Ramchandra

Ramchandra, born on the 6th of March 1999 is from India and he needs help. He lives in a community with his parents and 3 brothers and 1 sister, where 70% of the population live below the poverty line. Much of the land in the area is unsuitable for farming and many of his people are unskilled. General health health is poor and water and food are scarce so many of the people suffer disease. Children in the community have little or no education since they cannot afford it.

But all this can change...

Through World Vision, we can make a difference in his life and the life of the community by sponsoring him. We can do this by making a commitment as a cell group to contribute AUD$49 a month to provide nutrition and health programs for children, education and much more. 

Be a part in being a blessing. And playing a part in changing a child's future for the better.

Matthew 25 verses 35 - 40:

35For I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you brought Me together with yourselves and welcomed and entertained and lodged Me,

    36I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me with help and ministering care, I was in prison and you came to see Me.

    37Then the just and upright will answer Him, Lord, when did we see You hungry and gave You food, or thirsty and gave You something to drink?

    38And when did we see You a stranger and welcomed and entertained You, or naked and clothed You?

    39And when did we see You sick or in prison and came to visit You?

    40And the King will reply to them, Truly I tell you, in so far as you did it for one of the least [in the estimation of men] of these My brethren, you did it for Me.

Come let us know if you want to be a blessing =) God bless the rest of your week!

In God's love and mine,

rach~

Exams, tests, mid-terms...

Hi everyone. How are you? How is everyone coping? Tests and assignments coming up? Don't worry, I have something for you guys. I read this and it's interesting. Haha, here it is.. (and no, it's not something lame that I came out k..)

Psalms 23 (the modern version)

The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not flunk

He keepeth me from lying down when I should be studying

He leadeth me beside "Easy Way" for a study break

He restores my faith in study guides

He leads me to better study habits

For my grades' sake

Yea, though I walk through the valley of bordeline grades

I will not have a nervous breakdown

For thou art with me

My prayers and my friends, they comfort me

Thou givest me the answer in moments of blankness

Thou anointest my head with understandging

My test papers runneth over with questions I recognise

Surely passing grades and flying colours shall follow me

All the days of my examinations

And I shall not have to dwell in this exam hall forever

Amen..!!

Alright, now, relax and take it easy ya. Have a blessed week.

Jim

Just as the title reads, this week's theme is rainbow! Just as each colour of the rainbow comes together to form a beautiful natural phenomenon that brightens up the sky after a day of gloom and rain, each and every single one of us come together as one to form Christ's beautiful bride, His church! (Remember what we learnt last week during cell?) So let us come this week dressed up as a colour of the rainbow and brighten up each others' lives after a long week of uni and studying! Also, throughout the week we can be rainbows to other people. Take this as an opportunity to put our cell vision into action, step out! =)
