Hope 107 FM

Praise the Lord for a wonderful Youth Commissioning Mass today. Will put up photos and video of Bro. Jovita's sharing soon! Keep Watch!

Meanwhile, I just discovered this radio channel recently. Hope 107 FM. Go listen. When it's not in Indonesian, it is broadcasting christian music and sometimes it there are also some sermons broadcasted.

Though we catholics are pretty careful when it comes to things that are so called 'protestant' in origin, that is not the point here. The point is, there is christianity found on our secular radio channels.

It might be a nice break once in a while from your usual 98.7 or 98.0 FM..

And just another quote for today:
A. W. Tozer once wrote, "It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until he has hurt him deeply." God has a mission for your life and mine. But before we can carry out that mission, we will often go through the boot camp of adversity. If this is where you find yourself today, ask God to give you His grace to walk through this time with you. He promised He would never leave or forsake us.

Sury's New Appointment at SACCRE Youth

Dear YAM & friends,

We would like to update you all of the latest news!

YAM took part in SACCRE Elections yesterday at IHM Parish Hall, as 2 of our members, Eugene Wee and our current coordinator Suryadi, were nominated for the position of Youth Councillor for Parish based groups. The parish based groups are -- YAM (OLPS), Emmaus (St. Mary of the Angels), Encounter Youth Ministry (Risen Christ), Ignite (Holy Trinity) and Zion's Joy (IHM)); while non-parish based groups (currently comprising Living Stones Campus Outreach, Amplify Ministry, Jesus Youth and NTU Charismatic Prayer Group).This was a one-man post previously, filled by Iwan, but it has been expanded to two for the 2009-2010 term, with a new position for a second youth councillor to represent parish-based groups in SACCRE Youth.

After a time of prayer, the youth ministry leaders present yesterday elected Gerald Tham from Living Stones as the Youth Councillor for Non-Parish based groups and Sury as Youth Councillor for Parish based groups. So moving ahead, they will sit in the new SACCRE Council meetings, chaired by Peter Hung (St. Ignatius) with Jessica Francisco (Risen Christ) as Vice-Chairperson.

We ask all of you for your prayers and continued support for YAM and for Sury, as he takes on this new appointment. Rest assured, he will remain committed as coordinator of YAM and continue to contribute to the youth ministry in OLPS.

Dear all,

This is my song dedication to you all this week.

You know, i was reading my old blog posts, and realised i had blogged about this in my blog in DEC 2004! Woah! ANyway,.. it's really fun reading one's old blog posts (for those of you who blog!), it's like going back and remembering exactly how you felt then... and seeing how far you've come. It's like a spiritual journal!

So.. this song... is for all of you, who are "tired"... as well as those who are "starting".. as the last part goes, "a perfect place, for a new beginning."

All Praises To The King
by Hillsong (Faithful)

What a joy I feel to think about forever
I'm a child of God
with blessings from Heaven
By your side, days always brighter
The Holy one
My Master
My Father

I will dwell in your courts
I will sing for you
you're my deepest love
Jesus
I love you

It's a love song I sing
It's an anthem from my heart
All praises to the King
From the depths of my soul
I adore you my saviour
All praises to the King

I am not alone
Jesus
You're near me
Washed me clean with hands full of mercy
You're a resting place for all who are weary
A perfect place
and a new beginning

Knowing and Doing God's Will

TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2, by Os Hillman
01-11-2009

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight (Prov. 3:5-6).

George Mueller was a pastor in England during the nineteenth century who knew what it meant to live a life that was focused on knowing and doing the will of God. God led him in a walk of faith that has become an incredible testimony to all who hear his story.

Whenever he lacked for something, he prayed for the resources. During his ministry in Bristol, England, George built four orphan houses that cared for 2,000 children at the time. When he died at the age of 93, over 10,000 children had been provided for through his orphanages, and he had distributed over eight million dollars that had been given to him in answer to prayer.

How did he know and do the will of God?

"I never remember a period that I ever sincerely and patiently sought to know the will of God by the teaching of the Holy Ghost, through the instrumentality of the Word of God, but I have been always directed rightly." Here is how George summed up the way he entered into a "heart" relationship with God and learned to discern God's voice:

1) "I seek at the beginning to get my heart into such a state that it has no will of its own in regard to a given matter.

2) Having done this, I do not leave the result to feeling or simple impression. If so, I make myself liable to great delusions.

3) I seek the will of the Spirit of God through, or in connection with, the Word of God. The Spirit and the Word must be combined.

4) Next, I take into account providential circumstances. These often plainly indicate God's will in connection with His Word and Spirit.

5) I ask God in prayer to reveal His will to me aright.

Thus, (1) through prayer to God, (2) the study of the Word, and (3) reflection, I come to a deliberate judgment according to the best of my ability and knowledge, and if my mind is thus at peace, and continues so after two or three more petitions, I proceed accordingly."*

Consider these five steps when discerning God's voice in your life.

YAM Day of Recollection

It seems that time flew by so fast since our last post. Christmas came, went, and there was the OLPS Youth Christmas Party, UberVoonderKool. Then New Year and today, we are awaiting YAM's Day of Recollection this Sunday. Keep the leaders in prayer where we meet and discern what we will focus on for this year ahead!

Cheers!
