Feb 27, Miri – After some years of waiting, my wife Roseline and I finally got to join the Yellow Book Disciple Course after having completed the Red, Purple, and Green Books.<\/p>\n
This year, DISCIPLE – Under The Tree of Life (Yellow Book) is facilitated by Pastor Linberg Wong of Agape Grace Methodist Church.<\/p>\n
In total, 13 participants enrolled.<\/p>\n
To study this Book, one needs to have at least completed DISCIPLE: Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study (Red Book).<\/p>\n
One is expected in terms of time and discipline – investing 30 to 45 minutes of daily reading and note-taking, reflecting and praying 6 days a week, and participation in a two-and-a-half-hour weekly group study for 32 weeks.<\/p>\n
Bishop Richard B. Wilke, who created The DISCIPLE Bible Study Series, has always said that the Disciple Study is not for information but for Transformation.<\/p>\n
\u201cA loving family is worth more than the whole wealth in the world. And we ought to learn from the Book of Ruth how we should take our family seriously and apply loyalty and loving-kindness,\u201d commented participant Robert Ting, a Small Group Leader and Chairman of Agape Grace Methodist Church.<\/p>\n
\u201cOften family cohesiveness is not easy to maintain; what more about connections with our extended family? Effort and sacrifices need to be made,\u201d my wife expressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI pray you all will be disciplined and stay faithful to complete the course,\u201d encouraged Pastor Linberg. \u201cRemember to do your daily reading and do not try to rush everything,\u201d added the good shepherd.<\/p>\n
A simple celebratory dinner was held in my home last evening before we commenced our first lesson reciting Ruth 1:16,
\nDo not press me to leave you
\nor to turn back from following you!
\nWhere you go, I will go;
\nwhere you lodge, I will lodge;
\nyour people shall be my people,
\nand your God my God.<\/p>\n
