heya! there was restructuring a couple of weeks back
in NORTH...[my church crew] well, and now....
its NORTH A for me, not NORTH B..

lemme put it this way, i am certainly proud
of what God have built in NORTH B..
wonderful people, really can see how we as family bonded..
ahaha... and now, its kinda like "mahjonged" around, some of us
went to the NEW NORTH B and NEW NORTH C to be a blessing!!!
and i'm in charge of the NEW NORTH A!!!

we are called ALIVE!
believers that are ALIVE in [our vision] :

SALVATION [Acts 4:12]
SPIRIT [Rom 8:10, Gal 5:25]
SHINING 4 JESUS [Phil 2:5]

we are like fishes that are alive, we swim against the current...
unlike dead ones, that just flow wherever the current brings.

NORTH ALIVE! [we are believers with QUALITY!]
NORTH ALOUD! [we are ENTHU!!]
NORTH ANOINTED! [we are BLESSED!]
NORTH "AI ZAI"!! [we TAKE HEART & WONT be taken down easily!]

wahaha.....y'know...
to my precious "ALIVE" and the rest in NORTH:

NORTH is not only a district that exist just like that...
but we are ONE BIG FAMILY...
it actually doesn matter who we serve with, who our leaders are,
or whichever land we pioneer [be it woodlands, yishun or sembawang]
the KEY thing here is we SHARE ONE COMMON GOAL
[great commission; cg08]
and ONE COMMON HEARTBEAT 4 CHRIST!
its like we just got this
WONDERFUL PRIVILEGE to be serving with
different believers, whom are with loads of
potential, that we are able to learn from each other!!

cheers, NORTH!!
[JIA YOU! NORTH A! NORTH B [hoe] ! NORTH C [joyce] !
these 3 lands are for us to CLAIM!]

1 Chronicles 4:10 (The Message)

9-10 Jabez was a better man than his brothers, a man of honor. His mother had named him Jabez (Oh, the pain!), saying, "A painful birth! I bore him in great pain!" Jabez prayed to the God of Israel: "Bless me, O bless me! Give me land, large tracts of land. And provide your personal protection—don't let evil hurt me." God gave him what he asked.

last saturday, "ALIVE" gathered! hahaha..
we heard this amazing song by DC TALK...
"in the light"..... [ 1 John 1:5-7]
*anyone want the song, feel free to bug me!*
beautiful song!! and our motto ...
"ALIVE IN THE LIGHT"

SKY's colour = shades of blue!
we chose blue as our colour code cos we are:
Bringing
Love
Upon
Everyone
wahahhahaa~~~~~~~~~~!!!

ALIVE 1!

ALIVE 2!!

my NEW TEAM!
[from left, Val, Celine, Xue Yong, KayaNN!]
*will intro them more along the way!

canDID!?

lastly, here's a video of ALIVE 1 praying!!
[led by Xue Yong!]
and we also caught Elton off-guard!!!
HAHHAH~!!!

The Gift of Family

Some people are born into wonderful families.
Others have to find or create them.
Being a member of a family is a priceless membership
that we pay nothing for but love.
