It seems only yesterday; and half a year has swept us by. Two days ago I was only feeling I just got over Chinese New Year. Wow, time really flies or rather we have been very busy to notice anything about the time. Giving the hectic schedules we all are keeping, very soon we will be grey and we would have missed many opportunities about some of the people we have nearby to us. Someone has said that each generation is responsible to reach their generation for Christ. I trust we will build in some evangelistic effort in our schedules to include this. For such a time like this we are placed in our stations to be a light. Let’s do that.

We will be emphasizing Missions again in July and I trust you are not surprised that it is so soon again. God is a speaking God and He calls for our involvement whether we realize it or not. Every moment our lives are beacons of light to point people to Christ. There are a lot of people that are moving about in search of a better employment and opportunities and perhaps some are stragglers that are in need. Let’s not miss them as we focus on the majority. Emphasis in July will help us to realize that there are parts we can participate in God’s worldwide missions. Let’s do that

We need to focus on the quick completion of our new church building but must not loose focus on missions. Missions is the church and while there will always be needs for new facilities, the missions of the church must go on. We must continue to pour our resources into missions as this is the eternal enterprise of God and He has empowered the church to do it. The building is to show cast His missions on earth. Each member is expected to give to the Building Fund but it must not be at the expense of Missions. The allocation of RM 292,000 is the same as that of last year and I look to God to move our hearts to continue to give to missions. Let’s be comfortable in these two salient points. Let’s do that.

Our allocation for _2009/2010 was _{RM 292,000}. The pledges that we made was _{RM 257,141} with ₂₃₃ participants. Our collection for the period was _{RM 237,599.90} (July ₂₀₀₉ to April ₂₀₁₀). The performance over allocation was _81.37% and the performance over pledges was _92.40%. We did wonderfully well by those who pledged but are slightly short as to our commitment. I am proposing a new allocation for _2010/2011 of _{RM 292,000} which will more or less continuing with previous commitment. I trust you will believe God and give towards His missions. I believe it is possible. Let’s do that again.
