FIRST Night of ASIA CONFERENCE was a BLAST!!! I didnt go for the next elective but went coffeebean to study with Mike. It turned out to be a casual chatting session and nothing really went into my mind...Haha..But it was a great time of relaxing as we prepare for dinner and the night session. Pastor Kong's anchor service was amazing and the word was indeed strong and powerful. Not everyone can be brought up into the third space (position of leadership/great influence) but everyone of us can be empowered in the 1st space (church) to impact out 2nd space (marketplace) and do something great for His kingdom. Let's be warriors and fight for the cause we are living for!!! Amen~
Really power packed to the max. I reached there about 1145am to meet my cg members for the welcome lunch and was greeted with an enormous crowd waiting to be fed. The queue for registration was ultra long and "I-serve" personnel were busy attending to so many requests from the delegates.
Hungry souls queueing for the food!
We were treated to quite a sumptuous lunch but I was not able to get the complete set as I was busy conversing with some delegates from Taiwan. Most of them came to Singapore only for the first time just to attend this conference! Woa! Would I be treated the same way if I go to one of the taiwan churches? hehe...
The elective I attended was on Organizational Leadership and the speaker was none other than Jeffrey Rachmat, the guy who preached in one of the leaders' meeting before. He taught from experience and I learnt so many things from him. One important point to prevent any organisation from dying is to avoid the aging phase and to do something about it! And also the point about how throughout our lives in managing organisation, we should lead 50% of ourselves, lead down 5%, lead laterally 20% and lead up 25%. It truly impacted me. 
Night session was phenomenal with many display of colourful people and props and it just reminded me of chingay parade when the colourful vehicles were wheeled out...hehe..
The second day of AC awaits... It may be wise enough for me to set aside time for friday paper revision too. But AC has totally revved me up and I am so excited for more. Nevertheless, shall be faithful and do my best and trust God for the rest. Oh yea~
