Levi Fellowship

So today was the start of the Levi Fellowship. So what is that? It's a fellowship for fulltimer's. Fulltimer's are those who are considering to serve God in a capacity of a pastor, missionary, Bible teacher, or counsellor. You get what I mean... The goal here is ...

1. to educate the members in understanding more of their desire to serve God and to give guidance in confirming if they are called or not;
2. to train each member more deeply in spiritual doctrines and evangelism;
3. to give an understanding or exposure of a minister's life.

It an open invitation for everyone, whether you have the desire or not, you are still invited. You can just go there to learn.

Fellowship starts every 4th Sunday of the month, I repeat, Fourth Sunday @ 12 noon to 2:30PM. Please try to confirm earlier on the week if you will be attending, because lunch is provided. Just call 3641415 tell them that and leave your name.

(By the way, it is named Levi, in honor of the priestly tribe in Israel called Levi. You could say, that they were very tight with God in the Old Testament. The picture above shows how four Levites were carrying the Ark of the Covenant of God. As for the Ark, it's another topic of discussion.)

What Kind of Animal Is Your Personality?

So last Friday, Young Pro Fellowship's activity was a personality test. It is a simple personality test written by Gary Smalley and John Trent. Before I explain it, click THIS to open the test, click File Menu of the opened Spread Sheet and click Export -> XLS to download the who thing and take the test. hehe...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzz.....................

Are you done???

Now let's begin.

There are four personality types or animals in this test: Lion, Otter, Golden Retriever, and Beaver. In the same order are the columns in the exam. 

A simple explanation is:

Lions are Leaders

Otters are the Friendlies

Golden Retrievers are the Caring ones

Beavers are the Diligent Ones

Each character has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. But don't get me wrong, you don't necessarily have all of the mentioned strength or weakness. The psych evaluation only gives you an idea of where your tendencies are. One can also be in multiple categories. If you're a lion then an otter. It just means you are a leader first, before you are a motivator. It's just a matter of letting one see what is a person's biggest potential and possible areas of improvement. Remember, having those weaknesses don't give you an excuse to stay weak in those areas. Knowing your weakness makes you more responsible in taking the initiative to improve on them. While knowing your strengths shows which areas in ministry and work you can shine in. Maximize your God given strengths. Comprende?!?! It can also be helpful in understanding other individuals. Why they are like that, and on what areas you can help them improve.

Monday Basketball Fellowship

If any of you have noticed in the Sunday bulletin, there is a portion that lists all the Bible Study groups. One of them is listed on "Monday Men's Group - 7:30pm GCHS GYM". It's about time they change that, because

1) the Gym already burnt down, and 

2) the group has moved to PACE Academy.

So what does this group do? Obviously, basketball!!! But it isn't an ordinary basketball group. Before every game, there would be a short prayer and devotion. 

The group aims to reach out to both Christians and non-Christians through the use of basketball. And why use basketball? Because guys love to play basketball. It is an opportunity to get to know one another through basketball. Encouraging and helping each other become better Christians. And possibly evangelizing new comers who have never heard of Christ.

If you are interested to join or help out, please subscribe to our yahoogroups for details.

FYI, this group has been around for more than two years. It used to be held at Bellevue, then GCHS gym, and now at Pace. God Bless!!!

Want to Enhance Your EQ?

For many of us, we've always wanted an opportunity to share the Gospel to our non-Christian friends and relatives. However, "nahihiya tayo" (we are embarrassed) , or we just don't know how to. Sometimes we don't even have the opportunity to invite them to just a simple fellowship or Bible study. We're afraid that the topic might turn them off, or just confuse them more about Christianity.

Anyway, we're in-luck (or the more appropriate term BLESSED), Zion fellowship has invited Ptr Jeanette Yu from the United Evangelical Church of the Philippines to speak to us on the topic "Enhancing Your EQ". It is a very short one time workshop that can help anyone of us. And if your friend gets defensive, just tell him/her that: 1) It won't be an evangelistic event. 2) It is a workshop that can help anyone. and 3) He/She won't be the only one new that will be attending.

This is an opportunity for us to invite our friends to church. Just try to invite them, and let the Holy Spirit do all the convincing in their hearts.
