exciting sunday
April 29th, 2007
Missed a great chance to take a pic of me and my wife having chicken rice with my on-line friends who visited our service on Sunday but we were caught up in the excitement and just forgot. Daniel and Lynette Ong (Curahee101 and Looxie) met quite a number of members who knew them via my blog and theirs. We talked about the blessedness of tithing and giving by faith. Told them I’ll pay a visit to their church, COOS, one day. Interestingly, a few days prior to this I was having lunch with Yip
(see photo) and we were talking about work and he mentioned one of his Christian clients, and it turned out to be Daniel Ong. Small world!
Then there were the Englands too, a missionary couple from New Zealand to Romania, whom I remembered having steam-boat dinner with long long ago. He remembered the church van I was driving.
James and Kimberley Creasman and sons and Andy a CRM volunteer doing some video of the impact of Focusing Leaders Network in Singapore were in church too to get some takes of the church in worship and interview some members. James is the leader of the CRM ministry in Singapore, which focuses on leadership development, and he was my coach during the duration of the course. His wife is a talented vocalist and drama artiste and trainer and I asked Christina to network with her. And later I even caught up with Seng Chor, a wonderful Christian leader who facilitated the pastors’ network I was in.
Right now I am overdosed with excitement.

Ya! When I reached home, I told Dan AIYA!! we should bring our camera to take photo of WRPF, people we met and our delicious lunch then we can blog about it and make Darryl drool *evil smile*
It was fun today and interestingly, an angmo that sat 2 rows behind us he was formaly a COOS full time pastoral staff. I think he preached once or twice (if I remember correctly) but I am not sure why he left church and full time staff after serving there for a very short period of time. I think 1 year or slightly more or so…
Mag is coming back tomorrow. Am arranging a dinner for you guys to meet and have a nice food plus fellowship!!!
We will definately visit WPRF again, such a warm church!
Thanks Looxie for making me drool!!! But I think I was quite happy where I was when you were drooling….haha….not that I’m proud of it anyway!
Don’t worry, I’ll be back!!!
We are blessed to be at WRPF, worshipping the Lord together with you guys, and the warm welcome from so many members really touched my heart.
Thanks for visiting.
Pastor, I should have been there today but I wasn’t. Nevermind, there’ll be a next time….but maybe I’ll be seeing you in COOS before I see you in WRPF!
Was nice talking to you over the phone….commented to Looxie you sound very fatherly over the phone…and yes, we’ll get our tennis game soon….will drop you a mail soon about this…..watch for it yah?
Anyhow, hope to see you around soon….finally!
Actually I already dropped a note to you asking an opinion.
It was truly an exciting Sunday!
wow, i could never imagine it.
i thought meeting pple online are only for the young people.
you are truly a cool pastor.reaching out to people through your blog like that
*salute.
& PTL!
Thanks for the compliment: I am just not uncool. I feel an inner passion to write and the blog medium suits me perfectly. Beats writing a book and much more fun!!
Arsenal won 3-1!! seemed like a fixed match when Fulham scored but seems like Arsenal is ready to take the cup next season!!
Yes you are right. Arsenal’s future is bright. I am looking forward to Arsenal vs Chelsea this week. Hopefully I’ll get invited by Lewis and my son (a Chelski fan) will join us, if it is Sunday.
Hey SP,
You & your Chelsea fan’s son (aka Matt, not Chelski, hope it means Chel-skiing away nil with no goals) are always more than welcome to our humble lodge…:)
Another exciting piece of news to add on to your exciting week - Andy (the guy) who luggs around with 3 cameras and 2 videos commented to me as I was bringing him round to all the services that he enjoyed (guess??) the chinese worship most!! Don’t know why, but last Sunday FET’s was top form: Ä”game, man!
The pre-service prayer group felt led to have their prayer in the Chinese Service hall, with the Chinese core group joining them. The prayer and power connect cannot be discounted!
Furthermore, Andy may be called to China!
