DD Retreat – Pulai Spring Resort

just came back from a retreat with the leaders from DD zone. how should i describe it? hmm… it has been a long time since i took time off from work and ministry and be gone to a retreat like this. feels like the old times when we used to have church camps or family camps.

i think all of us need such a time to take a break and be immersed in the presence of God, doing the one thing we have been created for, to worship and be close to Him.

while, i drove in with Kless and the girls. and since Ziwei has to take his driving test on thur morning, we waited for him. thank God for that arrangement, we were able to pick up some impt equipment left out by the advance party from JW church. with the map printed from the website, Ziwei tobo and i drove.

as expected, we missed a few turns here and there. ended up we wasted about 30mins trying to look for the right exit. but nevertheless, we finally arrived and only missed the 1st session =)

the sessions were excellent! i must say it felt like SOT again! able to spend amble time to experience the presence of God and have training by Pst Derek.

the ministry sessions were fantastic! Pst taught about receiving ministry, going thru some of the notes he had prepared for us. we went thru 4 different areas of possible sins that might hinder our relationship with God and man.
1. Ancestoral Sins & Curses
2. UnGodly Beliefs
3. Inner Hurts
4. Demonic Oppression

to be frank, initially i tot to myself, do i have any problems still unresolved? i dun sense any big problem in my life at this moment. however, when we were all tasked to fill in the questionaire for the ministry, i told the step of faith and be honest and open. amazing, when we are open, the HS can work wonders. during the ministry, i was reminded of some memories that were hidden in my life all these years. the inner hurts that has hindered the breakthrus i am seeking in my life. the wrong ungodly beliefs that caused me to be so frustrated and inefficient.

now, i am recharged! ready to take on new challenges!

how good it will be be if we can do something like this on a cg level…
