The intensifying Tchoukball match under the heavy downpour!

(adapted from Caleb Lim's photo album)
It was a day where an intensifying match took place between team Apple from YM and team Orange from YM. Both sides battled really hard under the heavy downpour! but in the end it was team Orange who won the 99 goal thriller, 50-49.

Location: Bethesda Serangoon Church (Thanks Reon for opening up your church!, really thank God how He always provides for us when we needed him! The second time God answered our prayers! First if u look back when kovan team cldnt find a place to train, we headed to wesley for the equipments & now when wesley cldnt find a place to train we headed down to kovan area at reon's church! and ironically both happened on a public holiday!)

(the warm up!)

(the battle begins!)

(the defending!)

(the attacks!)


(the injuries!)

It was one of the more memorable wesley ym tchoukball events for me! Really excited at how this tchoukball ministry can grow from next year to come! When our very own younger players step up to lead this ministry and who knows a couple of them might be playing for the national team next year! =)

Times well spend with churchies!

After a looooooooooong 2 weeks away from home, its really good to be back for awhile with like-minded people right after my booked out...like with the the ym leaders at mlm , followed by meeting up with more churchies at Chieh ming's wedding and than a good evening spent with my beloved small grp God's Clay!


(The scrumptious meal that benlei cooked for us at his house as we had a good dinner before we had some bible study!)

Looking back i'm really just so grateful and thankful of how GOD sustained me Spiritually,mentally & physically in the 10 days I was in the mud & storms in the outfield of tekong the last 2 weeks! It sure was quite a memorable experience which change me a lot!

Objection 1: Since Suffering & Evil Exist , A Loving God cannot?

That was the topic that my small grp discussed yesterday in our new curriculum on A CASE FOR FAITH by Lee Strobel! And through the discussion what concluded the long deep discussion on questions that agnostic or atheist wld asks like how can u explained all those "evils" in this world today... like Famine, Wars, terrorism..etc.etc...Wells (although we know that suffering happens bcoz of the consequences of Sins of so many different people out there in this world).....but others wld ask this than "How than does this prove that God is Loving?" or "How can God bear with all the sufferings in this world?" At the end of the day at "What point of suffering would actually disproved the existence of God?"....

wells... like me remind you if you have all forgotten...

God actually DID LITERALLY bore all the sufferings of this world...and that is what we Christians firmly believed and that is the amazing gospel story that we can concluded. GOD actually did had a GREAT SOLUTION to all those questions on sufferings & evil that we always throw out at God... The solution was God because of His GREAT LOVE for us... He sent His One and Only son Jesus Christ ...who is wholly GOD humbled himself by coming down as a human who actually took ALL the suffering of the world with His own body, as He bore the whole world's sins with His Blood on the CROSS at CALVARY and through that act He has CLEASE us all and FORGIVE ALL OUR SINs! And that gave us the bridge to overcome the sins of this world to whoever who BELIEVED in HIM!!!!

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

Now who can questioned the LOVE of GOD after what He did for us at that CROSS on Calvary?
Maybe now we should ask ourself instead ...WHY did WE have to allow suffering in this World?
