I want to issue a challenge for those of your who are in the PR1ME Ministry to make every effort to attend this year’s spring retreat. I humbly ask that you clear out your schedules for the days March 26 – 28 and make a sincere effort to come and worship the Lord. Without excuses, without feelings of apprehension, just come to the retreat with a desire to grow in the Lord. I have a burden to see you all attend because the messages will be specifically focused on developing your spiritual lives as single adults.
Our theme this year is “Undivided” from 1 Corinthians 7:35 which says, “I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord."
In this verse, Paul is speaking to the singles in the Church of Corinth. He says that singles have a unique gift in that their affections for God do not have to compete with the affections one might have for a spouse or for children. In this way, singles have a greater ability to give full devotion, full commitment, undivided affection to the Lord.
For this year’s retreat, we are very fortunate to learn from Pastor James Yim of Living Way Community Church (www.lwccla.org), where he currently serves as the lead pastor. I attended seminary with Pastor James and have witnessed his dedication to preaching the Word of God. He is a gifted teacher, speaking in truth with great clarity and relevance for the Christian life. Up at the retreat, he will deliver four messages – you really don’t want to miss this opportunity to soak in great teaching.
Just come. Together, let's intensify our devotion to Lord as we seek to give Him our UNDIVIDED affection.
About PR1ME Ministry

- Being single is a gift from God and can be used greatly for His glory. Oftentimes social pressures may dictate that singleness is to be avoided or remedied, leaving singles feeling out-of-place in a world that is seemingly geared towards couples and marriage. Prime exists to "solidify our identities in Christ" as single adults. 2 Peter 1:3 reads, "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness." According to this passage, we can strengthen our identities in Christ by growing in our knowledge of Him. It is our hope and prayer that this ministry would empower singles to take ownership of their identities in Christ during this unique sate of life.
