So often, we would never know the hard times one had gone through behind the smiles. Then, when the time is right the veil is removed from our eyes, and we understand better. Thanks Tony for sharing. Check out Tony’s story. Pause. Think about your own life. Then listen to the song. You – The…

The Word We Need: Sermon based on Hebrews 4:12-16
For all my messages nowadays I’m using Prezi as my working tool for images and texts. It fits into my Mind Map approach too. Of course, what you get on the screen in this post is the presentation minus the person (me!) working through it. That’s an important component because that’s where the message “happens”…
Revisiting BLC’s Mid-Autumn Celebration 2009
Thanks to Ben Ong for capturing our “last” meeting at the Father’s House in BLC Mooncake Festival… and the RAW difference. I echo Ben’s final words . “Farewell, The Father’s House, for now.

Covenant for Congregational Partnership / Bundes-Urkunde der Gemeindepartnerschaft – Bangsar Lutheran Church & Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirchengemeinde Lauf an der Pegnitz
So much has happened in the last one week that I haven’t even stopped sufficiently to reflect on. I’m slowing down the speed of my life starting today. Okay, perhaps fater lunch since we have a meeting with another guest from USA. But for now, I’d like to just highlight a special moment between 2…
BLC’s 1st Alternative Worship Gathering at Luther Centre 2009
Jesus Name Above All Names from Sivin Kit on Vimeo. We’re still getting used to Luther Centre. Of course, I must confess still missing the intimacy and warmth of the Father’s House in Bangsar.

Friendship Trips … so far so good.
This will be our last day up North with our final stop in Ipoh. When we were driving down from Cameron Highlands to Ipoh, we talked about the difference between traditional Mission Trips and what Claudio Oliver talks about in the video below “Friendship Trips”. I feel strongly that we need some in depth rethinking…
It was good. It is good. It will be good.
There’s always something special when we have a chance to visit Batu 20 Congregation in Cameron Highlands. Today, I saw so much joy in the children as they got a pleasant visit from the 3 member Lauf Team led by Thomas Hofmann and ELCA pastoral Intern Peter Harrits. Nothing was overtly planned and we just…

Mid-Autumn Wish for Malaysia
Join us at BLC’s Fancy Dress “Mid-Autumn” Festival where we’ll have a chance to do this! The main program is mentioned here. Maybe you’re coming because it’s the last “official” meeting the Father’s HOuse, or because you are craving for mooncake, or you wanna see some friends, or it’s a great after BLC retreat reunion,…
