Go watch FACING THE GIANTS

We did something different for cell this week... we watched a movie at Justin Ooi's church, World Harvest in Sunway.

The movie was titled "Facing the Giants". check it out http://www.facingthegiants.com

The movie is exactly as its title describes. It is an inspiring story of a strugging football coach and how he challenges his team to overcome adversity. The characters in the movie each battle their own demons to get through the toughest challenges in their lives, family struggles, betrayal, work place stress, lack of confidence, fear, insecurity, disappointment, illness, physical challenges.

Their struggles are very real and so is their fear. They want to do the right thing but are disappointed when they see no results. They want to break free from their circumstances, but are paralyzed by fear. The odds were stacked against them, but they finally decided to choose to look to God and put Him above all else. With that difficult decision, comes peace and release.

It was amazing to see them make the transition from failure to victory and fear to trust. I was truly blessed, uplifted, encouraged, challenged, touched, and inspired by this movie.

As the movie progresses, it just keeps getting better and better. The scriptwriter did a fantastic job with continually hitting us with good feelings on top of good feelings. God is praised throughout the movie and the action is fun to watch.

Four words for you.....GO SEE THE MOVIE!

see how energized we all felt after watching it

in the end, the simplest things are the most important.

"ask and you shall receive. seek and you shall find."
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
"trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding"
"let us love one another as He first loved us"

We are a chosen nation, a royal priesthood. Each specially formed, called and set apart for His purpose.

Be encouraged!

Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones But Words Can Break My Spirit

Negative comments often drag down our spirit. And words spoken in anger are often regretted but seldom repairable. But a gentle word turns away anger and kindness is a balm that heals. Love covers a multitude of sins.

Let's encourage one another with our words. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. No wonder that in our fallen world; it is more common to find people speaking with sarcasm, envy, bitterness, and gossip rather than words of encouragement and healing.

Instead, let us speak words of love, encouragement, healing, comfort. Words to build us up, to draw us close, to magnify God, to praise Him.

I apologize to anyone if i've ever hurt anybody unintentionally with my words. I never meant to do so, and truly feel sorry if it has ever happened. Please forgive me.

Lord, keep watch over the gate of our mouths, that nothing will displease you from our speech, that we will not cause anyone to stumble.

Report of Transit Montly Committee Meeting (July)

Introducing: the Transit Note Book a.k.a the TNB
No more inefficiency!
No more mistaken communication!
No more forgetting dates!
No more uncertainty!
No more indecisiveness!

We now have a system to achieve more effecient Transit planning and conducting of activities. Every leader has a notebook in which all information is noted down. There are tabs for each important section, and in future we may even have color codes.

We are updating our system to bring you more efficient service. We are restructuring our priorities as God changes our heart. He is leading us in a new direction.

From now on, there will be more emphasis on:

1. System

2. Integration

We will achieve better results if we're organized. God is a God of order, as you can see from how He created the world, gave instructions for building the temple, the 10 commandments, etc. So, we try to be more systematic in future, without going overboard into being rigid.

Although flexibility and spontaneity is one of our strongest points, we strive in future to be more systematic. This involves:

• Planning ahead of time
• Consistency in sticking to the plan
• Communication of the plan between each other and to others
  

Integration is also high on our list of priorities. In Psalms it says "how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity". God is pleased when there is integration between people, He commanded "love one another, in this way others will know that you love me". When we show our love and care to our neighbour, we are being Christ-like. Remember, this includes loving ALL kinds of people.

The church is the only organisation which exists for its non-members. Transit activities are ongoing in order to attract non-members, not to please current members. Outsiders are the priority, not insiders.

There are a large group of existing members or those who join us occasionally, who need to be tapped in to. We seek to draw them in to our group and not keep Transit as an exclusive club for a few friends. Being friendly and open is the first step to a real relationship with the people we target. How can we impact the world for Christ if we can't even smile and greet a stranger? Would an outsider want to share their lives with us if we're not even paying them attention after Sunday service?

Thinking back, what was it that made us get involved? Were there people who cared for us and befriended us? It makes so much difference to have a friend in church ratehr than just attend service. So let's take that extra effort to make newcomers feel welcome, so that they can become a part of us.

• We must learn to accept all kinds of people, even those we find it hard to get along with
• We take the first step, not wait for the other person
• Being friendly is everyone's duty, not just the ushers

Please pray for us as we continue to seek the Lord and seek to do right. Pray for Transit leadership as we move into a new phase of upgrading our system and integrating with the new wave of people. May God shine through in all we do.
