Stories From The Field

It's that time of the year again! For those of you who missed it, here is the bi-annual missions newsletter that we released over the past two Sundays. :) We hope you will be blessed and inspired by the stories. This time around we introduced to you the 4-14 Window, in the coming months we hope to bring you more info here.

Talents in Places

The past month or so has seen the editorial team up in arms in preparation for the upcoming missions weekend! Another newsletter packed with lotsa good reports, and a video montage with a twist.

Meanwhile, this is a wonderful account from Bro Mervin, who went on his first mission trip last December after having known Christ for 20 years! We didn't have enough space in the newsletter, but we hope this makes its way to you nonetheless. :)

2010 saw my first ever mission trip. I was psyched up after hearing so many stories and the many wonders of God. I took up the roles in the skit team and also as the designated videographer for the trip.

Even before the trip, I had already begun learning -- spiritually and socially. This was all necessary for the trip to be a success. This mission trip opened my eyes to the spiritual and material riches that we already possess, but much taken for granted.

I saw the yearning of the people in China, how they hungered for the Word, how they generously given the little that they had. I saw how much they desired & fed upon the limited access of the Word, how they loved each other, how they loved God. They had expressed their love for God through their actions, their willingness to serve, instead of shallow lip-service.

"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:10

No matter how little your talents, God will use and multiply it, if you are willing.
