Band of Brothers and Simply Women Dance Performance

Jared~~

Hey yea! It's been awhile since I last posted something... Ive been quite busy these few weeks, winter is now over, mid semesters are coming soon, involvement in church are just a blessing to me....

Dance! Thats what I have been doing a lot, previously I danced together with my group in the Multicultural Fiesta and the video is posted on the Project Passion Blog, check it out the link is in our sidebar under blogs I follow...

So the most recent event was the Band of Brothers and Simply Women organised by Campus Christian Movement and also Hope Brisbane Church. It was really good and we brothers enjoyed each other's company as we work together hiking up Mount Cootha. Well the girls had different events such as making up, self defence and also dance.

Well on Sunday, committees asked us to put up a performance for this event, and in 2 weeks we actually choreographed the moves and practiced it.. Its really awesome to see how God's hands move as we only had very little time and we manage to put up a good show.. here's the vid...

And theres more still to come! Im currently working thru my way into worship team here.... which is hard considering how big the church is... ^^ bye off to study...

happy birthday WENE JUNE!

Jared~~

What Is a Birthday?

It's knowing you're
“somebody special” today
And waiting to see
what the hours bring your way,
Forgetting the things
that you don't like to do
And doing the things
that seem pleasant to you…
It's enjoying those
marvellous little surprises
That come from all over,
in all shapes and sizes -
a phone call or letter
that brings you delight,
warm wishes and greetings
from morning till night -
It's making a wish
as you blow candles out
And having so much
to be happy about
That you can't help but dream,
as the hours slip away,
Of many more happy
returns of the day.

Hapyy Birthday!

Wene June play again the video i posted in this blog about Jonathan's birthday.... and listen and at the same time read the poem above... enjoy the song again and happy birthday to u my friend... All the blessings unto you as you are set to be a man of God and shine His light wherever you go.... ^^

ExtraOrdinary Power of the Lord on Special people in a Small Church on a Mountain

~audrey~

Today. What an incredible, awesome day it has been. The Lord is Great. My Lord, my God is great! I want to share this with all of you and whoever else that reads this to remind what an awesome God we have. There is none other like Him. To encourage you in your walk with the Lord. Here's what happened to a very special lady in our small little church of All Soul's.

Aunty Sandra is an elderly lady that attends our church. She has gone through a whole lot in her life. Many negative things. So many sickness and cancers and hardship. She had a rough childhood. But at the age of three, she heard bells ringing and saw it coming from a church. She snicked her way into the pews at the back of the church and was mesmerized by the organs and the settings of the church. By the tender age of eight, she gave her life to the Lord. She surrendered all she had to the Lord. And since then the Lord has been with her every step of the way. The Lord has appeared to her many times, revived her from near death experiences, so many she has had. What a blessed woman she is. For someone who has suffered so much, she put all her faith and gave all her love to the Lord. In return, she is truly blessed by our God. She has sooo many stories and testimonies to share. And the Lord continues to bless her life

Her testimony she gave this Sunday morning:

"22nd of June, it was night time, John my husband and I were asleep as usual. Suddenly i heard a voice calling 'Sandra, Sandra'. I woke up half asleep. 'Sandra, Sandra'. I opened my eyes, sat up on my elbows, and there was a blue glow together with a a golden glow. And there He was, my Beloved Jesus. His face full of love. A look of love that no human can posses or show. His eyes so sharp yet full of compassion. His hair long and brown. His skin, dark. So lovely.

The Lord reached out His hand and touched my head. He said 'I bless you my child'. And just like that He was gone. I woke John up telling him what just happened. I felt my head burning, a hot sensation. John switched on the lights and looked at me and told me, 'Sandra! There's a cross on your head!'. Surely enough, on my head, a cross. Thank You Lord. Thank You."

She ripped the plaster she had on head, and there, in front of the whole congregation, she stood with a cross on her head. My jaw fell to the ground! I was amazed and shocked! Never in my life had I seen anything like this. Straight after her testimony, I had to lead in praise and worship. My hands were sweaty and shaking as I stood on front of the church. I was soo..amazed and in awe of My miraculous Lord. I got a good clear look of Aunty Sandra as she was seated right in front of me. And that just made me want to burst out in worship for God.

The Lord stamped His name, His "logo" onto Aunty Sandra. She is His. He branded her His child forever and ever and ever. It kinda looks like you know when cowboys brand their cattle with hot metal. It's incredible!

In such a small community, and such a small church, it's easy to feel discouraged. Feeling uninspired, like you're not getting spiritual input. Sometimes we feel like the Lord is not with us. Like He has forgotten us. Today, He assured us that He is right here with us. I feel big things are gonna happen in the small community of Cameron Highlands. There are already happening. We needed encouragement from the Lord and He gave it to us. Oh how He did!

May i ask if you could keep our church, All Souls' Church and the Cameron Higlands in your prayers today. Thank You!!

I serve a truly amazing, compassionate, incredible, miraculous God! Keep praising Him today and always. He deserves it wholly and fully. WOOT!!
God Bless you all! =D

Jon's birthday! 10th of June

Jared~~

Heres another update, it was our friend Jonathan's birthday and I can say it was amazing... One of the best suprises i experienced in my life... Jonathan was one of the seniors in the group so an extra special birthday suprise was planned.. I came out with a song the day before the birthday instead singing an old traditional birthday song, looked up the internet for a very suitable poem and then asked Matthew to present it. Before his surprise we gathered at eileen's house to practise the song and discuss how was the surprise gna go.. cakes baked, songs rehearsed and all ready to go! let the following video serenade you, it almost made me cry watching it again.... enjoy.....

CHORALE FANTASY by Ludvig van Beethoven

With grace, charm and sweet sounds,

The harmonies of our life,

And the sense of beauty engenders,

The flowers which eternally bloom.

Peace and joy advancing in perfect accord,

Like the alternating play of the waves;

All harsh and hostile element

Render to a sublime sentiment.

When the magic sounds reign,
And the sacred word is spoken,
That strongly engender the wonderful,
The night and the tempest divert light,
Calm without, profound joy within,
Awaiting the great hour.
Meanwhile, the spring sun and art
Bathe in the light.

Something great, into the heart
Blooms anew when in all its beauty,
Which spirit taken flight,
And all a choir of spirits resounds in response.
Accept then, oh you beautiful spirits
Joyously of the gifts of art.
When love and strength are united,
The favour of God rewards Man.
