Ba BA BARNABAS!!!

FRIDAY PRAYER MEETING 23 March 2007

Praise Report!!!

Barnabas speaks..

Disorganized. Not bonded. Un-united. That was what Barnabas was a year ago. Cell members came as and when they like for cell group, and when cell outings were organized, no one would be interested in going for it. Attendance went down and sometimes, there would only be a couple of members attending bible study.

Praise God for the breakthrough during YPM camp, the members were really enthusiastic and it was the start of a UNITED cell group. The camp was the 1st time everyone gelled, played many ice breakers, shared lame jokes and tricks, go through thick and thin and spent meaningful time with each other. It’s amazing how they looked forward to cell time every alternate weekend and tried to keep that time free not just to listen to the word of God but to fellowship with their fellow cell members. There is more interaction now and the love in this group definitely has increased.

Thank God for faithful people like Betty, Becky and Ee Foo who has put in a lot of effort bringing the group together and praying consistently for the members. Continue to keep us in prayer as Barnabas goes thru another growing phase. Nothing is impossible with God and we’re entrusting Barnabas into His hands!



BARNABAS needs you to pray for…

----> A male leader

-----> To stay focus on our vision
“To be bonded and grounded in the word of God”

-----> Core group to be united as a body of Christ

-----> Leaders to have Patience and Love for our sheep

for Benjamin

FRIDAY PRAYER MEETING
16 MARCH 2007

Praise Report!!

Benjamin speaks..

We just want to praise the Lord for all that he has done in Benjamin. Since we have parted with Daniel, our group is still going strong numerically and spiritually. Thank God also for the wisdom and foresight he has given to Matthew and Serene to lead Benjamin. We are following the vision of seeing Benjamin to be “A People Prepared".

Praise God that Benjamin has bonded closer together since YPM camp last year through a series of activities like CNY visitation and sports outing. We also want to thank God for a dedicated and willing core group who works and plans for activities despite the few meetings as it is difficult to find a time to accommodate everyone. We wish to see more numbers in Benjamin so that we will be able to give birth to another new group sometime this year!

Prayer Pointers for Benjamin!!!

1. Good follow up. Pray that every newcomer will be followed up. May the gospel be shared and new believers given proper bible study.

FRIDAY PRAYER MEETING 09 March 2007

Praise Report!!

Calvin Speaks..

Praise God for all He has done in Daniel! Indeed, we are only made possible because of His grace and His providence.
Daniel group was officially formed around July of 2006, and as such is the youngest group in YPM.
We started off with a regular attendance of only a handful of regular members, but since then we have grown to a Life Group with a regular attendance of about 10 youth. Indeed, we have seen the group grow more bonded with each other, and members are taking the effort to attend cell activities.
However, we do not want to stop here, indeed the reason we exist is to help each and every individual grow one more step closer to Christ-likeness. We are only starting to see members take a greater interest and seriousness in spiritual matters, but we know that it is definitely gonna improve over the next few months.
We pray that you will continue to keep Guang, Siew Ho, Mel, myself, and the group in prayer. Thanks, and God bless.

Melissa Speaks…..

Although Daniel has just started out not long ago, I want to thank God for blessing our group abundantly!
From a group of shy teens, they have become so much more open to each other and try to come to YPM more regularly. Furthermore, they seem to be more curious about the word of God! Their enthusiasm is really encouraging! Praise God for moving in their lives as we try to build them up spiritually.
Thank God for the core group, that though we are only 4, we are able to help one another and do various stuff for the interests of the cell.
May God be glorified through the lives of every member and may we continue to grow in quality and in quantity for his kingdom! :)

Prayer Meeting 02 March 2007


Praise Report!!!

joseph speaks..

For quite some time, Joseph had been relatively stagnant in terms of numbers and spiritual growth.
Amazingly, over the pass few months our numbers have been growing and we would constantly see pre-believers joining us for our cell groups. The core group prayed for encouragement within the cell group and slowly we started to see the cell group becoming more encouraging.
We thank God for both the numerical and spiritual growth of Joseph and at this present point in time; we are in the process of multiplying group Joseph. We are at a crossroads where there are both old and new Christians in the cell group and we are struggling to cater to both parties. So do keep us in prayer.

All glory be to God
John

Time to pray for JOSEPH!!

1.older members to connect well with the new ones.

2.strong teaching (with strong direction) from the lips of the teachers

3.members to internalise our vision, "love God, love man" within their minds and hearts.

Moses’ contribution, before he left..
1.Faithful shepherds who will care for their sheep. We want to disciple everyone and we need lots of mentors

2.Isaac Low who will be taking over.

3.Jesus will be their source of love and nothing will replace that

4.Joseph members will grow into their destiny as joint heirs of Christ.
