**NEW link for the 11th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign(from August 25 to December 03, 2012).

The easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week. What you need to do is very simple. Choose one dayThe easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week to pray for me, my family and my ministry, remembering the ministry of ACiC(ACiC has two Networks: ACiC, Anglican Coalition in Canada and AI, Asian Initiative). You may use the whole hour in prayer or you can still do you work in your office but use as much time as you can to pray and the other time work prayerfully that hour to pray for our ministry. This campaign is also to teach you that you need somebody to pray for you daily. I have been prayed for hourly the past 1,100 days and I have never experienced this kind of peace and protection before. It's just beyond words can express. If I did not listen and obey to Jesus call 1,100 days ago to start this prayer movement, I think I would be pulled into darkness and discouragement already! I deeply believe that this is a way to draw as many participation as we can in prayers. I encourage you to participate. We need you to join us! Trust in the power of prayers!

Bible Study

This passage gives us Jesus' invitation to Peter to wipe off how he did wrong of the three denials and to set a renewal path for him to follow Jesus and His way.

N.T. Wright says:
The three questions correspond to Peter's three denials. Three for completeness, yes, but also for reminder. The smell of the charcoal fire lingers. Peter's night of agony and Jesus' own night of agony returns.

Jesus gave Peter a well planned welcoming back party. With the charcoal fire breakfast we read yesterday and with today's three questions. When the three
"NO" turns to three "YES", everything change!

How many "NO" have you said to Jesus? How are you going to say YES to Jesus today?

Have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage of scripture we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"



Spiritual Journal

What I heard from Jesus today is: Come back to me!

Today Jesus gives us a simple but very intimate call: come back to me!

Yes, there are lots of time we insist on going our own path just as how Jesus reminded Peter of the charcoal fire experience, his three "NO" and his self-centered will and path. My way!

Now Jesus gave Peter a chance to change from "my way" to "MY WAY", Jesus' way, Jesus' path, Jesus' Cross! Jesus way, His path and His Cross is for you to give your everything like Him to feed and care for His little lamb and sheep. All age care! Are you willing to accept this invitation now to have a complete renewal in Christ?

Jesus says, "Come back to me!"

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be willing to return to you following you each day abiding in your way and your will. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
