Our Staff Summit went really well last week.. I had a dream planning committee!
Everyone in my team was self-motivated, talented and effective & efficient… it really made my job rather ‘redundant’.. =) Thanks guys for making it a fun time for me! It was indeed a joy & privilege to co-labour with each of u!
Had an interesting conversation with a friend one of the nites…
It was her response to what I shared about my experiences at Lausanne that set me thinking!
She said ‘Hearing this kind of stories..and your story… really made me fall more in love with Jesus...’
We went on to talk about how sometimes we measure our walk with Jesus by how much we’ve grown… when it might be more helpful to see it from the point of view how much we’re more in love with Jesus.
We live in a world that is focussed on growth! And there’s really nothing wrong with with growth.. in fact, it’s essential that we grow, develop, learn etc. But too often, our perspective of growth is ‘we got to get this right’, ‘we need to grow out of this rut’, ‘we need to be able to do this better’ etc.etc. And perhaps as a result we get ourselves frustrated.. when we realize that we still make the same mistakes, fall into the same ‘pits’ in our life, commit the same sins over and over again… =( So we may conclude that we’ve not grown.. and we get discouraged.. or worse, disillusioned.
The past few months as I look back at all the stuff I’ve gone thru in my life.. and in my walk with God.. I can quite safely say that I’ve ‘grown’… but I’d like to think that instead of measuring from a growth point of view… I’ve become more in love with Jesus!
Having witnessed all that He’s done in my own life.. and experienced His love over and over again, unconditionally each time… I know He’s so in love with me. And it’s caused me love Him more…
Coming back to my conversation with my friend… I went to bed that night thinkin’ … I like it that whenever I relate God’s stories in my life others ‘fall more in love with Jesus’… because they catch glimpses of God’s great love for them too… =) That will be my motivation for sharing my heart, reflecting all that God has done.
I pray too, for many of you who read my updates (on this blog) will ‘fall more in love with Jesus’ too whenever you read reports, hear stories of God’s faithfulness and love in our lives!
That would make all this blogging, journalling so worth it! 
Yep… in about a month’s time.. Lil and I will be headed for our 1st MRT ‘ride’… =)
It’s ForeRunner’s Mongolia Resource Trip.
ForeRunner’s heartbeat has always been for the lost. However, recognizing that we cannot reach the world alone, we seek to equip, enhance and empower other like-minded music ministers and ministries to help them reach their target groups more effectively. This strategy, is in many ways, is like ForeRunner’s way of ‘Discipleship’, multiplying our efforts to help fulfill the Great Commission.
We’ve been invited to train and cast vision for the staff and graduating students who are very keen on starting a music ministry. Their National Director has recently given them a green light to officially start a music ministry.
Our goal there is to further inspire them with what we do in ForeRunner… share our experiences, success models, what has worked for us, what has not… conduct some training… share some resources… show them our materials.. do some consultations (answer their questions with regards to starting music ministry, philosophy of music ministry etc.) While we are there.. of course we hope to encourage them, pray for them, share lives with them.
Lil has been ‘itching’ for some action.. plus she’s got fond memories of our trip there in 2001 (when we took Josh then 3, and Emily then 7months). So I’m really glad that she can make this trip. Mom has kindly offered to take care of the 3 kids.. again, so that she can go freely to minister! =) We originally thot of bring Josh along.. but because of a recent asthma attack, and the cold temperatures.. (-15 degrees!!) we were advised by a family doctor not to.
Do pray for us as we prepare.. and as we trust God for the funding that we’ll need for this trip…
