Medical work in missions
Literacy & Bible translation
Role of support ministries
Cross-cultural church planting
Training & equipping
Empowered by prayer
From New Tribes Mission:
We are planning our second youth/young adult camp for 1-4 of June. Our past one went fantastic and we are looking forward to this one being even better. We hope you or young people you know will be able to attend this exciting and challenging camp. The camp will have two tracks running simultaneously. One will be catered for youth, ages approximately 13-16 and the second for young adults aged approximately 17-26.
Brad Buser and Darryl Palmer, missionaries with New Tribes Mission will be our featured speakers again. Missionaries from other organizations will be assisting with various modules and the camp programme. Brad, along with his wife Beth, and their four children, served with New Tribes Mission in Papua New Guinea reaching the Iteri people (1979-1999). They are now living in San Diego, California where Brad serves as mission pastor in his home church. Brad also teaches “Cross-Cultural Church Planting” modules at The Master College, at Eternity Bible College, the book of Acts at Ecola Bible Institute, Perspective courses all over the US, as well as serving as an National Representative for New Tribes Mission.
Brad has been involved in conducting 3 youth camps in Germany, speaks at youth conferences every year in Mexico, and takes numerous speaking opportunities at Christian colleges in the US: Biola University, Heritage College, Westmont University, Azusa Pacific University, Liberty University, Ecola Bible College, Masters College and others. Obviously, Brad communicates and relates well with youth.
Darryl Palmer was on staff at New Tribes Mission’s mission training centre in Camdenton, Missouri for about 5 years, teaching phonetics, culture and language acquisition before he and his wife went to Indonesia to serve in reaching the Taliabo People. Darryl and Kyla are featured missionaries in the award-winning videos, “The Taliabo Story” and “Delivered From The Power Of Darkness.”
Any young people attending this camp will leave with a new perspective on missions and with a challenge to be a part of what God is doing to complete the Great Commission in their lifetime.
We will be needing help so, please let us know if you would like to assist us with some or our continued planning for this camp and or assisting with the operations of the camp. Please pass this on to youth, young adult and mission leaders in your church or organization. If you would like more information regarding the camp, return an email or give us a call.

Book Review: Tortured For Christ, by Richard Wurmbrand
By Beth Tang
We Christians in Singapore take our religious freedom for granted and try to ‘sugarcoat’ Christianity with egos of thanking God that we are safe from troubles and objections in our minds, not knowing what lies beyond the comfort we have received from Our Creator.
Richard Wrumbrand (1909-2001) was imprisoned in Romania grip of communism, just because he stood up for Christ during one of the communist relays with a Bible in his hand.
It began with his wife Sabrina telling him to ‘wipe the shame from the face of Christ’ which led his family to unspeakable torture like freezing in a box with little clothing (so much that he became fearful of opening his own fridge!), and being poked by sharp objects. Despite the brainwashing, assaults and having been denied from ever seeing God’s creation that is nature, he still trusted God and learnt more about Him each day. He never doubted God for what he was going through. He not only mentions his ordeal but also talks about other Christians who suffered in persecuted countries like Iran, China and North Korea. This book is the a glimpse of what it is like living as a Christian in a persecuted country.
It is also a great insight on missions, for example Richard made his son Mihai and the other children roam around streets distributing ‘illegal’ bibles and Gospels. In turn the soldiers treated them nicely and gave them sweets or chocolate (Richard mention Russians have a soft spot on children).
It’s a good wake up call for Christians in free countries and those who wanted to go to the mission field. It will make you read this again and again. It’s a good book to see what a persecuted church is like.
‘Will you hear our message? Remember us. Help us. Don’t abandon us.’
-- Richard Wrumbrand ‘s message to the Christians in free world
“You're blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God's kingdom.” -- Matthew 5:10 (The Message)

Desert Song (This is our God) by HIllsong
A touching account of a worship leader in her struggles...
What is our Purpose?
Here's a summary of what we learnt in youth cell 1st Aug 09 kindly done by gracia :)
Overview: What is our purpose of existence, and what is God's desire for us?
Passage: Ecclesiastes 1 - 5
Everything is meaningless, if we don't have God in our life.
So where does God fit in our life? Why did God create us? Ultimately, the most important question of the day: what is the purpose of our existence?
During our discussion, we shared what our plans for the future were (some mentioned getting married, having children, becoming successful, earning big bucks.)
So what happens after we've fulfilled our dreams?
We die and go to heaven. What do we do in heaven? Praise and worship God.
So what can we say our purpose here on earth is?
Would we spend our entire lifespan doing something that is not what we're gonna do for eternity? In other words, while here on earth, do we perform that which we're not made to do for eternity? (Duh no!)
We considered Revelation 5, and realized that we'll spend eternity worshipping God. This must mean that we're created to worship God! That is the sole purpose of our existence.
How then do we fulfill our purpose here on earth? How do we worship Him here on earth? We worship Him through the various things that He has tasked us to do!
We considered how in Genesis, God gave work to Man. We thus realized that worship can take place all the time...! In every single moment! And that is our purpose. Worship.

Passage: Ecclesiastes 1 - 5
Ecc 1:2
"Meaningless! Meaningless!"
says the Teacher.
"Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless."
Everything is meaningless, if we don't have God in our life.

Reversed Thunder: Prayer
The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer
1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel's hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
Revelation 8:1-5
Can you imagine, about half an hour in heaven? One day in the house of the Lord is like a thousand years (2 Pet 3:8). So there was half an hour of silence in heaven... Whatever for?
Isn't it simply amazing?? That silence was for the Lord to hear all the prayers of the saints -- the prayer you made in your bedroom last night, and the prayer I made in my time of sadness yesterday, and all the world's prayers, from the beginning of time to eternity... All those prayers were taken up to Him... and what's the more astounding thing...
Our prayers are burnt through the fire from the altar, and hurled back down on to the earth as like thunder & lightning. Our prayers are reversed thunder. Our prayers shake the earth.
Because the Lord has heard our prayers; because He has answered them.

a bunch of verses.. to tell us about Evangelism..
Why Evangelize? We are called to evangelize.
Ezekiel 3:18 - 21
When I say to a wicked man, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself.
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
Matthew5:13
"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
-Salvation depends on evangelism too..
How do we evangelize?
Matthew 5:14-16
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
- all this is to glorify God.
God will stand by us, every step of the way..
Acts 23:11
The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, "Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome."
2 Timothy 4:17
But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion's mouth.
Ezekiel 3:8-9
But I will make you as unyielding and hardened as they are. I will make your forehead like the hardest stone, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house."
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- Romans 6:23
Ezekiel 3:18 - 21
When I say to a wicked man, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself.
"Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he will surely live because he took warning, and you will have saved yourself."
Mark 16:15-16He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
Matthew5:13
"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
