Pastor Aries showed us a one an a half hour video on one of Bill Wilson's message during the 2nd day of Evangelism Xplosion prayer meeting. So let me just share with you some things that i caught from this video.

Anyway, Bill Wilson was the one who came to our church during the hollywood days and ask who was willing to set up a children ministry and that was how our CHCC was built =DD

Can ONE man make a difference?
Num 16
A story in the bible cannot only remain as a story, but it must be a point of true reference. Its like hearing a story in the bible that death came upon the people and 14700 people died and seeing a man having a gun pointed at his head and "bang", half of his head is just being blown off. Is it just a story or something that you feel really happen?

He shared about a town where the people had been living happily in there for years. But when Bill Wilson went to that town, from the church he was able to see another village. So poor, so poor. That village was so near and yet the church had not even help them a single time at all. Not to say even taking a step into that village. When we get close enough to that particular thing, our thinking will change towards that. When we allow that thing to come close to us, the urgency will come. When we allow so, we will understand why some people do things the way they do. Its the same when it comes to evangelising and outreach. We can be near the issue itself but if we're not willing to go and walk in it, we'll be missing out the whole point.

What is the main title that we all should have from the bible? Servant!


Bill Wilson shared his story: When he was still a very young child, one day, his mum ask him to go out and told him to stay under a tree while she went off to get some things. A day passed, his mother didnt come back. Another and another. On the third day, a kind hearted man came up to him and brought him home. That day, he went to church. When it was altar call, he went up. Even though he didnt really know what it meant to receive Jesus but he knew that there was something missing in his life and he went up. Up there, everyone child had a counsellor beside them. Praying for them except him. Even so, he said the sinner's prayer. At the end, he found out that becuse he was wearing a torn hole-ly shirt and pants, all dirty looking that's why no one wanted to pray for him. The reality is that no one wants to go near the outcast. People who are deem to be of a lower class.

Are we willing to go? Or are we just going to say no?


Num 16:48- one person can make a difference. Aaron stood between the living and the dead.
If one person can make a difference, who is that person?

Like the story shared above about the church not helping the poor village people. A community didnt go and help but Aaron went. When we're in it, we either move or walk away!

There is this lady who doesn't know how to speak english but she wanted to help Bill Wilson in his children's ministry and so, he told her to go up on different buses every single week to help out. This lady did so and within one week, she learnt how to say, "I love you and Jesus loves you too". So everytime she goes up on a bus she would pick the dirtiest child and put him or her one her lap and constantly whisper in their ears that "I love you and Jesus loves you too". However, after several weeks of serving, she went up to Bill Wilson and ask him if she could stay on a particular bus. So every week, she would pick this particular child up and whisper in his ears, "I love you and Jesus loves you too". She would keep doing this for the whole journey to church and back. This child has never ever responded to her and the workers couldn't visit him because he lived in a home which had drug addicts outside so the workers were unable to enter. Whenever, it was his stop, the child would just get down the bus and run into his house. But this day, when he got down the bus, he didnt run in to his house immediately. Instead, he went back and whisper into her ears," I...III...lov....love...yo....you...to....too...an..and...Jes...Jesus...lov..loves...me" and then he ran into his house. That night, Bill Wilson received a call to hear that this child was found in a rubbish dump, dead and badly beaten up.

Can one person make a difference? Of course!


When we have someone who is willing to do whatever it takes, it'll become an obsession or passion and if people around you do not know what your passion is, it just means that you do not have one!

He shared with us that Martin Luther was willing to give up whatever he was made to believe since young for some things he knew that was right. Sometimes there are just people around us that will not understand what we're doing.

Num 16:47 -doing something that you cannot do

Being a 100yrs old and still being able to run?

How much do we want it?
When ladies go to the mall and window shop and all... Suddenly they chance upon this dress that she really likes alot. What will she look at first when she picks the dress up?
Price Tag! If the price is too expensive, our desire for it will no longer be so strong as when we first saw it. But do we still want it? Just like evangelism. Are we willing to pay the price?? Or do we look at the price and our desire for it no longer stays as strong?

Do we just pray for revival then....pray for revival and then....... pray for revival again? Are we going to mix our works with it?


Most of us have a map in our mind. Map of what we want to do. Just like there is this guy who was trying to convince the world that you'll not fall off the earth because it is round. He and his people went to the edge of the map that they have in their hands. From there, they could see another island so he called out for his people to move but they didnt. They thought they were going to fall off earth if they went any more forward. So as the leader, he went forward and told his men to follow him. The edge of every map is limited by our mind. We're not getting anywhere until we decide to cross over the line. Just like this guy who crossed over the edge of map of the sea and found a new island!

The need is the call. Don't just sit back and do nothing just because you feel that, God has not called me into any ministry and so, I am going to wait for Him to come and tell me wad is my calling in life. If you can feel the need, that is the call for you. Just like the man who pick up Bill Wilson on the third day? Later, Bill Wilson went to ask him, why did you pick me up? He told him that he saw him there for 2 days. On the 2nd day, he knew something was not right and on the third day, he was still there and the man went and brought him home. To Bill Wilson, whenever he does his busing ministry, he feels like he is piking himself up at every stop. The children he picks up have AIDS, sickness no one will ever want to go near, poor, needy children. He never know what will happen to the child the next minute after they leave his bus so he just does his best in all. Just like we will not know what will happen next, we got to do our best in everything!

Hope you're blessed by this b/c I really spent a long long time typing this =D and hope that ypu're impacted by it=D

love,
