NECF Prayer Alert - 8th January 2010

Happy New Year

It's 9.00 pm now, New Year's eve as I write this. I will shortly go to our church for an all night prayer meeting. Instead of revelry and partying like lots of people all over the world, greeting the countdown for the new year, our church folks will spend the time sharing about God's faithfulness and giving thanks for the year gone by as we look forward to the new.

This afternoon, the nation received news that the Roman Catholic Church's legal action against the Malaysian government for banning their newsletter from using the word "Allah" for God has succeeded in the High Court. This is a great present for all sensible people in our nation. The judge is a brave one. The Malaysian government, of course, can appeal the decision and it could be overturned. But for this long weekend, let's revel in the fact that miracles still happen and as we look forward to 2010, let's keep the faith that there are many more brave people out there.

1 Kings 19:18 NIV
18 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel-all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and all whose mouths have not kissed him."

Have a Blessed and Joyful New Year. May our Lord Jesus Christ draw all men unto Himself as we lift Him high in our lives.

We've A Story to Tell to the Nations

We've a Story to Tell to the Nations

Words and music by H. Ernest Nichol

Just think of it. You are in a major metropolis. An incredible event has occured in a nearby town. Newspaper boys are shouting, "Extra! Extra!" People are buying the news as fast as they can get their hands on it. You finally get your hands on a copy of this special edition paper. The headline reads, "Child Visited." You scan the lead article and find out that important people had come from a distant country expecting to find a king. Of course, first they had gone to the nation's capital, but after a brief visit they had gone to an outlying town to visit a two-year-old boy and his parents. They gave the child some precious and deeply symbolic gifts. Gifts to recognize eternal wealth and power. Gifts to recognize deity. Gifts to foretell sadness and sacrifice. Everyone is talking about "the story."

It is a fantastic event. But there is something missing in this newspaper. There are no follow up interviews with the visitors. No comments from the child's parents. Not even a background profile on the child. Instead, it seems that everyone involved in the story has vanished. The visitors have left town, and the boy's family seems to have packed up and moved away over night. Even worse, the government has declared the child a "dangerous fugitive," and has decided to respond to the perceived threat by ordering the deaths of every boy toddler in the land. What an incredible tragedy! The entire nation mourns.

Thirty years go by. The sharp pain of killing the children has become a dull, throbbing memory. You wonder whether the visitors knew about the pain and destruction they had left behind them. And then another day of excitement comes. "Extra! Extra!" come the calls again. This is truly peculiar. The Sunday morning paper have already been delivered. Who ever heard of an extra edition on a Sunday? This really must be special, so you buy a copy. It seems that you have found more about the story that had been printed thirty years before. The two-year-old boy had escaped the government's death decree as a toddler, only to be crucified as an adult. But there was more--this man who was crucified is alive again! What a story!

Stories like this would make the news headlines around the globe if they happened today. And guess what--these stories do happen in the hearts of people every day! This week's featured hymn was written by H. Ernest Nichol (1862-1928). Nichol had a story to tell, and this is how he told it:

1. We've a story to tell to the nations, that shall turn their hearts to the right, a story of truth and mercy, a story of peace and light, a story of peace and light. (Refrain)	2. We've a song to be sung to the nations, that shall lift their hearts to the Lord, a song that shall conquer evil and shatter the spear and sword, and shatter the spear and sword. (Refrain)
3. We've a message to give to the nations, that the Lord who reigneth above hath sent us his Son to save us, and show us that God is love, and show us that God is love. (Refrain)	4. We've a Savior to show to the nations, who the path of sorrow hath trod, that all of the world's great peoples might come to the truth of God, might come to the truth of God. (Refrain)
Refrain: For the darkness shall turn to dawning, and the dawning to noonday bright; and Christ's great kingdom shall come on earth, the kingdom of love and light.

We still have this story to tell, this song to be sung, this message to give, this Savior to show. May you carry the message of this hymn in your heart and in your life every day.

God bless you--

Crossover Training (from Adult EE to Xee) - Jan 7-8, 2010

This Xee Crossover Training for Adult EE teacher-trainers seeks to teach Xee to certified Adult EE teacher-trainers taking into account all that they have learned in Adult EE. Xee is a newly developed tool for teaching the EE principles using the latest technology in training, learning and communication.

In this 2-day 16 hours course, certified Adult EE teacher-trainers will learn about Xee and be certified as Facilitators to implement Xee in their local churches and Christian fellowship environment. The standard Xee clinic is 3 1/2 days so this 2-days training will only teach what is new in Xee and includes the new teaching and learning methodology.

Xee is easy to learn and easy to teach. As a result of this, more believers would be able to equip other believers to share their faith. This is already happening as we see Xee being used more and more in our nation and elsewhere.

(Due to the nature of this Crossover Training, we cannot accept participants for this training unless they have been previously certified as Adult EE teacher-trainers.)

Those who have no previous experience in Adult EE may attend a full 3 1/2 days Xee clinic nearest to them. The next Xee clinic is in Emmanuel EFC Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur.
