Post 40 DOP message

Message by Rev Law Hui Seng, photo by William Ting, posting by James Wong.

Dear brothers and sisters,

Praise the Lord for He is the One who sustained our 40dop. I experienced unity of the whole church this time. With those 5 purposes driven home, now, we have a 'common language' to talk about and serve God. People who have read about the heart beat of God in those 5 purposes will understand better now when we do them. Now, they have a good understanding, the challenge next is to mobilize them to do them. The task of mobilizing them is easier now as they understand the significance of the 5 purposes.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Campaign team and the Sub-Committee members and Small Group leaders and all those who were involved in this campaign for doing a very good job. You all really have made a difference for Jesus. This is especially in terms of unity expressed; the number of non-Christians (at least 20) whom we have reached out; the nine cell groups which may be formed; two new youths who have joined i-Youth; Boys’ Brigade, Girls’ Brigade and Sunday School had successfully completed the 40 DOP; at least 4 backslide brothers and sisters I know have come back to church service; at least thirty five people who have been recruited to do different ministries and mission; and most important of all many lives who are transformed.

What is important next is the very challenging task of following up the new believers, backslide Christians and brothers and sisters who are joining the newly formed cell groups. We need to pray for the following items:

a. Thank God for the great opportunity to do 40 DOP. Whatever that has been achieved, let us give glory to Him.
b. Pray that God will raise at least 9 new cell leaders to do the job. Pray that they will have great sense of mission to make disciples.
c. Pray that present cell leaders and new cell leaders will find the time to meet to discuss and do follow up on the new members.
d. Pray that church leaders are able to guide the new members to grow to spiritual maturity by using the present material.

God bless,
Rev Law Hui Seng
