FEARFUL or FEARLESS?

written by: Christine Soh

hey pips!

alright, today is saturday! happy day, cheerful day, cool day, happening day and go-church day? lol alright,today we started off with prayer at 2.30pm. as usual, Toefl led the prayer and some of the youth people join in unity to pray for exams-assignments-healings-Pastor Nirhal-unity among YA-grypers' spiritual growth-journey mercy for those went to concert tonight.soon it was 3pm!

officially YA started! we started off with games. Quan Wei led games and he introduced a pretty LAME and old school game. lol its about paper-sccisors-stone and a mixture of expanding both of your legs? well, it was definitely FUN and LAME yet COOL? hehe *thumbs up to qw.

Joe came up and started with 'warming us up'. its time for praise and worship! yippeee! it was an awesome time of worship and its not just about great music, but all that matters are the hearts of all the young people praising and worshiping GOD. and the worship team had practised and done their part so that today's worship will go on well, and definitely as they honour GOD, GOD had blessed them with the talents needed =)

After that, john chaired the service. and some youth came up to testify of GOD's blessing in their lives and today mostly its about GOD's healing over all kinds of sicknesses lol. including me! GOD had healed me of my twisted neck, thanks GOD!

and Pastor Nirhal preached as we listened attentively (pretty sure we ALL did learnt something) ok, i'm not gona write the whole sermon here, but here're the some good pointers...- FEAR- fear can be our motivater- our main motivater? the fear of GOD- use what we have, and we'll be blessed with morealright! thats basically it..what happened in YA today.. overall we had fun and learnt and we will apply it in our lives, amen? =)*GOD bless...

Saturday - 19 August 2006. Would we reach 60 persons or not? Well, I had come to church already decided that even if we had just a few newcomers, and although we did not reach the target of 60 persons - we would still screen the DVD "Indescribable"

Well - as it turns out - we recorded a pretty good attendance - 53 persons in all!! Woohoo.... highest for an average Saturday meeting - only like abt 11-12% short of our target ..... 88-89% in school is normally a distinction, yea? ;)

Also we saw at least 2 people indicate for salvation / rededication of life.... angels in Heaven were rejoicing!!! And so was I!!!

The fact was that because school holidays had started as well as college study break for some - there were a number of regulars who were not around - and still we managed to record this number!

Well, this shows that GRYP is capable of moving on with good crowds - inviting our friends to "come and see" what we are really apssionate about - on Saturdays!!!

For all those who took the effort to reach out & invite your friends whether they came or not - my deep thanks to you - your efforts are noted & recorded Up Above....

And better things are yet to come. Let's continue to attempt better & better thnings for our Master.... King Jesus!!!

Indescribable Sermon DVD on Saturday? Well, the challenge was thrown out last Saturday - reach a target attendance of 60 persons, and we'll screen the much talked about Louie Giglio sermon. Awesome doesn't describe it, must be watched personally to be appreciated!!! With the new advances in technology & availability of incredible resources from many places - we too in Malaysia can benefit from the "good" coming in from the West - not just the "gunk"!!! So -where will you be Saturday 19th August, 3pm? I hope you'll be joining us!!! :-)

Great Service

written by: John

We had a great turn out yesterday (12.08.06) we have about 42 people yesterday and that was great! We had a great time of praise and worship lead by the "Shorty Roxx" gang leader, it was just amazing lah!!!!

we played the classic 7-up game.. everyone knows that game well I suppose. 1.2.3.4.5.6.7up!! but that game was so funny... coz the usual people who wouldn't normally lose in any game were losing big time... haha and the punishment?? everyone who lost have to pour water into mugs and those that made it spill have to drink 2 cup of water~ haha.. awesome..

of course preaching by Pastor Nirhal.. about community, and unity among the people la...

oh next week, we'll be screening one chun video.. THE INDESCRIBEABLE dvd... we will screen it if we touch 60 people, which is a fair challenge as they say.. so GUYS n GIRLS bring your friends all come to the service next saturday!!.. you would not want to miss it..

what's the video about?? some cool explaination of the galaxy and universe.. want to know how big the universe is? come to experience it!!!

GI-NORMOUS

Written by: Jason Soh

This week's YA was awesome! At first, during the discipleship class, a few of us were watching the video about God’s greatness.. GI-NORMOUS (GIGANTIC-ERNOMOUS). [[He Is MiGhTy To SaVe!]] That’s truly what God is! The preacher in the video showed a lot of pictures of the universe, and I was really amazed at the glory of God. Wow…. During prayer time, the presence of God was really felt in us.. Worship was cool, really cool. The games: musical chair. Quite lame rite? But it turned out fun. Keke.. Bunch of lame ppl.. The preaching was good. Pastor Nirhal (PN) preached about a life of GRYPers as a community. United we stand! We are ONE! Hehe… That’s about it, I guess. Sayonara!
