GOD LOVES YOU!
The '100K Blessing' has become such a buzz that we are hearing of people who are actually upset that they haven't been approached to be prayed for.
Like the taxi driver who felt kind of left out because he had heard about the 100K from his fellow taxi drivers who have been blessed. "Kiasu" for a blessing! That's a good kind of spirit!
So how are you doing personally? Do you have a story to tell? Some of us just took off from the word 'Go!' but for some of us, it has not been so easy. Does this make one better than the other? Definitely not. God has given to us the spirit of sonship and not the spirit of slavery. The blessing is an act of love and not an obligation of service. God is sovereign. All He asks of us is to be available and willing to step out and He will do the rest.
Jesus had a most important life mission and call. He had a weighty destiny. Was He ever discouraged? Was He ever fearful? I believed humanly He had His moments. In fact it got to a point where He said, "If it be possible, Father, let this cup be taken away from me."
So what kept Him going? He clearly heard the Heavenly Father say, "You are my Son, I love you and I approve of you."
Go Warriors, in the light of this truth… that God loves you.

Thousand Linking Hands (Qian Qian Shou)
It was a joy for us to join the 2nd Shanghai Summer Camp this July. Qian Qian Shou started from a seed of an idea. Link the youths from China and Singapore together through friendship and the common vision of serving the less fortunate in the community; empower them through the use of magic as a tool and service learning as a framework; challenge their creativity and resourcefulness as they design and implement various community service projects at the end of the camp. And all this in a bilingual setting.
The 300 youths we saw this year gave us hope that we will see the Thousand Linking Hands in 2008, reaching out to bring a smile to those in need of one in China. It will be the climax of 3 years of "Linking Hearts, Linking Minds and Linking Hands", a special expression of FCBC’s vision of serving the nations. As many of the youths from the project have testified, they were the ones who were touched even as they came, with many different agendas and with perhaps a grandiose idea of volunteerism. The real magic, like they say, is LOVE.
Some wise man once said, "You can count the number of seeds in an apple, but you cannot count the number of apples in a seed."
Ps Eugene used this quote when he spoke at the closing ceremony of this year’s camp. We look forward to QQS in 2008 but the impact of this special project will go deeper and wider than what we can imagine. Although out of Singapore, it was great to know we can carry the spirit of the 100K blessing campaign to Shanghai.
How are you doing mid-course in the 100K?

Moving Out....Big Smile
Remember our codeword for this season of the I00K campaign?
Exciting testimonies are coming in as our warriors move out on the campaign trail. I hear of a number of you who are close to reaching the target of blessing 20! One young man has prayed for so many of his colleagues, word has gotten around and more are coming to him for prayer. What is common is to hear many share that they're doing something new for the first time in their life. Like plucking up enough courage to talk to a stranger or the person sitting next to you in the train, on the bus, in the foodcourt or in the queue. Many are blessing people they've never thought they'll get the chance to.
Just starting to think about others more than we think about ourselves is a good start. So many of us allow what we think we cannot do to dissuade us from doing what we can. We then end up doing..... nothing! You will remember what Ed Silvoso repeatedly said,
"If you want to see God do something new in your life, you've got to start doing what you've never done before. For if you continue to do what you've always done, then you will see what you've always seen."
Jia You ... Warriors!

“Transformers”
This is currently the hottest movie in town. Totally awed by the amazing computer animation and special effects. It’s the eternal battle of good against evil. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz and Ratchet take on Megatron. Ultimately, what triumphs is the power of sacrifice. In the famous words of Optimus Prime, “no sacrifice, no victory” Isn’t it so true that the blessings of God are often tied to the sacrifices we offer to Him?
“Transformers”. This is our buzzword and password during this 40 day Love Singapore season of prayer and this strategic 100K campaign of FCBC. We’re talking personal corporate and national transformation that will save our land. If we believe it, we will see it …. a season of divine visitation, incredible breakthroughs where warriors of God are released into the marketplace, spreading everywhere the fragrance and the aroma of the Lord, changing the spiritual climate through prayers and blessings that proclaim the glory of the Risen King of Kings. We are all Transformers of a different kind!
Let the first transformation begin! Romans 12:2 “Do not be conformed any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is -His good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Ed Silvoso puts it so well:
“If not you, then who?
If not now, then when?
Go forth and change the world! “
Let’s Be Transformers for Our Amazing God!

Trusting Each Other
When we grow in our trust in God, we will see a corresponding growth in our trust in people.
God meant us to live not just in relationship with Him, but in relationships with people.
Without trust, we cannot develop strong and healthy relationships with those who lead us and with those we lead.
How do we know if there’s trust?
If there’s trust, there will be transparency in relationships, a willingness to be open and real with each other. Accountability and submission flows freely and lovingly in an atmosphere of trust.
Trusting people empowers them. It brings out the best in them because it expresses your belief in them.
All of us want people to trust us and we want to be trusted. Unlike God whom we can trust wholeheartedly because of WHO HE IS, we must build trust in our relationships. And trust is built not just on CHARACTER but on COMPETENCE. Keeping commitments, delivering results, making effort to get better, all contribute to the trust account with our family and friends, our leaders, our cell members.
We want to encourage all of you, young warriors, to cultivate exemplary godly character and at the same time be diligent and competent at whatever task or assignments you are given to do. This is all part of God’s preparation for you as you pursue the journey of your dream.
