Dear Church,
Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!
Welcome back to church once again! It is so good to see all of you here. I hope you have enjoyed the little treat that we have provided for you. Now that we have reduced our weekend to only 2 services, I hope we can spend more time to hang out with each other and fellowship. On top of that, I also want all of us to take this opportunity to pray and minister to one another. I am sure this will be something that all of us will benefit from as we continue to grow our church from the inside out.
On another note, I would like to highlight to all of us that we have reached the last weekend of November! 2010 is coming to an end! What a year it has been! So much has happened... well, be it good or bad, I feel we should still give thanks to God for all that He has blessed us with. As a church, I want all of us to learn to be thankful. Be thankful for all that God has given to us and be grateful for His work on the cross! I believe this is one of the keys to release God’s breakthroughs over our lives.
A lot of people are struggling today because they fail to see the importance of this. Focusing on ourselves all the time is not going to help. That is why Jesus exhorts us to love God with all our heart and love our neighbor as ourselves. Our world begins to change the moment we begin to view and appreciate others more than ourselves. Church, let us grow to become a people-focused church. Let’s do all we can to make our world a better place to be. I am sure this is what Jesus wants us to do – to be his channel of blessings and agent of restoration.
As we still have one more month to go before 2010 comes to an end, let’s live this month to the fullest and shine for Jesus!
I am believing God with you that better days are still ahead of us.
Amen!
KEV

Dear Church,
Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!
First and foremost, on behalf of all the Board members, I would like to thank everyone who has and will be pledging to the 5th Arise and Build from the bottom of my heart. It is through your spiritual support and financial generosity all these years that allow us to do what we are doing today. Our ministries did not just cope or survive. We thrive because of your unceasing love towards God and the house of God. For that, I want to thank you once again.
In the next couple of months, we will be busy designing and finalizing the drawing of our new building. After that, we will need to submit the drawing to our local authorities one more time for approval. All these may take a lot of time, effort and perseverance, thus I would like to ask all of us to pray and intercede on a regular basis.
Gather with your family and friends to pray, as we commit this whole project into the hands of God. Let’s also pray for God to send His angels to build a hedge of protection around our church and all of us. This is not an easy task. The devil is not going to cheer us on. It is going to be challenging at times. But I believe that as long as we stay together as one, we will build what He wants us to build.
Church, as we grow larger in size and older in age, let us not lose our first love and fervor for Jesus. We need to continually remind ourselves that we are doing all these because we seek to seek His Kingdom first. Our desire is to see God’s desires accomplished. Along the way, we will be blessed. And when that day comes, let us not forget that it is God who gives us the power to gain wealth - causing us to be a blessing to others.
And for that, there is a reason for us to Arise and Build!
Building with you,
KEV

Dear Church,
Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!
WOW! What a weekend we have had with Ps. Phil Pringle! I am sure all of you have been greatly blessed by his ministry. Let us learn to keep the Word of God in our hearts and allow a new measure of faith to grow within us. Amen!
And yes, this weekend is our Pledge Weekend for our 5th Arise and Build. This is probably one of the most exciting seasons in the calendar of our church. For the past 9 years, we have been giving to God without fail. Some of you, at different times had sacrificed a lot to see this vision come to pass. As your pastor and friend, I want to thank you for your love and commitment towards the house of God. It is my honor to have a family like you to do this together. The journey has been exciting. All of us have had our fair share of challenges. But I believe God will see us through. Amen!
This is our 5th Arise and Build and that means we are getting closer and closer to realizing God’s vision. By the end of this year, we will begin the 2nd phase of the project which is the construction of the main hall. It is going to take about 6-8 months to do that and I pray we can wrap everything up by June 2011.
As a church, let’s continually pray for God’s wisdom, provision and protection. Pray for all the leaders as they have to make important decisions. Pray for God’s provision for us so that we will have the resources to complete the work that God has asked us to do and finally pray for the safety of all the workers and the spirit of unity among us. This is an important task. But above all, this is also a spiritual task. Therefore, as we pledge and give, let us not lose sight of the fact that God is still at the center of it all. Our giving is a part of our worship and our focus is Jesus.
May His Kingdom come, His Will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
