Jakarta News

By Daughter Of Sarah -

Found photos of the place LH and Ian are staying at for the next coupla weeks before they move to the beach for the rest of the shoot. 

This is Taman Pasadenia or Pasadenia Gardens- apparently Keppel Land owns part of it. =D According to the internet it is located at the middle, upper middle class region of Jakarta, and is 15 mins away from Carrefour. =) It looks pretty nice - like a holiday resort. There is a pool, club house and gym, but the guys have not really gotten a chance to check all that out because of work.  I wonder if there is a Tiberias Church service that is held nearby. Must go research.  

What really amused me also was that I was surfing the net to reconfirm their postal code number in Jak when I realise that the same location''s address can be written in a myriad of ways apparently. It was so odd. I guess as long as the postal code, condo name, tower and unit number is there, they can deliver the mail regardless of whether you write which lot it sits on, which road it sits on, which part of jakarta it sits in. Some people wrote super long addresses, some specified a shorter version of it. Like instead of saying Tower H Unit 123, some just write 123-H. Some write Jakarta Timur, some just write Jakarta. Very si suah lai imho hahaha.

Really praise God for SKYPE - Ian and I had a 3 hour video conference (well we were not talking every minute. He was also typing out work and I was happy just to see him at it. I was writing him his postcards and all as well. Hehe) where we got to catch up with each other, make funny faces, as well as (and this is most important) partake in Holy Communion together. =)

Before we ended the call, we got to take communion as one and it felt so wonderful to be able to pray together and fellowship together. The world shrank for a moment so that we were right there with each other rather than being in 2 different countries. Yea Indon is closer than San Frans and Coppenhagen haha so at least we dun have to contend with time zone differences. Phew! 

Looking forward to heading over to Jakarta to see him soon!

Sermon 31/08/2008 - Pastor Lian (NCC)

By -
Pastor Lian has been in NCC for 20 years!! Joke- There was this really old obese lady who was so fat she had serious heart problem. One day she had heart attack and brought her to hospital and she died on op table. She came face to face with God and said sheepishly I guess my time is up… and God said no you are still young you are only 50 plus and you are a NCCer - u can live till 120 years. She woke up and told the doctor and told the doc she just want to have something else done. So she had an extreme makeover. It took a few mths and as she stepped out of the hospital, a car knocked her down and she died - God was as surprised to see her as she was to be back there. Just then, the angels sheepishly admitted - they could not recognise her. Lol. ---------------------------------------------------------- From young, Pastor Prince has always said - "God said", "God can" - he has always possessed a good opinion of God. 14 years from moving to The Rock location - 2 x 7 ...

What the Anointing Oil is & Prayer for the Anointing Oil

By -
Pastor Prince from New Creation Church has recently called upon the church members to use the Anointing Oil to bless every area of our lives. He had gone to Tiberius Church in Indonesia and seen how the anointing oil has made a difference to the Christians there. The senior pastor of Tiberius Church, Pastor Yesaya Pariadji, had been led by the Father to get his church to use the anointing oil radically. He had a vision of a biblical quotation when he was still not yet a Christian - he had no idea what it was. When he became a pastor, he finally understood what it meant. He felt very led to get his church to use anointing oil so they went ahead and used it; their testimonials are plentiful and amazing. Pastor Prince being a huge believer in Sola Scriptura, decided to discern further, pray about this and read up on the scriptural references on Anointing Oil before telling us to use it. He believes in doing things biblically - meaning we can be radical in our faith (for example our churc...

You have Comeback Power - Joel Osteen (Transcript) Pt 1

By Daughter Of Sarah -
I like to start with something funny - I heard about this pastor, he decided to skip church one Sunday and go play golf. He told his assistant he wasn't feeling well and he drove to another city's gold course there so no one would recognise him. He teed off at the first hole. All of a sudden a huge gust of wind caught his ball, carried it an extra hundred yard and blew it right into the hole for a 421 yard hole-in-one. The angel looked at God and asked, "What didcha do that for?" God smiled and said, "Who's he gonna tell?" Alright. Hold up your bible. Say it like you mean it - “This is my bible I am what it says I am, I have what it says I have, I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same. In Jesus’s name.” God bless you. I want to talk to you today about how you have Comeback power. We all face situations that seem like they could bury us - the...
