Overnight prayer meeting

An Invitation was sent out promptly and on the 20^th of October, about 30 students turned up for a “slumber- party” with God Almighty. The first JE prayer meeting for this academic semester started of with a warm dinner at about 8.45. This time around several new faces were seen. On the menu was chicken curry, fried “masala” style chicken and a lovely mixed vegetable salad. The dinner which was prepared by the students themselves was undoubtedly sumptuous. Also joining the table was pastor Paul Elis accompanied by his wife and son. He was the speaker for the evening. Dinner was followed by a time of praise and worship with Johanan and Kelvin on the guitars and Lifan on the keyboard. It is just awesome how a heart of worship can usher in the presence of God because that is actually all that He desires.

Pastor Paul who already isn’t a stranger to JesusEmbassy had much to share about his travels, and plans including God’s call for him to visit Nigeria and Malaysia. He pointed out that we should “test” the words that enter our ears the way we test the food that enters our mouth. He added that God reveals a little about Himself as we spend more time with Him and know His word. It is very important for Christians to know the word of God because it is the power to live and the lamp that illuminates our paths. Finally he urged the students to develop a passion for God’s word and proclaim the promises of God.

Throughout the night many areas were “touched” and “covered” by prayer. The students prayed for their families that all will come to know God, unity, for their respective nations, friends and also for their personal life. Prayer session was alternated with praise and worship, games and even supper!!

Even though the meeting lasted the whole night till dawn, it felt as though only a short moment had passed

The prayer meeting ended with JesusEmbassy as a group praying for each and every person present and also for their respective ministries.

It was no surprised that everyone was tired and could be seen with their eyes drooping as the clock struck 6 in the morning. However these students came with a desire to stand in the gap and intercede for their friend, and it was indeed a mission accomplished. We looks forward to great things in God’s perfect timing!!!

wassup making new friends

Jesus Embassy organized a 'welcome party' for the new batch of students on Saturday the 6th of October. The party which started at 7pm received an overwhelming response. Over 70 students from Nigeria, India, China, Vietnam, Turkey, Malaysia and Russia turned up for the party. Keat Leong and Lily who were the MCs, kick-started the party with an ice breaker. Our guest were required to get to know 5 new friends from different parts of the world, these people enthusiastically got out of their seats to shake new hands and exchange sweet smiles. Ice breaking session was then followed by a very tricky game called "Yes and No", where the interviewee must never ever use the word 'Yes' and 'No' when answering the interviewer's questions. Listening to their answers was really amusing. Our dear guests were also taught to dance to a song called 'The Cannibal King' by Johanan. Chuckles and laughter could be heard as Johanan showed the groovy dance moves. To add to all these, Bollywood actors and actresses from Impressions of God came up with an impressive sketch, about introducing Jesus Embassy and its ministries.

Later on, Kelvin came up and shared some words with the people. The verse he quoted from the bible was very true, 'Mix with the wise,and you will become wise; mix with the fools, and trouble will come upon you'. He mentioned about the importance of making friends and supporting each other in this foreign land. Vinodh, Keat Leong and few others hyped the party up when they started break-dancing, flashing some really bone-breaking cool moves. Towards the end of the party, food was being served. On the menu was delicious-finger-licking-good spicy curry chicken and salad. All was grabbed to the last bit. After dinner, a video-clip of Dennis the leader of Jesus Embassy saying 'priviet' from Malaysia was being showed on screen along with other clips of Jesus Embassy's activities. All the fun, joy and laughter came to a temporary end, when it started to get late. Sad to say it was already 9.30pm.However it is just the beginning of many new friendships and more parties that rock.
