Our week of prayer was a remarkable moment of revival and refreshment from God. I am still overwhelmed with joy as I look back each morning seeing God's people come to God's house to pray. In prayer, we poured out our hearts as well as listened to God. Honestly, that sacred week flew by without even being noticed. Truly, where the Spirit of God is, there is liberty! Let me encourage you all to make prayer your highest calling... and your greatest privilege.
See the wonder of God hearing the prayers of the weak each time we gather for prayers during our prayer meetings. I look forward for more mornings like this in church. I am praying that the fire of prayer will never be quenched in our hearts and in our homes. It is on our knees that we see things clearly. It is with brokenness of hearts that we relinquish our rights and gladly take our responsibilities to serve each other and the community as well.
As for our desire to have a welfare center, the Lord redirected us as we called on His name. We have decided to pray for one more month... this time, prying that God will guide us as decide whether the welfare center will be in the church. Therefore, we are seeking God's guidance as to when we start building it ... plus the attendant renovation of the whole church. This is scary. We call on all to pray and let us cross this Jordan together! What is clear though is that the church agrees not to loan or to pressure people to give via pledges. It is God's conviction in our hearts to simply trust God to bless His people and finish the task. In the years ahead, we look forward to our church being a place where prayer is a priority and service to the community is its expression ... that all may know Jesus loves them.
HALLELUJAH HE IS THE ANSWERING GOD!
Prayerfully,
REV. ARNEL C. TAN
