In our lifetime we might have lots of people that we met and known. Some we might just know from a birthday party or over a dinner at friend's house. Each of us have also a group of good friends and buddies that we used to hang out with.
According to a research a person will averagely come across 3o thousand people in their lifetime. Its a huge numbers but how many of this people we really touch them or share the gospel with.
Imagine if we could just touch 1% would be 300 lives ... wow! that's a big different in the kingdom of God.
So the question is how to touch these lives?
Maybe here are some ideas we can take note
Pray
Pray specifically and daily for the people that God has placed in our hearts today. It is best to set aside a specific time to do so even it’s just for 5 to 10 minutes. Pray that God would show us the openings and the needs in their lives.
Care
Look for opportunity to express care in a practical way, especially where we are able to touch and meet their needs. It can be as simple as writing a card of encouragement, inviting them for a meal or offering a listening ear.
Share
As we discover the needs and concerns in the person’s lives we can share similar experiences that we have and how Jesus has helped us in those situation. We can even share relevant scripture passages which can comfort or encourage the person. What we want to convey is that there is a God who loves us and care for us and it’s interested getting involve in our lives.
Invite
We look for suitable opportunities to invite our friends for various activities that might help them in the area of their needs. Care group is a good place to start.
Hope this can help us be more effective servant in our soul ministry! Amen!

why EVANGELISM is important
1 God said so! Matt 28:19-20
How true! Evangelism is not my idea or an idea made up by a pastor for church expansion. It is straight from the heart and mouth of our heavenly Father.
2 Satan hates it! Acts 4:12, Rom 6:23
Evangelism is a vehicle that God has given us to rescue people from going to hell. Satan wants everyone to go to Hell but God wants everyone to be with Him in Heaven.
3 Jesus brings true peace and fulfilment. Ephesians 2:17, John 14:27
Nothing in this world can be more satisfying and fulfilling than knowing and experiencing God’s love through Jesus Christ.
4 The Artwork is incomplete. Acts 1:1, 2 Corinthians 5:17-20, Romans 10:14
We are chosen by God to bring a slice of heaven onto earth. Since the fall of humanity, God has been at work bringing reconciliation between Himself and humankind. We are God’s chosen instruments to complete this task.
5 Expression of love and gratitude towards God. 2 Corinthians 5:9, James 2:14-18
Love for God has to be expressed through obedience and action. Love and action must go hand in hand. We witness because we love God.
6 Faith-growing experience. Philemon 6
Winning souls can be the most exhilarating thing to do for God. Why? The Holy Spirit is with us. We are not alone. Jesus said signs and miracles will follow those who preach the Good News

In touch with Jesus
We want our life to get in touch with Jesus everyday. Every time God’s people gather together on Sunday to worship and seek after Him, there will be something great happening.
So what is the great thing? Bible says that if two or more people gather together in His name He will be with us. Indeed God’s presence is with us today. In His presence we will see healing, deliverance, revival, breakthrough and also victory. So bro and sis, are you ready to receive all these great things from Jesus?
Just ask from Jesus, seek Him and He surely will show you great things this morning. I pray that you will receive His great ‘stuffs’ today throughout the service. May this morning be another day of new experience in our Lord Jesus! Amen!

Happy New Year 2009
Happy New Year 2009! It’s the first Sunday of the year again. Most people get excited about new year because it’s time of celebration and also starting a new calendar.
Moving from 2008 to another new year, it is good to reflect back on what our Lord has done for us throughout the year. It is time for thanksgiving and offering all our good and bad to God.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus
I believe this year will be an exciting year for us as we continue to reap the harvest for Jesus. Let us use our time wisely and make the best opportunity to advance the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 5:15-20
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
Let us look forward to a new beginning in our spiritual journey in Christ. Let us have a new encounter, a new experience and also a new miracle in our life. Amen!
