guy,he was definitely very serious about romance. "I chose to love Winnie, love is a choice." Christopher has always been someone I could talk to on a heart level. His sincere and pure heart meant I could share freely with him. He was almost always cheerful in every circumstance. It must be joy from the Lord. Last year, Christopher was diag...
