WHAT ABOUT YESTERDAY?!
1:36 AM

I take God as my pride.
I take Pastors as my pride.
I take my church as my pride.

Pastor Josh Kelsey was impacted by what we are doing in Heart of God church. LET'S SEE!

"Just finished an incredible weekend in Singapore at Heart of God church. My life was changed forever. This church convicted me to the very core.

The story of this incredible church is mind blowing. This doesn't do it justice but it started with two leaders Pastor How and his wife Leah who were looking after 7 young kids in Childrens church. They discipled these 7 kids into adulthood and they are now around 21-24 years old and run an incredible church for young people of 1200 people.

The Executive pastor is 23. The Chief of staff is 24. They are so well structured and well thought out that they know how many people are coming to their 2 services before they even start. They know how many of their members are bring new people. They are so well trained they move like an army in perfect co-ordination. I realised that the organisation however flowed out of their overflow of their love for Jesus. Their worship was so passionate, so alive, so humble, so honouring of Jesus. They served each other with a smile and nothing was ever too hard. Everything was done efficiently and effectively. They were always smiling and engaging. So 7 young kids grew this church under 2 incredible leaders to now a church of 1200 people and growing rapidly every week! We saw around 30 something brand new decisions and the Holy spirit moved powerfully in ministry time.

Young adults are rising all over this incredible planet with a hunger and fervency for Jesus. One thing that I am truly inspired about from this trip are connect groups. We have always been passionate about this but I felt my heart was rekindled for all of us to understand that discipleship, relationship and making sure people are cared for and released as leaders is our greatest priority as workers for Christ. This is the great commission! Whoever God has given to you I pray a new found passion would rise in your heart to make sure they are cared for, at CHANGE each week, connected, being raised up as a leader and multiplied as a fruitful believer. The Kingdom does not grow any other way. Lets rise up young adults and realise the greatest privilege is to disciple others in the way of Christ. I know CHANGE and C3 will surge as we make this a greater priority than all the other things that distract us in life. Can’t wait to see you and your connect group and your friends at CHANGE this wed 8pm! We will see the 2020 vision fulfilled...1000 churches average membership 500 people by year 2020.
Let's do this!

Much Love,
Joshua "

I have just finished a long day in church actually 'yesterday' because I'm currently typing this blog at 01:41 am on Sunday. Definitely happy, it was one of the best days in church.

God is totally moving in me. My heart is filled with faith. I don't mind spend just total one day stay in church. It's nice and full of fun time.

* 11 00 am - 12 30 pm: Discipleship class with Ivan Poh
The session was powerful. Ivan Poh is such an amazing leader, cool and inspiring.
Yes, WE ARE MIRACLES OF GOD IN HIS HOUSE.
I did came late for the mistake of hearing wrongly not 11 00 am but 11 30 pm. :(
Next time, definitely I CAN'T BE LATE!

* 12 30 pm - 01 15 pm: Lunch with Wei Cheng and Elysia Lee
The 3 'O' level muggers had a great gather moment when they talked to one another at McDonald today. I love those two friends, definitely!

* 01 30 pm - 03 30 pm: Getting Started 1 and 2 - MR1 - Garret Lee
Last year, after school closed, I went back my country for a long period and missed out 7 lessons of 'Getting Started'. So, my face was there, in the MPR1. I need to be filled with a lot of knowledge about God

* 03 30 pm - 04 00 pm: Hanging around in church with my CG.
I actually helped out the Usher team as they had lack of people and definitely needed help. I assisted them as an Usher! :)

* 04 00 pm - 04 30 pm: Prayer Meeting with beloved Pastor - Pastor How!
Of course, every prayer meeting is amazing! :)

* 04 30 pm - 05 00 pm: I went to fetch Sze Ping and Felicia.
It was amazing with the presence of 3 more people, Joline, Aaron and Johnny - my schoolmates.

* 05 00 pm - 07 00 pm: SERVICEEEEEEEEEE! - What is Spirituality? - Pastor How!
Haha, i'm glad to see that they were happy to have fun in church. A great impression! My Pastor was happy to see them. I love the way Pastor loves people. He just loves, no matter what situations or conditions that people are in.

* 07 00 pm - 08 50 pm: Dinner with CGs and friends
Haha, it was an awesome gathering of us! There was a lot of fun! People joked and laughed! WONDERFUL!

* 08 50 pm - 12 00 am: A journey from church to Billy's grandfather's house then from Billy's grandfather's house back home.
We actually went to visit Billy in his grandpa's wake. Grandfather has a long life of 96 years. Wah, I just want to live as long as him. Billy's family is so lovely. Grandma is cheerful. Billy's father is kind and funny. Billy's mother and sister are so prettyyyy! Billy's brother looks like a very artistic guy - Micheal Jackson look-alike. BILLY'S COUSIN IS SO CUTE although he is a naughty (really) that I really have a feeling like Darryl said, I was gonna kidnap him, bring him home and let him become my little brother. I LOVE KIDS! His grandfather has a big garden which I just wish to have. He planted chillis like me. He planted banana and a lot of orchids. WOW! What a lovely family!

After visiting them, we went back home. D2, D20 and D4 have all the adorable people. HAHA. I definitely love them!

Yeah, it's my Saturday. I'm going for ACJC choir concert at Esplanade Theatre at 6 30pm. I have got someone accompanied - ELYSIA LEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Before that I need to finish up all my homework and study for 'O' level exam. See that Wei Cheng - the 'yah lor' & 'irritating' friend, he has got 10 points for Prelim 1 and 12 points for Prelim 2. So irritating! Hahaha.
I'm very excited about the concert! Haha.

On Monday, I will go to watch movie 'Hancock' with Bobby, Fern and Pike - my international classmates.

What an exciting life!

LY ♥ JESUS!
