Hi Church,
Greetings in the name of Jesus!
Hi! How are you doing? After 2 weekends away, I am finally back! It was a great trip for me as I was invited by Ps. Phil Pringle to speak at his church at Oxford Falls. That was truly a memorable experience for me as I got to minister in such a huge setting. Life-changing for me. :) Apart from that I also spoke at C3 Central City and prepared them for their 1st Arise and Build season. They bought a new place near Camperdown that can potentially contain 500 people! It is all very exciting. Church, let’s be a part of their journey and pray for Ps. Anthony and Melinda Shalala. Personally, it brings joy to my heart to see the kingdom of God growing and expanding.
It is very exciting on our home front as well. As of last week, we have finally taken the first step towards the construction of our new sanctuary by cleaning up and demolishing the existing warehouse. After much praying and planning, I am so glad to say that we managed to cut the cost down by a lot and build our new church way within our budget. It will take approximately 8 months to construct everything so please pray for the efficiency and safety of everyone involved. And next year, when we celebrate our 10th anniversary as a church, we will also dedicate our new church unto the LORD. Hence, with so much happening in the next 9 months, please pace yourself well. Make ample time to pray and be with God, hear His voice and know where He is placing you in His plans. Stay in step with the Holy Spirit and walk closely with Jesus. That way we shall continually touch and build lives around us as we build our lives in Him.
Last but not least, next weekend, all the staff, board members and leaders will be away for a 3-day retreat to prepare our church for a fresh new season. Please pray for us that we may have a fruitful time together. We need this to gear our church for what is ahead.
Love you guys and stay cool,
KEV

Dear family and friends,
Greetings from Down Under!
How are you keeping on? I pray that you are healthy and strong as you come back to church to worship God once again.
I have been here for about a week now and I have spent the last week preaching and speaking to the leaders at C3 Oxford Falls. It was a great honor for me as I get to speak at one of my spiritual mentors’ church. Just before I was about to go up to speak on Saturday night, I was so nervous I almost fainted! Ps. Chris kept encouraging me, telling me that she loved me and that I would do just fine. Phew! Well, I still can’t believe that I have done it. But for a younger minister like me, that was a dream come true. Thanks for praying for me. I truly needed that badly. Well, actually on Wednesday, I went back to Oxford Falls to share at their staff meeting. And you know what, they told me that Ps. Phil just landed and he would probably stay at home to rest. I was more relaxed when I heard that. But to my shock and my surprise, Ps. Phil was seated right in front when I got there. Double-pengsan! Hahaha. Anyway, I have done it now... :) This coming weekend, I will be speaking for Ps. John Lee, Ps. Anthony Shalala and also Ps. Andrew Gray. Church, I need your prayers. Please continue to intercede for me. Thanks ya.
And as I am writing this, I am thankful. Thankful for all that God has done for us individually and corporately. Thankful for all that God has done for our country Malaysia. As Malaysians, we have been blessed and church, I would like to inspire you to keep praying for the peace, unity and prosperity of our beloved country. Let’s not take anything for granted. Continue to pray for wisdom and strength for our Prime Minister and his Cabinet as he leads our country into the future.
Friends, let’s unite as we build our community, our nation.
Proud to be a Malaysian,
KEV

Dear family and friends,
Welcome back to church once again!
By the time you have this bulletin in your hand, I would have landed in Sydney, Australia. Personally, this is a massive week for me as I have been invited by Ps. Phil Pringle to speak at his churches. It is the first time I have been invited to speak at such an established church and that is truly an honor for me. As such, I covet your prayers and intercession. Am I nervous? You bet! I am nervous even speaking at our own services. Please pray that God’s anointing will come upon me and use me as his mouthpiece. Thanks guys!
And in about a week’s time, we will begin our construction work. Finally! WOO! HOO! I am sure all of us have been waiting for this for a long time. Me too! And now that the work will begin, please continue to pray for God’s wisdom to come upon us as we plan everything to the minute detail and stretch every dollar that God has given to us. The task ahead is huge and the burden is great too. Hence, once again I want to ask for your prayers. Please pray for this building project on a daily basis. We need God’s protection and covering every step of the way. On top of that, let’s believe God that our new church building can be completed by June next year to the glory of God! Amen!
The next 9 months are going to be extremely busy and demanding on us. However, let’s not lose sight on what’s important – LIVES!
I want encourage every one of us to continually touch and build lives from the INSIDE OUT. With that, we will live out our vision and purpose:
LOVING GOD WITH PASSION,
LOVING PEOPLE WITH COMPASSION.
Yours,
KEV

Welcome back to church once again!
It is just so good to have all of you here. I trust that you have had a blessed and wonderful week.
Do you know it is already September? In about 4 more months or 120 days, 2010 is going to come to an end. Have you done all that you wanted to do for the year? Most of them? Half? Have you written the letter that you have been wanting to write? Have you been more loving? More caring? Whether you have done it or not, I want to encourage you to keep pressing in. Take time to pray and do all that God has put within you. Do not be afraid to try. It is alright to fail and make mistakes. No one is perfect. You have your entire church family to support you. I am here to pray with you, amen?
I think the lack of conviction is one of the reasons why some people are rather inhibited in their approach towards life. When we do not know what we are passionate about or what we are willing to die for, it is hard to keep pressing on and be excited about things that we do in life. If we, as a church do not have the conviction that without Jesus, people will perish, we will not have a genuine compassion for the lost. We will not have the desire to go for missions or give to missions. On top of that, we will not be able to pray and intercede with fervency.
Without convictions, we live mediocre lives. Anything that can be potentially exhilarating, turns mundane. We lack motivation and the drive within to excel. I believe conviction is the basis of a colorful and purposeful life. It gives us the courage to do things that we never imagined that we would do. It creates momentum. It allows creativity to flourish. It silences all fears. It gives life a different edge.
Church, I want to encourage all of you to live life with convictions! Live it to the fullest! Live up to your God-given destiny!
