GPC Strum and Sing is a new outreach activity started by the Evangelism ministry in April this year.  It is held on the first Saturday of each month. Each time, we have a different theme, such as songs from the 60s, and for this coming session on 2 September, ABBA Songs. There are opportunities for non-Christians to hear the gospel and get to know Christians while making music together.

Home is where it all starts. To love the Lord our God is the heart of Missions, and to persuade others (including our spouse and children) of our faith, God’s heart must be engrafted on ours – not a result of our own effort but by God’s grace.

My wife (Pearl) and I were brought together through the Cambodia medical mission trip more than 18 years ago. Then, it was hard to say we truly understood what missions meant beyond recognizing that doors were wide open for us to use our vocational skills to serve God. It may have been a tad dangerous for us to have been regarded as God’s instruments without realizing God’s heart for His people.

Acts 26:19-21 presents a compelling narrative of the Apostle Paul's meeting with King Agrippa. During this encounter, Paul shares his divine commission, narrates his conversion experience, and expresses his steadfast dedication to the mission entrusted to him by the risen Lord. This passage serves as a poignant reminder of the heart we should cultivate – a profound desire to actively spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to those who have not yet heard it.

I have been thinking of moving nearer to GPC, hence recently I have started to look for a HDB flat on this side of Singapore. At the same time, it also means that I am putting up my current flat for sales. Before my agent came to take photos of my unit to put it up on the website for potential buyers to see, I cleared out the unnecessary clutter so that my home would look neat and spacious on the listing. It’s common sense to me. But when I visited the houses of potential sellers, it was not like that.

My whatsapp photo has stirred interesting reactions from people who saw it. It ranged from curious looks to spontaneous laughs. It did not help that the photo shows a martial art expert executing a kung fu move with a dragon flying from behind. It also has the caption “降龙十八掌” or “Slaying The Dragon With 18 Palms”. Some suspicious acquaintances shot me with authentication questions to verify if it was really me. Others asked me about the photo. This gave me the opportunity to offer the following explanation.

There is so much more that we could do

if not for the lack of

more helpers and volunteers.
