Dear xteam-ers,

it's that time of the year again - back to school!

We thank God for an awesome month of June,
His blessings showered upon us in so so many ways.
Thank God for all the fantastic camps -
Church camp, Soccer camp and Children's camp!

we have seen you grow so much spiritually in this month and we thank God for the sweet unity He has given xtēam.

You have seen God work.
You have been spiritually revived,
You have been spiritually refreshed and now some of you may be asking:

How do we keep the fire alive?



Well, we may not have all the answers, but the following are just some pointers we would like to share with you.



1. Surround yourself with like-minded people
" Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken." -Ecclesiastes 4:9-12



2. Soak yourself in the Word and in Prayer

"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." - Joshua 1:8

"How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You. Blessed are You, O LORD! Teach me Your statutes." - Psalm 119:9-12

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:6-7



3. Surrender yourself daily to the Holy Spirit's control

"I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law...If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit." -Galatians 5:16-18,25



Let's continue to look out for each other and encourage one another in the Lord!
Have a blessed week in school!



with love,

Yu Fei &
