Drama on Christmas

We had very interesting programs on Christmas Day service.

Hand signs by the Children Church, singing couples, conflict by the youth, testimony by Peter, drama "Mother and Daughter" by the House Fellowships.

It was so touching that people cried! Hope that the Spirit of God really touched those hearts! 

Simple Christmas dinner

Christmas dinner at home. Had been cooking for others, it's time for us to sit down and have our own. Mary invited her ex-boss James and family.

Dinner consisted of homecooked mushroom soup, roast beef, ceasar salad, broccoli, garlic bread, chestnut-stuffed Christmas chicken. Drink for the kids was KL Virgin mocktail and sparkling wine for the grown-ups.

Simple yet sumptuos!

IT'S CHRISTMAS!

Last week was full of festive activities. On Friday night, our home fellowship had a Christmas celebration at a member's son's tuition centre and more than 100 ppl turned up! I cooked this turkey for them! On Saturday the youth group had a Christmas cum birthday party at our house in Sri Petaling! We were pleasantly surprised with a group of carollers from the St. Xavier's Catholic Church afterwards!

Mission Trip to Kuantan

I was invited by the Hainanese Gospel Centre in Kuantan to preach on the topic "Blessings, Curses and Deliverance". I based my talk on a book by Pastor Derek Prince. After I told my friend that I cannot possibly cover the topic in one hour, he kindly arranged another session on Saturday night. Apart from those members from the church, the rest of the audience came from the Methodist Church, the Assembly of God and the Presbyterian Church. There was hunger and much spiritual need.

The trip was fruitful. I had an opportunity to counsel a couple who are close friends. They had problems with their pastor and we had a cordial time talking things over. The introductory course on counselling we had just attended put us on the right track.

God is opening up doors for ministry but I need to prayerfully seek His direction.

Thank God we had the wonderful opportunity to catch up with old friends (some I have not met for more than 30 years!) and met new ones. Due to their overwhelming hospitality, we were taken to various places with yummy food including "Nasi Dagang", an east coast delicacy which I cannot find in Kuala Lumpur!
