We had the honour of having Kar Peng, deacon at Lifespring, share his testimony of how God saved him, encountered him, and released him to be a blessing. As Kar Peng was sharing, I felt God wanted to encourage this family that there is much yet to come. Like Kar, many of us have had encounters with God. His real, tangible, and overwhelming presence has swept over us and God has truly saved and encountered us. Yet sometimes the encounters…

We had such an amazing privilege to hear from 2 missionaries during our Sunday Celebration. Mary ChoA missionary to Sierra Leone who works with the blind and the deaf. She left Toronto (as a Durham teacher for 15 years working with the deaf) to follow where God was directing her. An amazing woman whose heart is revealed with every word (almost always quivering with love) – her heart cry is that though the world may have forgotten about Sierra Leone…

What an amazing presence of God all throughout Sunday Celebration. From worship, to Sari’s testimony, to Donna – there was a tangible and thick presence of God. A presence in which one could rest and stay in – a presence in which it seems all troubles and challenges fade away – a presence in which the peace of God fills you right up. And when the final prayers are lifted, the joy of community fades, and work/responsibilities come rushing back……

What a tremendous privilege it was to have our Board of Directors – Secretary, Mae Tuin, share with us this past Sunday. A glimpse into the lives of Dave & Mae-Tuin and the goodness of God that surrounds them. As Mae-Tuin was sharing, I felt like God wanted to highlight a word for the family; part of maturity is responsibility. We become responsible over self and as God trusts, responsible to care for others. I truly believe that the assignment…

Every year in the Wee household we stand all the kids against the wall and see how much they have grown over the past year. It is always followed with screams and shouts of excitement, “Did I get taller”?! What I found most interesting is that the entire year they were all getting taller, but only when they stood by their measurements were they excited to see how much they have grown. Like these little kids, we too can get…

When I married Karyne, I told her I was a great boyfriend, but I had no idea how to be a husband. When I became a father to Justus, I didn’t tell him – but the same rule applied, I had no idea what it meant to be a father. Ignorance often results in experimentation. Experimentation can lead to disaster. Imagine being on an island and seeing a brand new car for the very first time. You have no idea…

What a great privilege it was to have Leona Lee, our Chair of the Board of Directors, share with the church family. Her testimony, journey, and continued story is a testimony of loving God and making every effort to live it out daily. In our journey of maturity we begin to see the things that are not aligned to God (Psalm 139:23-24), we begin to be sensitive to His voice and his convictions of where we need to align with…

We had the privilege of hearing from Peggy Leung share her testimony and how God has been working in her family’s life. As Peggy was sharing, she showed a picture of the lifecycle of a butterfly and the different seasons of life (Caterpillar – Cocoon – Butterfly). And she said something that I felt the Lord wanted to highlight: “The caterpillar does not try to be the butterfly and the butterfly does not try to be the caterpillar”. How strange…

In 2018, our Hope Deacon – Joshua Wee – brought up the idea of giving winter & summer care packages. It was birthed when Josh saw a man asking for help at a routine red light. God gave him an idea that the church has adopted and will continue to adopt – to always have something to give, to simply care. As a confession, whenever I would see a person at a red light in need, my immediate reaction was…

Today I want to appreciate all you moms out there. Physical mama, spiritual mama, soon to be mama, one day mama – I actually want to appreciate every female in this house. If I ask you today why we appreciate the females in our lives – we could probably list 1000 things! We want to appreciate all the things you do – but not only do we want to appreciate the things our females do – more importantly we want…

What a priviledge it was to have our Deacon of Technology, Nick Chua, speak and share with the church family. As Nick shared his life journey he kept going back to a question deep within, Am I Worthy to be Loved? In the midst of youth and making bad decisions like being with friends who stole cars – am I worthy to be loved? In the days of growth, graduating from University, getting a job, having a salary – am…
