We had out combine ex sheep and current sheep outing today for the purpose of celebrating Brandon and Sentosa belated birthday celebration! :D

Thank God for Wei Loong for being extremely willing to organzie this event! :)

But far more than thanking the people, i would say that all of us have enjoyed the entire time we spent together! From the BK, to the usual coffee shop, the memories we recollected in 859 and Brandon House!

I am thankful to have such wonderful friends running this entire race with me.

Serving the same powerful God though in different places.  :)

I :) because i have great buddies that have been running this race with me.

I :) because God has placed these buddies to hear me out when i’m boiling or melting inside.

I :) because no amount of money or gifts can buy this friendship.

I :) because i seriously know that i am not alone in this race.

I :) because i know that when i go the wrong path, they will always be there to bring me back to God

I :) because we caught up few hours ago and talked over a table with fish ball noodles till we past mid night!

I :) because we want to go bangkok together.

I :) because we were in the same care group before.

I :) because i remember how we were so desperate in becoming care leaders.

I :) because we were there in our first north camp.

I :) because i am just so thankful that i have buddies like you running this race with me for more than 7 years already and still counting.

Lastly, I :) because i thank God for BK AND DK in my life!

Isn’t it such a great Joy to run this race with people having the same heart beat as you?

We served God since the days we were wearing shorts and had shepherding at same place and not forgetting the S11 coffee shop! Gosh, i enjoyed every moment of my care group! It was in care group, where memories like these were formed.

*i did my best to link whoever i can from NORTH C!:D

my loves
July 8, 2009, 6:36 pm
Filed under: convictions, family, friends, race

I don’t have many reasons to explain my love for north c but the following few reasons are good enough! :D

North C is made up of people who are simply imperfect and struggle at times with the things of the world. In short, NC is made up of real people like you and me. What makes us different is simple, we have a heart that is soft before God and will turn back to repentance when we have head the wrong way.

In short, people who simply treasure this relationship with God.  A heart that is never to far for God to reach.

North C is made up of not just people who have a heart that God can reach, but a people who are filled with so much potential in Christ. The ability to lead, influence and help others to become who God wanted them to be.

In short, North C is a place where people know who they are in God and become what God has wanted them to be.

North C is a family that is fun, supporting each other and always seek and do our best to draw people back to God.

The following photos you will see are the lives that build up who north c really is. More than a unit, we seek to spread God’s influence throughout woodlands area and to other ends of the island and in no time Church planters.

campOur very first camp

gatheringsThe don’t know how many family gatherings we had that attracted those who have not known Jesus. :)

randomshotsThe RANDOM shots :)

livesThe lives that make God smiles and so do i :)

In simplicity- I love NC not because it’s only a fun and healthy group but because we give our lives to build God’s kingdom up together. My last post states where on earth are the Goldy man and woman to lead the way, and the answer can be found in NC. We struggle but nothing will  break our love and passion for Christ.

nothing will take away- IHEARTREVOLUTION.

It keeps burning, and the fire keep spreading. :D

North C- a place where we will find who we truly are in him and become the man and woman he has wanted us to be.

all it take was two days, and i had enough of it.

stand-up

Let me make this extremely quick before i head back to camp.

I cannot help but to have this thought shouting out loud in my brain and spirit as i took the circle line home at about 7.03pm today!

All it took was the past two days and i seriously had enough of it. I’m irritated.

WILL ALL THOSE GODLY MAN AND WOMAN PLEASE STAND UP AND LEAD THE WAY?

WILL ALL THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO BE GODLY PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND MOVE WITH GOD?

Godly man and woman- i long to see you rise up to what God has called you to be.

SO WOULD YOU PLEASE STAND UP AND TAKE LEAD!

THIS GENERATION NEEDS PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO DO SO!

hoe

and finally,will you choose to be the godly man or woman of God to lead this generation?

all it take is willingness.



it was never meant to be this way

from the deepest recesses of my heart, i will say this trillions of time and mean it!

WE CAN TEACH MANY LESSONS, BUT WORD CENTERED CHURCH IS NOT MEANT TO BE TAUGHT AT ALL, IT’S SOMETHING THAT IS MEANT TO BE LIVED OUT IN OUR LIVES.

seriously, so what if we complete the eight lessons and no transformation takes place. Honestly, we will struggle but i like it.

word centredness is a CHOICE. YOU JUST NEVER FEEL LIKE BEING WORD CENTERED. GET IT RIGHT, AND GET IT CLEAR.

SO I CHOOSE TO BE WORD CENTERED.

I CHOOSE TO BE A MAN OF ONE BOOK. I CHOOSE NOT TO LIVE FOR ANYONE APPROVAL OF ME BUT ONLY HIM. I LIVE FOR THE AUDIENCE OF ONE.

LASTLY, WITH ALL MY HEART I WILL SAY THIS AGAIN: I defiantly believe in the word of God! Because i know that every word from the book will come to pass! So whatever circumstances that may  cloud my dreams for him, shall not prevail.

Because i DEFIANTLY BELIEVE AND LIVE IT OUT.

Still, i will repeat this simple fact.

I choose to be word centered though i will struggle at times.

A CHOICE AND A COMMITMENT TO LAST. It has lasted for the past 9 years, and it shall keep lasting.

i shall end here if not, you know what will happen.

if you were not there, then too :(

I would do a great sense of injustice if I do not write a short post before i go back to my urban jungle :( but still, i rejoice because it’s a place where i can personally witness people coming closer to God!

Yes, if YOU are in NORTH C and YOU were not there for the unit sports event today YOU have LOST OUT A LOT! I feel SAD for you! Because you missed out the amount of great fun we had and laughters plus some violence!

And if you were THERE, I CANNOT HELP BUT TO REMEMBER THIS

3-1 ( the points stood there for EXTREMELY LONG) :D But still, it was very fun!

More than the fun we had, we had the honour of a friend, loinel from ADSS joining us! Heys, CRIES OUT TO ALL YOU NORTH PEOPLE AND NORTH C PEOPLE!

YOU KNOW WHAT? CARE GROUP IS NOT MEANT FOR ONLY BELIEVERS! it’s an avenue for those who do not know Jesus to come to be closer to him and be connected with the community!

DREAM ON ABOUT RETENTION IF WE ONLY HARD CORE BANG BING BONG ON ESS! for many will come, and a flood will flood their way to a life that has no eternal purpose! Hence, this community that we are all building is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!

Doesn’t it feels totally different with people who have yet know Jesus in our gatherings? Yes, but we got to make it a norm. If not people, we are just lying to oursleves that we live a lifestyle of outreach!

So my beloved and violent north c, today’s event was not just fun but you know what? your fun drew others who do not know Jesus to be connected to our community of God’s love! So let’s keep it up!

I urge all of us to always have non believers in our caregroups weekly and all events!

Oh yes, if you still do not know this you better be!

EVERY WEDNESDAY

NORTH C  WILL BE HAVING OUR VERY OWN

SPORTS DAY

AT THE USUAL PLACE FROM 5-7PM

If you need to leave eariler, it’s fine! But if you don’t come, you are so going to miss out a whole deal man! :D It’s time to let down our hair in the mid week and enjoy the fellowship of captains ball and whatever game we can have! but the best part is also we will connect people to this community of fun!

If all the 4 schools just bring one weekly, thenwe will have 4 new friends weekly! So the below pictures we took today, shall expand together!

Amen! :D In near time, we will have a lot of people inyour school photos! Then we shall keep the training, and in camp we shall play with other district!

Yeah!

adss cool

why i am unstoppable
June 24, 2009, 4:11 am
Filed under: convictions, family, friends, race, random thoughts, relationships

My name is DAVID HOE TECK CHYE
And I am unstoppable

I don’t flirt with or date the church
I’m not infatuated with the church
I have no illusion that the church is perfect

What I have is a commitment to love God’s church
Not just with words but with my hands and feet
I’ll neither point finger nor look further for the answer’s in the mirror

I believe God’s not dead; He’s building the church he died for
living miracle of a bunch of imperfect people loving imperfect people
I believe God has called us to build this church without walls

My name is DAVID HOE TECK CHYE
I am a living stone of God’s church
And together we are unstoppable

-it was not an exact wholesale from PS wordpress, but i changed the name! :D

In short, my heartbeat is the same as what she writes, so might as well. :D

In short, lazy but convictions still bruning! :D

North had our very first harvester’s meet after camp yesterday! Honestly, I may have attended many meetings in my life, but i certainly love all the meetings i had yesterday! :D

Below are some stuff that our beloved Sharlene shared and it renewed and refreshed my convictions.

1. It takes one man to change the world

2. If you do not play to win, God does not want you in his team

More than the meetings, it was also the fellowship that i enjoyed that happened after that! :D I totally enjoyed the ring of circle with our food that we randomly bought from PS and we went for our window shop at cathay! :D The night was still young, and some stayed to catch a movie together with us at 955pm! We watched drag me to hell, and some of our people freaked out like cow! :D I truly enjoyed the fellowship with North C,  Sharlene and Xue Yong! :D

More than that, i had a great overnight with the wonderful friends from central! People like Keith, Jang, Yk and Joel.

Honestly, it’ss great to serve God with friends around spurring each other on! :D

This is a race made for me alone, but we have people running beside us together! So North C and anyone else, let’s continue to cheer each other on by encouraging or even at times bringing each other back to the right track.  :D

a new habit
June 18, 2009, 5:15 am
Filed under: convictions, family, friends, race, random thoughts

If you have carefully observed, i have developed a new habit while i’m serving the nation by either blog hopping or writing my wordpress between 12-1.30pm on a weekday! :D After which, i will be trying to stay awake in class listening to the one who is lecturing on law or keeping myself awake with a book! :D When all else fails- as usual, i will tend to irritate the person on my left and right! That makes time pass me by extremely fast! :D

Before i came into the lib i was feeling-  extremely :D (well, with my usual wide mouth)

After signing in to use this computer i was even :D

Once i start blog hopping from people who are in NC

1st blog- :(

2nd- wha lao

3rd- super :(

4th- super to the max :(

and it continues…

IT’S SO DEPRESSING! :(

All i could do is to look at everyone laughters and the amount of fun they were having in yesterday unit outing! AH!

i seriously i wish i could be there with you guys man! :(

But still, i must say that i’m so proud of everyone of you for making northc like a family! As we continue to build this family and shower each other with love and encouragement we will always seek and want to DIRECT AND REFLECT christ! :D

Lastly, with all my heart i must say this LOUDLY.

I LOVE MY LEADERS FOR THEY ARE AWESOME

SENTOSA, XIN RU AND JOSHUA

AND

I LOVE NORTH C!

lastly, i wish i could be in this shot!
