PROFIT FELLOWSHIP - CHRISTMAS OUTREACH

Dedication Prayer

Pastor and his Son !

Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts .

This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring rain.


The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, 'OK, dad, I'm ready.'


His Pastor dad asked, 'Ready for what?'

'Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out.'

Dad responds, 'Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring rain.'

The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, 'But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?'

Dad answers, 'Son, I am not going out in this weather.'

Despondently, the boy asks, 'Dad, can I go? Please?'

His father hesitated for a moment then said, 'Son, you can go.

Here are the tracts, be careful son.'

'Thanks Dad!'


And with that, he was off and out into the rain. This eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract .


After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted.

Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang the door bell. He rang the bell, but nobody answered.

He rang it again and again, but still no one answered. He waited but still no answer.

Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something stopped him.


Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist.. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch!


He rang again and this time the door slowly opened.


Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, 'What can I do for you, son?' With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, 'Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that * JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU * and I came to give you my very last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE.'


With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave..

She called to him as he departed. 'Thank you, son! And God Bless You!'

Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service began, he asked, 'Does anybody have testimony or want to say anything?'

Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet.

As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, 'No one in this church knows me. I've never been here before. You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world. Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live.


So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck. Standing on that chair, so lonely and broken-hearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, 'I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away.'


I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly...

I thought to myself again, 'Who on earth could this be? Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me.' I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.

When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you!
The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, 'Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU .' Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand. As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them any more..


You see-- -I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract, I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell.'


There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honour to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated..

He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably. Remember, God's message CAN make the difference in the life of someone close to you..

Spread His word, and share His goodness and faithfulness.



Matthew 10:32 says:

'Whoever acknowledges Me before men, I will acknowledge him before My Father in heaven. But whoever disowns Me before men, I will disown him before My Father in heaven'

Greetings in the matchless name of Jesus Christ!!


From the statistics of ministry of manpower (MOM), there are nearly 995,000 work permit/S-pass holders in Singapore. They are working in various sectors across various industries in Singapore.

By the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ, we as Gems team (likeminded working professionals from different denominations / churches) visit our neighborhood dormitories every weekend on Sunday evenings near Boonlay area (kian tech lane) where our Indian migrant workers are stationed. Our main principle goes by as spelt in Proverbs 11:30, "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise".

We positioned Blue star dormitory as our anchor point and started our Evangelism works from there. We started distributing tracts every weekend, counsel them on a regular basis, stand with them in prayer and uplift their soft skills for their betterment in their workplace.

With Lord's hand covering us, after 2+ years our Lord is leading us in a clear definite path where we hit an average attendance of 30 workers attending our evening service on Sundays. It's really a tough ground for evangelism as they come from different assorted places and the tough mindset they have after a hard-hit labour working for six and sometimes seven days a week. With no church support, we as an independent body, wanted to do something for the Lord and be part of the Great Commission and understanding our mandate as spelt in Mark 16:15 "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature", have established the following purely by His Grace:
 One-to-one evangelism & Tracts Distribution
 Praying for the Salvation of new souls
 Basic Computer course
 Basic English speaking course
 Sunday Evening service with Worship, Sharing of Word and Fellowship
 Bible Study on Saturday evenings for mature believers near Blue star dormitory, enabling them to be deeply rooted in the word of God
 Conducting Bible Quizzes
 Half-yearly Health Screening & Public Holiday Outreach
We are in the process of grooming second level leaders within themselves and motivated them to be more focused for reaching out new souls as they are in the near vicinity. As a starting point, some brothers meet up on Wednesdays after work and join together for prayer, fellowship and mutual understanding. This would for sure spur up them to be part of Lord’s work. We believe in Team work and Cluster dynamics and started our Second Counseling Outreach at Soon Lee Dorm on 5th Oct, 2008 and Please uphold us in your prayers and if time permits, please visit us on Sunday evenings to have a first hand feel of Lord's work.
