We exchanged notes. I just met him for the first time. And I was so interested to know what God is doing in his ministry. “Our vision and mission is to bring the church to the people,” he grinned, ” And, not the other way around.” His wide smile, I believed, mirrored how big hearted he was. [...] Amid all the pre-World Cup speculation, few people predicted that Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo would all be watching the semi-finals from the comfort of their homes or holiday retreats. With three Ballons d’Or between them (only Rooney has not won one) and a combined total of 121 goals scored for their [...] What are the reasons for a blessed camp? I believe they are: 1. Prayer camp that preceded it. The Prayers of God’s people must have made a big difference. It must be. Prayer works. And I can heartily testify to that in this camp. I see a spirituality that cannot be manufactured. God did it. [...] As a result of the camp, I felt I had more needs than when I headed for camp. Initially, I thought of the camp as an “Extra”. It’s a good to have, not so much a “must have”. But after the camp, I was humbled. I was made to see my need even more. The [...] What a fanta-bulous camp! Wished all of you were there. God met with us, and I felt this was a special camp. I say so because there was a 1. Great Spirit. There was so much joy, peace and love. It was not superficial or man-made. It was deep and heartfelt. And as you know, [...] Is the church of today following suit like the World Cup? It’s not a good sign if you feel the church of today is.

In fact, Christ [...] This enforced moving out of 190 Dunearn Road has caused us to think. Is church about coming for sunday services alone? If we have no place for congregational worship like we had before, is it over for GLCC? What is church? Is it always about mega scale meetings? As we look at scripture, we will [...] As written before, we will be moving out of 190 Dunearn Road soon. We are thankful to God that He is in control. For more than 20 years, God has always provided for GLCC. We were a nomadic church, moving from one place to another especially in our early years. And God has ALWAYS provided. [...] We have been privileged to have conducted our worship services at 190 Dunearn Road over the past 6 years. It is God’s blessed provisions. We have just been informed by the school though, that we have to move out in 2 months’ time. Initially, it was a shock- a rather unpleasant one- to me. But [...] Ordination of Pastor Ian Toh We are thankful to God for Pastor-in-Training Ian Toh. Subject to the Ordination Council on 5 June 2010, he will be ordained as Pastor (Youth / Worship) of GLCC on 6 June 2010 in our 2nd English Service. I am really happy to be part of Ian’s ordination on 6 June. It is a [...] |
