New Year Thanksgiving Prayer January 1, 2010 @ 0900 hrs

Posted by Editor on 26 December 2009

For the past three years, a special prayer session was held on January 1. Those who attended found it an enriching spiritual experience. Once, we had a family from India joining us.
With this in mind, we shall stage this once again. Please come and join us for a time of thanksgiving for all good things and blessings God has bestowed on us for 2009. And what can be a better thing to do than to spend the first day of the year in prayers!

International Carol Evening

Posted by Editor on

The International Carol Evening will be held on the first Sunday of Advent – 29th of November 2009. This is our church’s annual family event which starts at 6pm in the church sanctuary. The congregation is asked to prepare one or two Christmas carols according to their nationalities (all this is done prior to the event) and to present a sampling of each country’s Christmas songs tradition to everyone who attends that evening. In the past, we have had the Indonesians singing carols from Indonesia, the Australians and Kiwis singing their own southern hemisphere Christmas carols, the North Americans singing Frosty the Snowman, etc… you get the idea, now. The International Carol Evening is a fun-filled family evening to just enjoy and usher the spirit of Christmas in. Hurry, and don’t miss the opportunity of sharing your country’s beloved Christmas tunes with us by participating in this event. Register your group’s interest in singing/dancing with Lisa Ho (email: ) and join in the fun. We would also like to encourage people to bring light snacks (ie. biscuits / cookies / mince pies) or finger-foods that are specifically from their own countries to share with each other after the evening ends at around 7.30pm. Don’t miss out on the chance to know your neighbour better by joining in the International Carol Evening when the love of Christ and His birth binds all nations of the world together.

Let your performance, to paraphrase Hudson Taylor, points toward the “illustrious Master” rather than “His humble servants”

Rev. Peter Chin, former GPM ESP Moderator, Senior Pastor and Founder of GEPC, has done so much for the Lord and His Church. Somebody described it as follows, “work is also in many chinese speaking young adults (his wife mentioned his strategy is wherever there is a Unitar mini campus, nearby, on the first floor of a shoplot – there would be a ministry – hence cells in Ipoh, Kampar, Kulai, Pontian, etc). Also assists in teaching within BM work in Muar, Johor, Pontian, Kluang, Senai, Skudai and Batu Pahat. The ministry also has co-planted 2 cells in (Baray, Koh Kong) Cambodia.”

Peter has suffered a massive stroke and undergone several operations. The fund raising is for his medical expenses which now stands at +RM100,000.00. Prayers are for his healing, family and the ministries that he has planted. The followings are the prayer requests for his family and that the ministries that he has started shall continue:

Pray for family Mrs Chin, Shawn (13), Chara (5) who would be adjusting as they relocate. They would be moving to Mrs Chin’s parents base, where her father is a elder and retired pastor with Klang Methodist this week or the next. Children would also be changing schools etc.

Rev Chin’s son – Shawn ,13, would be very keen to be involved even with the leg work. He is currently adjusting as the family would be moving to Klang.

They are praying that the work will continue, that the Lord would raise up people to lead various ministries planted. So far, leaders have been raised up and delegated for Ipoh and Kampar cells. 2 weeks ago, a week after the stroke, Pastor Diani took Rev Chins place to lead 1 team into Cambodia for the 2 cells, so the work is trying to continue as per normal as much as possible.

More details of his situation are on Gospel Esplosion Presbyterian Church’s website – http://gepckl.blogspot.com/ and Jacob Liaw’s Twitter – http://twitter.com/JacobLiaw

From what started as just a simple email on Sunday 31 May, 2009 about the possibility of a fund raising concert in respond to Andrew Siew’s email from Synod, Pastor Chua Hua Peng quickly gave us Logos KL’s support. Pastor Kong Chi Hai, GPM Synod Moderator, has also confirmed that he would be able to make it. Pastor Wong Fong Yang is helping us with the program. Pastor Richard Tok has also volunteered to help us out. The Logos Choir, Beacon Presbyterian Church, Doulos Presbyterian Church, San Ren Xin, SAVE (St Andrew’s band) and GEPC band (Peter Chin’s church) have all indicated their participations. St Andrew’s KL Youth band, Solid Rock will come back from Tapah for it. The Lord is gathering His people. We believe the Lord wouldn’t want it any other way. We’ve to do something. Even though it is a combined effort of several GPM churches who felt moved to do something for Peter, it is actually more than just for Peter – it could have been anyone of us, particularly for pastors like Peter who are in the “frontline”.
