Victory MDC Singapore Retreat

I went to Batam on 21 April 2011 - 23 April 2011 for MDC Church Retreat (Singapore)

Day 1: 21 April 2011

Went to the airport together with Reggie and Papi Andi using citilink 11.35 AM. unfortunately, i got message stating that our flight get delayed for 1 hour and 10 minutes since the plane from Padang isn't arrived yet.
then we make our way to PIK, to have our lunch at Seven to 7 Steak house.
after that, we headed back to airport to catch our flight.

my seat quite bad, cos we are seating in emergency seat, and the chair can't be leverage to the back. try to adapt with the chair and i manage to sleep for 1 hour ++.

Arriving at Batam, we are picked up my Ps. David S and head to MegaMal Batam, near batam center. Then we go to KTM and having our session started.


This retreat theme is Victory. Why victory? Because Jesus had died on the cross and He has given us Victory to walk with Him. Yeah, Victory in everything we do!!

The retreat are consist of 5 sessions that are being preached by Ps. Guan and Ps. Hadiarso.

First session, Ko Guan encourage us to Listen to the Voice of God. If we listen to it, miracle will happen. Remember the story of Peter who walks on the water? What are the 1st thing he hear? God talk to Him, come here. Then peter can walk.. Do you think peter can walk, if god say nothing? I don't think so. Why? Because by listening to His voice and Walks with Him, then miracle happens.

Second session talking about drawing near to God. God never move. Then why sometimes we can feel God so far away? It is us that moving. Not God. 3 way to closer to god
1. Clarified vision, to help us focus
2. Sanctified Passion, a pure heart moves
                 God's hands (2 Chron 16:9)
3.  Max potential
                The potential God puts in us is greater
                 than what we think (gen 1:26-27)

3rd session talking about personal experience with God (John 9:1)
We must have personal experience so we can worship Him whole heart... For example, Moses is being thrown away by his family, but he has personal experience with god, and he can admit his situation and he even become one of the most powerful people at that time. David, the youngest and smallest but God use him to defeat Goliath.

Season 4 is all about holy spirit. Some of us receive holy spirit baptism, and this is the most interesting session, as some of us have been waiting for this.

Session 5, talking bout are we in God Mind? The answer is Yes, we are. So don't you worry about everything. Even the bird in the sky, the flower in fields, god take care of it. So, don't you worry about it.

After all this session, on day two, we have a guest from Yayasan Baptis orphanage. We are playing with them, have fun together and eat together until 9.45 pm, and it time for them to back home.
