The holidays are here! Though some will be ruing that they still have to go back to school for CCAs, project work and leadership training, we do hope you have a wonderful holiday ahead of you. Do spend your time wisely and prioritize your time well so that you can finish your assignments and still enjoy your holidays!
In the month of June, do consider some of the activities that Student Venture has in stored:
1. National Student Evangelism Training (5th June and 12th June)
The 2 day training will walk you through not only the importance of evangelism but also the different ways we can do it. Do contact Johnson @ 90219847 as tickets are limited!
2. Street Evangelism (15th June and 22nd June)
We will be hitting the streets to hear what are people think about God and also what are some of their struggles. Fear of speaking to strangers? No worries! Our staff will lead and you can just listen and learn from them. Do contact Johnson if you are interested.
Alright! Have a nice June holidays!
This year we will be holding an evangelism training in June. The theme for the training is “Ready? SET, GO!” The idea is to question ourselves, are we Ready? to share the good news with our friends, if not, come for our SET (Student Evangelism Training) and you can Go!
As we interact with students over the years, we realized that many of them struggle with evangelism because they do not know how to do so. Although many of them have the heart to share, more often than not, they give up because of fear or rejections. We hope that through our 2 days of training, we can equip students with some useful tools to help them in their evangelism. More importantly, that by coming, they can eliminate any fears or anxieties that have with sharing their faith.
The training will be held in a 2 day workshop style. Below is the program and synopsis of the workshops for each day.

Synopsis of Workshops
5th June 2009
Basic Package I
Priority of Evangelism
You may have heard of the ten commandments, but do you know the Great Commission given by Jesus? Jesus gave his disciples (as well as us) a command to go and make disciples of all nations. However, we often forget the priority of making Christ known in our lives. In this lesson, may we be touched by God’s heart for the lost and be convicted about our God-given mission.
The Main Points of the Gospel
Tried sharing Christ with your friends before, but have no idea where to start or what to say? Don’t be discouraged! Come and learn how you can share the gospel using 4 simple points. There will also be a showcase of some creative platforms that can reach your friends in a connecting and effective way.

12th June 2009
Basic Package II
The Person that God Uses
Sharing Christ is more than saying the right words. It’s also about being right before God; confessing our sins and allowing Christ to take control. In order to be an effective witness for Christ, we must walk in the Spirit moment by moment. Come and learn how we can be empowered in the Holy Spirit and bear fruits in our witnessing.
Reaching the Post-Moderns
The mindset of the world is changing everyday, but the gospel message remains the same. How do we bring the truth of God to a world that believes in no absolute truth? How do we engage the world that is more convinced by experience than explanation? Learn a ‘ABC’ model that can help you connect to this post-modern generation.
Workshops II (Choose one)
Christian Apologetics
“How do you know the bible is true? How can Jesus be God and Man?” Apologetics has been defined as “the science and art of defending the faith.” Learn how to answer the age-old question of the deity of Jesus Christ and the reliability of the bible through this workshop.
Conversational Evangelism
Most Christians tend to talk first and ask questions later. But listening is persuasive. It opens new door to faith. Come join this workshop to learn how to dialogue with people and discover the conversational approach to evangelism.
We’ve uploaded last 2 weeks topics! You can look through them under “SV Devotions”
The new devotions are:
1. On the Integrity of our Christian character (Part 1) Battling our inconsistencies by grace and grit
2. The Discipline of Grace – Wielding grace and grit in our fight to maintain Christian integrity
Next week will be the last devotion for this semester. Devotions will resume in July.
Hi all! We’ve included some new features to our blog! We’ve included the outlines for the RJC Morning devotions in our blog. So for some reasons if you are unable to come in that morning, you can still read the devotion for that day through our blog. We hope this will keep you updated on what is being preached. Feel free to comment and discuss.
The devotions are kept under the heading “SV Devotions”
