AEROBICS 2008/2009 (HIP HOP COMBAT JAM ! HEARTBEAT FOR YOU…)

Dear PKVians,

-As Malaysia's National Day draws nearer, the idea is to lay aside our
differences, COME TOGETHER and BUILD EACH OTHER via aerobics.

-Basically, it's an aerobics event, with hip hop and body combat moves.

-It’s evangelistic, in the sense that we’re using Christian music, and reaching out to non-believers by just being a friend.
-Sometimes, all we have to do as Christians, is to be REAL friends. Action speaks louder than words.

-ALL Malaysians and International students are invited.
-FREE admission =)

-Tentative flow of the event is as follows:
4.45-5.00pm: Registration
5.00-5.15pm: Consent form distribution and collection
5.15-6.00pm: Aerobics
6.00-6.40pm: Dinner (optional)

-Details for the event:
Date: 27.08.2008 (Wednesday)
Time: 4.45-6.40pm
Venue: Gazebo, Kompleks Perdana Siswa(KPS)

-Do invite your friends, irrespective of their race and nationality,
ya. ~The more, the merrier (",)

-Be PUNCTUAL to ensure a smooth flow of the event.

-For transportation, please contact
Kathleen (012 580 0431) or Swee Meng (012 588 9396).

-As for further enquiries, do contact Gabriel (017 434 9709), or
me(0175395110) .

-Prayer requests:
Do pray for- good weather;
- smooth flow of event;
- our non-Christian friends whom we want to invite
~that they'll be open and join us;
- wisdom
~to answer whatever questions that might be raised by
non-believers anytime, anywhere;
- ourselves, as we juggle between studies, college
activities, PKV activities, and church events.

-Hope to see you there! =)

OHANA

I believe that it was by no coincidence that i talked to a brother about my current struggles with God after last friday's PKV meeting, when the 'OHANA' concept was introduced and discussed. In fact, it is a humbling experience for me (and i thanked God for that) that as i recently talked to a few ppl about my feelings and doubts in this where-r-u-God phase of my life, i got many silent nods in agreement instead of the strong-to-weak counseling. To my amazement they frankly admit that they are also having struggles and questions for God, juggling between feelings and rationals in the matter of faith, and making sense of their personal lives in God.

*as i'm writing this down, i'm listening to Petra's 'Beyond Belief'. Funny.

There's a higher place to go, beyond belief, beyond belief
Where we reach the next plateau, beyond belief, beyond belief
And from faith to faith we grow Towards the center of the flow
Where He beckons us to go, beyond belief, beyond belief

One thing that Sui Jade shared in PKV meeting that striked me was that fellowship doesn't equal to friend. It's more than that! We choose our friend, but do we choose our family? No! For many of us we'd hoped that we could convince ourselves that we don't have to be committed to the fellowship of the family of God. But i don't have to like you or be like you to be in the same family as u. I don't even have to agree with u. Yet many times we naturally cliqued with those we're comfortable with and avoid those we're not. It is indeed a challenge to treat every relationships in the house of God like a spiritual gift.

It was humbling for me because i always thought that i am alone in this spiritual battle. Yet what was more humbling was that God had sent ppl that i wasn't close with and i had least expected to minister to me.

The most wonderful thing is that OHANA doesn't end here. In fact it is the precursor to 'The Great Commission'. It is the prerequisite for reaching out and shine for Him. For God establish His Kingdom in His family. And it is up to us to respond to the challenge and live up to the call.

'Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up 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.' Hebrews 10: 23-25
