Happy New Year! and New Theme for the OBMBC



3.5% is our Theme for 2010. Let me explain, the planet Earth is covered by three quarters of the boy of waters, we called it sea. The amazing fact is that the sea water contains 3.5% of salt in it. The other 96.5% is purely water by itself. However, when you taste the sea water, you know how much salty it is. Our Lord, Jesus Christ pulls this example so effectively as He compares us, the Christians with the Salt. Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth." Matthew 5:13. Imagine that if a few percent of salt contains in the sea water can make it salty, then we a few Christians also can be the salt of the Earth to impact the world. Jesus did not suggest that we should be salt of the earth, but He said that we are the salt of the earth. So, we are already the salt. The question is that Do you have saltiness in you? or Have you lost salt flavor in you? The next sentences in Matt.5:13 are that if the salt has lost the flavor, it is unusable and throw away. Our hope and pray is that we all will be salty Christians to influence our surrounding people, to be testimonies for our Lord, to guide and lead people unto Him for their salvation. Let the salt reminds us whenever we taste it in our food and see it or use it in our daily life that we are to be the salt of the Earth. 3.5% is our focus and our theme in our preaching, praying, serving as we go through this year 2010. May you have a blessed New Year as you commit yourselves in the Lord, Jesus Christ.

2009 Christmas Eve Drama

The excitement was in the air as we began to perform the musical drama right after the Christmas Eve service. You may not know if you were watching in the seat how much tension we have had in the back of the stage. We were blessed to be able to pull up everything in a short time. Many Youths and Young Adults have given their best in presenting the good tiding of great joy to the viewers. We hope and pray that the good news won't stay in the place but being carried out by all viewers to their places.



Angles lifted up their praises to the new born King.



The Sheep and Cats danced around the manger and they were expressing the knowledge of the Savior's birth.





It was hard journey for the Mary and Joseph along with their donkey toward the birth place of Bethlehem.



Finally, the Inn Keeper, Samuel found the Savior who was born right at the back of his Inn, the manger. He said that he wished to know the Savior earlier so that he would have welcome Him in his Inn. Now, we all want to see that everyone, including you to welcome the Savior, Jesus Christ, the Immanuel (God with us) into your heart today. May your heart be the place where the Savior born today. Marry Christmas!
