morn. decide to blog since i now free... talked about the past few days events...
Saturday & Sunday
we had rev mike connell minister to us. preached about ministering & deliverance. i heard this msg before a few times le. but also looking forward to his sermon. after each svc ends. half an hr break before the deliverance ministry starts. sat deliverance not bad. i acc my member down to the altar call. as i lay my hands on his back, mike connell walk pass us. i saw him aproaching me and he lay hands on me. i fall under the power of God. i went for the last altar call. spirit of fear, rejection but of cos not death lah. i manifested and cough and vomitted. in the midst of the svc earlier on, i had stomachache and i vomitted. dunno wat i eat or do. i never eat for the whole day since busy from the morn till the svc. we had the sentosa outreach and thank God it is a successful one. slight drizzle but everything went on smoothly and every member and friend enjoy themself. ok. back to the ministry. after delivered, i felt weak and empty, differ kind of feelings and place. my legs wobby feeling. after that, when wen kai share wif us, i just sit there solemn. but anyway God is good. i feel great and rejoiced and lifted up after a night rest.
Sunday deliverance ministry is so much better. again i acc my members to get delivered. this time i never get lay hands on. but at the end, when pst derek ministered to us, when we sing the song " holy spirit come" and " we love holy spirit", the tangible presence fill the entire place. i begin to weep, cry and cry. i really really feel the presence of Him touching me, feel me the love of God. this time everywhere things happen under the power of God, ppl manifesting, crying, i heard one sis shouted very long with one breath. wow. the longest shout ever with one breath. after that wat i know is i on the floor sitting down. when i asked ard later, the truth is pst derek, as he speaks he blows and " bang" the power of God filled us, everywhere ppl crying and laughing. i was laughing thru out and rolling on the floor for quite some time. these were stated from my zone member who is beside me. wow. i really did not know wat i doing. i just have faith received the anointing and the love from Him. praise the lord. God is good. i really feel great after the deliverance ministry. great in the sense spiritually and emotionally though physically weak after prayin and pining ppl down when they manifested. it is hard work pining and holding the ppl down. esp the fitter bros. :>

been very long since i updated my blog le. sorry. busy and lazy to blog.. anyway to update everyone. i just back from Taiwan.. here it goes....
Back from Taiwan!
I'm finally back from Taiwan and boy oh boy it was fun. I believe I had done a lot of stuffs and truly it's rewarding, blessed and fruitful especially the spiritually side of me...
Just to update anyone who doesn't know me and don't bother to read the other blogs, I just went over to Taiwan on the 8th July to help out in a voluntary work for a youth conference, Taiwan Emerge.. It's a extremely big event, with many churches all over Taiwan coming over for this event, amounting to few thousands people attendance per day. We packed the whole Taipei University sport hall man.
Event started on 10th July, 10am. That time is for the main crowd, but I started work at 7am. Arranging everything and making sure all things goes well. Interestingly, I was the in-charge for the balcony and internal crowd of the whole event. Taking care of my section, taking care of my sporean ushers and taiwanese ushers, and also include taking care of the congregation of close to 1000 ppls at my side. making sure the ppls came in are ushered to their seat, queues are neat and not blocking the area and also do crowd control, making sure everyone had a seat and every seat is filled up are my main job.. though it seems that I'm running around all the time... actually it is. running ard attend to ppl, solve the problem, chief usher pass me instruction, listen and run and do le etc. this whole event tires my entire body esp my legs. Since I didn't had the chance to update my blog daily during the whole event, i shall do it in a orderly manner.
8th July 07...
Upon boarding the plane to Taiwan, a mixture of feelings came as I embarked on a mission to Taiwan.. first time on plane and on a mission trip. And so I guessed, but still taking a plane is still quite a nice thing to do. Got nice looking air stewardess serving me. I slept for a bit during take off and then it's movie time.. Whether what good shows there are.. It's one thing i like about taking planes is that there are some movies for me to watch as I don't go to the movies to 'update' myself with the latest moives. So the trip was good cause I gotta watch 300. A brutal, action packed show with a serious violence theme. My kind of show... haha.. Then food is served. Food is pretty good. At least got my favourite fish... Then after watching 300, I watched Blaze of Glory. A funny show about ice skating.. Interesting theme too. After 2 shows, the plane arrives in Taiwan...Once out of the CKS airport, we travelled on a coach to the hotel. From my experience in Taiwan, the hotel usually will be some 3stars hotel or the so-called 5 stars, but seriously don't know how they graded their hotel.. but this time, I'm surprised and impressed... the hotel is superb.. Grand, nice lobby and a very classy setup of the registry tells me it's really a 5star. Lift don't really impressed me, but the rooms are pretty good.. Got chance to go Taiwan, go for that hotel, i would say..
9th July 07...
Emerge haven't started so there are lots of time for shopping and more shopping.. What can I say... though I'm a strong, healthy male, I love shopping as much as any female will.. Though I can't stand bargaining for cheap goods, or walk the whole day window shopping for things i don't really know... I'm quite focus.. branded goods are what I want!!! We went to the back alley to look for breakfast, or should I say lunch.. haha.. Found a really nice Japanese resturant. the setup is very Zen. Upon entering, I was welcomed by a very nice, warm lady who shows us to our seat. 3 of us were there and she introduced some of the good food that the resturant have. We ordered and we feast... The one nice thing about this resturant is that the food is very good, and there are many things that are free of charge.. Can just refill and refill. Like rice for example. And the food are very traditional. After that we travelled to Taipei 101, the pride of Taiwan I would say. It's a huge building that is 101 storey high. From many areas of Taipei, you can actually see the top of the building. At Taipei 101, we shop around and explore the area. Looks very much like Takashimaya in Singapore. Expensive, branded stuffs in here.. Time's up, we went over to New Life Church at 101, Ren Ai Road, where pastor Abraham's church is. Small church in terms of size, but definitely not in membership, prayer and spiritual areas. They are really strong in the spirit and can tell that they are like us in HollyWood days.. We gathered together, Singaporean and Taiwan SOT members for a combined prayer meeting.. Led by pastor Kong himself, we prayed and prayed for many things concerning Emerge 07, Taiwan and many more.. It's a great experience as both Singapore and Taiwan christians getting together to pray for Emerge to be a great success.. I bet it will because we pray!!..
10th July 07... prep day!
Preparations started as we went down to the site. Located in NTU(not singapore!!) we are instructed to carry out different tasks, like carry equipments, carry foldable chairs, lay chairs in position, clean up the area, blah blah blah. We worked closely with the Taiwanese in all things.. The whole day is just about doing all these.. Until the night time, the main team arrives in Taiwan and arrive in NTU. The whole team only consists of 68 people. Small team!!! but definitely possible to do big things.. And so, it ended with all of us going back and preparing for the big day back in our own room..
11th July 07... Start your engine
First day of Emerge and what a day to start with. Woke up 6am and start work at 7am. I was picked to be one of the usher and also a key appointment holder in ushering. Actually, it's my first time being an usher and boy oh boy, I'm a IC.. how fun can it be.. to make things worse, my throat is drying up and eventually have a terrrible sore throat and my voice is gone.. Can't really talk, but fortunately I can talk with my eyes.. so I will stare into people's eyes, and communicate... haha. crap. but somehow I managed to get my instructions over. Tired and frustrating start but nevertheless it's a good day and I managed to perform well in my appointment as a section IC.
12th July 07....
Bad throat and my voice haven't get better a bit.. 2nd day of emerge and things are rather stable on the ushering side, though there are always some hiccups, but all manageable ones. I managed to perform well in the appointment and got everything going smoothly.. The 2nd day was better than the first because the atomsphere was really good..
13th July 07....
Throat got better and it's a day of independence... for me... Being Section IC really not easy to do... Well, sure is interesting enough because I GOT NO FREAKING EXPERIENCE!!However, I didn't shun away from my duty. In order to make things well, I gotta apply some common sense and street wisdom.. Well, managed to pull off well, and solve a few problems that seems big.. Thank God for His wisdom..Everything turns out really good and I'm quite happy that I managed to survive this day as an IC..
14th July 07... It is finished!!!
Last day of Emerge and in the morning, we had a basketball match and a soccer match with the Taiwanese. Obviously, we lost big time in the basketball match. Those people are great in basketball. With all the good players in their team, we are not really able to do much except to do our very best... In the end, we lost but gained friendship and fun.. We thrashed them in soccer though, but really, Taiwanese don't really play soccer. They love baseball, basketball, but not soccer.. So, naturally, we thrashed them quick..Night falls, and the queues is there again.. a quick challenge though, as it rains a bit, forcing me to make big decision on the ground that will affect the lives of thousands.. pretty cool. Just a order to open door or not, can make the lives of many good or bad.. Well, I made the decision, and God help me stop the rain.. Great combo!! Hall opened and everyone rushes in. It was a great time as it's the finale, it's the longest, yet most happening one.. We sang, praised and worshipped for nearly 1hour and then we had our prize presentation for the teams who took part in Emerge. Taiwanese though cause it's their Emerge. Then we had Jay Zhou, Lin Jun Jie, Liu Geng Hong, F.I.R coming up on stage and sang a few songs. Blown all the people away man, and everyone was like super charged, super excited.. Then pastor Kong gave the last sermon for Emerge about the Horn that different people in the bible have and how it was passed down.. Impressed and inspired me greatly. It ended well and everyone had a great time in Emerge, we went off feeling so blessed..
15th July 07... Day of rest
Just like God needs His rest on the 7th day, we too, need a short break from the heretic life of the past 4 days.. Lack of food, sleep are quite common, so on this day, we rested... hahhaa. Early in the morning, like all Christians, we went to be ministered to by the Word of God. Went to New Life church and seat in as a guest in the church. Welcomed by the Taiwanese and treated as VIP was quite a good thing.. Never had before in my life though.. I'm usually the worker ant, not the queen.. so yeah... Anyway, half the time after praise and worship, I'm geared to fight the Monster Z and trying to hear what pastor Kong is preaching despite the clashes of steel from the battle of Monster Z. Tough fight, but I won eventually... Amen.. haha. After service, I and a bunch of Singaporean went to eat curry rice. Very nicely made and I enjoy the food.. but what's more important is shopping!!!.. i bought lots of stuff, for myself and buying for ppl.. the clothes i bought. it's nice.. just nice.... and I love it.. brought it. and we went off back to the hotel.. rest a bit and shop again!!!!
16th July 07.... Day of rest part 2...
Haha, 1 day seems not enough, but this day, it's a interesting day. I woke up at 7am and dressed up for hot spring!! yeah, bunch of us decided to go Wu Lai to bath in hot spring.. It's a famous place for hot spring and we went there.. It's a 1hr 45mins journey to there via the MRT in Taiwan and a bus all the way up to the top. There is a village there and we went for the hot spring... It was heavenly, for those who didn't try before. Do go there, because after you go in and bathe in it, your whole body seems to relax and the only thing you want to do next is sleep... and it's really deep sleep... maybe we are too tired, but it just feel so good to shut down a while... Night time came fast and we started packing up for tomorrow flight.. rest and sleep well..
17th July 07... Back to square 1
Woke up early to pack up and prepare to go for the airport, I had my last bath and went down to take a bus to CKS airport. Reaching the airport, I was gathered together with the rest of the Singaporean who came over and check in... I feel that I haven't had enough of Emerge really. though it's quite tough for the 4 days, but it's rewarding and fun. I get to know a lot of Taiwanese. They are really fun people to be with and I believe they will grow stronger in the Lord. Next year, I guess. I will return to this land and serve the people again as I'm called to.. Hope God gives me the chance to do so..
In summary, Emerge have once again changed my life and views of life.. Sometimes I will think that, what is wrong with me? Paying for my own plane, hotel and expenses, going to Taiwan and serve people.. I think I'm crazy... But to think about it, the whole Emerge won't be successful if everyone thinks that way.. I'm strong in the Lord, that's why it is only right to bless the others who are growing. I just hope that in my remaining days of my life, I can do as much as I can to be a blessing to others.. Maybe that's my calling.. To serve and to help out..
Next year Emerge!!.. I will definitely consider!!! See ya around!!! :>
