Greetings,

June is always a busy month for churches. For Calvary Assembly, it has always been the busiest.

We have just finished our Annual Camp (1st to 5th June) at the Holiday Inn, Malacca. It was a camp that gave opportunities for untapped talents in our members to be discovered, as they were involved in various activities. As a Pastor, I had the greatest privilege just to sit and watch as several of these rose to the occasion, displaying their giftings. I sat and dared to dream of what they could be when given the opportunity. For me, it was truly a camp with a right theme - BURST. I am waiting with anticipation to see the great effects of this camp. I am sure those who have attended are looking forward to that "BURSTING"!

A Youth Mission Team (of 16 young people) led by Pastor Daphne Lau went to Teen Challenge Cebu, Philippines. They ministered at the center, to street kids and also held a leaders' conference for several churches. Each year, the team comes back with great reports of what God does for the people. Rev Jacob Koshy, Director of Teen Challenge Cebu, tells me that each year, the local churches look forward to their arrival. Over the last few years, the different teams that we sent out have richly blessed the people there.

From June 24th - 26th, there will be a Sunday School Day Camp. Each year the Sunday School holds two camps, one in June and the other in December. There will be three days of  power-packed activities for kids from kindergarten upwards. The activities include lively songs, calls for commitment to Jesus, classes, and outings in the afternoons. At each camp, many children respond to commit their lives to Jesus. These biannual camps are fully sponsored by the church.

During the June holidays, on Wednesdays and Fridays, there is Bible study conducted for the youth. This is led by the youth pastor or a youth leader. These sessions give the youth a chance for fellowship in the church and at the same time to be grounded in the Bible.

Well, praise God for the leadership of the church that seeks opportunities to bring His people closer to the Lord and closer as a church. When June is over, the church will start preparation for end-of-year activities. The church will move on to touch those who have yet to know Jesus.

If you are looking for a church to attend or to be part of this family, you are welcome. Please contact us, or speak to me at 62410831.
