Christmas Assembly 2006 compiled:  The Chocolate Christmas Story

 

Joseph and Mary travelled to Bethlehem along a Rocky Road.

They became tired on the journey and needed a a BOOST, so Joseph decided it was time to stop for a PICNIC.

 

When they arrived at Bethlehem the only place to stay was a stable full of Furry Friends where the Baby Jesus was born.

 

That night in a field near Bethlehem some shepherds where minding their sheep. It was so cold that the grass was Crunchie. As they were watching their sheep they were kinder Surprise by some angels who told them to go to Bethlehem and see this newborn King.

 

Meanwhile, in the east there were three Smarties or wise men who were studying the stars of the Milky Way when they saw a huge star. They first thought it might have been the planet Mars, but it wasn't. They followed the star. When the arrived at Bethlehem they entered and presented their Bounty of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.

That night, the three wise men had a dream in which God warned them that King Herod was up to his old twix so they returned home without telling him about Jesus.

 

You see, Christmas is more than Santa, Reindeer and Snowflake. It is more than having lots and lots of food to chomp on. We can get into so much of a twirl to organize Christmas we forget what it is really about.

 

This Christmas we need to take some Time Out and remember that the best thing about Christmas is JESUS.

Newsletter Vol 7 - 2007

Hi Family

 

Here is my newsletter with pics of new place I’ve moved too. I've also been blessed with a scooter to get around with; I will get it as soon as I have my license. I renewed my ARC, but I’m waiting for the Foreign affairs office to stamp it. Yesterday they said I must wait to two weeks, the communication between offices are so confusing at times. Please continue to pray for the visa offices. Thanks.

 

I went to visit friends and church in Tainan  last weekend as friends are going on holiday to South Africa and it was my church's anniversary. It was awesome to see hands raised of people who are willing to grow in God and answer the call for missions, planting churches fulfilling the great commission. Amen!

 

The weather is changing drastically here, it's affecting to my chest, so I don’t go out late night and drink cold drinks or food is a big no-no for me at the moment.

 

I'm excited about what God is doing and will keep you updated.

 

Love and blessings

Adele
 

GOD BLESSES YOU!

Creation video clip

I found the following video clip extremely touching and thought i'll share it with you.
It shows that God created us and how the world(Satan) deceive us and lure us quicker to death.
We have to make the decision to give in or stand against the devil's schemes and win with Jesus by our side. Who do you choose?

Blessings.

Who is I Am

I Am

While praying one day, a woman asked, “who are you, Lord?”

 

He answered “I Am”

But who is I Am? She asked

 

And He replied

 

I Am love

I Am Peace

I Am Grace

I Am Joy

I Am the way, the Truth and the Light,

I Am the Comforter

I Am Strength

I Am Safety

I Am Shelter

I Am Power

I Am Creator

I Am the beginning and the End

I Am the Most High

 

The lady with tears in her eyes looked toward Heaven and said, “Now I understand, but Lord, who am I?”

 

Then God tenderly wiped the tears from her eyes and whispered “You are Mine”

 

Base Day 22/10/07

Link

Wow, It was the first time after the Taiwan Staff Conference that we got together with the Taipei base again and just chilled, caught up with each other, shared lunch and then the fun & games began.

I unfortunately ran myself out of breath with the soccer games and took the rest easy.  It was awesome to take such a break. Check out the pics at the following link. I'm the one pointing at all the stickies on my face and orange T-Shirt.

Blessings

Taoyuan City in Taiwan

Link

Follow the link!!

Here are some pictures of my new (since September 2006) home town called Taoyuan City. Tainan had a lot more historical places seeing it was first city in Taiwan. Taoyuan on the other hand does not have such deep historical meaning and places to it. I still have to explore, I would have to travel to the subburbs to see more beauty spots.

Right now I'm happy to have a park, river and mountain with trails in close fascinity for a change of scenary. That's enough for me. I got a bicycle to ride around and working on getting a drivers lisence. God has been blessing me and suprising me greatly. I can't stop praising Him for all He is doing.

well, I got to run. Blessing yall.

Prayer needed

Hi Yall

It's been such an awesome weekend to see old buddies and new friends wanting to learn more about Jesus. I visited my church there and shared my joy and work in YWAM for all to see the big picture. I Thank God for the blessings of prayers, encouragements, smiles and finances. It was great to visit Tainan. I have so many homes now.

Here back in Taoyuan we are preparing for the UofN (University of the Nations) Workshop that we are hosting from September 3rd - 9th,2008. You are welcome to visit the UofN website www.uofnworkshop.com to find out what its all about. I would need my fees of $70 USD or     2 297 NT (Taiwan dollars). Please pray with me for all my finances to come in soon.

In short, it will be a great time of sharpening our vision, to hear God and His plans for the future as all YWAMers get together through GENESIS link from four different countries to worship God.

1. Please pray that all traveling here would get their visas approved and arrive safely.
2. Pray that we would hear clearly, stepping boldly in obedience according to His word.
3. Pray that His Spirit would move among us in such a way that the city of Taoyuan would get hungry for God.
4. Pray for more Taiwanese missionaries in Taiwan sent out.
5. Please pray for all finances to come in as God is our Father and we trust Him. He has all the riches in the world.

Stay hungry for more of God always!!

Blessings to all.

Adele Liebich, your missionary in Taiwan

 

Newsletter Vol 4 - 2007

July has been quite a chalange for me, teaching English Camp in the morning, then lunch and straight into computer learning as our previous computer tech friend is visiting two weeks and I need to pick his brain as much as I can.

Then I've doubled my exersice time with walking Bingo twice a day and I new it will be challenging and stretching in the physical area. So, all in all I've overworked myself in some areas and rested in others.

God is good though all the time and I'm glad that I could say I did not get too stressed out myself or for the people around me.

Please read the newsletter attached for prayer requests and needs. Thanks for your time.

Blessings

Many of them has seen God do great things in their lives and suddenly the last couple of weeks been pulling them together to work in unity.

Newsletter Vol 3 - 2007

 Time to catch up. This letter was ment to be out in time for Mother's day, but as we say, "Rather late than never."

So, I would try to write as often as I can in the blog apart from the Newsletter every two or three months. I see yall are very busy yourselves as I get very little response and that's ok, I get busy too, know the feeling.

I pray that you find the time in your day to read a bit more.That you are able to find some catch up time with your buddies, and count your blessing  instead of getting stuck in working mode and no time for yourself. For satan will try his best to keep us apart from each other. Let's keep the unity in God.

Love in Christ

Do we always realize how blessed we are.
I started counting my blessing since I'm  often wrapped up in the busy routine of the day.
See how many things you can say thank you for or add to the list.

I'm blessed to have:

a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in.
a clean shower with hot and cold water
clean water to drink
clothes on my body
food to eat
a love for people, helping wherever I can
a bicycle
a phone and/or computer/or a camera
the capibility to walk, run and jump
five senses (eyes, ears, nose, mouth and hands) all working in its full capicity
an unexpected hug or smile
air to breathe
and so much more.............

So, even though I might not have all the money in this world to buy everything I desire, God has blessed me with so much more. Focused on my NEEDS , then on what I want.

Matt 6:33 says: "First seek the Kingdom of God and then all righteousness shall be added unto you."

 I thank God daily for every little blessing he gives us.

Global Prayer Day 27th May

On 15 May 2005 millions of Christians from 156 nations in the world united in the first ever Global Day of Prayer. Christians gathered in different venues, seeking God's face in repentance and prayer for the transformation of their communities and nations.

Driven by Hab. 2:14 ("For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea"), the dream is to mobilize Christians from every single nation in the world to participate in the Global Day of Prayer over the next few years until 2010. However, the focus is not only on a single day of prayer, but to see a lifestyle of prayer established that will transform communities.

On Pentecost Sunday, 4 June 2006, an even greater number of Christians from 199 nations joined this mighty move of God.

On Pentecost Sunday, 27 May 2007, the nations of the world will once again unite in the Global Day of Prayer.

Here are some things to pray for as pastors and leadership are preparing and fasting for the big day.

The prayer meeting should be held in a neutral venue and be accessible to the whole community. The venue could be anything from a sport stadium, school sports grounds, open land, auditorium, tent, prayer house, town hall, church building, etc.

Cities and densely populated areas can host several Day of Repentance and Prayer events at the same time, instead of one major event. This will simplify logistical arrangements, keep costs down and help to get buy-in from the local communities.  

Pray for the venue for the Day of Repentance and Prayer, also keep in mind the weather, start/finish time of the event, availability of public transport, number of people expecting, etc.

Pray for good sound system. 
         

Here just some do's and don'ts to keep in mind and pray along.

DO’S and DON’TS

DO’S
o    The Lord Jesus Christ, and Him alone must be lifted high.
o    The focus of the day is Repentance and Prayer.
o    Speeches & messages should be kept to a minimum.
o    Titles of those participating/leading from the stage are irrelevant.
o    No great names should be promoted or used to draw people.
o    The process must be Non-denominational, Non-racial and Non-political.
o    The Organising Committee should be representative of the community.
o    “Middle of the Road” songs, choirs, bands, etc. should be used in the program. Try to accommodate as many denominations, churches and communities as possible.
o    Invite the community/political leaders to the event, but without a platform to address the crowd. 
o    Positioning of the stage is important (sun, speaker visibility).
o    LEAVE THE STADIUM SPOTLESS.
o    Have a Plan B ready (in case of rain and/or strong wind, etc.) 
o    Always strive towards excellence
-    Program content
-    Sound system
-    Time keeping

DON’T’S
o    No political speeches.
o    No marketing of individual ministries.
o    No selling of CD’s of performing artists.
o    No non-Christian activities.

Let's all stand together.

Blessings
Adele
