City Harvest Church KL Blog

Dear Church,

Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus!

Last week was a phenomenal week for all of us belonging to the City Harvest family. My family and I were in Singapore to hear the announcement of the new building first hand. The day was filled with much expectation as everyone began to guess where it could be. I, for one, thought it was somewhere near the golf course facing the sea. WOAH! I thought how cool it would be if our church’s convention center faces the sea, with a row of cafes and retail stores lining the coast! Phew! Simply perfect! So, after the long wait we finally got to the service. The praise and worship was awesome and the presence of God was strong. Though there were no signs or billboards, one could sense everyone had a placard hanging over their shoulders, waiting for the super huge announcement saying, ‘Pastor, where is our new home?’

Finally, the time came for Ps. Kong to deliver his message. He preached with passion and anointing. Half way through his sermon, he said, ‘A picture paints a thousand words. But a video paints a trillion words. Video crew, let’s roll the video!’ The fast-paced and effects soaked video clip got everyone cheering and screaming at the edge of their seat! At one point, a glimpse of the new site, blurred by the CGI effects flashed across the screen. But no one could make out where was that. Or perhaps no one could believe their eyes seeing the familiar gigantic structure for the first time. 2 minutes into the video, the actual site was zoomed in from outer space. And now, without a shadow of doubt it is indeed the well-known Suntec International Convention Centre! Oh man! The excitement was unbearable. I felt like my heart was exploding. Can you believe it? What? Am I seeing this for real? After that, we must have clapped, cheered, screamed, praised and roared for a good 2 minutes. There were almost no dry eyes in the house. Yes, we have secured a substantial stake in the consortium that owns Suntec Convention Center! WOW! What a victory! Such unspeakable joy! God has indeed been good to us. To own a stake in an established convention center and turn the largest indoor hall into our church is even more mind-boggling and more ground-breaking than building one on a new site! Kudos to Ps. Kong and Sun – for their wisdom, faith and a never give-up attitude.

Now, we can rejoice and smile each time we drive past it. We can quietly say in our hearts, ‘We have a share in it.’

And as if that was not a news big enough, CHC Singapore will be moving into their new home 12 months from now – March 2011!

2010 is really going to be an amazing year!
