“May this room be the place where new visions (for the ministry) are discussed and birthed…” prayed Sharon as she closed in prayer.

That really echoed in my heart… cos’ this is the place where my leadership team will meet weekly to chart direction for the ministry. May the Lord also use this room to refresh those who need it, when people meet to share heart to heart here. =)

A word of thanks… to Roland for strongly believing that leaders need ‘thinktime’ And for choosing to help ur leaders carve out that space for that. I thank God for you.

Each person you see in this picture is truly an answer to many prayers for labourers.

We especially thank God for leading 5 new people to join us as interns with ForeRunner.

“Then He said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few, Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”” – Matthew 9:37,38

Wow… it’s been a while since i posted anything…
frankly, so much has been happening i don’t know where to begin.

Growth seems to be the theme for the past months…

The kids are growing soooo fast. I’m just learning to enjoy every moment of it… treasuring every stage of their growth and development. Truth is, once we miss it, we’ll never be able to re-capture it again.

The ministry is growing too… We’ve almost doubled in size! Now we have 11 staff in ForeRunner. 5 of which are STINTers (people who have chosen to give a year of their lives to serve God). As one of my co-workers described.. God must have something extraordinary in store for ForeRunner.

Personal growth, in faith and character has always been part of God’s agenda for our lives. And this continues to be true for Lil and me. We’re humbled by God’s never-ending love for us, his grace and mercy in allowing us to makes mistakes in parenting, in leadership, and in life.

We do seek your prayers in these areas…

• for us fix our eyes on Jesus, to keep our focus on Him always.
• that we would not ‘squeeze’ him out of our lives, but instead to allow Him to work in our lives.
• for love and care as we reflect God to our kids, so that they may accurately reflect Christ to the world
• for godly wisdom as I (Simon) lead the ministry, for joy in serving the Lord
• for wisdom as I (Lillian) coordinate Praise & Worship for women’s conference in Feb ’06
