Dear Church,

Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!

Hi! How are you doing? I pray that you are blessed and well as you seek to serve God in all that you do. My family and I are well, though busy and tired at times.

So what have I been busy with? Of late, not just myself, but my entire office is busy with the construction of our new church building. There is just so much to do, so many decisions to make and so many designs and drawings to look into. We have to coordinate with the different contractors and make sure that they are doing the right thing. Apart from that, we also have to make a lot of technical decisions like how big the screen ought to be, what kinds of microphones to be used and also on the fire fighting system. It has been a very steep learning curve for all of us as we have never done this before. And this is only the construction phase. We still have the aesthetic part of the building to work on, like what furniture to be used, what kind of lighting, finishing and a host of other stuff! PHEW! The list is endless! But I am truly honored to have such a great team working with me. Though tough, they have made the journey more fun and enjoyable! Thanks guys!

Apart from this, I have also been very busy writing our church’s 10th anniversary book. I have spent hours digging into the history of our church and spent even more hours writing them. It has been a very tedious process but worthwhile nonetheless.

And as I look back at the past decade, I have just so much to be thankful for. I want to thank all of you; my leaders and members for being who you are, giving the best years of your life to God and making this journey such an unbelievable ride!

I owe it to God and you for this opportunity to shape our generation!

Love you guys heaps!

Dear Church,

Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus!

WOW! I am sure all of us have had an awesome week, especially last weekend with Bro. John Avanzini. He is indeed a prophet. He taught the Word of God so clearly and at the end of his sermon, the power of God was just so strong that all of us have had an increased measure of faith. I was challenged. I increased my pledge many times more. But I believe as we learn to stretch our faith, God will see to it that our lives continue to grow from strength to strength and from glory to glory. As your pastor, I am so proud of you. I am so inspired by your sacrifice and your commitment. Let’s pray that God will continue to increase us as we strive to build His house and do His work here on earth.

This week, I would like to share with you a little update on our church building. In about 3 months’ time, our new church building will be completed. Let’s pray for the safety and efficiency of all the workers as they are doing a great work unto the LORD. After that, we will need another month or so to test and commission all the equipment. This will take some time as we make sure that everything is working properly. At this point of time, we are hoping to have our first service at the end of July! WOO HOO! It will be a celebration of God’s goodness and faithfulness after 7 years of Arise and Build since we moved to our current building. The journey has been one challenging one, but faith-filled nonetheless. Amen!

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your unceasing support and love for the house of God. Many of you have given your savings, postponed your holidays, chose to live with less and a lot more... but I pray that God will continue to increase and multiply you. I pray that He will continually use us as a vessel to bring forth His glory and His saving grace.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart,

KEV

Dear family and friends,

Welcome back to church once again! It is simply wonderful to see all of you come in droves to worship God this weekend! I trust that your week has been good.

First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Dr. Peter J. Daniels and his lovely wife, Robina into our midst. It is truly our privilege and honor to have such an amazing man of God to come and speak into our lives. I believe all of you would be blessed beyond your imaginations. Therefore, do come prepared, come expectant to receive fresh revelations from God that may shape you into Christ-likeness.

On another note, I would like to thank all of you for working so hard last weekend during all our Easter services! All of you leaders, members and crews were just simply amazing! Well done, guys! So proud to have you in the team! More than 3000 people came to church but more importantly 121 people gave their hearts and rededicate their lives back to Jesus! Hallelujah!

And now that the services are over, the real work has just begun. I do not want us to just have very good services and powerful altar calls... but rather, I want our church to have a very strong and large heart to reach out and disciple all our new friends. It is good to see our friends coming to Christ but that is not enough. We want them to remain faithful to Him. We want to see them grow in their walk with God. So, may I encourage you to be a friend to them to kick-start this journey of faith with them.

Lastly, I also want to thank all of you for your understanding during those super sardine-packed services. I am sorry that some of you could not come into the church. I hope that this problem will be solved when we move into our new building in July. Thank you once again... for your love, dedication and understanding.
Humbled by your generosity,

KEV
