**NEW link for the 9th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign (from Oct. 30, 2011 to February 5, 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 then prayerfully 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. 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!
Today's Reading: Psalm 103
Please read Psalm 103 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below. If you would like to learn a simple and good way of Daily Devotion method please read my “Count Down 5” from this blog. You may click this link directly for the method: Subject Shifting Devotion.pdf. (You may begin with a song to praise the Lord and complete you devotion by singing another praise song.)

Please click the links below to Psalm 103:
Praise the Lord, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Psalm 103: 1
What I received from Jesus today is: How are your inmost being doing?
The question I received from Jesus to ask you today is not a usual greeting: How are you doing? But "How are your inmost being doing?" Actually it is the same, do you know that?
Yesterday our Network Leader, Rev. Peter Klenner, called me to confirm our NLT meeting today at 1p.m.. He asked me three time: How are doing? He never did that before. Do you know why? He wanted to know how his bishop's inmost being are doing in this important transition of AMiAs. My answer to him was that I was very tired in the midst of all the happenings. I went to sleep before 10p.m. and woke up at 6a.m. to do my two blogs and two podcasts now. It is such a relief to see the detailed announcement from AMiAs website (please click the link at the top of this post) and that we are having our three founding Primates, Archbishop Emmanuel Kolini, Archbishop Moses Tay and Archbishop Yong Ping Chung to step forward to be our spiritual oversight in this transitional period. History repeats! When Archbishop Mose Tay retired, the Anglican province of South East Asia pulled back and we were under the Anglican province of Rwanda. A few months ago Archbishop Emmanuel Kolini retired and same things happened! This is not anyone's fault but it is time for us in our Exodus journey to start another new page, just as that ten years ago with the pulling away of the Anglican province of South East Asia!
But, what is important is what are those things disturbing us that our inmost being are confused and can not see a clear picture of what the Lord wants to give us. That we can not count His blessings of how He has been blessing AMiAs for the past ten years. Of how we bear witness for Christ by our fruits, a "missionary" ministry of church planting from just 8 churches to now more than 270 churches in ten years time. May we live out the last three verses of this psalm to obey His word and do His bidding. And we as His servants will follow Him and His heavenly hosts to do His will and that our inmost being, our souls can give thanks and praise His Holy Name in this transitional time!
I do hope you can click the two beautiful and restful Taize songs and the two hopeful Mandarine songs today to praise the Lord and let your inmost being doing rest in the Lord!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help our inmost being to praise you, follow you and to do your will.
