[this cool bike above is at the lobby of the resort we are in] There’s a sudden feeling of “networking” overload right now which makes me need some “unload” time right now. Thus, random thoughts return. I’m glad I’m here … at Port Dickson. I’m sensing a kind of leading of some sort. Now it’s…

Younger Leaders Gathering 2006
Finally I managed to make it for the Lausanne Younger Leaders Gathering 2006. At first I thought I was unable to make it due to multiple reasons but thanks be to God I’m here. And I’m glad to be able to get the wifi signal in our room! Here’s the YLG 06 Blog.
Am I Emerging/Emergent if I’m …?
I laughed and laughed the first time I saw this You Might Be Emerging If Apparently Brian McLaren has strong opinions on this. Hamo from Oz did his version here You TOO might be emergent which inspired me to join the fun ๐ I will take great liberty to rephrase whatever I want – as…
Emergent Echoes
Yesterday it felt good to send in a article entitled “A Quest for Authentic Faith & Community in the World Today: Eavesdropping on the “Emerging church”/”Emergent” conversation” to a local Malaysian Christian Publication.

eMo 2006.9: And What Have You Been Reading?
Funny thing is this was the first time we’ve met at a Starbucks for an emergent Malaysia open meeting (eMo for short) . I think it’s also a first for using Sunday as well. It was a small group of 9 of us this round (would have been 10 if I didn’t miss seeing an…
eMo 2006.9: Because We Miss Each Other?
Here’s the invitation I sent our via our yahoorgroup. ___________________________________________________________________ … we also don’t have any “big” thing or agenda for this round. The fact is some of us miss each other, or have new friends to introduce to one another, or are trying to keep up with our reading, etc. So, probably the main…
