TREASURING JESUS

On the surface it’s pretty simple but for many of us these two words bring up mixed emotions. We love him, but as life unravels our lives testify that the path is hard and sometimes we need help when we stumble. Wherever you are on your journey, you are invited to spend one whole night focusing on Treasuring Jesus. It’s painfully simple but important enough to make an event of it. So come along and enjoy the soul-renewing Word of God and heartfelt worship that is on offer.

What God might do in 10 days

steve chongDear friend who has been blessed by God’s work through the RICE movement,

I’m writing to you because I am genuinely excited about what God might do in just over 10 days from now.

The second ever RICE Regenerate happens on the evening of Saturday December 5 and it will be an incredible night.  I simply cannot wait to see what God might do.

I have reason to expect great things, not just because we should expect great things from a great God, but because if last year was anything to go by then why not again!? 

Honestly, last year’s RICE Regenerate was one of the most special nights of my life. 

That’s big call I just made but it really was one of those life changing nights for me. God worked in me that night by His Spirit as the word was preached, in such a way, that the ripples from that night are still reverberating through into my walk with God today.

I’m praying that God does something similar again in the hearts of everyone who comes through the doors on December 5.  I’m literally praying that *now.*  (feel free to join in!)

Of course, it’s just one night and that won’t change everything, but I tell you what it might do?  It might give you just a small taste, a little whetting of the appetite, of what it might look like for a generation to unite around Jesus and with one voice call out on God to show us his might.  And so I’m writing to urge you to come along.

I can’t wait to sing with you, to pray with you and to hear Al Stewart passionately call on us to treasure Jesus in a world where so many things compete to be our ‘treasure.’  Come along and let’s refocus.

You know, I have been praying that God might pour out His Spirit and bring revival to our city and beyond.  Church history tells us that often the pre-cursor to God doing this kind of thing, is young people gathering, praying, repenting of sin, treasuring Jesus and being renewed and refreshed in their worship of Jesus.

So here’s an idea. Ready?

How about a bunch of young people gather on Saturday Dec 5, pray, repent, treasure Jesus and be renewed… and leave the rest to God?

Are you in?

If so – it would be so wonderful if you could help the Regenerate team out by letting them know you are coming by buying your ticket now.

And while you are deciding about whether you should give up a Saturday night for this, you have to check out this video.  If you missed it last year, (or just want to re-live that incredible night) watch this video, and look out for three things:

1) the joy on people’s faces as they unite around Jesus (watched it 3 times now and keeps bringing me to tears)
2) the different ways people chose to respond to the word as they prayed and then (when they were ready) chose which response room to go to
3) watch to the end and you be rewarded by hearing a room full of young people unite with Christians throughout history and throughout the world as they say an ancient creed with unrivalled enthusiasm!

So, are you in? 

Then buy your tickets and I’ll see you there!

In His overflowing love,

Steve Chong
Director of the RICE Movement
