Inaugural Meeting of DUMC Fathers Club - 17th July

I am looking forward to the 17th of July, Saturday morning, 8.30 to 10.30 am.
Our very first Fathers Club Get Together. Let's be part of this historic event.


We will be having a quick bite between 8:00 - 8:30 am in the concourse and we will start on time in Hall 3.


Already up to 135 men, 9 of them singles, have indicated their interest through the registration form. Among them, they have 254 children and of course, 126 wives.


Guys, we are talking about making a deliberate difference in at least 380 people in the years to come, including ours.


Please start praying! Unless God builds the house, the builders labor in vain.



Psalm 127

A song of ascents. Of Solomon.
 1 Unless the LORD builds the house,
       its builders labor in vain.
       Unless the LORD watches over the city,
       the watchmen stand guard in vain.
 2 In vain you rise early
       and stay up late,
       toiling for food to eat—
       for he grants sleep to those he loves.

 3 Sons are a heritage from the LORD,
       children a reward from him.

 4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
       are sons born in one's youth.

 5 Blessed is the man
       whose quiver is full of them.
       They will not be put to shame
       when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

  1. Our children are likened to arrows (Psa 127:3-5), bearing in mind that arrows were used for wars in Biblical days. I ask myself, what kind of arrows am I preparing in order to fulfill God’s plan on earth and to fight against the onslaught of the enemies? Are my arrows becoming like the following?
