Save Money!!!

Camp is coming.
WFL is coming.
Spending money should be the last thing on your mind if you don't have enough money for camp and/or WFL! Saving money should be the first.
Don't just be contented with camp only! WFL is also important!!!
Temporal inconvenience. Temporal 'suffering'. Eternal rewards. Choose the right path!

Easter Harvest

3Ps
-Partner
-Plan
-Pairs

It's been almost a year since we launch NE 180 Degrees Change. And what change had we seen? We are still far from 180 people! In fact, we just transferred so many O level grads to other districts and tertiary. We need to really grow a lot if we want to achieve 180, 200 and beyond!

It is no easy task. But, if we follow our game plan for this Easter harvest, the 3Ps, there will be no problem breaking our 200 goal!

First, we need to partner up. Much as humans hate to admit it, we can't fight a lone battle. Partner up. Share ideas. Encourage each other. Pray together. Go out into the field together. Cover up each others' weaknesses. Complement each others' strengths.

Second, we need to plan. We just can't drift along & hope that someone will convert. We need to plan concrete steps & actions. Set goals & targets to achieve. Time is short, start planning. Plan when to outreach. Plan when to share Christ. Plan when to intercess for the school. Use that small, little time slots to the maximum.

Third, we need to aim high for pairs of convert. 2 converts may seem difficult, but we need to have faith & trust in God. Question yourself how much God is worth. God is so wonderful, surely He is deserving of us bringing 2 people to know Him!

Come on, NE! Let's work hard for this Easter. Saturday is pre-Easter service. Next Saturday is Masterpiece, our Easter service (12.30pm @ Nexus). There's not much time left, if we don't do something about it, Easter will come & go & we'll realized we done nothing.

I'm sure the leaders are all tired of hearing 180 all the time. I believe it is the same thing with 200. Shall we move together in 1 united spirit to beyond 200? It can only be done if each & everyone of us play our part in this Easter harvest. YOU must play YOUR part.

All the way, beyond 200!

NorthEast Testimonies!

God is doing a great work all over NE!

As we read all these wonderful stories, let's not just be awed and inspired. Let's desire to be used by God in such a great manner!

NEA
St Nicholas: Had a new believer last week who was so inspired by God and impressed by the church that she sms-ed Kar Chian last Saturday night to say that she will commit to church every week from now!

Jonathan Quek: He has a December convert but the convert only wants to go for Sunday morning service. Jonathan didn't complain, instead he is very willing to wake up by 7+am to accompany this new believer to the Sunday service at 9am.

Pete: He actually woke up early in the morning at 8.30am to play badminton with a non believer! He also mobilized the CG to go down and sow on the non believer.

NEB

Sunny: Had a new believer whose life was so changed in the area of his speech (in the past, he used to say a lot of vulgarities) that his mum was rather impressed by the change. She even asked why there was such a change in his life. His friends was very surprised by this transformation too and requested him to bring them to his church as they wanted to see what was the reason why he changed so much.This new believer also has a great desire to grow. This coming Saturday ESS, his two friends has already been confirmed!

Nicolas: He gave lots of support to the CG! He actually mobilized the whole cg to support his sheep in a school event. He sms-ed the cg to ask who could go and support. He even made a statement that even if no one is going, he will still go down! For the last few weeks, he has brought at least one friend for each service!

Nigel: This new believer brought a friend and he converted! He really desire to bring friends to know God! Now St Gabriels has 3 people!!!

NEC

Vincent and Brandon: During this period of harvest, Vincent and Brandon (who weren’t very outward and excited about outreach in the past) actually initiated to go down to evangelize together! They provided support for each other and spurred one another on. From 1 Compassvale Sec person, now they had grown to a near CG size of Compassvale people!

Zeliang: He called Freedy to find out how he could be a CL and last week he had his first converted sheep!

NEE

Wenhui: She, a new believer grew to desire God. Even while watching movie, God spoke to her and she even had a vision from God. She's also very excited about bringing people. Recently, she found her own sheep and she's very eager to grow her sheep. Her desire and child-like faith encourages the CG a lot! Even more impressively, she started serving in HopeKids on Sunday just one day after she converts!

Zhiwei and Wee Keong: During last Saturday ESS, Zhiwei and Wee Keong (an AJC new believer) from NEE2 brought 2 of their CCA juniors for service after their CCA! The two visitors used to have bad impression of church and Y-Hope. But after attending the service, their mindset of the church changed.

NEE2: JC guys' CG strength has always been around 8. However, during last Saturday ESS, they had a total of 18 people (their goal for end feb is 15). Of the 18, 8 were visitors. 2 new believers who converted last, last Saturday came for CG too!

Isn't God powerful in all these stories? Isn't God the God of your group too? If He can do it in these groups, He can do it too in your group.

Let's continue to work hard in action & pray hard for the remaining EX3 services! Let's break 200 soon & very soon!

YK,
on behalf of Gideon.

Lyrics

It Is Your Love

Nothing in this world can satisfy me
Jesus You alone can fill me up
I could gain the world and all its treasures
But all those things would never be enough

It is Your love
It is Your goodness
It is Your kindness and compassion
That fills me up inside
It is Your grace
Your tender mercy
It is Your presence in my life
That satisfies

I Give You My Heart

This is my desire
To honor You
Lord with all my heart
I worship You
All I have within me
I give You praise
All that I adore is in You

Lord, I give You my heart
I give You my soul
I live for You alone
Every Breath I take
Every moment I'm awake
Lord, have Your way in me

Shepherd of My Soul

Shepherd of my soul
I give You full control
Wherever You may lead I will follow
I had made the choice
To listen to Your voice
Wherever You may lead I will go

Be it in a quiet pasture
Or by a gentle stream
The Shepherd of my soul is by my side
Should I face a mighty mountain
Or a valley dark and deep
The Shepherd of my soul will be my Guide

Your Beloved

Lord it was You who
Created the Heavens
Lord it was Your hand
Put the stars in theirs place
Lord it was Your voice
Who commands the morning
Even oceans and their waves
Bow at Your feet

Lord who am I
Compared to Your glory, oh Lord
Lord who am I
Compared to Your Majesty

I'm Your beloved
Your creation
And You love me as I am
Have called me chosen
For Your Kingdom
Unashamed to call me Your own
I'm Your beloved
I'm Your beloved

More of You

Come to me Lord
Here is my heart
Can't live on my own
Can't live without You

I want more, more of You Lord
I want more, more of You Lord
I wanna hold You, love You, not let You go
Renew this fire that's within my soul
I want more, more of You Lord

I SET MY MIND ON YOU

Verse
I set my mind on you Lord
I choose you every time
Focus my eyes on you Lord
And dedicate my life

Chorus
Here I am use me
Come into my life
I want to be more like Jesus
Until the end of time

Sing Of Your Great Love

Verse 1:
All that is within me Lord will bless Your holy name,
I live my life to wor-ship You alone.
You brought me out of darkness, and in-to Your glorious light,
Forever I will sing of Your great love, Forever I will sing of Your great love.

Verse 2:
I love to see You glorified, to see You lifted high,
I yearn to see all na-tions bow their knee.
Itâs You alone Lord Jesus who can cause the coldest heart
To find Your love and everlasting peace, To find Your love and everlasting-peace.

Chorus:
Ho-ly, Ho-ly, Ho-ly is the-Lord
Ho-ly, Ho-ly, Ho-ly is the-Lord.

Bridge:
And Your trumpet will sound, And all of heaven will know
That the time has finally come, For the bride to take her place.
And weâll hear the angels sing

Follow

where can i hide, where your love cannot reach me
where can i go, where your arms, they're not here for me
where can i run to, where i cannot feel your love

'cause Jesus Your love rescued me
so i'll follow after You

wherever you take me, i'm following you
i'm gonna follow you
in everything i say, in everything i do
i'm gonna follow you
in every step i take, i know you're with me
i'm gonna follow you
i'm taking up my cross, i'm following you
i'm gonna follow you

You're everything that i live for
i'll follow after you
everyday of my life Lord
i'll follow after you

i'm gonna follow you
i'll follow after you

We Are the Reason

As little children
We would dream of Christmas morn'
Of all the gifts and toys
We knew we'd find
But we never realized
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by
We learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
And what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
A man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love

I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart just to Him
In all that I do every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him

We are the reason
that He gave His life
We are the reason that
He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all that He could give
To show us the reason to live

He is the reason to live....

Shout To The Lord

My Jesus, My Saviour
Lord there is none like you
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of your mighty love
My comfort, My Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship you

(chorus)
Shout to the Lord, all the earth
Let us sing. Power and majesty, praise to the king.
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of your name
I sing for joy at the work of your hands
Forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you

(chorus)
My Jesus, My Saviour
Lord there is none like you
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of your mighty love
My Comfort, My Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship you

(chorus)
(chorus x2)
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you

Come Holy Spirit

Come Holy Spirit fall on me now
I need Your anointing come in your power
I love you holy spirit
Youâre captivating my soul
And everyday
I grow to love you more

Iâm reaching for your heart
You hold my life in your hand
Drawing me closer to you
I feel your power renew
Nothing compares to this place
Where I can see you face to face
I worship you
In spirit and in truth

How Could I Live

How could I live without You
How could I survive
Without Your love
Without Your touch
You're the One that heals me
And cleanses my heart
And sets me free

Now i come right before You
With my hands lifted up
With my heart humbly bowed
At Your work on the cross
As You hang there and die
You were paying the price
For my life, For my life

For Your love is higher than the heavens
Deeper than the seas
And all I want is You in my life
Noone else can satisfy my soul
Can make me feel this way
Only You Lord, only You

Emmanuel

Together in this place of worship
Your greatness we proclaim
We stand as one in giving You
All glory and acclaim
To You our hearts are open
To You our hands we raise
Come take the place of honour in our lives

Emmanuel
Our God is with us
Prince of Peace Mighty One
The Ever-living God

See the praises of our Saviour
Rise to open skies
With the dawning of redemption
Your glory will arise
For You alone are worthy
Here in Zion you are praised
Our Lord and King forever
You will reign

Draw Me Close

Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I'll lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm Your friend

You are my desire
No one else will do
Cause no one else could take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
Lead me back to you

You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near

How Great is our God
by Chris Tomlin
album: Arriving (2004)

The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice

He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end

The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb

Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

The Heart of Worship

When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus

I'm coming back to the heart of worship,
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
