Isaiah 43:19
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.

THIS is the generation that God is raising to be world changers, bondage breakers, proclaimers of the truth. Do you hear the sound of the rising of this generation? Can you see His light rising from within us in the midst of the darkness that we live in? Passionate for souls, hungry for the Word, thirsty for the rain of the Holy Spirit, a yearning for the works of God, in us and through us. Can you feel it rising?

In these days and times, how is God moving? What is God wanting for us as believers to do? How do we as Calvary Youth EMERGE and stand out, to Impact Our Generation for Christ?

What’s worth breaking?

 

There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part o the country.

” Is there anything breakable in here? ” asked the postal clerk.

” Only the Ten Commandments, ” answered the lady.

 

Fig Leaf Found

 

A little boy opened the large old family Bible, and he looked with fascination at the ancient pages as he turnrd them one by one.

He was still in Genesis when something fell out of the Bible.He picked it up and looked at it closely. It was a very large old tree leaf that had been pressed between the pages of the Bible long ago. ” Momma, look what I found!” the boy called out.

” What do you have there? ” his mother asked.

With antonishment in his voice, the young boy answered, ” I think it’s Adam’s underwear! “

 

God bless you,guys! (:  Have a great week!

TESTIMONY!

Testimony

Testimonies!!!

It’s great to see testimonies coming in! *huge grin*

And I’m awfully PROUD of y’all for doing what you do.. putting in effort and such, to make a difference in someone else’s life, making someone else’s day just a bit brighter, spreading the warmth and the light of Christ..

I picked up a bluetooth headset at IKEA the other day, and it sure was a cool little guy.. But yeah, I turned it in to the IKEA staff that happened to be with me.. lol!! But then again, that’s nothing much to shout about, but I sure hope the person who lost it got it back, cos it hurts to lose little techy stuff like that.. trust me.. I know ;(

Mission: Impact hasn’t ended yet though it is now August.. haha.. you will still be getting ur ARKs this Saturday.. and this will go on through to September..

Join us for Imago Dei this whole month, as we look at how we both girls and guys are made in the image of God.. We’ll be looking at Biblical role models this weekend, and let’s see how they teach us to be men and women of God.. Strong in the Spirit, full of the Word.. mighty mighty people of God..

In the meantime.. keep ’em testimonies rolling in y’all!! 😉

Love,

Tab..

What’s Up PEOPLE!!

Yo!! Whaddup y’all!! =)

So how many of y’all managed to get ur ARK done?? And how many times did y’all actually do it?? haha 🙂 I didn’t get to pick up rubbish in my neighbourhood, but I helped clear the table at IKEA‘s little cafe where they sell curry puffs, and apparently now, Siew Pau! 😉 haha, according to internal sources, the Siew Paus are pretty good as well..

So, y’all remembered the story of the widow of Zarepheth whose oil and flour NEVER ran out during the course of the famine? Ain’t that something? 🙂 I would be awesomely glad if my supply of errm.. sausages never ran out.. lol!! I’m such a sucker for sausages, sighh.. But, ya know, the story does more than just show us that God works crazy awesome miracles.. It show us OBEDIENCE to the Word of God..

What is the most important commandment next to loving God with all ur heart, mind and strength? First person who replies this in the comment box gets something on Saturday from me.. So, if u do answer this, and write ur name there as well.. Look out for me on Saturday 😉 haha..

God loves people, don’t He? Everybody nod with me.. Yes He does.. If not, He wouldn’t have sent Jesus to die for us, would He? So, if we love Him, we ought to love ppl as well.. And loving them, means treating them with RESPECT, just as u would treat urself.. It doesn’t just mean doing really nice things for ppl just because it’s MI month.. But, it means not being rude to ppl, not being mean and unkind to ppl as well.. Take lying to someone for example.. When u lie to somebody, it means, u don’t think they deserve to be treated as a person when u don’t tell someone the truth, they are not worthy of the truth, and that’s not at all respectful to them..

Anyhow, yeah, that was thrown in for FREE *grins* haha..

This Saturday, we’re gonna be talking about living Lives of Quality, having the Resistance of Steel.. It’s gonna be an interesting lesson, come with ur hearts opened to hear what God wants to say through the life of Daniel.. He is one AMAZING dude..

If u’ve not gotten ur Mission: Impossible Impact Survival Kits yet, we will be making them available to u this Saturday as well at a discounted rate of RM3.50 only.. This will last u 3 months, and the little journal, please use it to stick ur little ARK slips on, so u will remember to do them.. Or, u know do something bigger than what we have thought of, anything ya know 🙂

So, I gotta go for now.. I’ll see y’all Friday or Saturday! 🙂

Much love,
Tab 🙂

Just THe Good Samaritan really did not have much business with the man that God robbed
Out of compassion… He stopped bandaged the wounds of the man who fell into the hands of robbers
The Good Samaritan out of his own pocket..
out of HIS Heart’s COMPASSION …
was KIND to the man who fell into the hands of robbers

(reference Luke 10 30-36)

The call is yours…

Just a thought..

Click me!

This video is taken from Hillsong’s I Heart Revolution movement as a promo for their DVD, We’re All In This Together. But, I decided to use this because of the powerful truth behind the promo.

We see this imbalance and we amen, “it’s not right, it’s not fair.” But all too often, that’s all we do, because for us to do any more, it’s actually gonna cost us something. and if there’s where it ends, perhaps then, it’s fair to say that when we ignore the prostituted child, that we actually lend our hand to their abuse. That when we ignore the widow and the orphan in their distress, that we actually add to their pain. when we ignore their slave that remains captive, that it’s us who is entrapping them. That when we forget the refugee, that it’s us who’s displacing them. That when we choose not to help the poor and the needy, that we actually rob them.

(My favourite bits from the video)

We know that God created us equal, that we were made in the image of Him. We know that we’re all sinners, cleansed by the blood of the Lamb, rescued from death to eternal life. We know that Christ has died for all, that He loves each individual that He was willing to give up His life for us. Allow me to put Joel Houston’s words into perspective.

It’s all too real!

If you could pause, take a time off your busy life, to think about a person like you. Your age, your gender, who looks a little like you, but who does not have a computer like you have-who is now so hungry because that person who is like you has not eaten for days. While you grumble about that horrible broccoli and that it’s always rice everyday, that other person who looks a little like you begs everyday for a spoon of that rice. Now, think of that person again, and look at his clothes. Look at yours. When it’s hot, you turn on the air-cond, when it’s cold, you cover yourself with a blanket. He? He shivers when he is cold, and is left to suffer when it’s hot.

Often than not, we ask the question, why go for missions and evangelism? My answer is if you cannot imagine the illustration above, go look for the real stuff. Search through Google Images, Youtube and you will find the reality of life.

If only we could see.

Our problem is that we are too apathetic. We can just walk pass a man who cannot walk in the Pasar Malam and give him nothing, while we consume all the goodness that the stores can offer. Just as how Joel said, who are we to judge what the beggars do with the money we give them as if we’re any better?

We don’t see the lives of people suffering just to earn a living. If only we could open our eyes, and see the people who struggle to earn a living, the roadside cleaner, the house guard, the garbage collector. I mean, who are we to judge them and say “They should’ve gotten an education.”. Sometimes, that’s not the case. I know a guard at my condominium who had to move here to work simply because if he did not, he would have been killed by armies back home. This guard sometimes works 24 hours straight just to get overtime pay. This is one instance out of the millions of people who struggle to just eat and live right HERE in this country. And here we are complaining that we are tired from school or colleges. If only we can imagine working for a straight 24 hours.

If only we could see the lives of those who are left to rot, abandoned by family members and friends. This is real rejection! They are left with NO money, NO possessions and NO homes. They are very present in Kuala Lumpur, even in the city centre. Can we imagine spending the rest of our retiring lives, doing nothing, with no mission, no goal in life, but just to aim for death?

If only we could see..

Help?!

Do we have help? Of course we do! Thanks be to Christ Jesus who is ready to forgive us for our apathy! Thanks be to Christ Jesus who will empower us to fulfill the Great Commission.

One thing I’ve realized over the past few weeks is that God doesn’t just call each individual for missions and stop there, He directs and He shows His divine plan and mission field for each of us. For some, it might be to save an entire classroom, bless an entire school, to empower and lead a Christian Fellowship or our youth group to reach out, to serve the hungry and homeless in the urban cities. For some, it may be to really go the distance to hard-to-reach places like the interiors of nations, in the jungles, for some it’s to educate the forgotten, for some it’s really to go to nations that reject the Word of God and penetrate God’s Love into the peoples of that nation.

Pray this prayer if want to start and go forth to fulfill the Great Commission.

Dear Lord,

I’m sorry for taking missions lightly before. Please forgive me and cleanse me with the Blood of the Lamb. Ignite this fire in me to reach out to those whom You want me to reach. Reveal them to me, open windows of opportunity and empower me, Lord with Your Spirit. Teach me, guide me and give me courage as I bow and obey Your commands.

IN JESUS’ NAME I PRAY, AMEN.

But are we confined?

I believe the Great Commission was a COMMAND, not a suggestion. And, it was for us to reach ALL of humanity and not just those who are suffering physically. We need to see how localized missions is. It’s not JUST to travel to Africa or any third world countries but there’s a deep hunger and longing for people in our nation for a Saviour and for Truth. That’s why we came up with last month’s theme, Illusions, to show what people believe and how can we show them the Truth.

There are plenty who are in our very schools, colleges and workplaces that need a Saviour. They need a source of hope, life and love. They could be your friend that you sit with in school who has never heard of Jesus. They could be that “geeky” guy that nobody sits with. They could be that person in school who seems so confident, but is in deep desire for a deeper relationship with a Father. They are those who suffer emotionally and spiritually, and they need to be IMPACTED

What can I do?

There’s really a lot you can do, but I’ll just give you small examples.

Smile! MEET AND GREET!

When you open up, you can really see that people will open up to you. They will be open to share their problems, even total strangers, or bits and pieces of their life story. You can start to share your experiences, and how God has impacted your life. You don’t have to rush to convert them, or even to share the gospel. Another thing I’ve learnt recently, is that people are more likely to be opened to experiential truths than your knowledge about the Bible and theology. Give them a tract(in the MI kit!), a hug, a prayer or even just a listening ear. If they are open, of course, share the Gospel and let them see how Jesus has died and rose again for our iniquities and that He is the true source of Love, grace and life. If not, DO NOT FRET! The seed has been sown.

If you remember Sister Rosmarie Kowalski’s testimony of this girl she met in Changi Airport, you’ll see how important is the sowing of the seed. This girl she met actually had a Bible that was given to her by someone who shared a little with her for 5 years and she has never given much thought about it. But when Sis. Rosmarie talked to her about God, the girl remembered the seed that that person has sown. After talking to Sis. Rosmarie she was interested in the Bible and she opened it. Who knows? God might be speaking to her right now.

The important thing is to gather courage from God and just do what you can at God’s timing.

Give

If possible give something to the beggars or those in need. If you aren’t comfortable with giving cold hard cash, give them food. Buy them a bar of chocolate, simple things that mean luxury to them. Share and pray with them if possible.

Age is not a factor! No matter how young or old you are, we are ALL in a long journey to fulfill the Great Commission. I, myself am learning to be more opened to people and to be more courageous to give without thinking of what will be of my money. God will transform each of us for His glory!

I know this is quite a long post, but I hope you will give it some thought. Take this opportunity this month. Mission: Impact is designed for you to really impact your generation. Each week, we are fashioning different activities for you to get involved-activities for you to be creative in coming up with things to do. We urge you to come every week to see what God has to offer.

Take bold steps to bring about a revolution in our generation. Do your part and see God bring revival to this nation!

Mission: Tuesday Update

Hey there! MI Kakis 🙂

How’s the week going? It’s Tuesday!! Have y’all been doing the really Easy Peasy mission this week?

Building a bridge with strangers and such, or just generally being polite, being the first to say “Hi Uncle, or Aunty!”, greeting ppl with a SMILE.. It really isn’t that hard, and don’t think it doesn’t make a difference.. By just doing that, u may actually make someone’s day out there ya know? It is little things like that that we don’t pay much attention to, but, they really do make a difference.. So, be on a mission to Smile and someone and greet them!!

On a personal note, I met someone at a pet shop and just started talking to her, and guess what, I think I may have found a prospective buyer for one of Ruth and Rachel’s new puppies *grins* haha.. it’s not something I do in the ordinary, but I made up my mind to be nice and as helpful as possible.. so yeah, it was actually quite pleasant chatting with a stranger..

Anyhow, remember that we’ll be getting the official MI Survival Kit this Saturday.. So, looking at the items in the kit, think about what creative ways u can use the kit to IMPACT someone’s life..

The items are:
MI Journal
Garbage Bag
Candy
Tract
Case

Another suggestion that would be great is, if u’d like to, u can set aside a small amount of $$ every week, and put it inside the Survival Kit, and that could be for buying someone lunch, or something..

Note: This is just a suggestion and not an exact representation.

And remember, tell us ur stories, and as we embark on this journey, let us encourage each other, and spur one another towards good deeds..

So, till the next post..

Ciao!
