Don't make me lose this precious holiday without doing anything. I will be waiting for your worthy suggestion.

FAMILY

My Mum and Dad, they are in Tamenglong (Manipur) now, my Dad was in Delhi for some winter months, but as the summer heat came in, he had to move back to Manipur again, i guess he doesn't like hot and humid. Mum , she is cool, she travels a lot, covered almost all of India, i believe, except for Bihar, cities...ummmmh almost all of it. She is a teacher by profession. They are the best, to my knowledge.

I pray that God will keep them safe, give what they need and be loving to each other.

WITNESSING IN WORDS AND DEEDS

Witnessing is sharing God's love and the experience of salvation with others. It is not an academic excercise as the world is more inclined to - it is rather sharing of one's personal experience.
If someone, who has not experienced salvation or not living a faithful life tries to witness, it would turn out to be an artificial act and will not be fruitful at all. As much as a blind cannot lead another blind, a person who does not know Christ cannot witness Christ to others.
Any attempt to witness must be preceded by a transformed life. The transformation that has taken place internally would be visible ( manifested ) externally reflecting God's love to those around us. Our friends will notice the difference in us. They will first see in us what we would share with them in words. For witnessing to be effective, our words and deeds must converge and complement each other.
We cannot witness in words alone. Our deeds must speak louder than our words. They must see in us what we preach. We cannot show our faith without work ( James 2: 17-20).
Our witnessing is a spontaneous outflow of our internal belief, driven by the love of God ( 2 Corinthians 5:14 says that the Love of God constrained us..) and expressed in words.
Finally, we must glorify God in whatever we do whether in words or in deeds. ( Colossians 3:17)

WE WILL MISS HIM

Hangyul, the younger brother of Han wool will be moving for homestay with one of the Asian family, this will be happening tomorrow evening. Long story short, even though we the brothers have thought of ourselves to be old enough , the school authority have told us that we haven't reach the age to be his local guardian. In other words, the school authority proclaims, according to the article so and so of the New Zealand constitution, it implies that one should reach the age of 25 or more, older the better, to be taking care of a fully grown 16 year old boy.

On the other hand, thanking God that he got into homestay, otherwise the school authority and the government of New Zealand would have send him back to Korea. Atleast this leaves us with plenty of time to go and visit him whenever we want.
Please be praying as he will be with the new environment which is family setting. I hope that he will have a great time and enjoy the company of others.

Cheers bro, God Bless.

THIS IS FOR YOU

If you are in some damage by past abuse or feeling defeated by sin, do not be discourage (Joshua 1:9) all that degrades and limit us is only temporary. It will go some of it rather than latter. Let's take heart in what God has in store for us.

CHRISTCHURCH

Christchurch is the city where i am presently living, this is one of the beach(New Brighton) which is about 15 minutes drive from the City, this picture was taken on a bright sunny day when i was with my buddy Maris, during her lasts days out here in the city. We just went for bus ride to this beach, walk for about an hour or more,went up to the pier , watch surfers struggling, had a good laugh.
This picture reminds me of home because i would stare at the sun setting slowly and imagine all the crazy things that my brain can take. I would imagine of Lord's second coming on that huge orange clouds with loud trumpets with thousands of angels calling out every believers to join him, that would put joy in my heart, to me all of that is Glorious.
I hope to update more and more of this city and of what I am doing. Thank you, God Bless.
