Greetings in the mighty name of Jesus from the Land of the Rising Sun!
How are you all doing? I trust that this mail finds you blessed and well especially after having an awesome weekend with Dr. John Avanzini. Personally, my faith has been greatly enlarged and my mindset towards prosperity renewed. I used to think that it is a very humble posture to live with the little that I have especially after I have pledged so much to God. But after last weekend, my mind is transformed. I can expect God to bless me 30, 60 and 100 fold every time. That it is not wrong to believe God for a bumper harvest and that I should not feel guilty when He prospers me. God wants us to prosper so that we may be a blessing to those around us. And I have since removed that double-mindedness within me. There is now an agreement between my conscious mind and my sub-conscious mind. I know you have experienced the same too. So, let us believe God together for this major breakthrough that will come our way! Amen! And in the coming weekend, after we have tabulated all the pledges, I will officially announce to you how much we have pledged towards the 'WAR-CHEST OFFERING.' I know you are very eager to know. Me too! And I can assure you the exact amount will blow all of us away!
After this weekend, we are going to enter into another very busy and fruitful season. In 2 weeks’ time, we will have Ps. Pat Mesiti with us. He will be teaching us on the principles of relationship and also Biblical Financial Excellence. After that, at the end of May, we will be having Rev. Dr. Kong Hee with us. May is going to be one important season. I want all of us to prepare ourselves right now. Free up your calendar and ensure that you are here to receive the revelation and blessings of God. I am excited about them myself because I know if I avail myself to receive, He will always transform me and take me to a whole new level. Church, may I encourage you to prepare yourself like that? Do the same and let’s experience the opened heaven together!
Running alongside you,
KEV

Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!
First and foremost, I would like to warmly welcome Rev. Dr. John Avanzini into our midst. This is the first time that Dr. Avanzini is speaking at our church hence I would like to ask all of us to come prepared to receive a fresh revelation from God concerning our tithes and offering and our ability to handle finances.
Dr. Avanzini is the foremost apostle of God in the area of Biblical Economics. Today, almost all the offering passages that churches use to teach its congregation has its origin in Dr. Avanzini’s teachings. His uncompromising stand on tithing and offering has taken churches of the modern society to a whole new level, enlarging its capacity to believe and do more for the kingdom of God. This has greatly transformed churches, elevating them from poverty thinking to a prosperous mindset – setting them free from the bondage of debt and lack!
In the past, the church of God is like a dump site. Anything old like old TVs and old sofas and anything unusable like spoilt microwave ovens would be donated to the church. But is this how the church of God ought to be treated? Is it right for us to offer to God anything that we no longer want? Church, it is so important for us to learn this right now. We need to go a level higher when it comes to treating the house of God. We need to be more excellent in our giving. We need to be more faithful in our tithing. We need to learn how to maintain the house of God accordingly.
This weekend, I am sure all of us will learn a new perspective on all these. I want our church to be stronger in the area of giving because I want to see all of you succeed and do well in life. This is so important because it is only when we are financially free and capable that we are able to sow more into the kingdom of God. And it is through this that the work of God can be enlarged and extended.
Church, let’s learn to give sacrificially yet cheerfully,
In Him,
KEV

Dear family and friends,
Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!
First and foremost, I would like to warmly welcome all of you to our Easter Weekend! What an amazing weekend this is! This year, for the very first time, we are conducting 5 services; starting from Friday night all the way until Sunday noon. We are believing God for 2800 people in total attendance! It is going to be one huge exciting and meaningful weekend for us to come to know and experience God in a real and personal way. Not only that, it is also a good opportunity for each and every one of us to enjoy the fellowship of a Christian community.
Easter. Why Easter? Easter is important because it is the day Jesus died on the cross to pay for the penalty of our sins. It is the day death was overcome. It is the day the fullness of Christ was revealed. Without Easter, our faith in God would be meaningless. Our life would be purposeless. Christianity would just be another social club!
But, very often we hear people say that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. But what does it mean? It is simply trying to tell us that the death of Christ on the cross has made it possible for humanity to have a relationship with God. Jesus has become the bridge that connects us back to God. Christian faith is faith in Christ. It is not in a set of rules. It is not in a set of principles. Neither is it in a set of right living. It is in the person of Christ.
Jesus said, ‘I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me!’
Friends, Jesus is the door. Jesus is the way. Without Him, we can never do enough to earn God’s grace. Our works would be futile. Today, may I encourage you to invite Jesus into your life to be your LORD and your Savior. And I believe when you do that, your life will never be the same again!
Amen!
Have an awesome and unbelievable weekend!
KEV, Esther and Eitan!

Dear Church,
Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!
WOW! It is just so great seeing so many of you in church!
Firstly, I would like to apologize on behalf of Ps. Kong for not being able to make it to our church last weekend. Pastor had to fly back to LA to attend to Sun, who just had an operation. And Sun is still not feeling too well. So, I want to ask all of us to continually intercede for Sun.
Last weekend, we had another breakthrough attendance of 1649 people! Hallelujah! God is amazing! We have been growing and growing since the turn of this year. I pray we can keep the momentum and reach 2000 people by the end of this year. Amen. Well, growth is a privilege but it is also a responsibility. That is why I am taking this weekend to talk about the importance of evangelism and winning the lost. It is simply because all of us are called to be soul-winners!
The Great Commission is a command that Jesus left us with before He ascended into heaven. It was not supposed to be a suggestion that we can decide if we want to do it. We have to do it. The love of God compels us to win the unsaved, for without God, all of them will have to pay for the penalty of their sins – death.
Church, Easter is just around the corner. We are going to have 5 services this time round and it is going to be massive. Our goal is to see 2800 people that weekend. So, I want to take this opportunity to encourage all of us to start praying for the names in our prospect list and intercede until we receive a breakthrough from the LORD. I know the goal is huge and it excites me. I believe it excites you as well. So, let us do all we can to bring our friends to church on Easter and let them hear and experience the transforming power of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Amen!
Love,
KEV
