Shalom All,
Greetings in the Lord Jesus Name!
May I first begin by sharing the happy news that I have been offered a chance to study towards a Doctor of Ministry (Christian Studies), that is, D.Min, on a scholarship.
I have 2 - 3 years to complete this correspondence course. Meanwhile, I can still continue my mission work. At the same time, I am also pursuing a Diploma in Healthcare and Social Welfare to further equip myself in counseling. Indeed, God is good all the time!
With regard to my earlier report “Future Mission Plan”, so far I have received little feedback from you all - can I have more feedback from you about this proposed plan I have?
We need to work together in step with God. So let us all work and pray together to reach our common goals in serving the Lord.
Proverbs 16 verse 9 says: “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps”.
Jenny and I might not attend the Don Moen’s Worship Concert on August 3rd, 2010, as we are a bit short on funds, and it is an expensive event too!
The Word of God to remind ourselves, Proverbs 4 verses 23 to 27 said "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil". Our heart, our feelings of love and desire, dictates to a great extent how we live because we always find time to do what we enjoy. Solomon tells us to guard our heart above all else, making sure we concentrate on those desires that will keep us on the right path. Make sure your affections push you in the right direction. Put boundaries on your desires, don't go after everything you see. Look straight ahead, keep your eyes fixed on your goal, and don't get sidetracked on detours that lead to sin.
God bless!
