Arrow Blog

July was a month of lurve in Arrow Students. Pastor Benjamin shared with us about relationships, what true love is, and dating tips! I love how Pastor reminded us (or revealed to us who never realized) that we are all created for love and that to desire love is NORMAL. The only love that truly satisfies is our Father’s love. And as we experience the love of God and become full to overflowing, then we can love others and the relationship we desire with another human being will be exceedingly abundantly above all we can hope for or imagine!

“Without Christ: the relationship from hell” (ok I’m kidding about the title). This was a skit performed by the I.M. theatre team. They illustrated searching for love in every possible place and finally searching for love in a relationship. Here you see them fighting over the love when one had decided their relationship didn’t satisfy. On another note, I like their outfits!

Here’s Shawn from JC South who had just come from his army camp! Love the way he up-ed his cool factor with shades. Another simple accessory boys could do with is a brown belt haha!

Gorgeous Weiyi from NTU dressed in a pretty ethnic print dress with embroidery. A simple black bolero is good to keep warm and not take away the attention from her gorgeous dress.

Cool, collected Jonathan from the poly cluster layers his black and whites. It’s young and funky! Sleeves that are too long for guys (covering half the hands) can be rather sloppy, so I like how he rolled it slightly above the wrist, quite unconventional but it works.

These are just some of the good looking people in our ministry who are deeply and passionately in LOVE with our beloved Jesus!Well that’s all I have for now. See you at structured activity this week!

In Love

Hi there beloveds!

Last Saturday was the Arrow YSWA Career Seminar, and we had a RIGHTEOUS time yeah! We had Mr. Koh Ching Hong as our guest speaker and our beloved leaders Pastor Benjamin, Deacon Jeff, and Deacon Jeff to share with us nuggets of wisdom. It was truly an uplifting time for us as we were continually affirmed that Jesus is our Success!

Here are some of the glorious people at this event, evidently dressed for success?

Sam the Uber cool dude is decked out in Blue printed shirt matched with baggy black berms, nicely done bro, and to add a casual touch, you can never go wrong with a pair of white sneakers.

Here we see James dressed in Skinny jeans and a plain grey buttoned tee, very Brit feel especially with that fedora. Rock On!

Anne wears a white spaghetti top with Technicolor prints! Prints are nicely done to give a candy sweet feel, matched with faded black jeans for ruggedness. Showing that she can be sweet but she ain’t fragile!

It was a really BLESSED event, can’t wait for the next one.

Sorry folks, I wasn’t able to capture any nice fashion photos this week. So I thought I’d share with you something I received from Pastor Benjamin’s message at the last Arrow.

Pastor Benjamin talked about Luke 15:25-31 (OBS) towards the end of his sermon. Being the older sibling, I could really relate to the older brother. His bitterness towards his family, his comparing… Man! Whenever I read this part, I can perfectly imagine the entire scene (Like Pastor Prince says, read the bible with imagination - it’s a whole lot of fun!). Read the rest of this entry »

So we (Arrow students) just came back from “Hitting the Mark” Camp 2008, and boy did we have an awesome time!It was such a glorious time with a lot of solid, rich food (spiritual of course!), fantastic fellowship, and the loving powerful presence of Daddy God. Read the rest of this entry »

Hi Beloveds! Here are some of the good lookers from our last Arrow meeting! As the Arrow YSWA wing comprises of young sophisticated working professionals, you can expect a more “smart casual” style fit for the office, but still fun enough to hangout in. Here we don’t “Dress to impress”, instead we let God’s glory take over and “Rest to impress”!

One might think that checked shirts are for the older generation. But here, Aaron shows that checked shirts are indeed still IN! Matched with grey chinos and leather shoes, his style exudes a relaxed mood. Chillin in the Grace of God yea…..

Staying cool in blue, that’s da way to go in the sweltering heat these days! Here Diana matches her blue Denim skirt with a blue frilled top. She wears it really well matching the different tones of blue and also reflective accessories just to give that water effect and that extra sparkle to catch ones eye.

Its exciting to see people changed from glory to glory in His presence! Our looks and fashion sense are set apart from the world( in a good way..haha). Till next Arrow service, stay Glorious beloveds!

In His Love

Hi guys! I’m so excited as we start showcasing just a few of the gorgeous people and the style at Arrow! We hope you’ll enjoy this and get funky ideas to do stuff with what you have.

At last Arrow, the theme was Beach holidays. People celebrated because it was one of the easiest themes thus far. Most came in tee-shirts, berms and flip-flops. There were the famous Baywatch colours – red and yellow – on our I.M. team who were refereeing the soccer match, our MC, john p, decked out in his wetsuit, and a lot more tee-shirts, berms and flip-flops.

Fresh colours and strips…

This season loves bold, flowery prints, but sometimes it makes us young girls look too matured. I love Angela’s style and printed skirt, fashionable, fresh and young.

Kudos to the IM team for providing the girls with awesome flower hair pins!

I never thought of wearing all black for a day at the beach (of course we were indoors) but it offsets his yellow slippers quite nicely and the pink heart as well. The straw hat rocks!! (borrowed prop though!)

You might be surprised to find out there’s someone going around taking photos in Arrow! But don’t worry, don’t become self-conscious and don’t feel stressed about dressing up. Whenever I leave my house and I’m unsure whether my outfit for the day is pretty, I just remind myself that God is my glory. It’s amazing that it’s on these days when people tell me I look good!

May our glory not just come from that gorgeous top we’re wearing, our make-up being flawless, or our shoes matching our outfit perfectly. May our glory come from the beauty of Christ Jesus radiating out of us!

Well, next up for us Arrow Students is CAMP!!! Woohoooo!! See y’all there tomorrow!

With love,
Charis Yue

Hey Beloveds!!  Wasn’t The Zone ‘08 just awesome?!  Here’s what Charis Yue, one of our Arrow leaders had to say…

“In the morning of the Zone, i felt this uncomfortable huge lump at the back of my throat. It hurt badly everytime i swallowed and somewhere during the praise and worship, i tasted abit of blood. There was a long musical pause in the music when suddenly Joel Houston started reading from Isaiah 53 ending with “By His stripes we are healed”. The song they sang next was Healer and I knew in my heart that Daddy God knew my pain and wanted to heal me. The healing anointing was strong in the place and after the concert, the lump was completely gone! Another girl in my caregroup was healed of back pains too during the song.

The presence of God was magnificent that night, healing not just physical pains and sicknesses but healing broken hearts and lives.  There was such a tangible touch of freedom and love. Youths came to know a Jesus different from their perceptions. Two girls I talked to realised that it wasn’t about whether they did their quiet time or loved God enough, but that God’s love for them that mattered. Chains were broken, lives were healed, eyes were opened and Christ was revealed…”
