Mandarin Camp At Sentosa
I was at the Mandarin Camp on Saturday and Sunday evenings. It was an awesome time.
On the first night, Pastor Kung Ching and her team (from Hope Kuching) ministered prophetically mostly to the leadership team of the Mandarin group. All of them were visibly encouraged and strengthened by words of encouragement and reminder. I went around noting the words given so that I would help in any way for the team to be further built up.
Pastor Kung Ching also encouraged the whole congregation to rally around James (our Mandarin pastor) to fulfill God’s plan for the church. On the second morning, many broken and strained relationship were mended during the time of response.
Claudia and I really enjoyed spending time with our Mandarin church people. There is always such a strong spirit of family bond and diversity in the group. It really personifies the concept of the church being a body and how it grows from strength to strength as each part does its work.
Here are some photos that I would like to share with all of you...
We have the young aunties (it’s a great place to bring our parents to)
Then the younger adults
And then the youngest children
Me, James, Connie and Claudia
Me and my dad-in-law
Andrew & Sau Hoi
James praying for David on his birthday
People being amazed that I can write in Chinese!
I really pray and hope that we can all connect our Mandarin speaking parents, relatives and friends to our growing Mandarin group. This is a gift that God has given to our church for that purpose. May our mandarin church continue to prosper!

yes.. Mag's parents received Christ with the Mandarin church.....
I also brought my grandmother to one of the weekday events before (It was a screening of a Mandarin video based on a true story about a man who was in desperate straits & about to commit suicide but God spoke to him... a video acted in by HongKong Christian actors & actresses such as Chen SongLing). It touched my relatives very much as it reminded them of one of our relatives who was facing desperate times at that time... plus the big names of Chen SongLing attracted them to come..... Hope to see more of such events in the Hope bulletin for English-speaking congregation who can invite Mandarin-speaking relatives/friends =) especially those who would not go to a Sunday "service" but would go to such movies =)
Nice photos on ur blog.
