FBC Family Camp 2015

Last weekend, on 22nd and 23rd Aug 2015, our church had our family camp at Dynawood Beach Stay, Semantan.  It was about one and the half hour drive from Kuching.

It was a great family camp and everyone had a great time of fellowship and also great foods!  Thanks to our brothers Thomas, Nelson, Nick, and Sisters Nancy, Jenny, Hwei Choo, and many others who put in much work marinating as well as bar be queing the meats.  We had chicken wings, lamb, crabs, corn, and sausages.

We had beach games for everyone.  After dinner on Saturday, we sat down and sang many songs, thanks to Brother Paul Wong who played the guitar and also our comedian Kristie Pui.

Of course we listened to a message by our invited speaker Pastor Wong Chee Keong, from Charis Church, KL.

All in all a great camp!

A Christian Reaction to Same Sex Marriage

Recently the US Supreme Court approved same sex marriage in the US.  This is a landmark decision.  But what is it meant for Christians?

It is more blessed to give than receive

The teaching of Jesus about giving appeared to be contrary to logic, but indeed His Words are true even to this day.  Recently an experiment was conducted in Malaysia to ascertain how the general public react to giving and receiving from strangers.  It is heart warming to learn that many people have the heart for helping others and they do not mind giving.  Even the poor are willing to give.

It is very touching to watch how the Nepalese workers are willing to give a beggar even though they do not earn much and their families back home are in dire needs of their monetary support.  The matters are worst now that many of their families suffered from the recent earthquake in Nepal.  Many are now homeless.

Watch the following video of the experiment done in Malaysia recently:



On the flip side, there is a video of a "beggar" who gives the money to strangers who pass by instead of he receiving the money from the strangers.  Some people were rude, some could not understand, but best of all some insisted on giving the "beggar".

Just like Jesus taught : Acts 20:35 " In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

FGA 36th Anniversary

On 12th April 2015 FGA, Kuala Lumpur celebrated their 36th anniversary at Bukit Jalil stadium in Kuala Lumpur.  Personally I am a part of this great Church because I was baptized there more than 10 years ago and I still have many brothers and sisters worshiping in this Church.  As I gathered, the 36th anniversary was a tremendous event especially in terms of out pouring of the Spirit and the number of participants.  All in about 13,000 participated in this event.  If I am not mistaken, this was one of the biggest Christian gatherings in Malaysia.  It was an unprecedented worship and celebration event.

Pastor Philip Mantofa, the pastor of Mawar Sharon Church of Indonesia preached at this event.  When he made an altar call, 6,000 participants rushed forward to the front stage!  Hallelujah!  that had not been seen in Malaysia before!  All glory to God!
