基督徒是一班世上特有的人(惟有你们是被拣选的族类).头戴救恩的头盔,
心以基督的心为心,脚穿福音行动………他们的生活与热心的表现是不可
理喻的,以至被世人看为是疯子或傻子.但今天这个世界却因这许多的[疯
与傻]的人而变的更加美丽!换句话说,若能使这世界更美更有希望, 我宁
愿成为疯子或傻瓜.

对於爱大华卫理公会.我愿意同大家一起有一个相当疯狂的 [2005异像]说
它是疯狂, 因为它是个不容易达到.也要叫许多人付上代价的大工程.将动
用到的人力物力将会是空前的.我很肯定这是上帝对爱大华堂的心意.也是
我在这事奉的原因.从1999年到2005年,一共是七年的时间.若要倒数,只有
5年10个月的时间了.在这段日子里面,我们要达到的目标是:-1).爱大华堂
各项事工取得进展其中包括了更多的会友投入积极事奉的行列与建立工作
团队2). 信徒在生活的各个层面当中藉着真理的领受达致成熟.3).建立爱
大华堂成为一间积极宣教的教会.4).全面涵括各年龄阶层并有专人负责的
各项事工.在达致目标的努力上,我们无可否认的,已经有一个很好的开始.
例如:1). 各项主要事工都取得进展.2). 信徒领受主自己话语的教导.3).
教会走上宣教的路向.不过我们仍然面对许多的挑战,包括:1).需要有更多
的会友参与事奉.范围包括:主日学教师,青少年工作,音乐,布道,社会关怀
,关心照顾会友,祷告,维修,清洁与美化,服务与招待,组织与行政, 以及教
导工作等等.2). 需要有更多会友明白十一奉献的真理以及有实行的信心.
3).需要一些人作特别的奉献, 特别是在时间与经济上.教会若没有人顺服
圣灵的感动在这方面为主而献上, 我们的目标就会面对阻碍.3).在音乐与
崇拜的范围里面, 我们开始了华英崇拜. 并靠主恩典使他更为美好.4).在
基督教教育的范围里面有:   (I)爱大华牧区青少年事工小组的学业奖励.
(II)[爱的家节][家居安全]展览(09/07/2000开始)及图书馆服务以及[识
字班],[祈祷学习班]等等.5). 在社会关怀方面包括:-医院探访,收集旧衣
物等等.6). 宣教与布道方面最主要的是  13/08-10/09  的第二届宣教月
.今年将组织宣教队到甘光马坡为主作工(日期:04-08/09/2000).7).最后,
再次向大家提及[爱的家节]. 除了在前面所提及关于[爱的家节]的安排之
外,[爱的家节]还包括了:a).13-14/07/2000(星期五至星期六:2天一夜):

Introduction: Christians  are a special sect of people on earth
(Only  you  are the choosen one among the species).Wearing  the 
helmet of saving grace,putting Jesus heart in the centre of our
hearts. The feet wearing the  action of the  Gospel.Their lives 
and  zeal are beyond normalcy,inasmuch as that they are conside
-red as mad or silly.But the world today, because of so many of
these mad or silly people, it has become a more beautiful place
with  more  hope then I am  willing  to be a mad man or a fool.

Contents:  For Ayer Tawar Methodist Church,I am willing to join 
all in a  rather crazy 2005vision.To say it is crazy because it
is not  easy to  achieve  and it also needs many to pay a price 
for this scheme  with  unprecendented  mobilisation  of man and 
materials.  I am  sure  it  is the  will  of God for Ayer Tawar 
Church  and the  reason of my  service here. From 1999 to 2005, 
a total of seven  years. The  count down, as a  matter  of fact 
is only 5  years  10 months` time  Only. During  this  period , 
we want to achieve the goals  such as  (1)A marked  improvement
in  all  the  different  areas of  work  including more members 
involved  in  active  works and  to  form  a  work  force team.
(2)From receiving  the  Truth  Christians  attained maturity in
the   different   aspects  in  lives.  (3)To build  Ayer  Tawar 
Church int an  active mission  church.  (4)To  include  members 
of  all  ages  and  stratas in the different areas of work with
professional guidance.  Towards  these  goals  we  cannot  deny 
that  we  already  have  a  very good beginning. e.g(1)There is
improvement  in  all  different  areas  of  work.  (2)Believers 
receive  crell  the  teaching  of  God`s  Words. (3)The  church 
embarks  or  mission  works.  But  we are still faced with many
challenges,  including:-  (1)Need  for  more  members  to  join 
in   service , such  as  Sunday  School  Teachers,  MIF  &  MYF 
works,  music,  evangelism,  Social  concern,  members  welfare,
prayer,  repair,   cleaning   and   beautification,  serving  & 
ushering,    organising   and   administering,   teaching   and 
training  works.  (2)Need  for  more members  to understand the 
Truth  on  Tithes  &  the  faith  to put it to practice.(3)Need
some  to  have   special   offering   especially  in  time  and 
finance.  If  there is  no  one  deferential to the Holy Spirit 
and  be  sacrificial  in  these  aspects.  Then  our  goals are
faced   with   obstacles  (3)On  music  and  worship,  we  have 
started  the  Mandarin  English  service,  with  the  grace  of 
God   it   turns  out   to   be  good  indeed. (4)On  Christian 
Education  I), Financial   awards   for  academic   excellences 
for  MIF  &  MYF  A/T  area.2).An  exhibition  on  Home  Safety 
(starting 9/7/2000),   Library    service,    Literacy   class. 
Blessings  Intercessions   class,   etc.    (5)On  mission  and 
Evangelism  Foremost,   a   second   mission   month  13/8-10/9.
A   mission   team  will   do  mission   work   in   Kg. Merbau 
(Date 4-8/9/2000)Lastly, once again do remember the Family  Day 
or  Agape  Home Day. Other  then  the  0arrangements  mentioned
 earlier it also includes. (a)13/7-14/7/2000 (Fri & Sat: 2 days
