Hi Church,

Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!

This week, we only have 1 service as the majority of our church is in Singapore to attend the 2nd Asia Conference. Thank you for coming. Though our service may not be as usual, I believe the presence of God and the spiritual atmosphere is equally strong. After much thought and prayer, I have decided to ask Abel to come back to preach. The last time he preached in church was like 5 years ago! WOW! That was a very long time ago. Anyway, I believe he has prepared a great Word for you this time round. So, do come prepared to receive from this young man who has been mightily used by the LORD.

After this weekend, we will be having Rev. Dr. Kong Hee in our midst! WOW! What a great privilege it is for us to have so many great men of God to come and impart into our lives. Because Ps. Kong only comes to our church twice a year, I want to encourage you to invite as many friends as possible to come and hear the Word of God. More than just being touched, I believe their lives will be changed too. Amen! I am expecting a large crowd of more than 2500 people next weekend, so please come early. Come prepared to minister and come prepared to be a blessing.

The LORD has blessed our church with great momentum this year. From an average attendance of only 1400 people in January, we are now almost 1700! I want to ask all of us to continue to pray so that we may enlarge our capacity to serve and contain all our new friends. Our dream this year is to grow our church to 2000 people. We are almost in the half way mark now... so, let’s pray and believe God that soon, we will have 2000 people in our church! Amen!

I am very excited in my spirit because I am greatly anticipating the completion of our new sanctuary! As we build God’s house, I am sure He will build ours!

AMEN!

Hi Church,

Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!

First and foremost, I would like to once again welcome Dr. John Avanzini into our midst. It is a great honor for us to have him with us as he teaches us on Biblical Economics and Christian Stewardship. Over the last year, Bro. John has released great words of faith into our spirit that has brought about much breakthrough and transformation in us. I believe this year is no exception either. As we come to receive the Word of God in faith, I believe the LORD will work mightily in our midst once again. I am believing God for MIRACLES! I am believing God to open the floodgates of heaven and pour out His blessings into our lives. I want to be empowered so that I may continually do the work of God. I want to see lives changed. I am sure you do too. Hence, let’s come prepared to draw from the man of God and step out in faith in the area of finances. Let’s learn to let go. I am sure we will soon experience our biggest breakthrough ever! Amen!

After this weekend, we will all be heading to Singapore for the 2nd Asia Conference. WOO HOO! This year is going to be bigger and better. With the host of guest speakers that are coming and the amount of programs prepared for us, I am sure every fiber of our soul would be blessed and expanded. So, please prepare yourself well for the conference. Make sure you get enough rest, drink lots of water, and prepare yourself spiritually through fasting and praying. Ask God to do a new work on the inside of you. Invite Him to come into your world and mold you to be better servants and better leaders. Let’s not remain at the same level. Let’s take a step of faith and go higher! Let’s set aside our earthly pleasures in exchange for His heavenly desires.

Church, we only live our lives once. Let’s live it for the glory of God. Let’s live it in such a way that people will always remember us as good and faithful servants!

Running with you,

KEV

Hi Church,

Greetings from Hong Kong!

WOW! What a great Mother’s Day weekend we have had! It was awesome. I was so happy to see more than 200 mothers coming to our church. All the services were soaked with God’s presence and truly there were no dry eyes in the house. As a church, I want each and every one of us to learn to honor and respect our mothers, not just on Mother’s Day but every day of our lives. Apart from that, we also recorded a high attendance of 1650 people. Amen!

This week we have a great man of God in the house and he is none other than the amazing Ps. Tan Seow How. I want to warmly welcome Ps. How and his team into our midst! 2 years ago, when Ps. How was here, he taught us a remarkable word on dreams and running with the vision of the church that most of us still remember until today. I believe he has brought with him a great word again this time round. So, I want to encourage you to come to as many services as possible so that you may draw and receive from the man of God. Not only that, I want you to invite all your friends to come to church as well. I am sure they would be greatly blessed too.

And next week, we will be having Bro. John Avanzini with us once again. This is just so exciting to have Bro. John with us just before Asia Conference. Bro. John is a modern day apostle on the subject of Biblical Economics. His teaching is balanced but faith-stretching at the same time. As a church, I want us to learn to give and learn to put our faith in God.

2010 has been great! So, let’s continue to press in and do all we can to make this year our best year yet!

Blessings,

KEV

Hi Church,

Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus!

First and foremost, I want to wish all our mothers a happy and blessed Mother’s Day! Truly, you deserve our love and appreciation for all the hard work and sacrifices that you have put into our lives. For that, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And to express our gratitude, we have prepared a host of programs and gifts for all our mothers this weekend – we have a drama, a song presentation and a gift as well.

However, I do know that not all our mothers are here in Kuala Lumpur therefore, I would like to encourage you to send your mom a gift, give her a call or even write her a letter. I am sure they would be equally happy. As your pastor, I want to teach you the value of filial piety, of how we ought to honor and care for our mother and our father, not just out of duty but out of a sincere heart. This is somewhat basic to us as believers. We cannot neglect our parents or in worst cases, disrespect them. I know we may not be able to agree with everything that our parents say or do, but that does not give us the right to go against them. Do not speak to them loudly. Do not raise your voice towards them. We need to have patience when we talk to them. Give them space to express themselves. They are not young anymore, so find more ways to show that you care. Pray for them. Take them away for holidays. Buy them good and healthy food.

Church, we may be young in age but I do not want us to be immature. I want us to learn to be an honoring generation. I want us to learn to be more responsible and more proactive when it comes to looking after our loved ones. For some of us, our parents are only going to be here with us for just a while more. So while they are still here, why don’t you and I do all we can to tell them that we love them and appreciate them?
This Mother’s Day, let’s do something different.

I know you can.

Hi Church,

Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus!

How are you doing? I know many of you must still be talking about what you learnt from Ps. Pat Mesiti last weekend. Was he good or what? Exposing all our secrets!!! However, I do believe the message had spoken right into your heart. And now, it is your turn to put into practice what you have learnt. It is not good enough to just know about the opposite sex if we do not take the first step to be kind and nice to them. Remember, husbands, you are supposed to love your wives and wives, you are supposed to respect your husbands. Once we get this fundamental right, I am sure the relationship is going to be fun and fulfilling.

On another note, we achieved another breakthrough attendance last weekend with 1950 people coming to church! Hallelujah! Over the last couple of weeks, ever since we started our prayer groups, the LORD has been working tremendously among our midst. Many new friends re-dedicated their lives back to Jesus, and that saw our church grew from strength to strength. Back in March, our attendance was only around 1420 people. But right now, we are able to hit around 1600! Amen! I pray we will be able to stabilize between 1650 and 1700 come end of May. This is our target and let’s pray along this line.

Besides that, I also want to encourage you to pray. Join a prayer group somewhere near your house. Spend time with one another in the presence of God. Sometimes life can be so busy that we lose focus of God. This prayer group is very important as it helps us to reorganize and regroup our life. Remember, it is when we pray that we move the hands of God. It is when we pray that lives are changed and transformed. Church, there can be many things that we are good at. But really, my desire is that we are good in praying. So, don’t procrastinate anymore. This coming week, find a prayer group near you and begin to pray.

Remember, the biggest ‘if’ in prayer is if you will pray...

Walking with you,

KEV
