Cultural feast

I enjoyed so much every night of the GoForth National Missions Conference (about 18 countries were represented) that I’ve attended more than a week ago. Aside from the rallies (keynote messages on missions), we were treated with cultural presentations by the Pacific Islanders who were so good and contagiously funny, a Korean lady with a lovely fan dance, [...]

A revolution!

Today is the last day of a four-day interdenominational event for missions mobilisation Go Forth 2008, which I have the privilege to attend. How exciting to be with people from different countries, groups, churches, organisations, and companies come together to learn and wrestle on God’s Glory in the East: Our Asian Missions Challenge.

Water Fools

Walk on the sea. Drive on the river.
I was at the Boat Quay last night to watch Water Fools by the acclaimed French street theatre company Ilotopie.

To see a car running and people acting out a story on water with fireworks as backdrop was truly entertaining and awesome.

trees

One man’s faith journey

Roy Robertson, founder of The Navigators, Singapore, and many other works in Asia was called home to glory on 8 May 2008 while seated at his front porch in his home in Texas.
