Sem 2 Week 6: Matter maters

Hello dear brothers and sisters!

This week in CF...

*JENG JENG JENG*

We'll have someone to share with us on "Money Matters", the Christian perspective!

Sounds boring? (I can hear you yawn!Haha) Well, I know it's not your typical "God loves you" topic but we've gotta agree that money is undeniably a need to survive in this world. And sometimes we place too much/too little importance in money issues. 

Too much; putting money before God. Too little; don't bother planning/budgeting finances
 

Hence, in tomorrow's fellowship, we get to learn how to use/plan our money wisely. 

WHY PLAN?

The plans of the diligent lead to profit, as surely as haste leads to poverty. Proverbs 21:5 (NIV)

See you there! *WINK*

In Christ,

Paintball Event

Hellooooooo! 

So we had our first paintball outing last weekend and guess how'd it turned out?

All in all, we had a great time shooting and getting shot! *laughs* It's really awesome to discuss strategies, battling in the "war zone" and later feast on Bak Kut Teh together! These are the messages/feedbacks from the participants after the game: 

Before the game, she said this:-
" I do not know what was I thinking when I registered for this..."

Had a great first paintball experience! Amelia

Thanks for the paintball outing :-) The pain is starting to show now haha. But yah, it was nice! Joshua

Regret you didn't join us? Don't be! MMU CF committees will organize more AWESOME events for us to bond as a big family :)

Faith in Action

MMU Christian Society had planned to have its AGM on 25 June 2013 (Tuesday) and we also planned that right after AGM, we would bring the juniors and newcomers to have an "Alpha Tour" in putrajaya at night. This plan was decided by the committee long time ago but little did we expect that there would be a haze hitting Malaysia so badly...

When I woke up on 23 June 2013 (Sunday morning) to church, the haze was really bad here in Cyberjaya. And the haze didnt go away. We had been praying for the haze to be cleared so that the Putrajaya tour would not need to be canceled. On Sunday night, Benjamin said that he would fast and pray on Monday, and the rest of us could join him if we wanted. So I joined him.

However, the haze condition on Monday appeared to be worse than Sunday's. It didnt get any better even until at night. Some of us went to Putrajaya at night to check out the haze condition in Putrajaya, and found that it was bad, although not as bad as in Cyberjaya. And also on that Monday night, I had to make a decision on whether to continue with the touring plan or to call it off. So I decided to carry on with the plan. I really didnt want to cancel or postpone the tour. There was more pressure as one of the members was very concerned about our Putrajaya tour despite the high API reading.

My mum called me on Monday night too, and I told her about this Putrajaya tour that CF was planning to carry out. I told her that I was fasting and praying. That time my roommate, a non-believer, was in the room, so she overheard my conversation and knew the reason why I refused to have lunch that afternoon. Having the fasting being known by my roommate, I asked God to please show His power the next day.

On Tuesday (25th June 2013) morning, I woke up to check the API, and then also texted Navin to ask about Putrajaya's haze condition. What I got was the API increased, and on the other hand, Navin told me that the condition was better than that of monday evening. So I was thinking to myself whether to trust the API or to trust our prayers. There was more pressure when the member reminded me of the increased API and reckoning to call it off. If God showed up, then it would be good; If God didnt, I would be deemed stubborn to risk the health of the CF members. I then particularly looked up for the verse in Hebrews 11:1 that says "Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see." So I replied the member, saying I was still waiting for God. I didnt want to doubt everyone's prayers. Our CF advisor, Ji Jian replied saying that there was a forecast that the rain would come at 4 in the evening.

At 3 something in the afternoon, my stomach was hungry and calling for food. I sent out a tweet saying "Can the sky rumble like my stomach does?". And right after that, the sky rumbled!!! I was like "God! Is this a sign/answer to my question and prayers?" and tears welled up in my eyes for a short while. But it didnt rain at 4pm. I moved to another venue for another class, and the haze was still very bad. I was really desperate for God's answer. When my class ended at 5pm, I went online to check on the haze updates and found out that certain places in the Klang Valley had already started raining. In Cyberjaya, there were just strong winds that didnt really blow the haze away. My friends all left and went home but I remained in the class. Then someone who walked pass the door said "yay dah hujan". I turned and walked out of the room. Staring outside, I saw raindrops and was touched and overwhelmed by God's timing. That was 5.44pm. :')

And while the rain was pouring, I was facebook chatting with a senior who graduated from MMU. I shared with him about how God answered prayers and sent the rain. It was really exciting to share this testimony, although he was a non-believer. He then showed to me a verse posted by his brother (His brother is a Christian), andwow, it was Heb11:1! So I told him, "I think this verse is meant for you to come across. I didnt know we would chat today(as in I didnt know that he would find me chat). Didnt know that I would even share this testimony with you." Everything was unplanned, but God orchestrated it so amazingly. This senior, once in a while when I remember him, I will pray for his salvation. And thank God for that one opportunity to share the testimony to him. Who knows what impact it could bring?

The rain stopped before AGM. So AGM and the Putrajaya tour went smoothly. We went with 14 cars, and had the longest mamak table ever! :D All glory to God who has made things possible. I sometimes think that God loves me so much that He supported my decision to carry on with the Putrajaya Alpha Tour. When I came back from Putrajaya that Tuesday night, my roommate told me when it rained at 5 something in the evening, she wanted to tell me that my fasting works. She even asked me to fast for her next time if there's any need. Although her understanding of the idea of fasting isnt right, it somehow shows how real our God is, and I am happy for this truth being shown. I sometimes pray for her salvation, and I believe that through these small experiences, seeds will be sown. 

Here's a picture of our fellowship+supper at mamak. Once again, all glory to God! =)

P.S. Few days later I came across this:

James 1: 2-8

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom. he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault. and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

Be blessed and encouraged,

Week 6: One Love

Hey people! Hope you guys are doing good!

This week in CF, we'll be talking about UNITY!
