Tommy Starts to Socialize

Written by Warren | Posted on March 15, 2010 | Comments

Tommy starts to meet new friends. It was my first time to worry about his outside influences. In fear that my effort to discipline him might be in vain. I felt a good amount of prejudice against these children of whose parents are not yet Christians as far as I would observe. Meaning, calling [...]

March 3

Written by Warren | Posted on March 3, 2010 | Comments

For these past weeks we were able to sustain our devotionals more often than not. Especially after we moved in to our new home last month we were able to settle things down. It may not be an everyday event, but at least we’re getting into something.
I am more of focusing on my own [...]

A year of shapings, moldings and blessings

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on January 5, 2010 | Comments

It has been customary for me to write a “the year that was” every first week or so of every new year. The intention is to summarize the highlights of the past year in our lives — Christian walk, marriage, self —, it is sort of a year-end report kind of thing and usually, there’s [...]

One Wacky Ride

Written by Warren | Posted on December 22, 2009 | Comments

It’s been 3 months since I last blogged. And for those 3 months, it was one wacky ride for Hazel and I and ofcourse Emma. These are the major things that happened in the last 3 months in chronological order:
- We resigned from our local Church
- We got our Tommy! (see our Facebook account for [...]

Consequences of Having Non-Believers in the Body of Believers

Written by Warren | Posted on September 24, 2009 | Comments

We are in our second month since we started our daily morning devotions with the family and neighbors. Some however have not professed their faith in Christ. Neither do we see fruits or struggles from them to turn from their sins. This has affected our Bible studies greatly. First of all, not all are Christians. [...]

Emma’s baptism photos and video

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on August 27, 2009 | Comments

Emma, our household help turned sister in Christ, was baptized last Sunday together with two other youngsters. We just want to share with all of you pictures taken from that “another milestone” in Emma’s Christian walk.

And here’s a short video of the rest of the occasion, it’s cranky in some areas but we think it’s [...]

Morning Devotions: Week 1

Written by Warren | Posted on August 21, 2009 | Comments

This is the 5th day of our morning devotions with our neighbor. And I am so blessed to see that the Word of God seems to hit home in our neighbor’s heart. But I’m still not sure. Regardless, the Word must continually be preached.
We normally commit at least 30 minutes for our morning devotions. [...]

New Member in Our Family Devotions Started Today

Written by Warren | Posted on August 17, 2009 | Comments

This week will be our fourth week in doing our daily morning devotions with the family. The Lord has equipped us through the past weeks with His Word.
Last Saturday, our neighbors expressed their burdens to us. Currently they are Roman Catholics and are deciding to move to another “religion” because they feel they are [...]

Warren and Hazel Interviewed by the DSWD Yesterday

Written by Warren | Posted on July 29, 2009 | Comments

We were interviewed yesterday by a representative from DSWD concerning the adoption of a child. We were discussing on adopting a few weeks ago in response to our spiritual conviction on making disciples of all nations. I’m not sure if I would be excited or scared about it. Probably more scared because of the possible [...]

Encouragement From Brothers and Sisters

Written by Warren | Posted on July 25, 2009 | Comments

This week we had many brothers and sisters (both abroad and from our local church) who prayed for us. We thank you so much for your prayers, support, and forgiveness.
This morning alone we had some visitors as well comforting us. And again, even after I made the apology, my tongue got loose and said [...]

The Light Shines in Calulut Baptist Church

Written by Warren | Posted on July 19, 2009 | Comments

Preaching this evening by Doc was wild. I’m not sure about the others. But I felt for the first time that I couldn’t take my ears off of the message. The text was on Luke 15, the prodigal son, again, on its 4th time. But the delivery was uniquely done. So amazing how rich the [...]

Considering Adoption to Raise a Child for God

Written by Warren | Posted on July 7, 2009 | Comments

When we see some kids growing up, we become more thankful to God. We wanted to take advantage of our incapability to bear children and put our services to God. As the Lord has been gracious to us by making us grow, we realized that we are falling in love with the ministry. And having [...]

When Does the Holy Spirit Convict Us Most?

Written by Warren | Posted on July 4, 2009 | Comments

This week was the first time for me to discuss in our Bible study sessions from Monday to Saturday. I thought that if I were to be engaged in teaching for 2 straight days I’d get drained out. But somehow I managed to deliver well. This afternoon I will also be discussing at the chili [...]

Several People From the Mission Field Have Professed their Faith in Christ

Written by Warren | Posted on June 27, 2009 | Comments

Need to make a quick update before things start to pile up. This week alone has been amazing. Aside from getting a paid vacation from my boss, some folks from the Bible study that Hazel and I are currently involved in have professed their faith. Our maid, who also happen to join these studies, also [...]

Davsan Bible Study

Written by Warren | Posted on June 19, 2009 | Comments

Just came home from a BS in Davsan. The Davsan BS is held every Friday. I started joining Bro.Norman several weeks ago. I was able to hold discussions there several times but mostly was held by Bro.Norman. I wanted to teach this afternoon but still felt that I’m not confident enough. For the moment I [...]

Wolf Mistaken for a Sheep

Written by Warren | Posted on June 18, 2009 | Comments

One of our brethren, who was an ex-con himself, has a 3year ministry in our local city jail. In my previous blog posts I mentioned that I was joining him and at times ministering to the in-mates as well. Last night he mentioned to the church that he was having trouble discerning whether the person [...]

Examining myself

Written by Zhey Chua | Posted on May 27, 2009 | Comments

Remember what I said about me not posting here for reasons even Warren finds “valid”? I’m ready to tell the world about it now.
We all acknowledge the fact that the Christian walk is never easy, we all are aware that it is a consistent fight between the spirit and the flesh and that there are [...]

Devotions, Bible Studies, Prayer Life in the Family

Written by Warren | Posted on May 26, 2009 | Comments

Last night Hazel and I started doing a simple devotion. We just sat on our bed, prayed for guidance then read a portion of Scripture (we read 1 John 3:1-10), and discussed about it. We had no Bible tools, pens or notebooks in hand. We just discussed what we read. And it took us an [...]

Our Goal in our Business

Written by Warren | Posted on May 8, 2009 | Comments

This would be the first time that I would be discussing the nature of one of our business. Not that I wanted to promote our business thru this blog. But I would like to share what I’ve seen from our church.
A lot of members from our church would take pains in working abroad to [...]
