An Awesome Week

It has been a great week!!!!...... Lots of church related programmes was on my schedule since 19th August 2008 till today (24th August 2008).





It all started with the concert by Paradise Worship from Adelaide Australia. It was an experience to see the Paradise Worship band live in Penang.

They are on their Asian tour and was in Penang for couple of days. Just for your info, Guy Sebastian (1st Australian Idol) use to be one of their worship vocalists at Paradise Community Church. We have been blessed with excellent song and music from this band who give their heart out in worship in front a crowd of over 1000 young people. Rev. Matt Heins brought the word of God with such clarity and fun. I am particularly touch with testimony that he shared of the experience that his wife had in forgiving someone. Awesome testimony. That night, over 30 youths give their life to Jesus.....I believe Heaven had a great celebration on 21st August 2008.

Couple of days earlier, I had the opportunity to get to know the band members at a dinner hosted by the organizers. The band members are a bunch of lively people. There are so much life in them and they are very passionate on what they are doing especially in worshipping the Almighty One. I thank God for bands like this whom God is using mightily to reach out to this world that is looking for hope and direction.....especially in the last days.

So to Rev. Matt Heins & Paradise Worship, thank you for coming to Penang. We are blessed. To the organizers, may the good Lord bless you abundantly in all ways.

The other highlight of the week is the 3 days of evangelistic meeting with Rev. Luis Cabral at our church, Tabernacle of Praise. He is an amazing man of God. He shared with us how God saved him from grenade attack and how God called him to full time ministry. He is a living testimony that we serve a God who is Alive and interested in our lives. Had the opportunity to know him better today over lunch and coffee. Over the short period time, I learn how simple is this man of God. Despite his heavy itinerary, he makes it a point to spend quality time with his family. That is an example to us who is always so occupied either in the rat race or in our ministry. Rev. Luis, thank you for sharing your life with us at Tabernacle of Praise. Hope to see you again in Penang.
