« No More Back Pains | Index | A Calling to minister to Australia »

A milestone in my life!

August is a great month. I was officially welcomed into the Australian Christian Churches as an Ordained Minister with the Assemblies of God. This is a significant milestone for me - personally and for the family. It complete my transition journey from the Corporate world into the Clergy world! Praise God.

Five years on into ministry and I can now fully function as a Reverend - an ordained minister of the Gospel. Isn't God good? I am hoping that my transition would be a challenge, an inspiration for others to follow a similar track - yes, you can do it.

My heart-felt thanks to many mentors who assisted me in my journey into the ministry. They have been a great source of encouragement and help. Thanks especially to three pastors who recommended me for this honour - Dr. Kameel Majdali, Ps Enzo Maisano and Ps Phil Ward.

Indonesia

I had a great time in Indonesia. I was there for 12 days ministering in Surabaya, Malang and Jakarta. It was great to catch up with Pak Ferdi and his wife, Wiwik. They were great hosts.

Pak Ferdi is doing well - and soon he'll be very involved in a Christian TV Station in the nation. I am praying that God will use him wonderfully.

Surabaya

I ministered at GBI ROCK, Surabaya in two services. Praise God for the boldness of his people in Indonesia. I was very pleased to see so many people responding to the Word of the Lord. Many were standing in response to the challenge and conviction of the Word.

SIAGA SATU

Again I was privileged to minister in this Youth Leaders Camp in Kota Batu, East Java. There was a little problem at the camp and we had to relocate - I ended sharing to over 200 Young Leaders in a Malang hotel. It was great to see young people dedicating and committing to the Lord at the altar....always good to see young people laying their lives for God. You never know what will happend next...

Fancy meeting Ps Chris Hope and his team in Surabaya! That's exactly what happened. God is wonderful - we met and my friend Pak Ferdi was able to assist them to have a tour of Bethany Church - 30,000 strong church in Surabaya!

I had a great camp with Ps Philip and Monica Lee. The camp was held at Gunung Geulis, Bogor. It was the most beautiful camp site I have ever seen. It was picture-perfect!

The Holy Spirit was in the camp - man, did God moved! Many were touched by the Holy Spirit. Many came to me to say that they were so touched by the Lord. The final sermon on Sunday morning about "Finishing Well" was a real punch - many were at the altars in tears and renewing their lives for God.

Two lovely ladies - miracles are happening for them!

This church had been very generous towards my ministry. They gave me a large offering! What a generosity!! No wonder God showed up!

I had prophetic words for many - one wrote me straight after camp to say thanks! I had words for the pastors too.....well, let's watch this space!

No Mention of Name Country

I had a great time - my 4th visit - with this wonderful church. Great time of ministry as well. I conducted a Gifting Workshop, work with the core leaders and minister to the Young People and the Chinese congregation. Awesome time!!

Miracles - in 30 days

I was last there in March 07 when the Lord gave the above word - and got some really good feedbacks on miracles, signs and wonders from individuals - Awesome God!

One lady said Jesus touched her shoulder while I was praying....she was crying...and what a change!

Another said the family waited for 1 year for their Australian migration visa - and it came one week after the meeting.

Yet another wrote to say that after 3-4 years of separation from her Mum, the relationship was miraculously mended. Now mother-daughter are on talking terms! Praise God.

I had a real connection with the leadership here and have been invited back again for early next year - to do a ground up strategy work with the core leaders.

Home Sweet Home

I came back to Melbourne exhausted but happy....praise God.
