No matter what the level of your ability, you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime.

The girls from DE-Tribe had a wonderful and powerful congregation meeting with Ps Eve. Ps Eve shared with us on the topic of the potential. All of us have a potential within us that we have to discover this potential and realise it.
Potential is defined as a latent excellence or ability that may or may not be developed.
Yes, potential is something undiscovered, something that we need to spend time to realise it so as to make it real in life.
But, how can we realise it?
- Believe and go do it with FAITH.
- Willing to explore all opportunities: Dare to say: “Yes, I will do. I can do!”
- Experiment the area: Don’t get into the habit of “Huh, cannot lah”
Eph 2:10 “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do so.”
It is not about how small, weak, good you are, it is all about how great, how wonderful God is. Are you willing to let God turn your situation around and fulfil His purpose? What we have are we willing to serve God? Are we putting the “I” bigger that “GOD” in our hearts?
These are a few questions that God placed upon my heart. And I responded. It is not an easy route. But it will be a wonderful and fruitful route and journey. God says, fix your eyes onto Me, fix your mind on My word.
God is willing to mould us to the person with the potential He has placed within us long before we are born, may we too be willing for Him to be moulded by Him.
God bless you,

Thanking God it’s Friday
TGIF is often thought of as an outreach event to bless pre believers and I agree that it is very much. At the same time though less often mentioned is that it is also a time of blessing for believers.
This TGIF, I was richly blessed by the Lord because of a few reasons and here I would like to give thanks… I would like thank God for the unity the cell displayed in pulling the event through.
I thank God for 
Clar and Val, without their creative ideas and energy the planning and preparation phase for the event would not have been so smooth. Also, thank God for Pastor Danny and Lionel for lending their support and encouragements. Valerie, Candice came and helped to prepare the food. Others came by to help out later. Chantel, together with Clar, Jia Jing and Dinali led us to play some interesting icebreakers. It was a good time spent that allow us all from various groups to engage in some good clean fun. Then Clare came to lead us into worship. God was using her mightily. God came and ministered to us and really set the stage for the testimony sharing.
I
thank God that in the midst of sharing, God came and communicated the message to the guests in ways that mere mortal words can’t. I believe in either big or small ways, the seeds have been sown.In the latter part where we broke into small groups to share, each and every member made an effort to help the guests to settle down and mingle. In such a holy setting, food is a must. And everyone settled in to eat and well… all was finished…
Through it all, I felt God’s reassuring presence not just in His presence but also in the community that He has provided. I thank God it’s Good Friday because of Him and His people…
Liting's Cluster TGIFSowing Seeds of Faith...
TGIF for me started on Thursday so its TGIT for me… On Thursday night, we went over to Ps Eve’s place with all our ingredients for food and stationery for gifts/name tags making. It was pretty effective for us. Paulina came out with the icebreaker games while Juliana wrote out her 1-min testimony. I did up the name tags and liked the effect. Pastors came back and led us into a time of praying for the various TGIF events that the tribe was having.
Although we were still preparing, the 1hr that we stopped what we are doing and turned our attention on God, was the most memorable part in the preparation. At 1am, we could feel the presence of God lingering in the hall, where we would be having our harvest event.
We woke up and continue our preparation, frying the foods and buying last minute items. We even had time to bring Ignez out for breakfast and morning exercise! It was simply delighting to see the whole cell come together, be it to prepare for food or taking care of Ignez. That definitely trained us in hospitality, i.e. taking care of the guests!
Guests started appearing at 2pm. As they entered the ‘Supreme Court’, they were given a name tag and welcome drink. We lingered for a while until the last of our guests reached and started with the icebreakers. We played the simple H2O game, where a pair of participants (Hydrogen x 2) has to find another person to make up the Oxygen. The first pair that was forfeited was Luther (my pupil) and Terry. The forfeit was to finish the whole packet of Twisties in one mouth!
After 2 games, we entered into a time of worship that was led by our (new) resident guitarist, Jocelyn. Although we had pre-believers among us, we were not inhibited. Praise and appreciation flowed out of our hearts towards our Saviour and Sacrificial Lamb, Jesus. After worship, one of the visitors Weekwang shared that he teared during worship. Thank God for His presence and for ministering to us.
Ps Eve challenged us to prepare our altar call script and rehearse it. This way, we would not be nervous and leave out important points or be fumbled. As we moved into the video, I was rehearsing the altar call lines in my heart. This round, I wrote out my script and just followed it. I felt calmer than during MyHope event. As our theme was Courtroom, we have 2 ‘witnesses’ to testify that Jesus is real and alive! Thanks to Juliana and Krystle who shared their 1-min testimony vulnerably.
In our lives, we will one day have to face the Judge and the consequences of our decisions and deeds. Who you choose as your Lawyer? If Jesus represents us in the Courtroom of Life, no charges can stand against us, because these charges are now on Him. The invitation was open for the visitors to choose the Best Lawyer for their lives now. By God’s grace, we have 2 salvations and 1 who rededicated their lives to Jesus.
I must say, planning for TGIF and opening the invitation for altar call was a big step of Faith for me. Through this event, I was reminded of how seeds were sowed in my life since Sec 1, until I finally came to know Him in sec 4. I pray for the seeds that we had sown on 10 April that one day these seeds will become strong trees of Faith! Start small, and be faithful!

Holy Spirit visits TGIF event in Eastern part of Singapore
The Holy Spirit has reportedly visited one of the Thank God It's Friday (TGIF) events held in Singapore over the weekend of 10-12 April 2009.
Speaking to the media shortly after the event, Kevin Ng, a 16 year old participant shared that he could sense the presense of the Holy Spirit throughout the event. He said, "I could sense the presence of the Holy spirit throughout the event, especially during the worship session as well as while watching the video".
More than 20 participants gathered at an undisclosed location in the eastern part of Singapore on Friday, 10 April 2009. The event started with games that involved throwing marshmellows into the air and catching them with mouths. The participants were also made to act as boats and lighthouses. The games ended with Nutella all over the faces of popular hosts Steven and Derrick. A time of praise and worship to the Lord was followed by a screening of "The Crossing" video before the participants broke up into their groups.
One of the event organisers, Mr Lionel Chan commented that the event was meant to be a simple and meaningful affair allowing participants to have a good and fun family time. A good and fun family time it was indeed. 25 year old university student Benjamin Lee said, "It was a great and fun time for bonding among the guys in DE Tribe". He added, "We should have it more often since we don't always get a chance to interact with guys from other cells". Responding to this positive feedback, organisers have announced that plans are underway to organise an "All Guys" outing. In a telephone interview, Mr Terry Lim, spokesperson for the organisers said, "I think so.....yes.....it (an "All Guys" outing) definitely is in the pipeline. We should have a clearer picture in the next couple of weeks."
The public is advised to wait for further instructions on the "All Guys" outing or alternatively, they can enquire with their cell leaders.
