G3 Website

Hello everyone!

Just to write abit about G3.

I am thinking most of us would have heard about G3 through some form or the other. But I'll just give brief information about G3, so we can all think about it and hopefully decide to join G3.

G3 is the new mission programme of FES, and it's a missions training program where we all learn more about mission(s), the biblical basis of it, the changing face of world mission today.It is split into two phases.

Phase 1 is starting in about 2 weeks.

Topics covered in Phase 1:
The Story of His Glory
Role of Israel
Jesus and the Kingdom
Church History and Missions
IFG Workshopin the form of lectures, bible studies and workshops.

:)G3 is for everyone, regardless of where we stand in the journey of missions. I do believe it will be an exciting time of learning about the things that matter most in life: God, the walk with Him, and the people around us.

There is a new G3 website where there's all the information about the G3 program.http://gcubeprogram.multiply.com/Please do access it to find out more

2) Centre for the Study of Christianity in Asia presents: the CSCA Annual Lecture Series 2007
Church and Mission in the New Asia: New Gods, New Identities
Many parts of Asia are being rapidly transformed by new technologies, unequal wealth creation and the emergence of religious radicalism. Individual lives and whole societies are being re-configured around new gods and identities. What does following Jesus as Lord mean in such changing contexts? If Christian witness is to be truly Christian, and not a bearer of false gods, our pragmatism and activism need to be shaped by prophetic discernment and godly wisdom

Talk 2: The Postmodern: Shopping for Identities
Talk 3: The Posthuman: Technology as Salvation

International Students' Cafe

Do you have international friends?

Have you been wanting to do something for them?

Or do you want to have international friends?

IFG is starting a weekly international students' cafe starting next tue (21/08)!

What is it?

The cafe will be a place where international students can come every week, and have snacks and drinks while interacting with us. There'll be some games there as well if they want to play. We hope to be a support group for them, talking to them and helping them where needed. And also, to see this as an opportunity to spread God's love and a chance for them to come to know Christ.

So...Every tuesday (starting 21/08)4pm (that's before sunset prayer or FT so if you're staying back anyway, why not join us?)PGP Blk 10 Music Room Come on down, be prepared to talk and open to share! Invite and bring international friends that you know, from your hall or lectures. And also, keep the cafe, the CFers and international students that will be coming down in prayer!It's missions at our doorstep:)

May the kingdom of God come and His glory seen!

In Him, IFG
