Manna Church First Chinese Encounter Camp

Praise be to the Lord God Almighty! We just had the first ever Chinese Camp for the Men.

All of them had been delivered and freed from bandages and wonderfully filled with the Holy Spirit.

Thank God that I, as the lone instructor was able to communicate the truths of God across. Praise God for His grace and enabling.

Pineapple attacked

Our beautiful pineapple growing for one year was attacked by the long-tailed.

What is more important is not to allow our precious souls snatched away by the enemy Satan.

Work out then our salvation in fear and trembling!
woo---hooo---! Waht a sad day! "The devil came to steal and to kill, The Son of Man came that we may have life and have it more abundantly!" ----Jesus in John 10:10

Trip to Kunming

My wife, Mary and I went to Kunming on an exploratory trip to sense God's leading for my future service.

God has wonderfully provided this inexpensive Hotel room, kind favor of Bob.






The restaurant here allows you to see and choose whatever dishes from the rack.

Mission to Sg. Besar and Hutan Melintang

I and Mary and the two full time workers, Sister Lim Swee Too and Sister Ng Mue Chu.
The lady that was healed in the centre

Preaching from my heart out!
What a wonderful worship leader! Sis. Lim Swee Too


On 15 August 2009, my dear wife, Mary and I went to Sungei besar and Hutan Melintang for a short mission. The map provided by the church only leads us up to Sg. Besar. After settled down at FGA, Sg. Besar, we went to a nearby cafe for dinner. In the cafe, two men were sitting at the next table. From their slang, I knew they are Teochew. So I got up to ask one of them whether he knew how to get to Hutan Melintan. He, without any hesitation answered imediately, "I am from there, when do you want to go, just follow me." We told him we just ordered food, we shall depart once we finished our dinner. He said, "Just let me know when you are ready to go." He then asked why we were going there. we said we were going there to preach at the church. he said he knew there is a church. After dinner, he not only led us to Hutan Melintang, but also right to the front door of FGA, Hutan Melintang. All praise and glory to God, He sent angel to guide us!
The evening service was wonderful and full of God's glory. During the worship, the full time worker there---Sis. Lim Swee Too, was very good at worship. I got a word of knowledge from the Lord that someone had stomach ache for a few days and could not get well. So just before the sermon, I said to the congregation that God has a word for them. Several hands went up instead of just one. I saw a Chinese sister walked over to an Indian lady and told her: "you, you!" Immediately after I prayed a prayer for healing, the Indian sister shouted: "I am healed, No more pain!" Hallelujah and glory be to God the Almighty healer!
The next morning we had trhe service at FGA Sg. Besar. The service was more organised and had more participants rather than one-man show. I ahd the sense that the response was much better at the Hutan Melintang church.
After the service, one brother Khoo took us to Pasir Penambang, where we found a lttle restaurant for lunch. There the crabs and fish were alive and fersh! Really excuisite!

IT IS A DONE DEAL

What a beautiful view! Relaxing by the beach!
