THANK YOU

Dear brothers & sisters in Christ..
I would like to take this opportunity to express heartfelt thanks and gratitude on behalf of my family for your kind concern during my hospitalization.
It is said that you will know your true friends in your hour of need, and I count it my rich blessing to have your encouragement and prayers during my moment of infirmity.
I thank the Lord for seeing my family and I through this week and though the sequence of events that happened, I believe that it has worked together for good in the end.

Bretheren..
There is always a silver lining in every cloud and I have learned to take this time to rest and reflect. Sometimes life gets so hectic and out of control that *God forbid* a spanner is thrown into the works just to halt everything for a moment. It's as though God is saying ''have a break, have a Kit Kat''.
He does have a sense of humour, after all.

On a more serious note, the near-fatality of this incident has hit home a very important truth. Life is fragile. We are like the morning mist. Our lifespan is but a breath compared to the eternity of God's timing. All the more we should make our lives count by living for our Lord Jesus Christ and serving Him wholeheartedly.
But be encouraged that He has us in the palm of His hand and nothing will befall us except with His permission and His grace is sufficient to see all of us through.

Brothers & sisters in the Lord.
I also take this opportunity to encourage you to stay faithful in running the race together. The leaders, the congregation, the shepherd, the sheep, the young and the young at heart. None should be left out or left behind as we take a page from Paul:
''Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth untothose things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus''
Phil 3 : 13-14

A fellow servant,

LETTER FROM THE HEART

Dear Brethren,
I am writing to all you Young Adults because I am concerned for you. This has always been in my mind for a long time and I am seeing that the other leaders are following my footsteps. I have repeatedly reminded them in my conversation and prayers that the leaders cannot be seen to be unfriendly, unapproachable and aloof. Not that they are.

I am wondering what is keeping some of you from supporting this life group. Could we have a dialogue? We want your input and suggestions.

This fellowship is meant for you. We want this group to be vibrant and active.

You are the future leaders of the church. We want to give our input to you. Many of you.
I have known for so many years and are now in university and working. God has blessed all of you. Do not trade you spiritual heritage with that of the world. You have to study and work but surely there is time for the things of the Lord and not on Sunday only.

All of you should continue to keep the communication open.

I hope my appointment as an Elder does not keep all of you from approaching and relating with me. This is done because the church needs to have a continuity. In the near future the picture would be the same.

In fact, honestly my hands are really full. With family, work at the hospital and church work (esp. the Music & Worship Ministry and Life Groups), it is tough. I have to travel to PD to be with the folks there for Life Group on and off.

We encourage you.
You encourage us.

From my heart to all of you.
More to come.

Bye.
God Bless.

Say Khim
