BROTHERS & SISTERS, PRE-ORDER YOUR BOOKS BEFORE MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER

For Singaporean Brothers & Sisters

Bro Yeoh, a brother-in-Christ and a good friend of mine for past 30 years, has agreed to bring back to Singapore some of my books end of November 2021, if there are people who would like to purchase them. 

       He needs to have an indication of how many books he needs to bring back with him so that he does not end up having too many copies in his stock. 

       All I am asking is for you to compensate him an amount of $5 for his efforts when you pick up the books from his place especially since it would have cost at least $15 to deliver the books via different channels.     

        He does not really need the money but I believe he can always plough back into ministry work.

Where is Pastor Raymond Koh?

@RM35 per copy

Weight per book: 280 gram

Pastor Raymond Koh Keng Joo had no idea what he saw that day would change the course of his life. His heart was broken when he saw youths were loitering near the Checkers mini-market without a direction in life. The neighbourhood of Taman Sri Sentonsa, a mixed residential development located at the outskirt of the city of Kuala Lumpur, was a poor to middle-income suburb. 

Filled with a strong compassion for these school children, he later left his pastoral work to set up Harapan Komuniti to help the marginalised community in Malaysia. While he and his volunteers worked at helping the marginalised youths, something sinister was brewing. The simple yet meaningful Thanksgiving dinner which volunteers of Harapan Komuniti organised on August 3, 2011 was raided. Two weeks later on August 26, he received a death threat. The bloggers were making all sorts of allegations that he was proselytising the Muslims. Yet, he kept silent about it, until that fateful day....

"This book chronicles the chilling events leading to, and after, the abduction. It speaks of the courage of those without whom the facts about the abduction would never have emerged. It is a "must read "for all right thinking Malaysians so that we may ensure that such clandestine and illegal operations never take root in our country."

- Ambiga Sreeneevasan (former President, Bar Council)

You Can't Read Hebrew? Let me Prove You Wrong

@ RM25 copies 

Weight per book: 140 gram

Available from Stephen.Ng.EJ@gmail.com 

Basic Hebrew for beginners with Zero knowledge of the language 

(suitable for individuals or small groups wishing to learn Biblical Hebrew)

To most people, Hebrew looks intimidating. After crossing over the valley of intimidation, the author found Hebrew an easy language to learn. Within just four months, he was able to read the Hebrew Bible, after using some free online resources teaching the basic Hebrew language.

In this book, he not only explains why it is important to hear God’s heartbeat by reading the Bible in the original Hebrew language, but also shares passionately how you can learn the language that God chose to communicate His message to mankind. Written in a style that makes reading easy and fun, he outlines how any ordinary person can now learn to read God’s word in Hebrew.

Author: Stephen Ng is the author of a number of books, including the more recent ones, “Where is Pastor Raymond Koh?”, “Kajang Redemption” and “From a Pest to Pest Controller.” He loves the Hebrew language and within a short span of four months, he was able to read the Hebrew bible proving that Hebrew is not difficult after all.

You can use on paid Zoom link for a few classes

 

You are running your seminary with say up to 100 students. All you need to do is to pay for one Zoom account for up to 100 pax. 

        Here is one example: Set up one Zoom meeting from Mondays through Fridays from 9am - 2pm. This is assuming that you will be having different classes during this period. 

        Create the Breakout Rooms. You can name the Breakout Rooms according to the name of the lecturer or the module that they are teaching. 

        Once the student clicks on the common Zoom link (or enter the Meeting ID & Passcode) for this Zoom link between 9am - 2pm, they will be able to choose which class to enter.

        If you have 400 students in your seminary, then you have to just purchase your Zoom package to accommodate up to 400 students. 

        Technically, it would not disrupt the quality of the connection when you have a 399 students in a 400 pax package. Poor connectivity will only occur when the bandwidth (I think at either the host or the students' end)  is not able to support the 400 pax package. 

Easy! 

        

Using Host Key to claim hosting rights to Zoom

 

Thanks to Su En, we managed to sort out how to use the Claim Host on Zoom using Host Key. Remember the host key is like the key to your home.

1. The host key is available on the PROFILE settings on your web browser. (By this, you have to go to www.(zoom.us and log into your account. Go to PROFILE and scroll down. Host Key is there. You can always change the host key anytime you wish.)

2. With this, the host can set up a meeting (or a series of recurring meeting) and not be bothered about having to log on and transferring the hosting rights to another person.

By giving the host key to your friend, she can then log onto the Zoom link for the meeting and click on "Claim Host". A small window will appear that allows her to type the Host Key. After that, she becomes the host until you join the meeting. If you do not join the meeting, she will be the host until the end of the time set for the meeting.

3. For security reasons, this is how you can do the settings:

(a) First, you have to DISABLE the Waiting room.

• This is done by going to the web browser (www.zoom.us) and logging your account. Go to the SETTINGS and look for Waiting Room. Uncheck the box meaning you are disabling the Waiting Room.
• If you want to have the Waiting Room set, you can still do it later when you are logged onto Zoom. How? Just click on Security and click on Enable Waiting Room.

(b) Zoom has made it a rule now that when you disable the Waiting Room, you will have to put at least the PASSCODE (or we call password) for all meetings.

• Avoid clicking on Registration Authentication to Join. This may complicate things unless you know how this works. Otherwise, people who are given the zoom link, meeting ID and passcode may still be locked out of the meeting.

(c)  When you schedule or edit a Meeting, you can set the time frame that allows your friend to log into the specific meeting. This means she will not be able to log onto other meetings that you have set unless you are not there.

• Let's say you have a meeting from 5pm-6pm on January 10. To allow your friend to log in earlier and claim host using the Host Key you have given her, you have to set the time for the meeting at say 4pm - 6pm. This will allow her to enter after 4pm. All she needs to do is to click on the Zoom link (or put in ID meeting/ passcode). Then, click on Claim Host and type in the host key. She can then host the session on your behalf. Easy!

(d) From time to time, you can change the Host Key, and provide it only to the people who are supposed to be the host for the Zoom links you have created.

Unfortunately, Host keys are generic. It means that if someone you have given the host key to happen to know of another meeting that you have set, she can enter and Claim Host before you enter. However, the good news is: the moment you enter, you will automatically be the Host. If not, all you need to do is to clic on Participants and look for the small icon "Reclaim Host" at the bottom right hand corner of the Zoom app.

This feature by Zoom will help solve a lot of problems especially for schools where there are several teachers using the same paid Zoom link.
