志工团感想

我参加了两次的志工团,
第一次是去北区
第二次是霹雳区及南区。

我的感想就是
每间教会都有各自不同的习惯
无论如何
我们在真理方面是统一的
就因此
无论去到哪一间教会
都很快的就打成一片
每一位信徒就好像是亲戚一样
甚至比亲戚更亲,都非常有爱心

让我非常感动的就是霹雳区的青年们
他们每逢星期六晚上都会从各地方教会集聚在巴占练唱诗班
之后还会一起出去吃夜宵
这种习惯我羡慕不已


在这两个旅程中
最大的收获就是各各教会的爱心
他们的爱心非常伟大
三个字“谢谢你”好像不够
真不知道该如何答谢
我们又给他们添了许多麻烦
又不知道该如何赔罪
领走前
就只能说一句很老套的话 “愿主纪念你们的爱心并祝福你们”


最后
我要特别感谢Dn.Isaiah Chang给我们的勉励
让我们满载而归
我们真的感激不尽
谢谢你~

D u r i a n ' s C h o i c e

After our adventure and victory over Mount Kinabalu, KK church had organized visitations to the many True Jesus Church in the state.

At a not-very-flashy-looking Ranau church,
whose membership was dominated by mostly orang asli/natives, had left me with a very extraordinary story. The Gombak TJC tour had all witnessed this miracle that lasted for many years.

A miracle that I childishly named as 'Durian's Choice', as the durian tree seemed to have chosen Jesus as its master.


In the past when the Ranau True Jesus Church was building, there was a small piece of land
on which a durian tree was planted. That piece of land was supposedly the church's possession,
but the Gentile neighbor insisted that it belonged to them. The Church gave in.
Through the years, the tree grew and branches dispersed.
Some branches reached the church compound across the fence.
And the tree bore fruits, but ONLY in the branches that reached the church compound!
NO FRUIT was yielded in the neighbor's territory.

this lasted many years till now, we witnessed the flowers blooming ONLY on the branches
in the church compound. None was found in other branches in the neighbor's land!

Praise the Lord. This simple miracle generated a huge deal of thanksgiving in us.
Pray so that human beings will give up their heart of stone and find peace in Christ our God. ^.^

Conquest on Mount Kinabalu and Success in Spiritual Life



I am most delighted to announce that the Gombak TrueJesusChurch climbing team had all, both young and old, reached the Low's Peak, the highest point of Mount KK, Sabah!

Throughout the tedious and perilous climb, I noticed the common characteristics shared between our proud Conquest and our personal Spiritual Life.
Like a mirror, I'd say.
The climb itself mirrors our journey of faith as a Christian.

Not hard to relate, really. Let me show you:

1. Prayer in all things = we prayed before, during and after our climb.
= we also prayed for each other as some were unwell
(Js 5:16)...and pray for each other so that you may be healed.
(2Thess 1:11) With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith.


2. Chocolate bars, energy food = Spiritual food in spiritual life
(1Cor 10: 3-4)They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

3. Water = springs of living water, Holy spirit
(Lk1:35) The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
4. Teamwork = spiritual companion
~ I assure you that any climber with meager climbing experience would have given up easily without a team to constantly encourage him.

(Eph2:21)Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work (Ecc 4:9)In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.
(Amos 3:3)Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?


Thus, provided that we all shared the same goal, we pushed each other towards it and conquered it hand in hand!

God said the gate to heaven is a narrow one, a perilous one.
Some gave up the climb and retreated = their faith has failed
But the one who endures to the end will be saved. (Mat 24:13)
Perseverance in trials (fatigue, fear, long distance, weather...)


See? the two stories are linked! It's a practical lesson to learn, then we can truly understand how hard a life Paul had lived before he finally sang the song of victory!
(Jude 1:20)But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.
