About

h2. NTU CSA Charismatic Prayer Group Since the beginning of Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) in a weekend retreat of a group of students at Duquesne University in the US in the late 1960s, millions of individuals have discovered the new dimension of their relationship with God the Father and the Son, Jesus Christ, through the work of the Holy Spirit. Until today, the CCR still continues carrying out their mission in renewing the life of the Church by the working of the Holy Spirit. In year 2000, another group of students in Nanyang Technological University (NTU) were gathered regularly in their meetings in praise, prayer, sharing, scriptures and teaching. These gathering were the nuclei of the NTU Catholic Students' Apostolate (CSA) Charismatic Prayer Group (CPG). The wind of renewal of the Spirit within NTU CSA has been continuously blowing ever since. In May 2003, by the grace of God, the first Life-in-the-Spirit-Camp (LISC) in CSA was held with "Living life to the fullest" as the theme. The following years, once again the Lord led the LISC 2004 "Giving You my life" and LISC 2005 "Yes, Lord!". The latest was LISC 2009 "Veni Sancte Spiritus!" h2. Our Ministries h3. Teaching Ministry bq. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. (Matthew 28:19-20) Our Teaching Ministry plays an important role in the moulding of our charismatic community to be apostles of Christ in CSA and in the society we are living in. Teaching ministry discerns and plans the topics for teaching session in every prayer meeting, which include contacting the speakers and preparing the materials. We continually seek to improve the sessions so as to make it more interactive and faith enriching. h3. Worship Ministry bq. Hallelujah! Praise God in his holy sanctuary; give praise in the mighty dome of heaven. Give praise for his mighty deeds, praise him for his great majesty. Give praise with blasts upon the horn, praise him with harp and lyre. Give praise with tambourines and dance, praise him with flutes and strings. Give praise with crashing cymbals, praise him with sounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath give praise to the LORD! Hallelujah! (Psalm 150) Our prayer meeting would not be complete without praise and worship. Worship team coordinates the worship leaders and musicians for every meeting. Praise the Lord that He has blessed us with very talented musicians. Those out there who long to reveal your hidden talents, whether in worship leading, singing or playing keyboard, guitar, tambourine or any other instrument ,you name it. come and let the heaven rejoice as we sing our praises!!! h3.

Befriender, Media, and Outreach bq. All who believed were together and had all things in common. They ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart, praising God and enjoying favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved. (Acts 2:44,46-47) Implied by its name, this ministry befriends and outreaches people. This ministry also provides creative media as a way to publicize the events that will be held by NTU CSA CPG as we really want to share and let other brothers and sisters in Christ encounter God's love together with us. h3. Logistic Ministry bq. And whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people. (Colossians 3:23) These are people who always come much earlier as they prepare the room: arranging the chairs, setting up the sound system for every prayer meeting session. Those with big muscles, or not-so-big muscles but a very willing heart, you are most welcome!
