Dear Family and Friends,
Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!
How are you? I hope that everything is well over at your end. As I sit here to write another week’s Pastor’s Writes, I have no choice but to admit that time flies scarily fast! It felt like just yesterday that I was seated down to write and now another week has come and gone. Friends, time is by far the most precious commodity that you and I can ever have. And with our society moving ahead so quickly, we really have to seize every moment that the LORD has given to us. I want to ask all of us to spend more time in prayer and draw ourselves closer to God. Apart from that, do everything we can to win our friends. Learn to give up our personal agendas and learn to serve. Learn to care for others genuinely. Time is just too short to be dwelling in disappointments and hurts. Let’s help each other to move on strongly in the LORD. Amen?
And now, I would like to warmly welcome Ps. Pat Mesiti into our midst once again! For those of you who have heard him before, I am sure you are truly looking forward to the ever witty and inspiring Ps. Pat! And for those who have yet to hear Ps. Pat, you are really in for a treat. Ps. Pat is an amazing communicator. Not only is he an anointed evangelist, he is also a very successful wealth creation speaker. Through his teaching, many have found success and live better lives. And I am sure this week is no exception either. I want to encourage all of you to come prepared. Come expectant, knowing that God will do something in your life, especially in the area of relationships!
I know sometimes we think that life is pretty much the same even though we keep coming back to church week in and week out. But I want to assure you that the LORD has done a lot on the inside of you, be it spiritually or the way you think. And it is that molding that has shaped us into who we are today. Never let the devil tell you coming to church is not important. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so actively distracting the believers, would he?
Stay sharp,
KEV

Dear Family and Friends,
Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!
How are you doing? I pray that this mail finds you blessed and well. First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Dr. Eddie King into our midst. Pastor Ed comes from Knoxville and he has a thriving and vibrant congregation. He is a great teacher of the Word of God and I want to ask you to come prepared to receive and draw from the man of God. I believe you will certainly be blessed.
On the other hand, another week has come and gone and I want to encourage all of you to stay focused and keep close to Jesus. Do not be easily surprised by disappointments or setbacks in life, for they are common. It is how we deal with all these things that builds strength and character on the inside of us. Remember, it is during adversity that we know ourselves better. So, as your pastor, I want to encourage you to spend more time in prayer. Pray not because you have to but pray because you need to know the heart of God. Pray because you need to draw strength and wisdom from God.
Apart from this, I also want to remind all of you to fulfill your Building Fund. April is the final month for us to fulfill our pledges and May is our grace period. After that, we will close our 4th Arise and Build season before starting it again in November. I want to ask you to plan out your finances wisely. Do not be reckless with your spending. Remember to set aside the amount that you have pledged to build the house of God. This is our spiritual heritage. This is our commitment.
Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen a lot of new friends coming back to church. It is a good thing. We have grown close to 100 people and I am praying that we will have an average of 1650 people by the end of May. Let’s work towards that and pray with greater fervency.
Your pastor and friend,
KEV

Dear Family and Friends,
Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!
First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all our new friends and family members back to church once again, especially those who came to church for the very first time last week and those responded to the altar call. It fills my heart with joy to have all of you coming back to the house of God to worship with us once again.
Last week was truly monumental. We had our largest Easter attendance ever, with a total of 3824 people turning up for all of our 5 services and a record of 211 people responded to the altar call. Hallelujah! Seeing so many of you responding to the love of God only warmed our hearts and reminded us that all our hard work was worthwhile. However, that is just the beginning of a very exciting and faith-filled journey. The LORD has indeed prepared a great destiny for all of us to discover. It is going to be a lifetime of ‘WOWS’ and ‘WOAHS’! I am honored to be able to take this journey together with you.
In the next 2 weeks, we have prepared 2 very gifted speakers to teach us the Word of God. Firstly, we have Dr. Ed King. He is a great teacher of the Word. He is going to blow you away with his spiritual insights. Secondly, we have the famous and witty Ps. Pat Mesiti to teach us on one of the most mysterious topics on planet earth: RELATIONSHIP. He is going to share with us how we can stay together without killing somebody. It is going to be a massive weekend.
Invite all your friends to come. Invite your family members to come. I am sure they will laugh, cry and have their lives impacted at the same time. 2010 is really going to be one amazing year that will shape and lift our spiritual lives to a whole new level.
So church, be prepared to run... because I do not want any of us to be left behind.
Love you heaps!

Dear Friends,
Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus and welcome to City Harvest, Kuala Lumpur!
What a great joy it is to have you with us this weekend!
First and foremost, my family and I would like to wish everyone a happy and blessed Easter! Easter is probably the most important day in the calendar of the Christian church. It is the weekend that marks the crucifixion and the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is a time of celebration, though it began with Jesus’ suffering. For through it, He overcame death on the cross. As such, those who believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). Lives would carry a new sense of purpose and destiny. Christianity is built on such solid foundation – that Christ died and is risen. Had Jesus not risen, our faith would be meaningless. Had Jesus not overcome death, there would be no cause of celebration.
Christian faith lies in the person of Jesus, the Savior of our soul. It is not based on a list of principles or a set of rules. Our salvation is not a result of our work or our effort. We are saved because we place our faith in Jesus. Is it that simple? Yes, but that is because God has paid the price for us.
This weekend at City Harvest, we have adapted a story in the Bible to show everyone the magnitude of the love of Christ and the challenges that all of us have to face. Sometimes, life can really be tough. But with God, we know we can overcome all things. With God, we can look at life from a totally different perspective. And my friends, may I invite you to come and celebrate this special weekend with us and at the same time, open your heart to allow God to do a new work in you?
It is my prayer that you life is touched and blessed!
Much love and prayers,
KEV
