Our Church

Look into Full Time – Praise God for bringing a handful of participants for this year’s Look Into Full Time interest session (happening today)! As the harvest remains plentiful, we continue to plead on the Lord of the harvest to help and equip us His church, and that His Spirit send forth more workers to explore full-time paid gospel ministry via our apprenticeship.

Christianity Explored – As the next round begins at the end of September, let us pray for the Lord to move members to sign up as table hosts to befriend and facilitate newcomers coming to meet Jesus. May the Lord grow our hearts as a church, that evangelism would not be a duty, but a joyful fruit that flows from a people who delight in Jesus!

Our World

Indonesia – Thank God for the ministry of disciple-makers linked to our partner as they look for open people whom God has prepared to receive His word. Pray for more disciple makers to be raised that will be sharing their faith boldly and prayerfully in this nation. May this Word continue to grow in them so that they are stirred to seek the truth and come to know Jesus, especially those from the majority faith background.

Bangladesh – This nation is home to the largest unreached people group in the world, with an estimated population of between 135-150 million. Many live and work overseas outside of Bangladesh. It was good to see the work of 10 teams of brothers and sisters in Christ focused on the megacity of Dhaka when SQ and 2 others from ZB went to visit them last month. May the Lord stir our hearts to pray for and empower disciple makers working with this people group.

By Ps Dev Menon

How would you respond if you saw those words in a text? I must admit – I rarely see them so plainly put. Strange, right? That we so rarely ask in such a direct manner.

And yet, each time I handle a serious ‘pastoral issue’, I wonder to myself – why did this person not say something sooner? How did it get to this state? More so if the person is already plugged into an active church group or community. Maybe we could have intervened, or done something, or at least prayed more – if it had come up just a bit earlier.

After years of attempting to cultivate a #getreal Gospel Culture, I still think there is so much more progress to make…

Could it be because I, as a pastor and leader, am not modelling this to the congregation? When was the last time I asked explicitly for help? Have I given the illusion that I have got everything under control? What kind of image am I portraying?

Or is it that when we do ask, the response has been inadequate? I’m not saying our brothers and sisters don’t care (though often, yes, more could be done). But maybe we have unrealistic – or simply wrong – expectations of what help is. How does Jesus help us? Is that our model and expectation? Do we even know what His help looks like?

I have shared many times that my every-morning (and often every-night) prayer is “Help me Jesus, help me Jesus, help me Jesus!” But maybe I don’t say it out loud enough. Or at least, not out loud to other people enough.

So let me say it now: I need help. I really do need help. With what? With everything!

With my family, my ministry, my relationships – really everything! Do ask me in person and challenge me to share more.

Because friends, in this year of #getrest – what is rest really? Doing less? Pacing oneself? Having time for contemplative practices? Sure. But could rest be more about asking God and others for help? The one who cannot ask for can never really rest… because he is the one holding the world on his shoulders, and it is crushing.

Think Matthew 11:28. What is Jesus saying? Could we have a more relational view of rest?

I need help. Help me Jesus.
