Luke 1 : 76 ¨C 79
You will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him (Luke 1:76b).
The last few weeks have been exciting time of many movements in our church.
I refer to the sending out of teams to the XEE Course in Kota Kinabalu, Mission team to Brisbane and Sydney, Prayer Mountain experience in Seoul, Mission team to Mauritius. It has been a great joy to hear their reports back to the church after each event. Last Sunday we have just prayed for the Mission team to Thailand. Later this month, we will also send three of our staff to join The Seminar on Wise Parenthood
in Kuala Lumpur. It is a joy to know that the faith of all those who are involved have been challenged and they have grown deeper in the Lord. God has used all to bless others.
This coming week 48 of our young people will go to the English Youth Camp in Kota Kinabalu and 130 to the BM Youth Camp in Telupid respectively. Our own Youth Department will be hosting the Diocesan Youth Camp. I am told that a total of 443
will be here for the Chinese Youth Camp. These three Youth Camps will attract
a total of 2180 young people. Obviously God is moving and working among our young people. Amidst all these movements, we pray that God will continue to open up doors for us to touch and bless others.
Here in St. PatrickĄ¯s Church, God continues to speak and bless us through the faithful teaching on the important subject of worship each week end. I understand that many have been blessed by their Sunday experience of worship in St. PatrickĄ¯s. As God blesses His own children, He expects His children to bless others, especially those
in our wider communities. Last week I saw the launching of the fund raising for the
Sri Indah Anglican Vision School in this light. God has given an opportunity for
St. PatrickĄ¯s Church, after the great blessing we have received for so long,
to rise up and bless Tawau once more. It is time for us to plant another strong and good tree of education for the years to come. God has called us to partner with Him for another ministry beyond words. The challenge for us is: You will go on before
the Lord to prepare the way for Him. (Luke 1:76b).
Have a blessed week.
