The spring semester has finally ended! It was a gruelling semester but Robyn and I learnt many things about ourselves and theology. We really miss our families and friends back home. Some of the students here will be travelling to various parts of the world to discern their gifting as

CERC’s second apprentice, Daniel Lu, recently completed his Ministry Training Strategy (MTS) assessment after undergoing a four-year apprenticeship stint. Daniel’s training took a longer duration than the programme requires, but he has no regrets about it.
Having completed his apprenticeship, Daniel has greater clarity about what ministry he is suitable for and he is now focusing on training to be in some of the various pastoral ministries in CERC.
Here, we speak to Daniel, who reflects on the key lesson he has learned during his time in ministry. He emphasises that the servanthood attitude does not only apply to those in full-time paid ministry but also to Christians working in secular jobs. His rationale was simple — Jesus deserves it.
Now, Daniel is pursuing his Bachelor of Theology under Ridley College’s online programme. He plans to continue his education in Melbourne after the second year of his degree.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it has been a pleasure to share fellowship with you on two occasions now. I am thankful to God for the growth in your numbers and the maturity of so many. On this anniversary occasion, let me remind you that in the book of Acts we are told that the gospel flourishes through suffering, conflict and opposition (6:7; 9:31; 12:24; 19:20). At a personal level, the apostle Paul encourages new believers to continue in the faith, saying that ’through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God’ (Acts 6:21). So we must be realistic about the difficulties, but confident in God and the gospel to fulfill his great purpose in bringing into his kingdom ‘a great multitude that no one could number’ (Rev 7:9), including many from Malaysia! May God continue to bless you with faithfulness and perseverance.
