GLN Singapore

Our church back home adopted the Trinity Christian Centre carecell model a couple of years back. Now we are in full swing implementing this carecell model and I am glad that our home church is investing in us by sending us down south to Singapore to learn. This is my third trip here to learn about from TCC.

I must says that every time that I am here, I am blessed, both spiritually and also 'physically'. They never fails to feed us with good food and up to five time a day! Well, feed the soldier well before they go for war! :)

However, I believe coming down for this conference is more than just learning about the model, techniques and tools but the spirit behind serving and ministry is very important. I asked myself, why this model works? Is this the only carecell model? Can't I learn all this back at home?

However, the whole 3 days that I had spend here change the way how I look at ministry. I believe, we are in ministry because it's a privilege to partner with God and serve Him! Do I want to miss out this opportunity to serve and partner with Him in the ministry of reconciliation that He has entrusted us?

I also asked myself other countless questions such as how should I serve as a servant leader yet I leave a good impact and lasting impression among my member? How can I do thing differently if I am given a choice to change things? Where do I picture myself to be in 5 years time? What else can I serve Him?

For those who read this, I leave this thought with you, how can you serve Him differently using all the give that He has given you? Our blessing comes by releasing and using things that He has blessed us with and equipped us!

P1 WIGGY

After the initial trial pack was distributed to us, I went back to the HQ to have it change. There are some problem with the initial batch. However, I must say that the P1 staff really work fast to sort out the technical problem faced.

The second batch of WIGGY was in better package. I love the metal box and it nicely decorated too.

Once I received the latest WIGGY, I tried to go online, but I can't. Later, when I called them, they informed me that I can't do it around the P1 Paddock area because they are testing out two frequencies for the WiMax broadband. Thus this explain the problem for the modem to locate the right IP address.

I manage to connect the modem after moving away from the HQ. So, with my wife in the car with me, we decided to have a trial test drive with WIGGY. We drove from P1 WiMax HQ all the way back to Kajang.

The modem is built to have seamless connection as your travel but we soon realise that it wasn't so. We get disconnected about 10 times. Each time, it takes about a minute to two to be connected again. I was told it did not disconnect when they try driving with the modem around.

Anyway, currently, P1 is having their promotion for WIGGY. They had not sell it at their HQ but only through PC Fair

So, do go the the PC Fair fast to get this promotion. Buy a WIGGY and get the notebook free.

Easter March in Kajang

By GEETHA KRISHNAN


A CROWD of 2,000 is expected to participate in the 2009 Easter March in Kajang on Saturday.

The march is a combined effort of 23 main and independent churches of various denominations around the Hulu Langat district. The aim is to seek God’s blessings, protection and provision for the district, the state of Selangor and the nation as a whole, with emphasis on unity and good governance.

Themed “One Body, One Spirit, One Lord”, the march will start at 3pm at the Holy Family Church on Jalan Gereja after an opening prayer. It will end at 6pm following one hour of prayer, worship and fellowship at the Holy Family Hall.

For a good cause: Around 1,900 people participated in the 2007 Easter March around Kajang.

Organising committee chairman pastor V. Ravichandran said the route would cover Jalan Gereja, Jalan Bukit, Jalan Semenyih, Jalan Mendaling and the town centre with the crowd stopping at various spots to pray.

He also said priests, pastors and church elders would lead the march, which was open to all, young and old. The colour code for the afternoon will be red T-shirts.

“In the past marches, we were grateful for the police support we received to help control the crowd and to march in an orderly manner without disrupting traffic. We hope for similar support this year and would like to thank the force in advance,” he added.

The 2009 Easter March will be the 14th of its kind. It was held annually but since 2005, the march has been held biennially. The march was initiated by the Kajang Assembly of God (KAOG).

However, come on that day the turned out wasn't as expected in the newspaper but non-the-less disappointing. We had a turn out 1, 240 people from 26 participating churches around Hulu Langat.

The Easter march had started annually aimed to pray for the town of Kajang and also for the state of Selangor and the nation. We believe we have to pray for our town and nation, for peace and also for prosperity .

As usual, we started the march with a time of worship in the Church of Holy Family in Kajang. After that, we start to march about 3.45pm with the help of the Kajang Police to control the traffic.

In the beginning, it was scorching hot, but when we started to march, there were clouds and the weather was just so good. The rain did not come as how many expected but just a few drops toward the end of the march.

We sang and pray along the way throughout the march around Kajang town. It was just such an awesome experience and time. The march also bring some euphoria to many people and this is what you get too...

Anyway, during the Easter march, we literally and physically paint town red!

P1 Wimax WIGGY Sneak Preview

I travelled so much lately and with my work, it's essential to get connected.

I simply need to be connected all the time, either to check my mail or even to chat and obviously to get my data uploaded every time I do my research.

Yesterday, P1 Wimax decided to lauch its latest product, the WIGGY! It's a matchbox size modem. One wonderful thing about P1 is that they invited the bloggers to cover the event.

USB modem has been around for a while and there are a few companies that has been providing this services. And I think this is definitely a great service to have, especially for people who are so mobile.

Looking at the modem, it's just simply so nice to hold and compact, just the right size for pocket and for travelling. No wonder its light.powerful.sexy.in your pocket.misc 122

After the event, the bloggers took some time to test the product.

Too bad, the coverage for wimax has not reach Kajang as its only up to Mahkota Cheras now. I am hoping it will reach Kajang soon, if not, the free 3 months trail that I received will be a waste! Anyway, tomorrow, I will take it with me for a ride to Banting, Klang and PJ for my work. I guess I will be able to test it out. Come this Friday, I will be in Cheras, and I hope I can use it too...because, I know the place I am going don't have cellphone network coverage!
