Urban Street Outreach (USO) outing for the month of September 2008

Our CG involved in Urban Street Outreach (USO) last friday night. It has been an awesome experience especially for me. However, it started with a little havoc whereby I forgotten my camera's battery. Well, I went back and grab it.

Picture here taken when Benji went back and drive his car out. Jon is patiently waiting and Pik Yee started calling :)

Eric looking forward to the outing. Poor guy carrying two bags.

Daniel and Pik Yee crack jokes while waiting.. A long wait.. haha.

Finally Benji (our beloved CG leader) arrived in style. I can't remember what is their conversation about. From the picture, it seems like they are ready for a fight :)

USO person in-charge giving us (most of us are first timers) briefing on what we should and shouldn't do during the outing. I only remembered one thing he said, which is "let the lord lead you on the talking and conversation with the homeless people".

Jireh unlimited CG members focusing to the leader's words. 100% concentration.
We are loading the mineral water, fried rice, biscuits and toilet rolls into the van for distribution.

Benji, Alex and USO leader chatting to a homeless person. From the picture it seems like we are picking a fight.

I can't take many of these pictures as I am afraid they will get offended. Our intention for the outing is to help and talk to them. Hence when we are doing the actual work, I kept my camera in the bag.

Some of us standing against the van especially the girls in this picture because there is a drunk homeless person at the other side. For safety purpose, the girls were told to stay close to the van.

Our contributors of the USO outing, Mr plastic bag man (Jon) and Benji.

Contributors from Jireh Unlimited, from left to right. Eric, Phooi Theng, Pik Yee, Jon, Benji, Damien (myself) and Alex.

Benji likes this picture of him. Snapped after we completed out task near Komtar. He said want to put this on facebook. Let me see whether the hands behind can be erased :)

A candid shot and just fast enough to catch Eric yawn. It is ~2am. Everyone was tired and sleepy after the outing. But I am sure everyone was glad that we did something good and contributed to the community. I am glad and I am proud to be a member of Jireh Unlimited CG.

Jireh Unlimited Weekly Announcement: September Week 2

Hi everyone….

Doing great this week? :). Weather has been cold and I hope you guys are wearing enough in the office so that you don’t catch cold. :)

It’s going to be a short announcement this week with two main things:

  1. This Friday, we’ll be having Late Night Prayer @ EPCC @ 8.15pm – 11.30pm. Come and join all of us in prayer for our nation, for FPC and other upcoming events in EPCC. Again, for those who think this is a boring event, come and it will change your mind. It’ll be a night of worship and praying all together. You won’t have chance to feel sleepy at all. :)
  2. Besides, on the same day (Friday), our CG (together with other CGs – Zion, Pearl of Joy, Pekaka CG) will lead the Morning Prayer on Friday Morning 6am – 7am. I know it’s hard to wake up early in the morning esp. the weather is so niceeee to zzzzz these days, but let’s just try our best. If you need morning call, tell Benji, he’ll gladly call you guys (right, bro? :))

Jon is currently out of Malaysia (I think he’s now in Bangkok) for his business. He’ll be back on Saturday evening. Do keep him in your prayer for his safety in his travel.

OK, that’s all for this week. Enjoy the nice weather, and wear thicker, stay healthy, and see you guys soon. God bless! :)
