**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
Just then a woman who had hemorrhaged for twelve years slipped in from behind and lightly touched his robe. She was thinking to herself, “If I can just put a finger on his robe, I’ll get well.” Jesus turned—caught her at it. Then he reassured her: “Courage, daughter. You took a risk of faith, and now you’re well.” The woman was well from then on.
Matthew 9: 20-23 (The Message)
The previous many chapters tells us how great, powerful and mighty Jesus is and what kind of total authority Jesus has. This passage challenge us what do we have to do in order Jesus' power can happen in our lives.
It's a comparison of how much faith that the woman and the ruler had and how little faith those people in the ruler's house had.
What kind of people do you think you belongs to?
In four hours time, Archbishop Yong and I will be officiating the ground breaking of the building project "Vintage Garden" of Toronto Emmanuel Church. It is a huge building project consists of a community center, a church and around 400 units of senior condos of a cost of 150 millions Canadian dollars. If not for so many times of risk of faith of just a few faith disciples of Jesus in the past ten years, we can not have today's ground breaking! After all, a risk of faith is so difficult but so essential!
Do you have the courage to have a risk of faith in God's time?
Let's 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"

What I heard from Jesus today is: A risk of faith! A leap of faith!
What I got today from Jesus is the importance of our courage to take a risk of faith and a leap of faith in order for us to experience how real Jesus is and how powerful Jesus can be!
There is no more I can say when I think of in four hours time I am going to witness the ground breaking ceremony of Vintage Garden in Toronto. The pictures in this blog were taken this Monday when Archbishop Yong, Julia and us visited the sales centre of the Vintage Garden. You will see some pictures tomorrow in this blog as we give thanks to God for how He leads us in this project so far on this Thanksgiving Sunday!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to have courage for a risk of faith so that we can experience your total authority and your power. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
