Door to Door Ticket Giving

It was an exciting night for most of us. Some were nervous, some were terrified and overwhelmed with the idea of knocking on peoples door. It was a Friday night with clear weather and moderate temperature. Thank God..

In any case, we were able to finish the night safely. . This too was an answered prayer. Although disappointments also arise... many of the residents were either out or already as sleep. Maybe we went out too late, around 8:45 PM. Was it too late? We won't know until this coming Friday (August 29). Rememeber, it is not our power to lead people to watch; it is all in God's power. God bless.

For those who want tickets. Just call 3641415 / 3641977. Don't worry, it's free. So invite as many non-Christians who can understand Chinese.

Call Waiting???

Every Chinese church goer in the Philippines has probably heard of Chancel Repertory. They are a Chinese-Christian organization that makes evangelistic plays. They are all volunteers, so they don't get paid; but they perform like professionals. Some of the plays I've watched were Snapshots and Portraits, Zacchaeus the Wee Little Man, and Rahab the Harlot. For this year, it is a play purely in Am

oy. I still have no idea what the story will be like, except that it is a modern Filipino-Chinese setting. It was played in UECP around a month ago. You can ask them if you want some spoilers.. Anyway, the details are... August 29.. 8pm at the GCC sanctuary. Tickets are FREE. So if there's a scalper out there selling it you, better tell the church office.. Btw, we will be going door to door this Friday (August 22) around Grace Village. We will be handing tickets to every house as much as possible. Be at Grace by 8pm if you want to join us.

And for you having non-Christian parents, relatives, and friends who want them to share God's blessings. Here is your chance, take it while it lasts...or in this case, while tickets last...

Fun for Fund Results

The results are out. As of last Sunday, we were able to raise PHP 1.06M. It may seem small to some, but it is awesome. It is right at the target amount with a little extra bonus. Our prayers have been answered. god has provided. Btw, I also heard some rumor of someone offering something not monetary, but necessary. I'll get back to you on that with the pictures I promised.

Day Before

Preparations are heating up. Excitement all over the place. It's the day before the Mini Fair. The fellowship hall is packing with people decorating their booths, planning, chatting, and working hard giving their best for Sunday. I'll post some pictures later on of the event. I hope a lot of people would drop by and enjoy the festivities.:)

Mini Fair: Fun for Fund

I forgot to mention that the title of our event is called "Fun for Fund". It's August 5, just less than week for the grand event. Every body is working hard just to make sure things are getting done. Tickets are starting to sell too. Thank God. We just needed to have little patience; and of course, faith. One thing I ask everyone is to pray for the weather. Whether or not God would bless us with rain or shine, we should still pray that to have faith, strength, and commitment. Having rain ain't so bad. It's like having a natural air conditioner. The church can then save up the money from turning on all the air conditioners. So let's leave the natural to God and focus our energy on making the fair as fun as possible. And also, let us not forget to have our quiet time. We must never neglect our own time with God, it is as essential as preparing our booth. In fact, it is more important.

In closing, a well respected pastor used to tell us.. With more prayer, there's more power. With less prayer, there's less power. Without prayer, there's no power. So let us charge up with lots of power.

Mini Fair tickets..

So they (elders, deacons, pastors, and other people involved) have decided that the tickets will be in p300, p500, and p1000 denominations. The tickets serve as our monetary denominations that we can consume on that day. There's no entrance fee, just so we are clear about that.

They've assigned fellowships and other ministry groups to sell the tickets. They've divided P500,000 among us evenly. For Young Pro Fellowship, we have around, p20,000; but we're also helping another Junior church class because their group got dissolved. Now, it's P30,000. It may seem easy if each is willing to spend P1,000.. but reality is reality.. and the reality is, most individuals are cheap when it comes to giving to the church. Another reason is that most individuals would want to buy on the day itself. I'm sure most of us think the same way.

Right now, I have around P4,000 worth of tickets to sell. I have sold about, P600?? tough huh? Well, it's tougher than I first thought.. The fair is a week away, so please buy from me...

GCC Mini Fair

Yes, it's true. GCC will have it's mini fair this year to raise funds for the on going church renovation project. It will held on August 10, 2008, around 11:15 to 17:00. The bar has been set a little higher this year to a whopping P1,000,000.. Yep, that's six zeros. It may seem impossible; but I guess, we should all have a little faith here. Amen??? O well, I'll assume you said Amen..

What will we have this year? I'm not so sure yet.. but I heard there'll be... coffee shops, pastries, sandwiches, dumplings, junk food, junk food, and junk food. Yes I know, we can't just eat junk all day. That's why there'll be activities such as bowling, darts, fishing, video games, biking, and many more that I have no idea about... and for those who just want to buy stuff, I have no idea what non-edible items will be sold. I just know there will be.. It's a surprise for you and even for me. So let's save our money so that we can spend it for our beloved church and have fun at the same time.
