OCF Convention 2009

Here’s a write up on what happened during our fund raising night in Adam Road Presbyterian Church on 20 June 09. There were many ex-OCFers from every single decade. We even had the pioneering batch of OCFers that came. What a night of thanksgiving and also sharing about our 50th OCF Convention in Malacca.

Here’s the news report:

OCF 50th Convention is only 6 months away! We, the Committee are excited at your excitement and can’t wait to meet up with all of you. How wonderful it will be to take the opportunity to praise God for what He has done, meet up with old (or older) faces, and renew our faith and commitment together as a body!

In order to make all this happen, we need your help! To make sure Convention is impactful and affordable to all, we have a challenge to raise funds. RM100,000 to be exact. This amount comes from accommodating our various Convention Speakers we are blessed to have, partial subsidies for room charges for Convention delegates and running the various workshops and ministry programs.

That’s where you come in!

Enjoy meeting up with old friends? Whipping up a storm in the kitchen? If you want to contribute as an OCF Alumni, why not throw a fundraising dinner and invite your old OCF buddies or network with new ones? Have fun raising funds focusing on food at the same time. It’s a great way to show you care and a great way come together as OCF fellowship, just like old times.

Here’s what you can do –

1)    Indicate to us your interest to be our official OCF Makan Master! Email us at committee@ocfconvention.org or call us at (65) 9154 9003
2)    Invite your friends for dinner.
3)    You can invite guests to attend and pay a set fee – eg $20 per head.
4)    Send them our OCF Makan invite
5)    You and your friends could start a chain of dinner parties inviting someone at your party to host the next fund raising dinner party.
6)    If you like, we can help you by coming to share with your friends what OCF 50th Convention has in store for you

Any questions or help, please do not hesitate to contact us.

In the meantime, Makan Away for OCF50th Convention!!

On behalf of the Convention 2009 committee, we would like to formally invite you to be a Convention Ambassador for this year’s OCF 50th Convention.

As you are aware, OCF holds its annual convention sometime in December. It is a time where members from the different centres across Australia gather in one location to worship and seek God, to fellowship with one another, to learn His Word and to act practically to serve others, particularly through missions. The Convention is also usually held in Australia and involves mostly current student OCFers.

This year’s Convention will be similar in many aspects.

However, it will also be very different as we will be celebrating our 50 years of being based in the Australian campuses, where we actively reach out, build up and send back many generations of international students. As such, we want to take this opportunity to invite both past and present OCFers to gather together to seek and thank God for what He has done to and through OCF over the past 50 years. It will also be a time to look forward to the new things He will do in our midst.

To get things going, we will have to tell a lot of ex- and present OCFers that Convention is on and that they are invited to it. But the Committee consists of only a handful of us with a limited number of contacts.

This is where you come in!

We would like to invite you to be a Convention Ambassador: to be one to spread the word about Convention 09 to your peers, friends, cousins, brothers, sisters, parents, etc, namely everyone whom you know to have been involved in OCF or have been touched by OCF. With your help, we will be able to let more people know that the Convention is on.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to drop us an email at ocf50conv(at)gmail.com. We have also prepared a set of FAQs and other materials to help you through.

Thank you for your help.

In His love,

Wang Wei
On behalf of
The OCF 50th Convention Committee

PS: This is a chance to Partner with us in Fulfilling the Vision of OCF. We need you help!

A note from our chairlady:

This year, from the 9th to 13th December 2009, we are gathering all current and previous OCFers to meet together at Hotel Equatorial, Melaka for our OCF 50th Anniversary Convention.

Each of us is running a race in life. We have gone through failure and success, suffering and joy, hardship and fulfilment. Some of us have given up, some of us have been distracted, some of us are still pressing on, and some of us are searching. We want to seek afresh and renew our passion and commitment to God, to restore the God-given vision for our lives and our community, and renew hope for our future and the world.

Our convention theme is Restoring Vision, Renewing Hope (1 Peter 1:3b).

We warmly invite you to join us this December in this jubilee celebration! And not only so, be our Convention Ambassador! Help us spread the word and invite your old OCF friends to come together. 

Hui Ling,
on behalf of OCF Convention Team
