Matthew 28:19-20

Jesus said, "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Four more days...


As the saying goes...
With just a blink of an eye and here we are
FOUR MORE DAYS TO PHILIPPINES!
After meeting up for the last couple of months
We are soon going to be on our way
Before we embark on this mission, I've asked each of us to write down our personal prayer requests
That all of us may continue to uphold one another in prayer


D-Way

Please pray that God will give me the wisdom and guidance to lead the group. Many months of planning and I believe it's going to be worth while. Pray also as I fine tune the schedule with Ph, they're bit slow on their side but I can show you all the rough schedule this Saturday. Please also pray that I'll have the strength (and also you all) when we're in Ph. Most of all pray against the work of the evil ones. Like Nehemiah faced opposition from outside and inside. I hope I'll not face opposition inward but I'm expecting from outward as whenever we want to do something BIG for God, satan will always want to make it small.

May
Please pray for a focus mind & heart to complete this mission task - need to remember drama roles, rope tricks, action songs, testimony, etc etc..
For new friendships to be built & for current friendships to deepen (amongst team member especially, we'll be staying together for 8 days, 7 nights)
And for sensitivity & obedience to God's voice :)
Thank you!

Noelle
Do keep me in prayer in:
Able to catch deadlines in work so that my boss will release me for long leave in "peace"
Smooth travel & Physically fit (Easily get flight or car sickness then will start dizzy follow by migraine)

Be able to adapt with the local culture and people

Able to control my emotion (Easily touch follow by tears) hahahaha

and lastly, Obedience to God

James
I was shocked to be requested by our team leader to prepare sermon. Never done it in my life and it's my 1st time. I'll be having a hard time for the week ahead, so please pray for wisdom to know and understand what the Lord wants me to speak to the people in Philippines. Starting to have fear of preparing it.

Ping Xin
That i will be spiritually, physically n mentally prepared for d battle up ahead... That i may also have the wisdom to know what and when to say and do when i meet the ppl and street kids there.. Pray too for adaptation to d environment n food there..lastly, to learn what God wants me to learn and continue placing my faith and trust in him no matter the circumstances..

Pray that once I'm there I will be able to go all out for God and not hold back because of my doubts or fears.

That I will allow God to fully use me when I'm there.
May i continue to draw strength from God each day as I prepare. I'm also busy with my assignments and my upcoming exams, so do pray that I will be able to trust God to provide for He knows what's best for me. Pray that i will be well and healthy when the trip begins as I'm also coming down with a flu. Pray that I'll be able to work well with my team and with the people there.

Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Thank you all for your prayer support and encouragement!
We truly appreciate them all!
God bless!

Signing off, Xinn.
