1. Bible Study on Joshua (2)
Joshua 3:7 "And the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses.
This week we will be studying bible passages related to Joshua in more details, referring to the days when Joshua led the people of Israel into the Promised Land. Here we can see how his faithfulness has found him favour in the eyes of God, and how we should all aspire to be a faithful young leader like Joshua.

3. Audition invitation from the Cambridge University Christian Drama Society
Dear Christian brothers and sisters,
We would like to involve you in a really exciting project! We're planning to
produce a wholly original Christian play at the end of April this year. For
those of you who've been to "Tears in Heaven" - a very successful Christian
musical produced in both Cambridge and in Hong Kong last year - you will
know exactly what we're talking about! The same producer and his team is
currently working on another production this year. Most of the
administrative planning has been completed and now we're in the most
exciting stage of the production: involving all of you in the drama! The
production itself is scheduled on 27 and 28 April.
We have formally established ourselves as a society within the University of
Cambridge, known as 'Cambridge University Christian Drama Society', and we
believe in utilising drama (primarily but not exclusively) to spread the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. We feel this has been a relatively under-utilised
avenue for evangelism, and our vision is to see drama become one of the
forefront channels of spreading the Gospel. This is the first year of our
inception, and we are seeking people from the JF who are interested in
joining us this year. You don't need any prior drama or production
experience. All you need is enthusiasm for the Gospel! Some knowledge in
understanding or speaking Cantonese is preferred, but not entirely
necessary.
Our secondary method of evangelism is to provide opportunities for
non-Christians that would like to know more about Christian values to
participate actively in the production effort. Based on last year's
experience in producing 'Tears in Heaven', we find that we have been able to
evangelise very successfully to non-Christians who were actively involved in
the production team itself. Any profits will be donated to a registered
Christian charitable organisation.
If you would like to be involved in this exciting project, please do feel
free to contact us! You can choose to be involved in all sorts of roles, be
it backstage management, part of the lighting team or even in front stage
acting. If you are interested in acting for this production, we will be
holding auditions next week. This is primarily to let us get to know you
better, and also an opportunity for you to get to know us as well.
Auditions:
Saturday 10th March, 3:00pm and
Sunday 11th March, 4:30pm
Pembroke college Room O (meet at the Porter's lodge)
Short introduction of the drama plot:
In a remote village in ancient China, there was a boy whose dream was to be
rich and successful. His ambition propelled him to place wealth and fame
above all other things... Until one particular day, when tragedy struck and
his life was completely changed, for something other than money saved his
life...
It is truly our prayer that, through this production, more people
(especially Chinese) in Cambridge will come to know Christ! And we also
truly hope that you can be part of our team to make this vision come true!
Please feel free to contact us if you have any queries at all.
"Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has
been given to Me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and
teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with
you always, to the very end of the age."
