In Pursuit of Eternal Joy

Goh Hock Chye January 6, 2025

"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore" (Psalm 16:11, ESV).

 

Each passing day brings us closer to Christ’s return. As we look forward to that moment, we, as citizens of heaven and children of God, seek to be faithful followers of Christ—whether in navigating the mundane ebbs and flows of daily routines, taking on challenging tasks for God, or being tossed by the insurmountable waves that life throws at us.

We can follow the examples of Jesus (Hebrews 12:2) and the saints of Hebrews 11, who were confident of the eternal joy that God offers, both in the heights of success and the depths of struggle. They pressed on in devoting themselves to the honour of God and pursuing alignment with His will. Their faith was not sidetracked by the fleeting pleasures of sin (Hebrews 11:25), but endured in the pursuit of eternal joy.

 

In 2024, Cru Singapore continued our faith venture to send 200 short-term mission teams over a 25-month period. We are thankful to God for raising up almost 150 teams of over 800 participants, who were sent to 18 countries from December 2023 to December 2024. 

We also saw the launch of two new internship programmes—CATALYST and FUEL—in an effort to raise life-long labourers and expose young people to full-time ministry work and missions opportunities in Singapore and beyond our shores.

All these, along with the stories you will find in our Thanksgiving Report 2024, are made possible only by God. We give all glory to Him for what He has graciously done in and through Cru Singapore.

 

Your partnership in giving and prayers, along with your encouragement have strengthened our hearts, and enabled us to have the needed resources to witness these stories of transformation and impact. Thank you for your partnership, support and encouragement as we trust God to make disciples everywhere! 

 

Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed and fruitful new year (Psalm 65:11)!

Live Wisely

James had written these words in the context of seeking true wisdom. In James 3:13-16, he contrasts two kinds of wisdom: one rooted in selfish ambition, leading to chaos and strife; and another that is pure, peace-loving, gentle and sincere.

Let us #GO!

The famous RMS Titanic sank on April 15, 1912. She collided with an iceberg while making her maiden voyage to the United States. While many people may feel that it was the iceberg that caused the disaster, there was another contributing factor: the sailor on the lookout was not able to spot the iceberg in time.
