Angels Come In The Faces of Man Częstochowa Sept 2007

Angels come to us when we least expect it. I spent 3 months in Poland, on a day trip on my own to CzÄ™stochowa, this stranger went out of his way to help me. If Angels exist, I am sure he could have been one! In 2007, whilst queuing to alight from the train at Czestochowa, I wasn't quite sure that I was at the right stop as the train announcements were all in Polish. Standing behind me was this elderly gentleman, lo and behold he spoke perfect English when I checked if I was at right station.  Long story short, this kind man went out of his way to send me in a taxi to the church Jasna Gora to visit and make my pilgrimage to see the Black Madonna of CzÄ™stochowa. I never got his name or his number, but this Angel of mine not only diverted from his original destination to the church, he alighted with me carrying his heavy luggage up the hill to the church, checked the mass schedule for me and placed me in the right hall w...

An encounter with Mother Mary, 25 April 2008 @ Knock, Ireland

25 April 2008, My friend and I, drove to Knock, Ireland to a catholic pilgrimage site to visit and absorb the presence of Christ. In 1879, there was an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary , Saint Joseph , Saint John the Evangelist , angels , and Jesus Christ (the Lamb of God ) at the gable of a small church. About 25 people witnessed this for 2 hours in the rain. The church placed a part of the gable wall where the apparition of Mother Mary, St Joseph, St John, Angels and the Lamb of God appeared outside the church door so people can say their prayers. When I prayed I felt a deep sense of sadness that mankind continues to be so far from God and doing all kinds of unthinkable things despite Mother Mary coming to us again and again to ask us to repent and turn towards her Son, Jesus. I said a prayer that thanked Mother Mary, I felt a flood of gratefulness towards Our Mother for never giving up on us regardless how evil and unrepentant we all can be. As I place...
My Testimony - the day i asked God to show himself and he did! I am writing this testimony, to share my experience with friends, who might be thinking and feeling that God is not listeningto them. I assure you, I am a small unworthy person...if God listens to me....I am pretty sure that he would be listening to you too. The testimony I have written below may be a little too detailed for you. It’s a page from my diary and I wanted to remember every insignificant detail that I saw or experienced that day. When God spoke to me... Second day at ICPE (International Catholic Programme For Evangelization)- Germany. It all began on 11th Sept 2001, after the morning lessons, we had lunch and after lunch I took a walk on my own. It was a nice day, I decided to make my way to the chapel(Allerheiligen Kapelle) that was a little way up on the hill. I remember I had wanted to know what the pictures of Mary and Jesus were made of. It didn't look like a painting when I saw it the day b...
Lyn’s Eagle Testimony Let me share with you the faith experience of a close friend on mine. My friend and I, went to Rawa for a couple of days, a few months back just before the LISS. On the third day, She spoke to God (I didn’t know about it then) that she was not feeling up to facilitating a group in our P@W LISS. She asked God for a sign, if he truly wanted her to do it. A sign she cannot dispute. A sign from HIM just for Her.... That evening we were sitting on the balcony of our chalet...you wouldn’t believe the Clouds in the sky formed an enormous eagle… a perfect outline… an eagle in motion. She said to me "LOOK! What do you see?"...I said " WOW! An Eagle!” Eagles have always had a special meaning for her ... (Eagles always fly alone and if we want to be in flight with God, sometimes we may have to fly high and alone and not follow the pack) Imagine! We ran to the beach stood there speechless and awe-stricken…I have attached a picture of it for you to see. But it ...
A SYMPHONY OF RAINBOWS by Grace Genevieve Low (Singapore, Dec 2004) “Jesus is still looking for those who are willing to have a testimony created through their lives. One of the major characteristics of a God-ordained testimony is for something to happen that cannot be explained in the natural. In other words, if you can make it happen through your abilities, it is not a testimony about God, but about you”. For the longest time, I have been dragging my feet to write about my mountain trip in August 2003. This was an experience I still recall with shining eyes when I think about it. Even to this day, it continues to cradle my soul – that I thought no amount of written words could fully convey or describe this unfathomable marvel of God. I would have been contented that it remains this way if not for my friends in Christ, who urged me repeatedly to put it all down in writing. So here it is today, my testimony to all of you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had a rude shock when I arrived for...

My Birthday Gift

Enjoying my birthday 5 Nov 2004 on his hammock in Fiji Since we arrived, it has been cloudy every day  Lying on the hammock, all alone reading for a few hours, I looked at my phone, no messages. No signal on the island. I thought to myself, this will be the quietest birthday, I have every had. No texts, no E-cards, no GIF birthday wishes.. I looked at the same dreary grey horizon since I arrived in Fiji and thought, God! None of my friends will be able to wish me and celebrate my birthday with me. Do you think you can give me a lovely sunset as a birthday present? I was awed in a few hours whilst still on the hammock, bright rays of Gold pierced through the clouds! My heart lept with joy, my spirit knew I was receiving a gift from my Father in heaven. It was BEAUTIFUL! It was a very sweet time, as I spent the hour receiving the Gift from the Giver. The peace, the joy, I was drunk with His love. I was his chi...

"You Can Run and You Can Hide, But I Will Always Find You" - 2002 -2004

This encounter with Jesus happened to me 14 years ago, but in my mind it was like it happened just yesterday. When I was a young Christian, my search for Christ in my life brought me to LISS conducted at FMM house in 2002 conducted by Praise@Work. There was a bookshop on the premises and my friend, Lynette and I bought a Tao cross (photo above). I promptly put it into the front pocket of my jeans. When I was leaving FMM house, I discovered that I had lost the Tao cross. One and a half years later, I attended another LISS in 2004, conducted also by Praise@Work. We had a session on washing the feet, after which we sat on the floor and did our own reflections. When i closed my eyes, suddenly I imagined Jesus was at my feet attempting to 'wash' it. I quickly said No! to my over active imagination. Our classroom was on the 2nd floor. I felt stressed and snuck downstairs to the back of the building so no one could find me. I found a chair next to a table that had ...

God hears us even when we ask for nonsensical things!

I remember in 2000, I was asked to join the Robinson's group bowling competition. My bowling skills were at best average with scores hovering between 90s to120s. On the day at the event when we started practicing a few minutes before the competition, I was suddenly completely out of form. To my aghast, I was throwing gutter balls! I was so embarrassed that I would pull our whole team down and lose miserably because of my poor game. When I was in toilet before the game started, I prayed and almost begged Jesus, not to let me make a fool of myself and to help me play well. Pictures above tells a thousand words. Believe it or not, I played like a professional. A miracle! I Scored 270 - 280 points, striking and sparing at almost every turn! I won the ladies Champion Trophy that night. Needless to say, however much I was persuaded by my team mates, I never did dare to join the team again the following year :) Moral of the story, God hears us when we speak to him from de...
