Prayers

• thinking about Cambodia, i pray for that guy that we invited off the streets to the outreach event. praying for you brother, that one day when we go back, we will see you bringing other missionaries around as well!
• I pray that this would be a year where my friends in the marketplace will come to know Jesus and find the REAL thing they are searching for in life.
• Work has been great as well, God has blessed me so greatly in the marketplac, so i hope i can be a great testimony in 2009
• Pray for Matz & me too - I hope that 2009 is when we can spend more time together, just being together, but also serving together. so that we can say that "But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD" - Joshua 24:15
• Pray that we can continue to bless those around us as well
• 2009 is also when i hope to be able to spend more time with my family. never had the habit to, but i hope that this year i can do more in their lives

2nd Jan was a strange day. after having drinks with my NUS friends, i was walking to the bus-stop and i met wei, my JC friend. so i arranged lunch with him for tuesday. then i took the bus and sat down upstairs. sitting infront of me - my JC class mate! wah!
Then as i was parking the car at bishan, i met a brother from Z3! wah again!

somehow i feel that God wants me to be sensitive and look around and do what i do best - to just connect with all these people, and in faith help them step closer into the kingdom.

Lord this year 2009 is for YOU & we (I+M) pray that Your will be done, Your kingdom reign in our lives. May we hold nothing back from You & trust You in everything - knowing that You know best the road ahead =)
