fgcvoice 全备之声

We all feel that this year has so far been a very editor’s unusual one for everyone of us; young and old; voice near and far; local and overseas; men and women. All around the world people just like us are feeling the impact of an unseen enemy called Covid-19. Such a pandemic that in the last 50-70 years no one has experienced before. No one knows how to tread as the word ‘new normal’ hits us. Many things have changed and many lives are now lived “online”. Our services are online, our FGC voice is also online; one of our couples got married and their ceremony was carried online. YES AND YET AT A TIME SUCH AS THIS, OUR GOD IS STRONG AND STILL AT WORK IN MANY LIVES. ONE THING STANDS UNCHANGING AND THAT IS OUR GOD AND HIS WORD. We bring you stories of lives who have been impacted by God and testifies that He is alive and He is work- ing. He is still the Waymaker, the Promise Keeper, the Light in the Darkness. Even when we don’t see or feel it He is still at work. Read on and be encouraged. Consequently if you have a story to share, please feel free to contact us as we would love to fea- ture your story. Call us at 07-3540548. Thanks to all who work behind the scenes; writing, editing, translating, designing to bring you this Edi- tion of FGC Voice. #stay safe and stay blessed 2

Scientific studies have also attested to the strong correlation between healthy connections and physical health and psychological well-being. Hence when I saw one of these church members, I was truly happy because I saw in them a beloved family member; someone who has been a blessing, an encouragement, a strength and a comfort to me. 5 ways we can improve on our connections and yet stay safe Due to the current practice of physical distancing and the ensuing isolation, we need to make a conscious effort to reach out to connect with each other more than ever before. Let me quickly list 5 ways we can improve on our con- nections and yet stay safe. 科研报道也印证了良性连结，健康的身体 及心理健康是紧密挂钩的。这就是为什 么当我见到这位在教会里被自己视为亲爱 家人的弟兄时，心里充满了喜乐。对我来 说他是神赐给我的祝福、鼓励、力量以及 安慰。 五项能促进我们与他人联系， 同时又能确保个人安全的方法 因着行管令迫使我们保持安全距离，甚至 有时得被隔离，很多时候我们需要比以往 更积极去彼此联系。接下来我要与各位 分享五项能促进我们与他人联系，同时又 能确保个人安全的方法。 9

She needed guid- ance for school, as she was doing badly with her Bahasa Malaysia and English languages. As I was feeling guilt-ridden and eager to correct, I shout- ed and expressed my anger towards her when she did something wrong. At times, I would be so furious that my body would tremble with anger. Our relationship did not change for the better; instead it became worse. At that time, I did not empathize with my daughter. I had taken her to live with me, and that meant a sudden change to her social environment. She had to leave her grandmother, school and childhood friends. Not only was there no love, care and empathy after being back with mom, there were anger and accusations. However, I thank God that our relationship was not completely broken, though there were cracks. Jesus mended the relationship After believing in Christ, Jesus miraculously mended the relationship between me and my daughter. The Lord never ceases to amaze me with his miraculous abundance and love, result- ing in me ever wanting to attend Sunday ser- vices, cell group gatherings, sister’s fellowships, Bible study classes, baptism workshops, ‘New Life’ courses, camps et cetera. Through learning, devotion, prayer, worship and drawing near to God, I began to view my daughter from God’s perspective. I began to believe that God has a unique and wonderful plan for her life. 26

covid-19 & disappointment My brother’s wedding was to have been one of the most joyous occasions for my family, except that there were multiple hurdles faced due to the strict safety precautions and requirements to adhere to, because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Initially, I made a difficult decision to stay back in Singapore and miss the wed- ding due to the challenges of crossing the border. As my family was preparing for the wedding, I naturally felt disappointed knowing I would be missing this once in a lifetime event for my brother. a personally crafted surprise from god However, on 15th July, just two weeks before the wed- ding day, the government had announced Singapore and Malaysia to resume controlled cross-border travel on 10th of August. This piece of news came forth like a ray of hope, and I gave going back to Malaysia a second thought. In order to make it for the wedding day held on 1st of August, I had to return to Malaysia by 17th of July to complete my 14 days quarantine in time. This meant that I was only left with one day to get approval from my employer, pack my luggage, and go through the checkpoint clearance procedures. By God’s grace, I managed to clear every single challenge that came my way. I do not know how I managed to stay calm the whole time. IT SUDDENLY DAWNED ON ME THAT CONSID- ERING THE PRECISE TIMING AND ACCURACY OF THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE, IT WAS ONLY MADE POSSIBLE WITH GOD’S INTERVENTION. AT THAT MOMENT, I BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND THAT ALL MY PREVIOUS DISAPPOINTMENTS AND FRUSTRATIONS WERE NECESSARY FOR ME TO APPRECIATE THIS IMPOSSIBLE, YET PERSONALLY CRAFTED SURPRISE FROM GOD! 30

As expected, God made all things fall into place, and I was able to arrive safely in Singapore on the 18th of August.
