Dear Sister Lily, Sister Weng Lian, Brother Andy

VBS 2009 has ended where it has been a wonderful experience working with you all on the activities with the children on those 6 days. Your availability, commitment and passion to serve the Lord has been a great encouragement tor me, and I have also learn so much from you all.

Wishing you all the best this coming year 2010!

Dear brother Andrew

God Bless you for your commitment and leadership. I had a thoroughly enjoyable time.
I pray you will have a fruitful time in following up with the children who came. Please send them my love.

Dear Andrew/Lily/W Lian,

Being 1st time in VBS,I must said that I cherished the experience &
fellowship in serving together with all of you.I was a bit skeptical
initially but after this experience I've made up my mind to serve in
VBS again (if time permits) next year.
God Bless to all of you & your family.


Hey guys,

We are so pleased that all of you are now addicted to VBS !!

God is so much more relevant and real in our lives when we serve at VBS.

We look forward to work with all of you again at our next VBS.

Meantime, we would appreciate your partnership in our Follow-Up programmes for the unchurched kids who accepted Jesus into their lives.


Blessings,
Poh Gek

On'ya Mates!

To all helpers,

On behalf of the VBS committee, I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to every single one of you for your sacrifice of time and effort. It has been a wonderful journey all the way. We prayed together, trained together, laughed together, and almost lived together for one whole week during VBS. I certainly got to know some of you a lot better!

Was it worth it? A big resounding YES! On ABC day, when one kid after another came up on stage to receive their bible, I could only stand there and shed tears of joy and thankfulness. Altogether 124 kids accepted Jesus, and out of those, 97 are from unchurched families. Was it worth it? Oh yes! Even if one was saved, it was worth all the effort.

A shout out to our dedicated and hardworking deco team for their awesome and inspiring decoration. Standing on stage, and just looking all around me, it was just a jaw dropping scene.

To my fellow commies, it has been a wonderful and wacky time of planning, eating, laughing and even dancing! I love you all, and thank you for putting up with my blurness. The journey would have been a lot longer without the dedication and commitement of all of you. We all worked like a real team. Am proud of all of you!

To the rotation sites leaders and helpers, you were all fantastic. Your energy and creativity added the zing to VBS. The kids just loved all the games, food, craft and songs. You were the icing on top of the cake!

To the teachers and helpers in class, you were the pillars that held up God's word. Without all your planning and dedication, the kids would not have that special time where they got to listen to how God can transformed Peter, and can transform all of us.

To the media team, thank you! The blog is fantastic, the photos are inspiring and you gave us memories that will always stay in our hearts.

To all the other helpers; Aunty Janny, Uncle Moby, Peter, and the rest in the office, thank you for your support and love. Uncle Moby, a big thank you for the yummy food your provided! Burp!

I know it has been tiring, and at times stressful, but you all persevered and God is faithful. The journey has not ended. This is only the beginning. The post VBS missions team will be starting the work soon, and will need all our help to continue to keep in touch with these kids.

I thank you for your partnership, and we will see you next year!
