Sunday, October 7th

David City is a place where we meet and praise the Lord. By the time it is Saturday, we have met or visited almost everyone in the church. Every brothers and sisters are now familiar faces. Wherever we go, we feel the Lord walking among us. When we sat together, Jesus sat with us, sang with us, laugh with us and cried with us.

If we say we want to bring changes to David, we are most certainly wrong. This place is slowly changing us, the Holy Spirit wispering so quietly yet clearly. We must move forward and bring people together, in His name.

Tonight we were lead by the Holy Spirit to visit a long lost brother from the church. It started with a casual conversation, and soon turned into a burden we could not refuse. Two of us took off and visited this long lost brother of ours.

We took off after a short prayer. We weren´t sure where his restaurant is, and so we walked and chat along the way. We knew the Holy Spirit would guide us, and one of us soon found our way.

We went in, with Him in our Heart, knowing that we bring the good news once again to this good friend and his family of ours. We sat down, and started our heart-felt sharing.

Mission accomplished. We walked out of the restaurant with fresh baked buns (bo lor bau) in our hands. One of us felt refreshed, his burden lifted. The other felt encouraged, knowing well that the Spirit is with us.

This is our story, this is our song. Praising our Saviour, all the day long.

*****************************

We had a fabulous Sunday worship this morning. It must have been the Holy Spirit, because we felt the presence so gentle yet strongly. Our team has reached a unity in Christ. We bring to the Brothers and Sisters in the City of David our very best, and yes, the Holy Spirit is working in our hearts, too.

For each of us, there is a lesson to learn. Each of us know that there are ways to improve, each of us know that there are things that we did or did not do well. But those aren´t important, because yes, each of us has a lesson to learn. If we boost the work done in our own hand, what prize does it bring us?

It´s all about attitude. The attitude of a servant. I praise the Lord that we are aware of it. So now we are living it out. For those of us who are feeling sad, we ask the Lord to comfort and shelter us. For those of us who are feeling satisfied, we ask the Lord to humble ourselves and make better use. Nevertheless, we all have mixed feelings at the moment. But we most definitely are staying strong as a team.

It´s not easy. That´s why this piece of sharing is hardly coherent. We ask for your understanding, but more importantly we ask for your support and caring. It is our privilege and responsibility to grow and learn during this crucial time.
