House of Fellowship’s Singai Camp 2011


Mount Singai is a wonderful place for devotion, I never dream of having a camp here with my cell group members.  Our cell group had a camp on Mount Singai on the 30th of September to 2nd October 2011, the theme is “We are chosen”. The cell group today is known as House of Fellowship, we started it in year 2009 with members of 9. When I first come to UNIMAS, I wish I could participate in the Christian Fellowship here in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. I was approached by senior that brings us to join local church, it was exciting for me, and I let the Lord lead my way. Then, I think about other students that are not from the same denominations, who would care for them? We don’t have student’s Christian fellowship here for us to support each other.

As time goes by, I continue to pray that the Lord will make a way to bring revival to this place. I found few friends that have the same desire, to gather and to fellowship with each other. Praise God, we have place and we plan a time for us to gather to praise and worship Him as well as sharing His word.  I am encouraged by these verses,

Hebrew 10:25, Let us not give meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Matthew 4:4, Jesus answered, “it is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

House of Fellowship is not about the effort, hard work or knowledge of how we start it, it is a gift from God for His glory and we are willing to accept this gift. It begins with about 9 students and now we have about up to 70 members.  

We have a wonderful time at Mount Singai, praise God for His grace and mercy. We have devotions, talks, BBQ, praise and worship sessions and lots more. I would like to thank my lecturers for the supports that they gave especially Mdm. Rose Nanju and Ms. Jane Buncuan for the Singai Camp. I would also want to thank my brother, Lyon Mackenzie for his willingness to organize this camp, good job Lyon. To all of the House of Fellowship’s members, well done, continue to be mature in faith for the glory of Jesus Christ our Lord.  Continue to serve Him, because we know that what we do for Him is not in vain as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15:58.

Keep House of Fellowship in prayer so that we will continue to shine for Him and to be blessings to others. Once again, thanks for all of the supports and prayers.

Carolling about what?

Image
Halleluiah! House of Fellowship lately had been preparing for carolling. It’s a blessing to be part of carolling; prayers, vocal training, musical training, and so on, it’s wonderful. What is carolling all about? Basically carolling is about going to others and share the good news that Christ was born. Carolling to houses usually will begin with prayers, and then with bible reading and Christmas songs or some might prefer to call it Christmas carols. As it gets nearer to Christmas, many songs will come out to the air, for example: “Hark the herald angels sing.” , “O come all ye faithful”, “We three kings”, “Santa Claus is coming to town”, “Rudolph the red nose reindeer” and many more. For me, all of the songs are nice and very catchy for many, but I would like to ask a question,  “What is our message?” Nowadays, there are a lot of add-on characters for Christmas, sadly, the main character; Jesus Christ is often omitted from the celebration. Well, let us focus on th...

Smartphone – Problems for some people

Image
Amazingly, smartphones productions and sales are skyrocketing high in recent years. What I mean here is the touch-screen-smartphones (TSS). Majority of my friends are using TSS, some of them even have 2 smartphones with different numbers. Few brands are popular in the market: Apple, Samsung, Blackberry and Nokia. I chose Acer beTouch 140.  If previously you have heard about great things about TSS, let me share about some problems with smartphones. Sweaty hands: You’ll find difficulty with TSS if you have sweaty hands. Sometimes, the screen is not sensitive to your touch, so you need to wipe your fingers and the screen frequently. Moreover, the sweat will make the screen dirty. When it comes to games that require fast tapping (Tap the Frog and so on), you may find difficulty to excel in this type of game as your sweaty hands may sometimes disturb the reactivity of the screen to your touch. Typing messages:         ...

The Ant and The Grasshopper

One day, a teacher tells this story to his class, “Once upon a time there is an ant live in a beautiful forest. The ant is a very hardworking; it works so hard to find foods. Winter is coming soon and ant worked extra hard to gather the food stocks for the coming season. Not far from ant’s nest, there live a grasshopper, it plays and really enjoys its life, grasshopper doesn’t really bother to work and gather food stock for the coming winter. Ant is a caring neighbour, it always drop by and ask grasshopper to join it in gathering food, but grasshopper always gives many excuses and refuse to join ant, it enjoys its life and always tease ant for working so hard to find food. “It’s still long way to go ant, why don’t you sit with me and enjoy life?” the grasshopper offer the ant to join it. “Winter is very near, if I don’t work extra hard now, the food will not be enough for me to survive during the season.” Ant replies. “Ha ha, okay then, it’s up to you.” The grasshopper conti...
