Sherrie says Hi!

It's been 5 months since I joined Arkroyal. And I'm Lovin' It!
Lol.

Anyway, thanks for the cards given to me for my Baptism (this is long due)

And also, :) thanks for the bday present and the encouraging words from everyone.

Sherrie looks forward to more CG sessions, more outings, and more fun with Arkroyal!

PS: 1st June people! Can't wait. Heh heh. There better be something good. :D

New Recruit on the Block

Ok, so now the time has come to say goodbye to the third person from our CG to head to serve the nation as a soldier. Eric was first, Weisheng was second, now we must all say goodbye to Eugene.. We'll miss his lame jokes and his floppy hair, and his occasional blur look when he doesn't get the crap the rest of us are talking about.

So this is just a reminder to everyone to remember to keep him in prayer as he goes for his transition to botak-guy. And also to keep all the others in prayer too. And this is also to thank him for providing our CG blog with music.

Ok, some prayer requests:
Andrew, via Qiuyun: He's got a trip coming up, not too sure the details, maybe Qiuyun can update a bit more when she knows

Sherrie: Pray for her family's salvation, but most importantly for her younger sister.

Please feel free to add your own prayer requests ok.

Finally, for entertainment's sake, we have the 2nd army guy this year! Cheo Weisheng, a.k.a. Dominic, a.k.a. the manga lookalike, in his post in front of goal, trying to make sure no one scores against him during the April Open Sunday.

Weisheng the goalkeeper.
Unlike Jie-the-disturber-of-peace-and-justice,
Weisheng believes in diving before the ball even reaches him.

Yup, that's about it.

Hi Everyone,

I am back! Thanks you for constantly keeping this team and the lost in prayer. Prayer is one of the best free gifts I have ever received. There is no cost but a lot of rewards. It's really beyond words to express how grateful I am to have u guys standing alongside to pray with us. Thanks you guys. Once the report is done, I will print it out and distribute to all of u.

Lastly, I would really want to take this opportunity to thanks everyone here. I joined this Cg for only a few months. I don't really know you guys well. But the fact that all of you lifted up my family issues in prayers, I am really very thankful because God really answers those prayers.
I would like to also thanks
1) Daniel and Aggie: Honestly, i know it can be disappointing at times to see my irregular attendances.Yet both of you try to minimise the pressure that should have on me. I really feel appreciated when two of you could understand my situation.
2)Daniel: Thanks for keeping me update on the latest acivities. Though chances of me joining is very low, you still put in the effort to inform me. Thanks you so much.
3) Aggie, Sherrie: Thanks for constantly keeping my dad and me in prayer. I am really blessed.
4) Zoey & Eugene: Thanks for telling me through the tag box that you guys will be praying for me. Is very encouraging.
5) Joy, Swee boon, Weisheng, Daniel, jie Eric: Thanks for the invisible blessing(prayers). Though you all never say I will be praying for you but I know you guys do pray because God really answered.

I have always been wanting to say it in Cg setting. But the timing always clash. So I might as well blog it here. I really feel very blessed by all of you. Thanks you.

Trip to Phetchabun Refugee Camp is cancelled:
This team is being restricted to enter Phetchabun Refugee camp, due to the conflict refugee have with the military. Is got serious that no outsiders are allowed to enter into the camp until April. As a result, we will no longer serve in this Camp. Thank you for keeping the Hmong-Lao in Prayer.

Current Plan:
We will be going to Kheion where drug addicts are found. The major hinderance is language. We only have one Hmong-Thai lady to spread the gospel to the entire village. We need God direction to what He wants us to do. We are told of such plan yesterday, 12 more days left for preparation.

Let us continue to pray for God's direction. Pray for Sin Yi! She will be leading 17 people. Pray as Holy spirit leads us to. okie? Thanks you so much= )

The Latest Update:
Friday(29th Feburary):
It has been confirmed that 11 people were deported after signing a "voluntary" deportation paper. Emotions are running high in the camp as people are fearful of the ongoing deportation. Foreigners have all been denied access to the camp for the next couple of days so the deportation can go on smoothly.

5th March 2008:
"The team is now being restricted to enter the refugee camp,due to refugees conflict with military, Ben will discuss with Eugene on the contingency plans."

The Prayer Movement:
As we move towards our departure of 18th March, we would like you to be praying with us for the Hmong people that the team is going to minister to.

Certain areas that we could pray for:

1. The safety of the Hmongs in the refugee camp and the ones that has been deported back to Laos.
2. Pray that their emotional tension will be removed amongst the ones in the camp n at Laos.
3. The Hmongs' salvation. that in the midst of such condition they could see the hope to live.
4. God's will to be done among all these.
5. Let's pray for the directions in regards to 5th march
6. The team meets on the 6th of March for a time of prayer and fast to earnestly pray and intercede for this dark times.

In line with this, the team has initiated a synchronised time of prayer nightly between 10-10.30pm to be set aside for prayer for the people daily till we depart for Thailand.
