Happy Birthday! :)

A very Happy Birthday to Maybelle Ngor who turns 15 today! :)




It's been a blessing having you in our CG and such an encouragement to see how much you've grown. We pray that as you turn a year older, you will continue to grow in maturity and draw closer to God day by day!

May God continue to shower you with His blessings and lead you and guide you throughout the year ahead.

Stay on fire for God and keep shining for Him!

Have a great one! :)

"May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you."
-1 Thessalonians 3:12


Love,
BUCG

Follow Up - Super Saturday

We're finally approaching the 2nd last "pre-LOUD". Thank you for being so patient with me, reading the posts and of course, your conscientious efforts in inviting your friends are credited! Good manpower people!

But remember, we can't do it without the power of God! Looking forward to a fine day on Sun which is next week... are you? If you are, let's bring it on together! =) Remember, PRAY for LOUD! You don't have to be reminded. It's "common sense". Haha...

Break Free is going to be one of our songs on that day! The prize for blogging is an i-pod touch. Catch some of this glimpses. I'm glad they revealed it to us today! :) As a reminder, this Wedn, there will be a prayer meeting in Hall 3 at 8 pm to uphold LOUD! in prayer.
It would be an amazing thing if we could all come and involve ourselves in this.

Today, we're very privileged to hear what Pr Foo and the Real Ink Crew had to say about doing follow-ups once our friends accepted Christ! Firstly, I want to thank God that now, 841 are confirmed that they're making their ways to LOUD!

Okay...here's the real thing today! Loading..............
||||||||||||| 20%
|||||||||||||||||||||||||| 40%
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||60%
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||80%
and |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||100%
here we are...

A follow-up is like feeding a new born baby... remember the illustration Pr Foo gave us today? If he left Lucas alone without food, he'd die of starvation, and definitely he won't be as he is today. [If you want to see ur friends' maturity when they're 5 months old as a Christian, you better follow-up on them]

Pr Foo randomly called people upstage to find out what they understood about follow-ups.
WHAT?

• Don't leave them alone!
• Disciple them so that they can grow!
• Calling them up
• Feed them more food - (i shall add, when they cry for more! =P)
• Invite them to church

Then ask HOW? Watch these steps!
1.Pray 4.ABCD
2.Time 5.Invite
3.LOUD!

Assurance, Bible and Prayer, Church, and Declaration. Heard all those, remember them!! =D
I think Pr Foo will put it on Youtube so you can search for it!! One more thing I shall elaborate is that, Follow-up is a PROCESS. NO DELAY! [Call them within the 48 hrs slot!]

Real Ink Crew said: Don't be too persistent. Pray for your friends, not laptop. =P
God's always in control, so if He wants to bring yr friends back, HE WILL!
AND remember to invite your friends back for Super Saturday so that they can have a "taste" of it! Smells GOOD eh!

Yeah, that's about it for now! The decoration for our booth is awesome. Hairsprays shapes like butterfly, flower, star, dragonfly and others awaiting. Haha the TATTOO font was cool.
GOOD JOB EVERYONE! we gotta complete it by next Saturday! =)

Super Sat - ZC: How to be a Good Host!

In preparation for LOUD! 2009, Big Jon, Jared and his team shared a few things for us to grasp. Let me recall them for the benefit of those who were absent yesterday.

During altar call - Big Jon`s sharing
If your friend raises his or her hand, indicating that he or she wants to accept Christ, you need to:
1) Accompany them out! Remember, you're encouraging them and telling them, I'm there for you! Make sure you fill up the center!
2) Next, the helpers will give out the gift packs, after they prayed the sinners' prayer. Make yr friends fill up the response card, then place the card in the boxes!
3) Of course, since all these are basics, just enjoy the LOUD! 2009 =P

Being a good host - Jared and team.
Good demonstration on how to avoid being a bad host! Prioritize our friends!
Don't assume they know everything!!
1) Address them by name - when you want to introduce your visiting friends to CG members.
Make them feel welcome!! Make sure both parties have something in common to talk about!
- make sure you know yr CG members' names! Don't embarass yourself okay? :)
2) Then, social etiquette!
- be on time!! Punctuality works in every event!
- Don't ever play sports' before LOUD! if not you will give out a bad smell =X
- Avoid eating food which leaves behind a smell in your mouth - like durians and garlicy food!
If you do, brush yr teeth real hard ~
- Look good, dress well ~ =] young ladies and gentlemen!! Dress decently...the best you can!
3) Don't spoil the FUN! Be enthusiastic... accompany ur friends to play the games they enjoy.
Don't discourage them!
4) Give friends personal space! *wink wink *
Especially for opposite sex, don't go too close to ppl you don't know!! (it still applies to ppl for the same sex, duh!)

Reminder - update your frontliners every Tues + Thurs! and frontliners will update Daryll once again! One last thing, pray that this event will be filled with God's presence! And that our friends will want to accept Jesus. Thus ends! Have a great week ahead! God bless!

[Its her again!]

ZC: How To Invite Your Friends For LOUD

Throughout July, XYZ will be having Zone Congregation, to prepare all of us for LOUD! 09. :)
We'll be learning:

1. How to invite your friends for LOUD!
2. How to host your friends
3. How to follow up with your friends

[This is important stuff, so I hope to see you guys during ZC for the coming weeks, kay?]

This week, we started with the first: How to invite your friends for LOUD!

PLEIKS

Step 1: Pray
-Before you do anything else, commit everything to God, and be specific when you pray. List out your friends by name, because He knows each and every one of them! :)

Step 2: List (Make a List)
-List down all the friends you want to invite for LOUD, and hang it somewhere to remind you to continue praying for them.

Step 3: Entice
-Entice and excite your friends with the awesome LOUD! invitations and the promotional video (its on youtube under XYZ Events)

Step 4: Invite!
-Go up to your friends and tell them about LOUD! Be sure to know the details about LOUD (eg. when? what time? where? whats happening?) and get them excited!

Step 5: Keep It Fresh
-Continue to remind and excite them once in awhile by slipping it into your conversations. Remember, don't be a crazy stalker, just be natural. :)

Step 6: Seal the Deal!
-As LOUD! draws near, seal the deal with the friends you've invited! If there may be anything that is preventing them from coming, don't give up; go the extra mile. (For example, if your friend has no transport, offer to pick him/ her up.)

That's it! The 6 simple steps to inviting your friends for LOUD! :)


Also, our CG will be in charge of the tatoo and hairspray booths for LOUD! All the materials have been bought, but we need to provide manpower and also prepare sign boards for the booths. We'll be meeting this coming Saturday (11 July 09) at 1pm in Room 120 to discuss designs for the board. Please come if you can. ;)




Here's a glimpse of what you can expect for LOUD 2009! :)
For those who want to enter the blogging competition, this is also the video you need to put up along with your post.

God bless.
