LEGACY LIVE!

Oh please! It's not a t-shirt, neither do we want it to be a bumper-sticker kind of empty doxology. It's who you are!! It's what you leave behind as you live your life. It's a calling hanging over your head. It's your name tag as God's missionary on campus and beyond.

Yup, that's the only thing that doesn't change. Your status might, your financial success might, but your identity remains ~ MISSIONARY ON SITE. And right now, your site is your campus.

I laugh my head off (that's why I'm the headless one!) when Christian students in campus tell me they want to go on missions. How blind we have become ~ the missionfield we have been sent to, we do not want to acknowledge. Do you know how many failed missionaries we produce at our annual convocations in our campuses?

What do we do? We live our lives well. We touch other lives. We fight for others' rights. We go out of our way for them. We share with them Jesus' love and sacrifice for them. With every passing day, every week, every semester and every year, ... we leave behind legacies. "Live" in and through our lives.

Come on, this is your missionary news letter. Share your success and share your obstacles. We must challenge each other on. Remember, it is "Legacy Live!"

WORDilicious Investigators

Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes, Magnum P.I. They are a club of their own. Private investigators who never fail to surprise you with a twist to their investigations. These days in Malaysia, the numbers of private investigators are increasing. They investigate threats, investigate frauds, but mostly they investigate desperate wives' fears of their husbands having affairs. It's a thriving trade.

Happily we have started our own Wordilicious Investigators! Launched officially as an enterprise in 2006, this is our second year running. But we are old hands at this, many have done the same over the years under different names ~ and it is WORD-delicious! Hungry anyone?

B.U.R.P.
After meals, burps are in order. Many of my friends and you included often give a satisfied burp after a hearty meal. I hope to hear you burping after a WORDilicious one. That's what W.I. is about, men and women who 'eat' God's Word, letting it digest into their system, transforming into a loud B.U.R.P. Building Up Radical People! :)

WHO INVESTIGATES WHO?
Often, those who study their Bibles, "Wordilicious Investigators" think they are called to investigate the Word, dissect what it says and put it together again in a way that makes sense. I beg to differ! I believe we are called to allow the Word to INVESTIGATE us. It questions our living, our conscience, our mission, our values and our compassion. The Word investigates our lives and calls us to allow our lives to be answer to its questions.

EAT HIS BOOK
Hurry! Hurry! Your time in campus is running out. If not now, then when? When will you sign up to be a Wordilicious Investigator (W.I.)? Investigate the Word, or rather let it investigate you. Come together under the Word as WIs. Discover that Acts, Haggai, Zechariah, Revelations and the rest of the 66 books are waiting to investigate your life. Eat His book and live. You may look foolish going against the way society is going, but you will sure be a radical disciple.

What do you say? What is your story about B.U.R.P.; about Who Investigates Who; about Eat His Book? Chip in your say, tell us the cost, challenge our simple view or decry the Word as a boring, unalive book. Investigate and be investigated!

Feeling old in the new?

A Happy New Year to you!!!! How did you see the old year out and the new year in? There's just this excitement and anticipation surrounding the ushering in of a new year huh?

Some years, I find myself caught up in the general expectant atmosphere, other years, I find myself saying "same ol, same ol..."

Do we feel old in the new year? Been there, done that......What's different? New Year resolutions? What's that but just another glorified promise to ourselves to do something we haven't been able to do for the whole previous year? What makes us think we can accomplish it THIS year?

For some of us, ‘new’ simply means another semester starting. Anyone started thinking of all the work ahead already? Some have already started semester! And already wallowing in assignments. Is there really anything 'new' in a new year? Or is it just old tired minds and spirits in tired bodies entering a new page of the calendar? Is there hope that there is really something new for us?

Maybe there is hope for some of our problems. We see things clearing up in this year. Some instances of reconciliation? Graduation? Starting work? Starting a new course? Making new friends? Making a new start or new promises?

What if we don’t see how certain problems can be cleared up in this year? Painful and hurting relationships continuing just the same, having struggled to juggle things last year, this year (with the promise of more assignments) may be worse!!

How are you entering this new 2007? With hope, and something to look forward to? Or with a sense of resignation, that things are just gonna be the same, no hope for improvements.

Come, have your say about what entering a new year mean to you. Share with us how YOU are entering 2007. Or maybe you have some tips on how best to enter this new year. We’d like to hear them.
