Cell Meeting dated 7th July

Whether you have attended cell, it’s good to read through:

Take the City Walk
Everyone will get a pledge card from me. Get donations from your family and friends for the 18 services TOUCH provides. If you were to go door-to-door, please only go to the neighbors you know.

On the 29th July, let us take part in the walk together. Yes, it’s very early in the morning. But please come. Bring your friends along for this healthy exercise!

SFSA Tribal Gathering 21st July (Friday)
SA tribe will be leading worship while Pastor Serene will be sharing a message. Let’s pray for Serene that she may receive the rhema word of GOD that will minister deep into all our hearts.

Meanwhile, the current arrangement for worship, pertaining to our cell, is as such:

Yang Chen, Siyang and Angeline will be my dancers
(small) Michelle, Jingwen, Lin Nan, (small) Eunice, Jayne and Vivian will be part of the choir.

As our tribe is running the entire gathering, I do not expect anyone to miss it. Please kindly discuss with me if you have other reservations or if you are not pleased with the worship arrangement.

Shanghai Trip 8th – 14th July
Yang Chen is fulfilling the G12 ‘calling’ – go out to the nations to preach the Gospel. Yes, this is not a church event. However, as much as possible, we hope to impact the 100 Shanghai students through our 100 representatives from TOUCH, including Yang Chen. Clap Clap! Yang Chen’s fund-raising has been miraculous. In a span of a week, more than $300 came to her!

Prayer requests:
Pray that wisdom be with Yang Chen that she may rise up and speak in boldness at appropriate times. May she ooze out the fragrance of GOD and her counterparts to see JESUS in her.
Pray for Senior Pastor that as he performs MOL there, the audience catches the gist of the show – love between the Father and daughter. May the Spirit of GOD move freely!


Senior Pastor’s (SP) new series of sermons
Divinely, SP’s new series of sermons on ‘JESUS is LORD’ is inlined with the 40 day prayer and fast booklet, which, to date, mentioned about Idolatry and Individualism.

Question: How do we prepare ourselves for this series of sermons?
--> Read, pray and fast according to the 40-day prayer booklet. The booklet guides us in identification and repentance of Idolatry, Individualism, Intellectualism etc
--> Reflect on your lives after reading each entry in the prayer booklet. No point reading through it without any reflection.
--> As you reflect, ask yourselves if JESUS is magnified in your
(1) Studies
Do you prioritize studies before GOD?
Are you non-chalant about your studies?
(2) Work/ Friendships
Do you conform to the patterns of the world? Gossips etc?
(3) Family
Do you honor your parents and love your siblings?

Miracle Catch Processing – by SP
SP didn’t concur to the idea of having 7-8 services during Miracle Weekend. He felt 3 is enough. Sounds oxymoron – SP wants us to rise up in faith, yet he seems ‘faithless’ that the church will not be overflowing. Is this so?

There are three types of people among our midst.

- Those who responded to take up the Miracle Catch challenge but didn’t have the faith to believe nor done much work to make it happen (a moment of excitement)

- Those who responded to take up the Miracle Catch. Truly believing GOD will make it happen and worked hard. But he/she lack certain skill sets which hinder the revival to come. For instance, he/she does not have an oikos. (A group of people whom you meet up weekly)

- Those who responded, prayed fervently and worked hard. Invited 20 friends but only 1 or 2 turned up. SP suggested that it could be because the ground is hard, and hence much more prayers need to be done. Also, unity of the Body of Christ is essential. We need to speak in one language, especially as a church.

Questions to ponder:
Which group do you belong to? Therefore, what is lacking? Faith, work or more prayers and unity is needed?

I sense dis-unity in this cell group due to nationality differences and age gap. Yet, I believe the Blood of Christ is all that we need to claim upon this cell group to birth forth a new level of unity among us.

Challenge yourself to spend some time understanding each other more.
