Youth Sunday

Last Sunday was our Youth Sunday. So, they lead the Praise & Worship...
Gave testimonies ...
... and a skit. The skit was humorous but real. It was about lives of youth, their challenges, temptation and finding the truth...
These are some of the youth.
We have a visitor, John, from JB. Welcome, brother. Whenever you are in Miri, please do drop by!
This week, I feature Duan and Angeline ... They came to Miri not long ago, settled down and starting a family. They join Michael Cell Group.

Cell Group - Duan Home warming

Our Cell Group member, Duan, finally moved into his own new home. So on 27 Feb 2009, we had our cell meeting at his place and he also organised a makan/dinner!
These are our cell members and families.
Front Row: Jeremy (Javier, Jarren), Sara (Shawna), Mitchelle (Amber), Joshua, Tim, Teresa, Grace, Adeline, William Chen
Back Row: Duan, Mike, Joshua Lee, Richard, Jack, Margaret, Peter, Angeline, William Ting
Duan ordered some nice food for the occassion...

... and he cooked his/our favorite pork leg/shank in black vinegar and soy sauce...

... and this... prepared by Wendy Tiong. Guess what is this. This is a favorite amongst local.

... and we all enjoyed the meal and a fellowship later.

Combined CG James & William

We have a combined cell group fellowship between Michael and James' groups. It was at the fellowship hall and I am pleased that many people turn up and the place is just big enough. Combined cell always involve food...

Lamb shank ... from Secret Recipe



Uncle James flagging off... children first!

He brought along two pots of shepherd pie!

Hahaha... Michael, you reminded me when my children were young. This was what I did also.

Lots of food....

Young CG members... Judy, Jennifer and ... son, Larry!

She just made it to the dean list of her university ... congratulation!

Ah... this is the difference ... do you noticed that all the boys do the washing up without being instructed? I reminded all the mums "not to interfere" other than giving encouragement! They did a very good job! I am very proud of them.

A time of praise and worship.



Then we were split into ladies and men groups for the bible knowledge challenge on the book of Mark...

I know right from the beginning that the ladies will probably beat the men... why? One the them read the book of Mark no less than 3 times!

The men team came in second (???)... also got prize!

Then our honourable judge, Min Hung, was given something for appreciation.

Richard gave testimony.

Brother Gary told us how he became a Christian and joined a CG. He is Richard's son.

Our leader for the evening.

Sister Jennifer gave her testimony too.

Grace gave her testimony as well ....

brother Duan...

... also Victor. He typed his testimony as not many of us understand sign language. I understand some very basic sign...

Finally Michael.... We have a great evening, rounding off with prayers for those who needed it, eg, the sick, etc.

DUMC Dream Centre and Cell Training in Miri
It has been exactly a year that DUMC moved to the current premises call Dream Centre. It is a place for anyone and anytime.

The outside of the centre... spacious and modern design.

Inside the main hall with the capacity to seat 1000s of people...

A Sunday celebration in progress...

A well equipped bookstore ...

One of my favourite pastors at Dream Centre... Ps Chris Kam!

He brought his team here over the weekend to provide training on cell church.
Ps Chris, youth chief - Nicholas Chong, Zone leader - Simon

A pity that I came to know about it only last night. I went there... Ps Chris was surprised to see me ... he called out "William... ooo he is DUMC associate!" while he was on stage. Thanks, Ps Chris...

With the youth leaders of SIB Miri

Nic is immensely popular here, even though he is here for only a weekend. He has that special charisma in him.... wao.... a really blessing indeed!
