CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR IN BRISBANE

CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS IN BRISBANE

It was great celebrating Christmas with my Hope Brisbane family. We had a great Christmas service at church called “A Christmas Experience” (see photos). Guess what? We had the privilege to witness a student accept Christ in the Everyday Evangelism Class on Sunday afternoon.

Fatima from Ablaze Youth Group brought her friend to the EE class and we shared the gospel with him and he accepted Christ. Thank God for a wonderful Christmas present!

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. Roman 10:17

MY FAMILY IN BRISBANE…

I really thank God for Pastor Wilson, Pastor Lai Ling, Pastor Wenan, Pastor Lance, leaders and friends in Hope Brisbane. They have all been such a great inspiration for me to love and serve God with all my heart. It is wonderful to have a family to share life and serve God together.

I have been spurred on to achieve great things for God through the constant encouragement and support from Hope Brisbane family.

I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. John 17:23

FULFILLING GOD'S CALLING

Looking back, I really believe God was leading me to Hope Brisbane in 2000. It was difficult leaving my family and Christian friends in Adelaide to a new place. Life was comfortable at home. I didn’t have to do much living with my parents. They did everything for me! They cooked and even washed my clothes! Yes, you can say I was spoiled!

My father and Mother tried very hard to persuade me stay in Adelaide. But I sense a strong calling from God to move to Brisbane and I didn’t fully understand why.

STEPPING OUT IN FAITH….

Have you ever experienced a similar situation? God asked you to do something or go somewhere but you don’t fully understand all the reasons. You begin to have internal struggles or battles within your heart. I fully understand what you are going through.

I want to encourage you to step out like Abraham and do something that is extraordinary for God. We only have one life to make a difference....

The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” So Abram left, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Haran. Genesis 12:1-4

LIVING FOR HIS GLORY….

God really blessed Abraham for his obedience. Abraham became the father of many nations. I can really testify the blessing of God since coming to Brisbane. When I arrived in Brisbane, the church leadership encouraged me to start E-Club Ministry.

Now, I am travelling to different parts of the world preaching and training people in evangelism. Wow! God is good! I could not imagine myself doing something like this before. God has wonderful plans of all His children!

However, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” 1 Cor 2:9

Let us live for the glory of God in 2007 by obeying His call and fulfil the Great Commission.

As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. John 17:18
