40 days of purpose campaign @ PowerHouse

If you haven't signed up yet.....get yourself signed up. See any PowerHouse cell group leader. Or e-mail us at sib_powerhouse@yahoo.com or leave a note at the chatterbox!! Don't miss out. Invite your friends. We start our 40 days of purpose campaign on 27th Feb 2005. Don't forget to get your book and manual.

Imagine what could happen in your church if every one of your members began to live out God's five purpose on a daily basis!

If your church baptized 671 new believers, added 1,200 new members, and increased your average attendance by 2,000 in just 40 days, would you call that a revival?

If, during those same 40 days, 2,200 previously uninvolved people volunteered to serve in a ministry of your church, and another 3,700 committed to go on missions somewhere in the world next year, what would you call that? An awakening?

What term would you use if your members became so burdened for their neighbors that they started 2,400 Home Bible Study groups and convinced nearly 25,000 of their friends, neighbors, and co-workers to attend for six weeks? A miracle?

Whatever you call it, this actually happened at Saddleback Church in the Fall of 2002 during an incredible spiritual growth emphasis called 40 Days of Purpose.

But it just didn't happen at Saddleback! Over 18,000 churches from all 50 states and 19 countries have now participated in 40 Days of Purpose. Many of these churches have reported that it was the most transforming event in their congregation's history. Hundreds of pastors have written or called saying, "Our church will never be the same" and "This is the greatest thing that has ever happened in our church." One pastor wrote, "I've seen more growth in our members and our church in 40 days than in the previous 13 years."

Through 40 Days of Purpose, thousands of people have come to Christ, been baptized, welcomed into membership, connected to a small group or Sunday School class for fellowship, taught the meaning of real worship, equipped for personal ministry, and commissioned to fulfill their mission in the world.

We hope and pray that your church won't miss out on this movement of God. We invite you to join us. We're waiting to partner with you on the journey of a lifetime!

I know..the print is kinda small...anywayz this is what it says:

We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing - 2 Thess 1:3

Anywayz, we really praise God for all you guys in PowerHouse. You've all really grown in the Lord by....wow....amazing....heaps....really. From when we first met in Feb 2004 till today. You guys are not the same man....you faith has really grown. Your love for Jesus is really huge now....and also the way you care and love for each other. It's wonderful to see how God has touched u guys. And how all of you are willing for God to touch u! :)

Purpose Driven Life Facilitator Training

Hi dear cell group leaders and assistant cell group leaders....
There will be a facilitator training for Purpose Driven Life (PDL) on:

29th Jan OR 5th Feb 2005 @ 2pm @ Shalom
You can choose either one. So the rafting ppl can go for 5th Feb. Ppl like me can go on 29th Jan! ;)
The training will teach you what to do as a leader (facilitator) for PDL cells. PDL cells will be starting 1st week march in powerhouse (the whole church including kb will start the same time).
Gear...please give your preferred dates to Gabriel. Connect and Ignite, you can e-mail me your preferred dates. Really encourage you guys to go. it's quite a different style of leading a group (so i gather). See you there

Padas White Water Rafting

Yo...
Powerhouse will be organizing a white water rafting trip to padas.
Date: 29 Jan 05 (Sat)
Time: the entire day. 8am-5.30pm (approx)
Fee: RM100-RM120 (if we get more ppl then it gets cheaper)
Contact persons: Jude Limus (016 848 8449), Justin Chen (012 833 8202)
Higly recommended that only people above 15 years join this rafting due to the nature of the adventure and the risks that it may present

Sunday Music Classes

Sup guys...Jude here...Bobby, Susan, Christine and I have decided to continue the music class(es) had on sundays during the holidays. I know, I know you might be thinking " aren't those supposed to be HOLIDAY programmes?" But one of Powerhouse.FM's goal this year is to train up new musicians and bringing them to a higher level so FM can bring God's presence during worship to an even greater level.
So...this is whats going on.....


There's gonna be a or a few guitar classes, drum class, and maybe if you guys are interested, Bass ( oh yeah baby ) and keyboards. All will be taught by and or either or me, Christine, Peng ( maybe ), Jane ( maybe ), and more to come hopefully. There is however a change. Since some of you guys ( maybe girls ) are not very commited to the class thing some running around, some talking, some digging nose and looking for cicaks, Powerhouse.FM is implementing payment for the lessons. Meaning you have to pay if you wanna learn. Being the reason some of you are not serious, a fee should make you more commited and you know, the teachers ( no names please ) are abit put off by this behaviour. So if you're paying you outta BE at the class you know? Money don't come by easy these days. Make sure they are well spent. What the teachers are passing down now is not just chords and beats but the spirit and sense of belonging to Powerhouse. You might be in the worship team you know.


Don worry the fee won't be cut-throat like the ones you go to like Technics or Yamaha. Fees are rm15 per MONTH...thats cheap....like dirt cheap...but that doesn't mean you can just waste it away. So if you have 1001 siblings attending the class..erm...you do the math how much your clan will have to pay.


The sunday music classes will also be having a name. Erm...no idea so far yet but THIS is where all you guys can get in. You guys can chip in a name for the class such as School Of Rock or Musically Musiced or Nation of Music or Peeing Into The Toaster or something like that. You get the idea. But you gotta have an explanation for the name too. If the Majims and FM likes the idea then congrats your idea is on the board.


Classes will start THIS sunday which is 9 January after church at 1.30 Pm. Will be ending in about one hours time.See ya there guys. If you have your own guitars or drum sticks please bring la hor?

Trust that you all are having a good time in school. Remember to make a difference in where u are...school or work ....coz u're empowered by the Holy Spirit!

Powerhouse Leader Planning & Impartation Session

Hi guys
All leaders & co-leaders,
we will be having a weekend together for preparation of 2005.



Tentative Programme:



Friday nite (7/01/05) @ PowerHouse Room @ 8pm

Ps Jerry will be sharing on leadership



Saturday (8/01/05) - Venue yet to be determined (in a hotel in KK somewhere)

2.30-3.30pm: Bob & Suz sharing on Powerhouse for 2005

(All young adults are invited to this session)

3.30pm-4.00pm: Tea break

4.00-6.30pm: Planning for 2005

6.30pm-7.40pm: Dinner

7.40pm-9.30pm: Consolidation of 2005 plans and activities

we will not be going away this time due to constraint of time. All leaders are HIGHLY recommended....STRONGLY required to go.....!! ;)
We need to seek God, wait upon the Lord, and ask Him for His strategy plan for PowerHouse for 2005. We believe that PowerHouse will be taken to another level this year. But we all need to come together as a team and seek God corporately for His plans...and not to do things based on our own personal desires. Pastor will be sharing on leadership....he's been wanting to share with the leaders for a while already ! :))
Bob & Suz will share what God has laid upon their heart for PowerHouse in 2005. All young adults are encouraged to join this session.
