Fellowship of Believers

To those who are beginning a new school year, to the teachers, to the student, the disciple, to the worship leader, to the shepherds, to the designers, the youth staffers, the administrators, the young, the weak, the leaders, the missionary, the family who yearns and draws near to the Fathers heart, continue to share and work together for the sake of the Kingdom. We are not only a catalyst but a Fellowship of Believers.

The main purpose of the Southeast Asian Catalyst is to band together in prayer, intercession, prayer, and support of one another's ministries, servanthood, and how we work the harvest together. As SEAC we mobilize, empower, and equip as best we can for the sake of kingdom cause.

In Paul's words in Galatians 6:1-10
Doing Good to All

Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load. 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers



And in least of these for those who love The Lord of the Rings, we learn from J.R. Tolkien's writing and the movies that we make decisions to DO rather than ignore the circumstances or even the war we fight daily. We decide and we support one another in the tasks that are at hand. If we cannot carry the task itself, we can carry each other. The series begins with Frodo feeling alone with such a heavy burden to take the ring to the fires of Mordor. Yet, he looses site that he has 8 who have committed to the task a fellowship of brothers and believers, forming the Fellowship of the Ring. In this dialogue we see Frodo's fears and low spirit.

Frodo: "I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened."
Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times, But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in the world Frodo; besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.



Along the way you see how the Fellowship of the Ring fights together, escapes together, vouch for each other and even split apart in different directions, almost destroyed. With assistance from allies, friends, and those who believe in the same justice they restore the land for the age of Man. Even more specifically at the end of the series you see how Sam had asked so many times for Frodo to let him carry the burden for him (the ring). Finally at the foot of the Mount Doom, Frodo's burden was so overwhelming that he could not walk anymore. Sam takes him upon his shoulder and says, "If I cannot carry the ring, Mr. Frodo, but I can carry you." Sam with all the strength that he has left carried Frodo up the steep hot, dangerous slope to the fiery door of fire on Mount Doom.

May you continually be empowered and inspired by these words. Furthermore, here is something tangible that is consistent encouragement.  The Jubilee Project Doing Good is Contagious campaigns. Today Jubilee Project has inspired and empowered thousands of people through advocating the message that our daily actions to spread the love of Christ is contagious, that it does matter. Even in the simple forms of post-it notes, snail mail, kind acts, and authenticity.  The message of love we share does influence others. You will see the pain and suffering, but like prayer, we are not at a stalemate but in action and deeds we faithfully go to the Father. We do this together as a community, as a family of believers.

Inside Out

He is working in us on a daily basis, even when we are not in tip top shape.  This was Paul's hope, prayer, and encouragement to the leaders, forerunners, and churches:   Therefore do not loose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, though inwardly we are being renewed day by day.  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. -2 Corinthians 4:16-17 (NIV) He continually works from the inside out. May our mind be set towards kingdom thinking; may this be our prayer this week. Let our prayers humble us as we continue to serve our churches, communities, work place, friends, family, PEOPLE that dwell with us.  He truly gives when we are opened to receiving.

Speaking the Same Language

Where is your mother tongue from?  Where is your identity from?  In all the mix of things, we all ended up here in America.  We share the commonality of speaking American English and being part of the this generations mass media obsession.  We have a certain type of slang that we can all understand.  Kind of shifts the idea of how the Tower of Babel went down doesn't it?   But somehow.... Many days of the year, we still feel out of place in our leadership styles, communication styles, and values system in our ministry, mission, and career industry. I mean who doesn't have a hard day or a bad day, tough bosses, complaints and disagreements. We often feel unheard, unsatisfied, helpless, stuck, unprepared, under appreciated, conscious, and insecure.  All these words make us understand the commonly of disconnect, a gap, and discomfort.  May in the next week or so we approach the throne of grace, to be reunited with the Father, and ask our F...
