Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see. -- C.S. Lewis

Amos has just returned from a week-long training of new leaders in Incheon, SKorea. He is part of a regional team overseeing a 2-year Emerging Leader Initiative (ELI) program that seeks to train and equip staff representatives from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Mongolia and Pakistan that have been ear-marked for the next rung of leadership. -- Amos & Karen's Update Nov 2009 – Feb 2010 (PDF, 222kB)

If we have got great stories but no one heard it, the story might remain in or fade away with us slowly; if we have got good news but only we heard it, the gospel would only BE TRUE within the community. -- Manson Koh's Octaves (PDF, 2.3MB)

MK2MK was a great success, too. 6 staff from various backgrounds came to lead the children program. ALL the children loves them from the beginning! And, they learnt much from the program and from their lives. (We’ll get our girls to share more in our coming prayer letter...-- Weng Kong & Jaine's Praying with us (PDF, 332kB) | homepage

Booking of venues, caterers, choosing wedding theme, flowers, bridal packages, helpers, renovation and choosing furniture for our new nest... WOW! Marriage is A BIG THING! We are into 2 months of our wedding preparation,... -- Lindy Teo's Excerpts from Lindy's Ministry, Issue #11 (PDF, 0.4MB)

I woke up at 4:45am that morning, tired and exhausted. My mom joined me. Weather reports said that it was the coldest winter morning thus far. It was definitely below 5°C. Stepping out into the cold made me think about how those people felt when they have to wake up every day feeling the cold. We had to go that early because they will be shooed out of the station before 7am when the intense morning crowd starts. -- Weng Kong & Jaine's Little Missionaries (PDF, 1.3MB) | homepage

We are grateful that our family was able to make a road trip to Kyushu for our family getaway over the year-end period! We took off immediately the morning after we hosted an annual Christmas Party (Dec 25) for our Staff Family at our house. It was the longest car ride we have ever made (more than 1000km one way! & we drove more than a total of 3000km!) -- Patrick & Estella's Special greetings to our fellow Chinese friends | homepage

I started getting a devotional email from Dayspring.com at the beginning of the year. I liked and was inspired by what and how Holley Garth wrote, and looked forward to reading the blog. There was a turning point on 21 Jan 2010's post, titled "How are you really?",... -- Lay Kuan's New Year, New Blogs | blog

One thing I have learnt and am still learning in relation to people is to let go of expectations and to love unconditionally; He has given me the freedom to love. In that, God has also taught me to love myself more and see myself as how He sees me. -- Kerin Goh's He is faithful (PDF, 2.6MB)

I was reminded there of my need to hunger more for God all over again, far beyond fruitfulness. In the words of one of the pastors who spoke about Mary and Martha, "Ministering to the Lord is good, but being ministered to by the Lord is better." -- Eeleen Lin's Life change (PDF, 1.5MB)

It has been a good five and a half years in ministry, and I find myself now at this crossroads in my life. Looking back at the road travelled, and ahead to what lies in the future. I have no regrets about the decision I made that June day in 2004 - in fact there is an abundance of things to be thankful for, too much to say in a letter like this. -- Dorothea Chow's Crossroads (PDF, 0.2MB) | blog

As they hosted us and shared with us about the ministry God has called them to, a similar request was echoed among them, "Please! Continue praying for India." So as you read this, and if God is moving your heart, consider being part of their ministry by praying for them. -- Evon Yee's New Year, New Chapter (PDF, 0.9MB)

It was freezing cold (it was minus 3 degrees C), and I felt really homesick when I arrived. But the love of the staff (one gal bought me stockings), and their instant acceptance of my teaching warmed my heart. Meanwhile Roland has been busy preparing for new class, and Julienne started work as a designer. -- Roland & Ying Kheng's Deep in December, Jumping into January (PDF, 0.6MB) | blog

Children on the streets, in villages, in schools, read the gospel tracts immediately as they received it from us. God touched my heart deeply to see the spiritual hunger in Northeast Thailand and the great need for discipleship there. -- Shu Shyan's A Call to Remember (PDF, 0.5MB)

I learnt how to wait patiently and "cease striving, and know that He is God", and was challenged to trust Him as He revealed the plan for the last day. It was also encouraging and humbling to see the students responding well. Though this was a group that I was somewhat familiar with, I was a bundle of nerves throughout! -- Desmond & Lindy's Blessed New Year (PDF, 0.8MB)

"In quietness and trust is your strength" Isaiah 30:15b (NASB). There certainly is much this year that will require me to trust God for as I learn to grow without wrestling, but with quietness of heart. Our house hunt is still ongoing as I write this and the need for our home feels more urgent with the arrival of our baby boy in April. Please continue to pray for us! -- Haiks & Clydia's Work in POH~gress (PDF, 0.9MB)

Three of us went to Beijing in mid-December to learn how to use and teach this material as well as make on-site observations. We have heard testimonies as to the overwhelming resulting benefits. We believe the Lord is leading us to adapt this material for Singapore youths and hope that that this will be both a blessing to the education community as well as a means to open doors for ministry contacts. -- Amy's News Jan 2010 (PDF, 0.2MB)

"Do I not love myself? Do I not care about my needs more than I care about others’?” It is true we often struggle with self-centeredness. However, many of us also struggle with loving and accepting ourselves in what we cannot do well. When we cannot love and accept ourselves, we are hindered from being truly satisfied in God and having a spirit of thankfulness to Him in all circumstances. -- Ivan & Chin Ai's The Spirit of Thanksgiving (PDF, 0.3MB)

I was one of the blessed ones who received the timely gift. How could I be more grateful than this—someone had to lose his precious child in order to give me life. Through it, I have a deeper appreciation of God’s ineffable love for me. -- Moses & Charissa's "I am forever grateful..." (PDF, 1.5MB)

The vacant, staring eyes of child beggars pierced our hearts. To give or not to give was a regular struggle for us. There was an air of hopelessness in their stance; many of them have resigned themselves to whatever fate or 'karma' throws at them, and live their days on the streets. The contrast with the staff we interacted with was very telling. -- Dorothea Chow's Two Cities and Blessed Twenty Ten! (PDF, 0.7MB) | blog

She kept saying Ariel was so lucky to have received her liver under the circumstances. I think she must have said the word lucky a good five to six times during a particular take. As an unbeliever, she had no other language for the miraculous deliverance of Ariel by our Lord. But I knew her account would glorify His Name precisely because she recogonized that this case was different from the rest. -- Andrew Yu's Thru the Lens (PDF, 0.6MB) | blog
