Kaifu's CD is finally out.=) Let me share more about the purpose of the CD and how our gracious God had carried all of us thru. Since last year August, Kai fu approached a few of us to join this ministry.Through much prayer, we formed a team of 3ladies and 2 men namely: Kaifu, Derong,Li Yi,Jiayi and myself. The starting of this whole CD producting was not at all easy. For one reason, it was because all of us had no real experience in Cd recording despite being musicians in church for some time. Anyway, we gathered and started our first meeting during the time of music space.As some would know,the process of making a cd has many many stages..plus all the admin stuff. As many in the church would have known, Kaifu has been composing many many nice Praise and Worship songs for the past 10 yrs and his songs have got the ren tong of fellow bros n sis in the church.The vision in mind when he approached us was to actually collate all these songs into a CD as a start. To bring these songs to chinese churches in singapore, so as to enable them to have another choice of worship songs to use in their churches. This minstry is non-profitable, is based on commitment to serve in this new ministry despite their full time jobs and commitments,and of people who paid the full cost of the cd production with their own money,hoping to fulfill the vision of our ministry. This CD is not under church directly because of those tedious admin matters. However, it is with full support of the church and pastors of the church. People might be asking how come only Kaifu's songs?? This is because since we have no experience in cd making and since cd making is tedious,like arrangments of the songs etc..therefore it is easier to start with one person's compositions so as to make things easier as a start in terms of executing the plans.As of next time, if God continues to open doors for us, we will be able to record other new compositions as well.
As this is the start of the ministry, the CD may not be perfect and may not reach certain people's expectations, however, it is our prayer that God can use us in this cd to bring blessing to churches in Singapore. We really do need support in action and prayer in this new ministry. This coming sunday will be the official launching of the CD. The cost of the CD is priced at a reasonable rate of $15.Really hope that you all can support this ministy.I currentl have CDs with me,so whoever wans a copy can info me.Although there will be a booth tis sunday, but u can get the CDs earlier from me. Thinking of a gift for non-believers and friends??this Cd will be a gd idea haha..=) In this cd, all our team members sang.Including jia ka yee haha...=)
LEt me share some experiences that every single of our team member went thru and how GOd sustained us. Last year, everybody knew i broke my leg la..haaa..and couldnt start prac n recording until much later..but the team still supported me in prayer n with many concerns..during that low period,everytime i was down..someone in the team will amazingly, thru their words or actions encourage me. I came to a point that i can only be so grateful and thankful and was praising GOd even in the mist of suffering.He had blessed me with so nice bros n sis..wad more can i ask for??how ungrateful n complainisome can i continue to be??my heart was changed and...i thanked God!
Next Jiayi kept falling sick due to the heavy workload in her sch.Kaifu and family also kept falling sick due to flu viruses and stuff..
And then Li Yi underwent an operation in the mist of recording. The day before her op we had recording.We were recording 主我爱你. When she was recording..n we were listening..i was super super touched ...touched by the fact that despite the op the next day, she could still have joy in her and still willing to come down for recording..she even brought us nice nice cakes.I see so much unity in the body of Christ.Such a wonderful beautiful pic..i was down that day..but when i saw that kind of heart to serve...i thanked the Lord..and i am super super greatly touched and encouraged by her.
Not long after...during JTTW musical...Derong's dad suddenly passed away. It was a heavy blow..to him especially. However, as Christians, despite the uncertainty of future, we have hope, a hope that is enternal and won't perish...that is we will all be with Jesus one fine day and so will he see his dad. In the mist of all these pain, he still committed and came down for recordings. It's really another learning point and encouragement to me.
Even after the recordings have completed,there were so many obstacles to this production...however thru prayer , God's mercy and grace was sufficient in our weaknesses and short-comings.We pulled thru....and until today, the CD is out.It cannot be taken for granted even to the printing and packaging of the cd to be perfectly without fault coz we cant assume that everything always comes out the way we want. Even till the perfect printing this time, it is really by God's grace. It's really amazing how everything happened.All Glory and Honour and Praises be to our Almighty,everlasting,sovereign God.
It's amazing how the extraordinary God can use ordinary people like us. hope that bros n sis and support us in this new ministry. thank you very very much for reading =)
