The Alumni Malaysia Bible Seminary (English Department)

Dear friends,

I have good news to share with you. Our ED alumni is now officially registered. The registration of our society named “Persatuan Alumni Malaysia Bible Seminary Kuang, Selangor (Alumni Malaysia Bible Seminary Association Kuang, Selangor)” has been approved by the Registrar of Societies on 19th September 2011.

In conjunction with this, the Alumni Committee is organising a dinner (fully sponsored) to celebrate and to invite membership subscriptions from all our alumni. Remember, ‘membership has its privileges!’ The dinner will be held next at the restaurant next to NECF office. After dinner we will proceed to NECF conference hall for a short meeting so that I can brief you on the progress of MBS. There will also be a time of discussion, to explore ways in which the Alumni can help both its alma mater and our fellow alumni.

The programme is as follows:

Date: 13 February 2012 (Monday)
Venue: NECF Conference Room
32 Jalan SS2/103, 47300 Petaling Jaya,
Programme:
6.30 pm Dinner

Rev Dr Tony Lim
Dean of English Department/ President, Alumni Malaysia Bible Seminary Association

We are happy to inform that a number of the alumni residing overseas have signed up. On the local front, we understand that many of you are finding difficulty to go away for this 2 days' retreat. As we value your presence and participation, we are asking you to come for only half a day as follows:

Besides hearing from previous lecturers in Drs Jeanette Hui and Chong Kwong Tek, Tony Lim, the present dean will be sharing to us the new vision of ministry and collaboration. We seek your presence to partner with MBS in exploring new ways to strengthen the theological foundations in the local churches that we represent.

While the alumni committee will sponsor the cost of your meals, you need to confirm with me your attendance so that I can inform the caterer. For those of you who can stay on for the night, you need to pay only half the registration fee.

See you there!

Coping with Stress from a Psychological and Physiological Perspective

While most of us experience stress in everyday life, pastors very often suffer unconsciously from an occupation hazard called "compassion fatigue". Since we are not even aware of it, we are not able to prevent its effects on us such as reduced job performance, a lowered self-esteem, depression, and increased tension in other areas of our lives. The stress can also cause insomnia, irritability, emotional withdrawal and helplessness.

To address these concerns, we are privileged to have Dr Eric Scalise to help pastors cope with stress in ministry from a psychological and physiological perspective. Dr Scalise is one of the vice-presidents of the American Association of Christian Counselors and the Executive Director of their International Board of Certified Christian Counselors & Caregivers. He speaks regularly on mental health and leadership issues both on the homefront and overseas.

Details of the meeting are as follows:

Date: 26 Nov (Fri)
Time: 9 am - 12 noon
Venue: DUMC,Petaling Jaya
Fee: FREE (courtesy of the MBA Alumni Association)
