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. We will see you again!” * * * It’s not every day that a church hosts a Mooncake Festival celebration service. And…
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…
It’s Really All About God
It will be interesting to see what are the reactions to Samir Selmanovic’s ideas and his book. I’m looking forward to read them 🙂
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. However, I’m thankful for some plus points at Luther Centre, PJ where we have some outdoor options. Again and again, it’s…
Christians Trying to Convert Non-Christians
Breakfast for thought (HT: Rethink Mission)
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…
Ed Stetzer & David Fitch – a missional conversation (updated with second thoughts)
Ed Stetzer & David Fitch – a missional conversation from Missional Tribe on Vimeo. I like the distinction of the church .. being attractive more than attractional. While there’s nothing I would strongly disagree with Ed Stetzer (his answers are more hurried, neat and tidy), I resonate more with how David Fitch articulates his thoughts…
Bapa Yang Kekal – Eternal Father (Reprise)
Since hearing the song “Bapa Yang Kekal” (Translation to English = Eternal Father) at the wedding I conducted for a good friend during a very trying time for the couple, this song has stuck with me since. One thing I’ve returned to more and more every birthday celebration especially after becoming a father myself, is…
