Foundationians!! How's Holiday?? Enjoying the very moment of it?? hehe... Anxiously waiting for result leh?? haha.. Pray for the best! and hope you all enjoy ur day back at hometown or anywhere you go!
Degreeians + Foundationians!!
Hows your walk with God? Hows your race for Him? I hope you are still running for Him / walking or jogging. Let's find Him even in our most relaxing time or most busy moment in our life. He also want to share the burden and yoke together with us. For He love us. =)
1 Corinthians 9 24 - 27
" Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way a to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore, I do not run like a man running aimlessly; i do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."
Let us keep running for an aim and the aim is for Him.
If you find it hard to understand, please do call Tiong Ngee Derk. He will assist you in many ways! hehehe.. after his exam of course..
See you soon!
With love,

Praise And Worship
“In the day of my trouble I will call to you,
for you will answer me.
Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.
All the nations you have made
will come and worship before You, O Lord;
they will bring glory to your name.
for you are great and do marvelous deeds;
You alone are God.”
Psalm 86:7-10
I believe that most of you are familiar with this verse when it comes to worship. Well, let me ask you some questions. What does worship mean to you? Does it revolve music alone and how much time you spent in church during worship session? In my opinion, worship is all about the heart which is pleases Him and gives your best to Him for what He has done in our lives. From this statement, we can say that worship is more to lifestyle whereby it is what you practiced daily. Thus, a single deed you have done to anyone around you is equivalent to worship regardless of this deed is a big thing or a small thing.
Well, this is just a brief introduction on what is worship is all about. If I want to further elaborate what is worship is all about, it will take more than 2 posts to explain. As we know that, on that very night what we were focusing on is to rededicate our faith to God so that we can stand strong for God and be a living testimony to those who does not know God. Besides that, that night is a night of restoration whereby those who were wounded were healed; those who were dried in the Spirit had been filled up by His living water, those who lost the fire due to various circumstances had been rekindled, those who were lost in their direction had been realigned, etc.
Personally, I can see that God was in the midst of us whereby His presence was very strong and I can see that everyone was putting their heart and soul to worship God. Apart from that, His peace filled everyone’s heart whereby we were too busy on our schedules till we had neglected the goodness of God in our lives. On that very night, what struck me the most on that night whereby every member prayed for one another It touches my heart so much that we are in unity to make CF a place whereby members received edification from their brothers and sisters-in-Christ and a place where our friends who do not know Him received the goodness of God through our love towards others for God is love.
The momentous part was during the candle lighting session. I believe that most of you what does the candle signify. A question that we need to ponder every day is “Are we still keeping the fire going on for God regardless of whether you have a great time with Him and even when you are in your most down moments?” Remember the line we sang on that night? “We want to run to the altar, to catch the fire, to stand in the gap between the living and the dead, give us a heart of compassion, for a world without vision, bringing hope to our land.”So, everyone! Are you ready to stand strong for God and make a difference to our land, UTAR, Kampar?
In conclusion, although we had a great night on that night, what matters the most is on how we react to life with faith or fear, it depends on our focus. I’m learning right now! How about you? =)
Let me end this post with a quote.
“If you keep in tune with Christ, you can sing even in the dark.”
Much Love,
Wendy Lee

1) The breaking of the bread and the wine, to remember the Lord.
2) Prayer meetings and,
3) Meeting together to study the word.
1) Free from denominational bias?
2) Since all of us will be running and leading it, the responsibility will be a great learning experience, rather than just going to Bible Study to receive and receive.
3) It is an essential form of fellowship (we are a Christian Fellowship!)
4) We are university students!
5) We can invite our friends who are yet to know Christ – this is not an activity under the banner of a “church” – but a friendly group.
1) That you’re interested and
2) What topics you think we should study/what direction do you think we should take and
3) Why you think so.

Fire
Praise God that Brother Michael William is willing to come to teach us about God's word.. but i think it's more on life application.. I'm amazed by how much He has uses Michael to speak to us.. I believe there are much to reflect on after what he says..
Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction product.
Fire is also an element which can transfer from one to another. Just like human. Are we transferring the Passion that Jesus has taught us to do? To love the Lord with all our heart and to love our neighbor as ourselves and also to share gospel to the world. Are we doing so? Can we do so?
However, fire can go off when wind element appear, water element appear, or even when there is no oxygen in this world. But the fire we are looking at is fire that is within us. Passion, Love for Christ or maybe towards certain things. Michael says that fire is an element that can go off and also that can continue burning.. It is inconsistent. How to make it consistent?
John 15 : 5 is the answer to it. However, we must always accept the fact that we are weak and therefore are able to fall or tumble.. But are we going to stand again?
Winning UTAR, winning the world or changing the world.. God is moving in it.. But are we moving? are we changing ourselves to try and see like how He sees it? are we using our feet, hand, mouth, ear properly to be able to see Him working in every aspects of our lives and on others?
Remain in Him and He in us.

Mid-term Sems
It has been 8 weeks since we started CF this semester. Have you enjoyed much of it? or does it burden you?
I hope it's the good one..
We have done so many things since first week. Last 2 week we talk about the mouth and last week we had Timothy Lim and his team to come to kampar to share his testimony.
Have you guys and girls learn a lot? I hope you do..
CF has been establish since 2 years ago on January and it has grown until now. All praise to God.
Well, now we have a sum of people coming regularly compared to last time (10 people?). Number do increase now. Quantity is there. How about the quality of every member? Are we walking towards His direction? His road? His way?
Every program that we set is based on the vision of being light of the world so that people know that God is real and God is working in us. Let me recap a bit from first week. =)
1st week = Slight intro on CF and our vision (remember the vision.)
2nd week = Grand Kampar Hotel (remember i said this "To change UTAR is to change yourself")
3rd week = Movie Night (Facing the Giants. Have you faced it? Have you overcome it?)
4th week = Bible Study (Why am I here? Have you find your purpose being here?)
5th week = Devotional Talk (Remember what Cheng Yee shared? Have you found time to spend with Him?)
6th week = Bible study (The Mouth - Are we using our words / tongue / mouth wisely? Mouth is just a tool..
Is your heart with you all the time?)
7th week = This Road (How's your road? Is it broken? Winding? Have you asked God to lead you?)
It's been hard for us to get the message out. But what's more important is the heart. I've been reminding myself to uphold everything to God.. Then He teaches me one more thing, to do everything with your heart.. Without heart, everything we do is heartless..
Prayer walk, morning prayer.. Come with a heart and believe that when we come with a heart it brings changes to UTAR (Change yourself to change ?) Always believe. Heart is deceitful above all things, no one can understand but He Himself understand. Come with a heart and do with it no matter how hard it seems. Give it a try =)
I'm trying my best to do everything with my heart. Some times when i don feel like doing it, i do tell myself that i must do it and do it with a heart. And I believe, by doing this, you are able to change yourself in see in different perspective.
Do you want to change UTAR?
Yes/No?
If you do, Do you believe that it can be changed?
Yes/No?
You might not see the harvest in your Uni time, but will you still work towards it?
Yes/No?
Is your heart with every action you made?
Yes/No?
Do you want to have a heart in every action you do?
Yes/No?
Comment and say YES YES YES! If it is a yes.. xD wooo, im doing survey..haha..kidding (out of context)
If yes, let's get prepared for His way to come upon us to lead us with a heart of serving, a heart of loving, a heart of caring, a heart to change and most of all a heart that He loves it to be. Heart like Jesus, His Son.
If no...... ahhhh..... Make it a yes then! =D hope no no.. hehe
God Bless =)

Why am I here?
In CF, we touched on the point in where are we heading? and what are the reasons / purpose we come here? Well, it is not because of no choice or anything else but it is because you've made the choice to come to kampar, UTAR. Knowing your purpose in here is significant in how you want to lead your life in this 3 years (degree), 4 years (degree + foundation) or even 1 year (foundation).. Seek for your purpose on why you are here..
But then, do not forget of what God's purpose in our life.. To abide the law and the greatest commandment which is
Matthew 22 : 37 - 39
" Jesus replied: ' Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it : ' Love your neighbor as yourself.' "
Matthew 28 : 19 - 20
" Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. "
Remember that this is the greatest commission we are ought to do. This are the main purpose we are to do no matter you are studying, working or serving. Have this Purpose in you and of course have some sub purpose you want to achieve in your life.
Psalms 37 : 4
" Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. "
By doing the great commission faithfully, God will also give you the desires of your heart. Don't give up in working on His greatest commission and seek your purpose in life that you want to achieve here in Kampar =) or anywhere you are.
Don't waste your time and enjoy your life to the fullest of His kingdom.
God Bless!

The Cave People
by Max Lucado
He came to the world that was his own, but his own people did not accept him.
John 1:11
LONG AGO, OR maybe not so long ago, there was a tribe in a dark, cold cavern.
The cave dwellers would huddle together and cry against the chill. Loud and long they wailed. It was all they did. It was all they knew to do. The sounds in the cave were mournful, but the people didn't know it, for they had never known joy. The spirit in the cave was death, but the people didn't know it, for they had never known life.
But then, one day, they heard a different voice. "I have heard your cries," it announced. "I have felt your chill and seen your darkness. I have come to help."
The cave people grew quiet. They had never heard this voice. Hope sounded strange to their ears. "How can we know you have come to help?"
"Trust me," he answered. "I have what you need."
The cave people peered through the darkness at the figure of the stranger. He was stacking something, then stooping and stacking more.
"What are you doing?" one cried, nervous.
The stranger didn't answer.
"What are you making?" one shouted even louder.
Still no response.
"Tell us!" demanded a third.
The visitor stood and spoke in the direction of the voices. "I have what you need." With that he turned to the pile at his feet and lit it. Wood ignited, flames erupted, and light filled the cavern.
The cave people turned away in fear. "Put it out!" they cried. "It hurts to see it."
"Light always hurts before it helps," he answered. "Step closer. The pain will soon pass."
"Not I," declared a voice.
"Nor I," agreed a second.
"Only a fool would risk exposing his eyes to such light."
The stranger stood next to the fire. "Would you prefer the darkness? Would you prefer the cold? Don't consult your fears. Take a step of faith."
For a long time no one spoke. The people hovered in groups covering their eyes. The fire builder stood next to the fire. "It's warm here," he invited.
"He's right," one from behind him announced. "It's warmer." The stranger turned and saw a figure slowly stepping toward the fire. "I can open my eyes now," she proclaimed. "I can see."
"Come closer," invited the fire builder.
She did. She stepped into the ring of light. "It's so warm!" She extended her hands and sighed as her chill began to pass.
"Come, everyone! Feel the warmth," she invited.
"Silence, woman!" cried one of the cave dwellers. "Dare you lead us into your folly? Leave us. Leave us and take your light with you."
She turned to the stranger. "Why won't they come?"
"They choose the chill, for though it's cold, it's what they know. They'd rather be cold than change."
"And live in the dark?"
"And live in the dark."
The now-warm woman stood silent. Looking first at the dark, then at the man.
"Will you leave the fire?" he asked.
She paused, then answered, "I cannot. I cannot bear the cold." Then she spoke again. "But nor can I bear the thought of my people in darkness."
"You don't have to," he responded, reaching into the fire and removing a stick. "Carry this to your people. Tell them the light is here, and the light is warm. Tell them the light is for all who desire it."
And so she took the small flame and stepped into the shadows.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let us be like that woman. Let us not be ashamed to stand up for Him, to shine for Him.

Winning UTAR for Christ?
How do u feel of the entire semester?
Great?
Awesome?
Fun?
Are u growing in Him in Christian Fellowship?
Do you feel unite as a Christian body for God?
I believe there are mixture feelings inside everyone's heart.. but there is one thing, are we going to stay in our comfort zone or are we going to learn and grow more for God to be the ambassador of Christ to spread the gospel of God?
In business area, word of mouth is the greatest and most efficient way in promoting products.. so, are we going to use our mouth for Him in promoting His Love, His Life, His Glory?
Let's win UTAR for Christ (Jensen, 2010).. Let's be a body which is fill with the breath of God and the Spirit of God to continue to shine for the rest of our life.. for the rest of our time in CF and in Kampar!!! Don't stop moving but keep going forward.. Take the step of faith =)
I'm looking forward for the semester to come.. so are you looking forward too??
Let's Glorify His name in many ways =)
