Love came down and everything changed!
Confidence from Relational Prayer I continue to add substance to the Year of God’s Love. Today I teach on God’s love and its relationship with prayer. Many are in stress, depressed, hurt, sad, in need of physical or emotional healing or in unending material needs. Underneath all these is a problem in the inner man – the spirit. Prov 18:14 (KJV) The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? Determination... [Read More...]
New Life China Mission Trip – 新生命中国兰州宣教之旅
As we landed in Beijing, the below freezing point spring temperature greeted us with a snow-covered airport. That explained why we had to sleep on the KLIA benches overnight, waiting for our China Airline plane that did not arrive. Upon arrival at our church in China, the love of God filled our hearts and everything about the trip changed. Love, Action, Power! Dawn prayer every weekday, Pastoral visits... [Read More...]

Her life was miserable: her relationships with others difficult; her ability to trust people greatly eroded. At the age of nine, without any religious background she felt she needed to be saved, whatever that she understood at her... [Read More...]
Balancing Love / 平衡的爱
Balancing Love (March 2010) Year of God’s love must be understood from the perspectives love is taught in the Bible. Love in the Bible is introduced to us at different levels. Friendship love This is a level that many need but also need to work at it. When we are superficial we can call everyone a friend. Not until you work with them, stay with them or partner with them. When we see weaknesses in one another, friendships can be a slippery thing. When... [Read More...]
LOVE, RELATIONSHIP AND FAVOUR 爱、关系和恩惠
In this Year of God’s Love, we build a strong love relationship with God so that we remain in first love with Him. No matter what is done, it is our love relationship with Him that counts.

THE LIVING CHRIST, THE LOVING JESUS
My dream for New Life Restoration Centre churches is not only as people who have accepted Jesus as Saviour but also committed to Jesus as followers loved by Jesus. How do you know someone loves you except that you know he was willing to die for you! That was how Jesus loved us. It was said, if you are the only one in this world, God would have still sent Jesus to die and save you from eternal separation from Him. The first response to love in a life-saving... [Read More...]
FUN in Year of God’s Possibilities
This is the Year of God’s Possibilities. It is a proclamation to focus our people in faith attitudes in the one true almighty God. God’s people have resources supernaturally.

Passing on the Baton of PJ (E) Church
Ordination of Ps Ron to take on our PJ English Church was an event. For the ensuing 3 years it was helping different ones adjust to change in leadership. Unsuspecting it, adjustments also crept in on me with increasing realities of the transition. Process I remember when my Pastor (Richard Holland) retired and handed over to Kevin Conner who subsequently handed over to Mark they shared about their passing on the baton. I must admit that it was too... [Read More...]
