Happy decade in CHC

Still remember the first time I stepped into City Harvest Sunday Service at the old Hollywood Theatre.. Oh my.. The presence of God was so strong and tangible.. Tears welled up my eyes as I sang the worship song.. I could hear God speaking to me so clearly "Welcome back Jack.. I have never left you.. I have always loved you.." I broke down and cried continuously..

Just a week ago, I was praying to God to direct me to the right church.. I have not been attending church regularly and was asking God for the right direction in my life after army.. Then a few days later, my good friend Victor Tan gave me a call to invite me to City Harvest Church sunday service. Wow! God answered my prayers so quickly and I immediately said yes! Together with our other JC good friend, Justin, we went to this wonderful church and gave our hearts to Jesus! From that day onwards, our lives were never be the same again!

Since young, I used to be very fearful and had low self-esteem of myself. Very often, I kept to myself and seldom open up to others. But God slowly changed me and I became more confident and joyful! God gave me a simple vision in my life - to help people and bring joy to others! So I began to serve in my cellgroup & ministry and use my God given talents to serve God and His people! I even went to the Bible School in 2006 and spent one year to study the Word of God! Currently, I am happily serving in First Hand ministry, helping the terminally-ill patients and bringing hope & joy to their lives! Justin and Victor are both cellgroup leaders now!

As I looked back to the 10 years in CHC, there are many ups and downs in my life. Life was never easy as a Christian. But thank God for CHC, I always feel loved and encouraged in this wonderful spiritual family! It is in this church that I feel God is so real in my life! Despite all the negative media reports and the probe surrounding our church, I am always grateful to CHC pastors and leaders for building such a great spiritual family! Most of all, I thank God for calling me back and planting me in this wonderful church in June 2000. Justin and Victor, Happy 10th year anniversary in CHC and many more years to come.. I love you two always! xoxo

God our deliverer

This week has been a turbulent week for us! Newspapers, TV, internet all wrote about City Harvest Church. Initially, I was quite disturbed and provoked about it. But after praying, believe God is still in control of this situation and will not leave His children alone! God has done a great work in our lives after Asian Conference, while on the other side, they are afraid of us. So they decided to distract and maybe try to tear us apart.

Well, God is moulding us together and pure gold will emerge in fire! (trials and tribulations) Believe God will vindicate us and justice will prevail. In the mean time, we will pray like never before, intercede for our church ceaselessly and stay united as one! Jia you! God will deliver us and defeat our enemies in Jesus powerful name!
