Editor’s Note
“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” Joseph Campbell
201 6 marks a new
phase for Re-Imagine
as a publication which
encompasses testimonies
of faith from His Sanctuary
of Glory (HSG) and
HSG Global Ministries.
You wil l f ind, as you
read through our pages,
stories of inspiration ,
hope and faith towards
how God is able to
move in extraordinary
lengths in the lives of
men and women.
This year’s theme “Awakening
to God’s Purpose” speaks
about how we are able to
be the positive change we
wish to see in the world.
God’s intended purpose for
us is found in His written
word, the Bible, where we
are able to find our identity
and receive revelation that
we are bigger than how we
see ourselves. My hope is
that you will be inspired and
motivated by the stories
of faith and awaken to the
realization to how God views
you and of God’s love.
With that, I would like to
thank and appreciate the
entire Re-Imagine Team
who have dedicatedly put
together the stories and
articles of the inspiring
people who took action in
their community to bring
about light in the world.
“For I know the plans I
have for you,” declares
the LORD, “plans to
prosper you and not
to harm you, plans to
give you hope and a
future” Jeremiah 29:11

Awaken To god’s Purpose In Our Lives
03
Should we as a church, together every one of us be awakened to look beyond ourselves?
During the last mission trip
to the Philippines, The Holy
Spirit opened my eyes to see
that our involvement and
investment in that nation for
the last 20 years has certainly
made a tremendous impact.
When we first started, most
of the pastors did not even
have a decent pay. Whereas
today, every one of them has
their own family, a home to
call their own and they can
even afford to own a car!
Everything has changed.
Most of our churches there
now have their own buildings
and our pastors have also
been financially strengthened.
Praise God for His marvelous
grace and empowerment!
And when I looked at the
rest of the countries within
our HSG Global Ministries
and the people within our
local church, the same
phenomenon is seen. The
Spirit-driven message of
spiritual restoration and
economic empowerment
has indeed changed so
many lives. Truly it is not
by might, not by power,
but by the Spirit of God.
In 2016, God wants to awaken
us to His power that is within
and already at work in each

one of us! God has never
called the Church to just
hold the ground, but rather,
to be advancing. We are
called to both defend, hold
the ground and also to break
forth and gain grounds. The
Church’s great strength of
perseverance, trust and faith
in the Lord should not be
merely a ‘just hang in there’
kind of action. The times of
perseverance and holding on
to faith are actually preparing
us for a future awakening
and season!
In winter, the whole world
seems to go to sleep. The
weather is cold, the ground
04
is hard and trees and plants
just seem to fall ‘asleep’
to tolerate the harsh
conditions. But deep down in
the soil, within the cells of the
plant life forces are at work
preparing to break out when
Spring arrives. As I reflected
upon all this, the Lord began
to speak to me through
the book of Zechariah that
spring has come! Spring is
a season of renewal—trees,
plants and animals revive as
the warmth and brightness
brings life back to the world.
Everything comes alive
again! The wintery years
of persevering, holding on
to faith and hope have
prepared our character,
fortitude and spirit for
this dawn of Spring. This
Spring time is about being
awakened again to God’s
calling and purpose.
There is a very distinct
calling that God has given
to us to go to the nations of
the world. He has promised
that wherever we go, He
will release the treasures
of the nations. We are not
to be just another church
but to be His Sanctuary of
Glory. God wants to open
our eyes to see that He is
empowering us spiritually
and economically to be
better partners with Him
in this calling.

able to preach, pray, sing and
cast out demons. This is just
so cliché and in fact, a wrong
thinking, altogether.
It is very unlikely that
your purpose is totally
unconnected to the things
you can do every day. In
fact, your experiences,
trainings and gifts are all you
need to serve God and fulfill
your purpose. All you need
to do is to make a parallel
connection to the eternal
Kingdom of God.
God wants to awaken us
to the potential and the
resources that we don’t see
in ourselves. He wants to
awaken us to realize our true
identity in Him. He wants us
to realize that because His
power is within us, we can
be better than what we think
we are. He is working in and
through us.
Open your eyes to see
that you are much bigger,
stronger and more capable
All we need to do is come out of the stereotype thinking that in order to serve god, we must be able to preach, pray, sing and cast out demons!
Together as a church,
we need to look beyond
ourselves, be united and
move forward towards the
purpose of our calling which
is to release the treasures of
the nations. When each of
us decides to avail ourselves
to fit into this bigger picture
of God’s plan, we will
accomplish more than what
we have accomplished in the
last 20 years.
So how do we work this
out? God is not asking us
to come out of our current
daily routine to serve Him.
Rather, to serve Him in
the daily routine of our
lives. Everything we do
has a connection to the
Kingdom of God because
His Kingdom is inside of us.
In your office, in your house,
you are His Sanctuary of
Glory. We don’t have to
stop what we are doing to
get into God’s purpose. His
purpose is already in motion,
right where we are; we just
need to go with the flow.
Let’s break free of the old
stereotype and start opening
up new possibilities! The
opportunities to step into our
purpose are everywhere.
The problem is that we
have allowed ourselves to
be conditioned to think that
serving God and the purpose
of God is all wrapped around
what we call, ‘ministry’. And
‘ministry’ means preaching,
singing, children’s ministry,
youth ministry, etc. That in
order to serve, we must be

than what you see in yourself.
You already have what it
takes to take the next step
and answer His call to reach
out to the nations.
Let us step out of our
insecurities, doubts and fears—
things that hold us back.
God has already prepared us
with His grace and anointing.
He has already equipped us
through our life experiences.
Even when we never saw
any good reason why we
had to go through certain
circumstances, He already
foresaw that it would prepare
us for what He has planned.
God is already moving.
Spring time is not just a
dream; it is God’s master plan
for the whole world. Now is
the time for us to awaken
from our slumber, because
God has a purpose for each
and every one of us!
Every day, everything we do, that’s the purpose of god.

Our Confidence In ChristBy Pastor Deborah Ong
AN ANCHOR AmIdST THE STORm
We need to realize God’s
purpose and who we are in
Christ. This can be an anchor
for our soul during the
stormy times of life. During a
storm, everything is tossed
about and emotionally, we
can be like a ship in stormy
seas, swept away, damaged
and destroyed. However if
Awakening to God’s
purpose is a very important
call to us, especially in the
21st century. Jesus said the
cares of this world can be
too much for one to carry…
And it is so true, given
the stress, perplexities
and challenges that we
face in life.
There are many things in life
that are so overwhelming
that we can forget so easily
that there is something
bigger to live for.
08
we know our purpose, I mean
really know (not just a quote),
then it becomes an anchor
inside us. It keeps us stable
and keeps us from drowning
from the stress. It becomes
our peace and hope. And
we can be confident that the
storm will pass.
This church is not just
about spiritual restoration,
but also about economic
empowerment. We
encourage our people to
look at their own hands and
pray, “God enable me, give
me peace and wisdom. With
these hands I am able to
earn for my family. If I want
something, I will work for it.
I will do something about
it.” When God becomes the
center, we are assured that
He will bring everything
into place.
IdENTITY IN CHRIST
There is a very important
reason why every person
needs to awaken to who
God made them to be—
for when you find your
identity in Christ, you will
find your purpose.
Most people struggle with
thoughts of inadequacy. It

09
is a natural inclination for
many of us. We think we are
not good enough and we
begin to compare ourselves.
However, when we find Christ
(we are growing in knowing
and discovering Him), we will
find our worth in God.
We would then be able to
say, “In Christ, I know that
He is good enough. And His
strength is made perfect in
my weakness. Maybe I don’t
know how to get there and
maybe my ways have not
worked out, but God’s ways
are higher than mine. And
with the Greater One in
me, I can be better!”
‘But he said to me, “my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.’ 2 Corinthians 12:9 “… because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4
10
The more you believe
about your new identity,
there will be less thoughts
of “I don’t think I can… I
am not capable.” Instead,
you will begin to say, “I can
forgive. I can do this. I can
change. I will have a better
day tomorrow.” We need
to realize that God has not
made us for a small life
but a full life filled with His
goodness and blessings.
Every Christian has a higher
call, a higher cause for living
and the reality is life throws
so many things at us that
can draw us away and
derail us from our Christ-
called cause for living. There
is so much that we can
contribute. Not just to the
church, but also to humanity.
If we do not realize this, and
we do not understand the
value of who we are, there’s
going to be a great loss in
our life which will affect all
areas of living (family life,
working life, etc.).
BIBLICAL EqUALITYThis awakening to who we
are and to our purpose has
a very strong connection
to women in the church.
11
TURN TO PAgE 28 TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ATTACH CONFIdENCE TO YOUR PASSION
Pastor Daniel and I
strongly believe in biblical
equality of men and
women. We respect each
other’s individuality and
we respect each other’s
strengths and opinions
on many things, though
we may differ. We learn
to agree to disagree. And
we learn to submit to one
another. We don’t have
to push our way in. You
can be a change factor
without being a reactive
factor. We can be strong
and yet we do not need
to be offensive. Respect
and love is the key in
biblical equality.
AgENT OF CHANgEWe must never ever
forget our call in life to be
the salt and the light as
a church. We live for the
cause of spreading God’s
love, the good news to tell
people that, “Hey, there’s
a Heavenly Father we can
come home to.”
Lastly, never ever detour
from your identity—who
you are in Christ. Continue
to pursue to know and
understand God. Keep
that personal relationship
strong because the more
we know God, the more
we discover ourselves. We
are then able to live life
well and be a blessing.

Purpose In OurCommunityBy Joseph Ng
13
It is not simply an awakening for the sake of being awake—there is a purpose to which we are called, a reason to be awake and alive and active in this world.
Picture yourself as a typical
Galilean—a tradesman,
perhaps; maybe a
housewife—awakening
one day to a growing
commotion. The teacher is
here, they say, the one they
call Jesus. He is going up the
mountain and everyone is
following to hear Him teach.
You have already made
plans for the day, but you
know the opportunity of a
lifetime when you see one.
You drop everything and
follow the crowd streaming
out and away from town,
through the green wind-
swept plains of Galilee
and up rocky slopes. He
is already teaching when
you arrive; and as you
settle down, you hear the
beginning of a sermon.
“You are the light of the
world—like a city on a
hilltop that cannot be
hidden… a lamp is placed
on a stand, where it gives
light to everyone in the
house. In the same way,
let your good deeds shine
out for all to see, so that
everyone will praise your
heavenly Father.”
Matthew 5:13–16
The power behind
Awakening to Purpose
hinges upon the last word
in the phrase. It is not
simply an awakening for the
sake of being awake—there
is a purpose to which we
are called, a reason to be
awake and alive and active
in this world.
When questioned by a
teacher of religious law
on the most important
commandment, Jesus
answered “Love your
neighbor as yourself.”
It is a commandment that
demands the awakening of
one to his or her purpose.
Otherwise, what utility
can there be found in this
unconditional love we are
called to give?
This is the kind of awakening
that we see rippling across
the consciousness of
our congregation. From
contributing money
and food to homes for
the underprivileged on
the Carecell level and
participating in projects
to feed the homeless on
the personal level, we are
witnessing an increasing
awareness of the purpose

to which God has called us:
to be the salt and light of
the world; to demonstrate
the love of God to our fellow
human beings; to be the
Jesus this world can see.
Among our church’s efforts
to contribute in meaningful
ways to our community,
the event that time and time
again draws in the crowds
is our blood donation
drive. People gather from
all around both to receive
health checkups and to
donate blood to save and
improve lives.
Far from the weary,
burdened looks one might
expect from people who
are giving away a part of
themselves, there are smiles
all around and laughter
amidst the general chatter
as we gather to make a
collective difference for the
greater good. But we can’t
mention smiles and laughter
without also mentioning our
Community Charity Carnival
& Bazaar that was held
during Christmas.
A joint effort between
HSGKL and seven non-
profit organizations, the
event saw a massive
turnout as people from
all walks of life gathered
for food, fun games and
entertainment. Starting
at 11AM and going on for
the better part of the day,
not even a mid-afternoon
torrential downpour could
dampen the crowd’s spirits.
For the children, pony rides
and turns going down the
giant slide were had while
representatives from the
non-profit organizations
shed light on what they do
and the impact they have in
society. The total proceeds
totaled over RM40,000
($10,000 USD), which will no
doubt be put to good use in
the service of human lives.
What does this all mean to
us? Are we to congratulate
ourselves for our exemplary
behavior, give each other a
pat on the back? Far from
it—we are more concerned
about being molded into the
image of God and living out
the commandment of Christ
as we awaken to the purpose
we have in our community.
When we run this race for
the least of these, as the
old gospel tune goes, we
are letting our little light
shine. And in the words of
St. Francis of Assisi: “All
the darkness in the world
cannot extinguish the light
of a single candle.”
Picture yourself again as the
Galilean, sitting upon a soft
patch of grass in a setting
not unlike the one at the
beginning of this writing.
The one they call the Christ
is teaching again, and as you
consider the parable of the
sheep and goats, you hear
Him say:
“…I was hungry, and you
fed me. I was thirsty, and
you gave me a drink. I was
a stranger, and you invited
me into your home. I was
naked, and you gave me
clothing. I was sick, and
you cared for me. I was in
prison, and you visited me.
Then these righteous ones
will reply, ‘Lord, when did
we ever see you hungry
and feed you? Or thirsty
and give you something
to drink? Or a stranger
and show you hospitality?
Or naked and give you
clothing? When did we ever
see you sick or in prison
and visit you?
And the King will say,
‘I tell you the truth, when
you did it to one of the
least of these my brothers
and sisters, you were
doing it to me!’”

Psalm 145:18 “The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.”
On November 2015, The
Church of England produced
a 60 second commercial to
encourage people to pray
more. It simply contained
The Lord’s Prayer spoken
by people from all walks
of life. Yet, despite getting
clearance from advertising
authorities, disputers
successfully banned
the commercial f rom
screening because they
believe that it carries
the risk of upsetting or
offending audiences.
When I read about that
news, it got me to revisit
The Lord’s Prayer myself.
And I rediscovered that
The Lord’s Prayer is in
fact, truly powerful. Why?
Because it shapes the lives
of families, communities
and entire societies by
instilling timeless values that
steer us away from being
overwhelmed; especially
in today’s consumer
culture. Advertising
sells consumerism,
while The Lord’s Prayer
encourages contribution.
Let me briefly share with
you the 7 Power Points
I found in the words of
The Lord’s Prayer.
7 PowerPoints Fromthe Lord’sPrayerBy Pastor Deborah Ong
17
#01OUR FATHER IN HEAvEN, HALLOWEd BE YOUR NAmE
This power prayer point
gives us an identity and
a place in the world. It
opposes the idea that we are
formed by random specks
of matter, that we are merely
an intelligent species in
the animal kingdom. God
said in Genesis 1:26, “Let us
make man in our image and
likeness.” We are wonderfully
and equally created in the
image of—and deeply loved
by—our heavenly Father. The
existence of a Father also
reinforces the existence of
a family—the church. In this
family, as children of God,
we are nurtured to succeed
and encouraged to become
agents of change.
#02YOUR KINgdOm COmE. YOUR WILL BE dONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAvEN
We are given courage to
live in an imperfect world as
we represent the Kingdom
of God. This world is not as
it was meant to be upon
creation and has been
distorted from its true
purpose. But God is at work
to redeem and transform this
world and to establish His
love and righteousness here.
We are not to retreat from
the world in fear and pain,
but to join in the struggle to
establish His Kingdom and
see justice and peace prevail.
#03gIvE US THIS dAY OUR dAILY BREAd
This prayer teaches us
to live with contentment,
restraining our greed.
Yes, in this church we
believe that God has
blessed us to obtain
wealth so that we can be
a blessing to others. But in
the pursuit of wealth,
we should maintain the
spirit of contentment
and must be watchful
for greed, because the
destruction and ruin of
temptation is very real.
SEE HOW PRAYER BROUgHT A mIRACLE TO INdONESIA ON PAgE 42
18
but we know for sure that
God will never leave us nor
forsake us as He promised
in Deuteronomy 31:6 and
Matthew 28:20. We are
reassured in Romans 8:28
that “for those who love
God all things work
together for good.”
#07FOR YOURS IS THE KINgdOm, THE POWER, ANd THE gLORY, NOW ANd FOREvER. AmEN.
This final power prayer
point in The Lord’s Prayer
tells us that we have a
higher calling and a greater
purpose that surpasses our
small personal desires. It is
an instruction on how to live
this life well. Live it in such
a way where we establish
His Kingdom of peace,
love and righteousness.
Through His power available
to us, we are to live to the
full glory of our Creator.
#04FORgIvE US OF OUR SINS
This acknowledges our
human imperfections and
offers us a pathway to
forgiveness. Romans 3:23
states “for all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of
God.” We have to accept the
reality of sin within us. When
we repent, God is faithful to
forgive our sins and cleanse
us from all unrighteousness.
As people of the Kingdom
of God, we have unending
grace and mercy.
#05AS WE FORgIvE THOSE WHO SIN AgAINST US
In our imperfections, we will
all disappoint and frustrate
one another, as James 3:2
puts it, “We all stumble in
many ways.” However, we
are not meant to live in an
environment of hostility
and strife. Instead, we are
to forgive and be forgiven.
People are not made happy
by having more things
and belongings; that is the
falsehood of consumerism.
True happiness comes
from relationships, and the
key to good relationships
is mutual reconciliation
and forgiveness.
#06LEAd US NOT INTO TEmPTATION BUT dELIvER US FROm EvIL
This prayer point builds
resilience in the human
spirit. We are living in
a world where there is
violence and cancer, where
there are difficulties and
challenges, where we are
tested when things go
wrong for no clear reason.
Yet, we are reminded to be
confident that God’s love,
goodness, and wisdom
will be there to help us
during these moments of
our lives. Faith is not just
for the green pastures,
but also for when we
travel through the deep
dark valleys. We may
not have all the answers,
19
there are less than 100 words in the lord’s prayer, and
it takes less a minute to pray them. it is a simple daily
prayer, but do not underestimate its immense power.
OUR FATHER IN HEAvEN,
HALLOWEd BE YOUR NAmE.
YOUR KINgdOm COmE. YOUR WILL BE
dONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAvEN.
gIvE US THIS dAY OUR dAILY BREAd.
FORgIvE US OF OUR SINS AS WE
FORgIvE THOSE WHO SIN AgAINST US.
LEAd US NOT INTO TEmPTATION
BUT dELIvER US FROm EvIL.
FOR YOURS IS THE KINgdOm,

OUR HEART AS A CHURCH
21
SpiritualRestoration
When a man or woman believes in the cross of Jesus Christ,
the way is opened to them to be reconciled and restored
to their spiritual origin and position. Their faith in Christ
creates a Father-child relationship with God and they now
become a citizen of the Kingdom of God. The believer is
now ‘home’. As a citizen of His Kingdom, they can now
enjoy a life of peace, abundance, productivity, prosperity
and favor with God. Therefore, spirituality is not just some
form or state of being holy but also a valuable and vital
ingredient for successful living. Throughout biblical history,
God has always blessed and provided materially for His
people when they walk in His ways. Today we too can
experience and enjoy the same provision through our faith
and relationship with Jesus Christ.
EconomicEmpowerment
In Christ, we are heirs of the promise given to Abraham and
can now enjoy the provisions of God. Based on 3 John 2,
there is sufficient grace from God to satisfy a person’s
spiritual and material needs when they are reconciled to
Him! The concept of economic empowerment is based on
the undisputable fact that spiritual restoration and material
prosperity are linked. Material and wealth provision is a
consequence of spiritual pursuit not outside of it, for it is God
who gives us the power to create wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18).
The Twin Messages of Spiritual Restoration and Economic
Empowerment are built with this understanding; that
the church is meant to inspire men and women to live
purposeful and abundant lives—centered upon the promise
given to those who believe in Jesus.
22
Finding Faith After I gave my heart to
Jesus, I felt that I was grounded and secured in everything I do. I somehow know that there is somebody guiding me through the journey of life and taking interest in everything I do.
I got saved a few years
ago in a camp organised
by His Sanctuary of Glory
Penang where Pastor
Daniel Cheah was the
speaker. I remember the
person who invited me to
go for this camp describing
the church as a family.
I had never heard ‘church’
described that way before.
Fascinated, I decided to
go, even though at that
time I was studying in
Kampar, Perak and that
would require me to go
all the way to Penang.
That was one of the best
and most important
decisions I have ever
made. Although I was only
there for a day because
I had to rush back for
classes, the people there
genuinely welcomed me
with open arms and the
warmth that they showed
towards me was so real.
To top it off, the best thing
that happened was when
I made the decision to
accept Jesus Christ as my
Lord and Saviour, which led
to Pastor Daniel praying for
me and leading me to invite
Jesus into my life. I felt such
great peace during the
prayer. It was one of the
happiest days of my life.
Ever since I gave my heart
to Jesus, I feel grounded
and secured in everything
I do. I somehow know
that there is somebody
guiding me through the
journey of life and taking
interest in everything I do.
It is so different from my
perspective on life and
religion before I met Jesus
and attending church,
where I was dictated
more by fear than faith.
I’ve always had the mind-
set that religion exists to
pinpoint my mistakes and

highlight my flaws, causing
me to be afraid. But being
a Christian is nothing
like that. God is a faithful
God. And I have first-
hand experience of that.
You see, for 3 years, I
stopped coming to church
due to many things that
happened in my life and I
had to move back to my
hometown. I was jobless
for two years, with a wife
and two young children
to take care of. But even
at my darkest and most
challenging moments,
I realised that God was
always there for me. God
would send help my way,
demonstrating His love
and kindness towards me.
Somehow business and
income would miraculously
be there every month to
meet our day to day needs.
After meeting with Celine
Koay and talking about
God, I have decided to
come back to church, only
this time with my entire
family, and it has been
great. I felt the warmth
and excitement once again
when I stepped back into
the church. I was home
once again and that
feeling that I belonged to
a much bigger and caring
family was rekindled. The
church has taught my wife
and I many, many things
about God and how to
walk with Him, and that
has been life changing.
I have more business
opportunities opened
up to me now and I
am beginning to see
more positive changes
happening in my family
and in my life. I am so glad
that my children, through
the church, will be able to
know God intimately at
this young age and that
this will add value to their
lives as they grow older.
What an advantage!
With two children and a lot
of responsibilities, we do
have our challenges coming
to church every week, yet all
of this is nothing compared
to the blessings that we
receive every Sunday when
we come to HSG Penang.
When God makes an
appointment with us, He will
not leave us empty handed.
God is faithful even when
we are not and I believe
there will many greater
adventures in store for all
of us as we follow Him.
Thank you Jesus and His
Sanctuary of Glory for
being there for my family
and me. God bless.
The Lim family.

Our mom works all year
round, every single day,
in our family-owned
restaurant. On a regular
day in April 2014, as she
was working, she suddenly
experienced mild stroke
symptoms. She started
having trouble moving
her lips and blinking.
Our brother, who was
also working at the
restaurant at the time,
noticed her stutter while
she was talking to him.
Suddenly, she fainted
and our brother had to
rush her to the hospital
immediately. When they
arrived, the surgeon refused
to have her admitted
because the chances of her
surviving were less than
20%. It was brain aneurysm.
One after another, surgeons
refused her because of
her critical condition. After
hours of searching, one
surgeon finally sympathized
with us and was willing to
have our mom admitted
to the hospital. But he
told us to be prepared
because our mom may
not survive. And even if
she were to survive, she
would be paralyzed.
We prayed continually and
after six hours of surgery,
we were told that it was
a miraculous success!
However, she had to be
observed for a couple of
days because she might
experience some immobility.
True enough, she woke
up from the surgery
with slurred speech and
One after another, surgeons refused her because of her critical condition.

memory loss. She did not
know where she was and
where she lived. She could
not even recognize her
own children. When we
visited her, she told us that
she met Jesus during her
surgery. Throughout her
time in the hospital, our
siblings and the both of
us visited and prayed for
her every day. One day,
Pastor Amanda visited
her and shared the gospel
with her. Mom got saved
right away in the hospital!
Our mom has since
recovered. She still has an
artery inside her that is
bulging, but the doctor
said that it is not harmful
yet . Now, our mom is
always happy! Recently, she
even went for a Christian
conference for the first
time in her life. Our mom
believes in God’s existence
and love, but she still faces
challenges in her public
declaration of her faith in
Christ. She is from a staunch
Taoist background. Her
father—our grandfather—
and our father are practicing
Taoists . Through our
mom’s healing, our father
is now slowly accepting
her faith in Jesus just
as he acknowledges that
our sister and the both of
us are Christians. In fact,
he is so much more open
now and would even listen
willingly when we share
the gospel with him!
It was definitely a very
tough journey for our mom
and our family, holding
tightly onto hope even
though she only had less
than 20% chance of
survival. She definitely
escaped death by God’s
mercy. Today, whenever
she goes for her check-
ups, the surgeon would
still express his amazement
at her miraculous healing.
We truly believe that God
is always working in
our family. Through
uncertainties, challenges,
both good and bad times,
We believe that He makes
all things work together
for good, in His time.
But he told us to have our hearts prepared because our mom may not survive. And if she were to survive, she would be paralyzed.

Against All Odds
While we are limited in our abilities, remember god is limitless.
My husband Gary and I have
been serving in a children’s
home called City Revival
Home for 3 years. It was
there, in late 2006 when we
first laid eyes on Ivan. We
were forewarned about his
complications but nothing
could prepare us for this.
Though born normal, the
boy was thrown against the
wall by his father who was
under heavy drug influence.
The abuse resulted in
brain damage and partial
paralysis. Life would be
extremely tough for Ivan.
No matter, we clearly felt
God’s calling for us to take
this case so we took Ivan
as our second “son.” In his
initial diagnosis, the surgeon
Sally Lum
FINd OUT WHY WE BELIEvE IN SERvINg THE COmmUNITY ON PAgE 12
TOP: Young Ivan; RIGHT: Therapy session
27
told me that he wouldn’t
be able to walk and that
he would be wheelchair
bound for life. I refused
to believe this because
I believe in God and
not in fate. The surgeon
promised that he would
help where necessary. This
marked the start of many
tests and examinations.
Challenging times would
be ahead of us but we
trusted God for a miracle.
My son stayed home for two
years to help Ivan cope with
a very intense schedule. On
top of medical consultations,
there were various therapies
that Ivan needed to go
through, each with varying
degrees of difficulties. Those
two years turned out to
be extremely crucial. We
discovered more damage
that needed to be corrected.
He had to undergo three
corrective surgeries. The first
was a corrective eye surgery
to realign his eye sight. Later,
we discovered his testicles
were above his pelvic bone
and had to be pulled down.
The last surgery was the
most intensive: six incisions
on three joints of each leg
to straighten them. The
subsequent physiotherapy
became even more painful.
His screams of pain were heartbreaking but we understood this was crucial for his wellbeing.
Members of HSG banded
together and bought a
walker and peddler for this
strong boy to exercise his
legs. Despite these being
perhaps the toughest
years, God really poured
His favor on Ivan. He only
had the best doctors
from each department for
his many consultations
and treatments.
The story of a little boy
saving stranded starfishes
is my favorite inspirational
story. It serves to remind
me that while I can’t help
every person who has a
need, I can do something
for someone whom God
brings along my way.
Today, Ivan is an active
12-year-old. And the most
wondrous miracle is the fact
that Ivan can now walk and
talk like any normal child.
He is able to take care of
himself. And he also enjoys
learning, especially reading
and mathematics. Ivan
represents the epitome of
our passion in social works.
His life is truly a miracle.
His life shows that while
we, as people are limited
in our abilities, we should
always remember that God
is limitless. And when
we would avail ourselves
to Him in meeting the
needs we see around us,
this will allow Him to use
us to make a difference.
Truly Ivan’s story shows
that when we take a small
step of faith, God will bring
us to bigger miracles.

From the country of Nigeria,
Victoria is the eldest in a
family of six siblings. She
is the talented wife to Mr
Daniel Chicka and the proud
mother of 3-year-old ,
Emmanuel Chicka.
Upon graduating with a
Degree in Microbiology
back home, Victoria came to
Malaysia in 2009 to pursue
her second degree. Eight days
after arriving in Malaysia, she
met her husband who then
brought her to HSG.
Initially, she had a Degree
in Nursing in mind, but
God had other plans .
The decision to pursue
a Diploma in IT came
soon after talking to her
friends who encouraged
her to explore the ways
technology is being used in
various businesses today.
She was instantly intrigued
by how technology is
shaping our world and
shaping our future. Now,
she is actively pursuing a
Masters in Technology in
Environment Management.
Coming from a Christian
home, Victoria’s mother
placed her in the church choir
at the tender age of eight.
That was when she discovered her love for music.
She grew up singing in church
choirs and worshipping
God. Her mother was a key
influencer in encouraging
her to grow her talent and
passion for music. She has
not stopped being a part of
God’s ministry in praise and
worship since, and is part of
Destiny Praise in HSG.
Despite her passion for
music, Victoria never
thought of being an artist
because she believed that
being an artist required
a lot more from her than
being just a good singer.
Victoria admits that her
gift is not a great voice,
but a great passion for
the Lord. She finds herself
to be talented in writing
gospel music. In fact, she

She desires to use this moment as a way to share the love of god and to invite people to experience this same love.
has been writing gospel
music for over 15 years
now. However, she has
always kept this to herself.
One day, she met a friend
through Facebook. She
was drawn to connect to a
gospel singer known by the
name Sensational Ify. They
became friends quickly but
Ify did not know that Victoria
could sing. It was not until
Victoria sang in front of
Ify that she immediately
saw great potential in
Victoria and started
encouraging Victoria to
launch her own album.
Victoria has just released
her first gospel album,
Extravagant Love, with 8
song tracks in which she
dedicates her passion
for God. The decision to
launch her first album
was made because of
the encouragement she
received from Ify, her
friends, and the people of
Destiny Praise. This same
decision is motivated by her
desire to use this moment
as a way to share the love
of God and to invite people
to HSG to experience this
same love.
Victoria is often inspired
in church. In fact, she gets
excited every Sunday
morning to hear God’s word
for her life and her song
writing. Whenever she feels
inspired, she would start
writing immediately, even
when it is in the middle of
the night. Victoria explains
that when she feels God’s
Word in her heart, she is
moved by the Holy Spirit to
write a song. Recently, she
managed to write a whole
song in less than an hour
right after a worship session!
Victoria gives God complete
credit for blessing her with
this talent. Victoria’s advice
to all aspiring singers, is that
they should not wait to have
a great voice, but instead
seize every opportunity
they have to work on their
gift. She urges everyone to
have zeal in their pursuits
and trust God to open
doors of opportunities in
their lives.

At first, I was content just growing my business within malaysia, but you could say god had other plans. In 2013, I was empowered by a vision. I felt that god wanted me to go beyond just being a small enterprise.

My company Alpha Excess
sells commercial entrance
matting in Kuala Lumpur.
Prior to star ting my
business in this industry,
I was in real estate.
Our commercial door
mats are aluminium mats,
chair mats for carpet and
wooden flooring, coil
mats and carpet mats
for buildings and offices.
Alpha Excess originally
runs on an online platform
through a website and
began only as an avenue for
side income. I stumbled
upon it while buying
goods from my husband’s
company. The positive
responses I garnered online
really encouraged me
and it eventually led me
to go into this full time.
At first, I was content
just growing my business
within Malaysia, but
you could say God had
better plans for me.
In 2013, I was empowered
by a vision through
Apostle Naomi Dowdy.
I felt that God wanted
me to go beyond just
being a small enterprise.
And true enough, I soon
found that working from
home was not an ideal
situation as I needed a
place to meet clients and
showcase my products.
However, realistic questions
of doubt and fear started
plaguing me about
moving out. I found myself
constantly worrying about
how I would cope with
the added expenses of
expanding by having my
own office. The reason
which lifted me up was
my decision to cast all my
fears and worries unto God
in prayers. I consciously
took a great leap of faith
by simply trusting Him.

32
Then in 2014, I was able to
find a suitable office space,
and doors opened to the
right avenues of finances
and the key resources
which I required. It was an
answered prayer which
further convicted my heart
that God was indeed leading
me in the right direction.
I felt assured and confident
at how amazing things
started to fall into place as
I placed my faith in God at
the center of my business.
In 2015 , there was a
particular high demand for
a product but issues with
the supplier arose. The only
supplier had increased the
price steeply and delivery
lead time and so my supply
line was affected. And again,
I felt a prompting to expand
my business further. My
initial response to the idea
of becoming the supplier
myself was not an immediate
yes as the mountain seemed
too high. I was extremely
hesitant but I felt God’s
prompting to cease my fears
and overcome them. It was
during the Project Barnabas
conference when I heard

congregation to “Let God
take over, and mountains
can come down.” So, I
once again stepped out
with greater faith towards
believing that God was
speaking over my situation.
Natural ly, in every
expansion , f inancial
resources, manpower, and
expertise were key areas
I needed an answer to.
I was alone in this business.
I could neither diversify
nor expand if I worked
alone. There was a clear
answer to my search for
someone with the right
expertise and God brought
in someone with 14 years
of experience in producing
this very same product.
During the period of
waiting, continual project
opportunities with my
growing clientele provided
the answer I was seeking
in the area of financial
resources I required for
further business expansion
into producing this product.
My daughter also came in
to help me at the perfect
time. In her, I found the help
I needed and truly, there
was no one more ideal
than my own daughter.
God astounded me with
answers to these areas the
very moment I said yes
towards taking a greater
step of faith. This experience
of faith has brought my
family closer and made us
stronger. It has certainly
taught me to appreciate
God’s love even more and
being obedient to Him brings
rewards. It showed how
God can truly do wondrous
things through faith as
small as a mustard seed.

Her love for God was so
clearly seen in her love
for people. She treasured
what God treasures,
which led her to see
potential in people that
normally would be so
easily brushed off.
By her own humble
admission, she was a simple
person that loved her God,
her family and her church.
Positive Pat, as she liked
to introduce herself, was
not just a cute moniker
but an unwavering and
courageous positioned for
her own life and others.
Her investment and labour
of love towards others came
from a place of relentless
faith. “Inspiring”, “Caring”,
“Warm”, “Generous”,
“Strong”, “Kind”, “Godly”
and “Friendly” are among
the words commonly used
by her friends and family
to describe our Pastor Pat.
More appropriately these are
more than just adjectives but
simple seeds that she has
sown in each every one of us.
Her passion still echoes
through our hearts .
Sometimes it seems like you
can still hear her cheering
us on as she did when she
was still physically with us.
For that, a lot of us can say
these words… “Thank you
for giving to the Lord… I am
a life that was changed.”
Thank you, Pastor Pat.

“You are a man of war. As

you to the nations of the
world. And where you go,
I will release the treasures

prophetic word given by the
Holy Spirit to Pastor Daniel

What began in 1994 was
the start of a small fire, a
rekindling of spirits for a
church that was emerging
from a turbulent transition.
Led by the Holy Spirit and
the presence of God,
this vision became the
cornerstone of HSG Global

we grew in size and reach.
As we continue to fulfil the

I am Pastor Benny from
Indonesia. I am really
grateful for the God-given
opportunity to meet Pastor
Deborah and to learn how
to expand our church here.
We have had a few struggles
back home. Our church
that we built had to be
closed down and thus we
could not use our premises
for church services. But
that didn’t stop us from
worshipping Him. For 2
years, we had our services
from house to house every
week. Many members
have left us since.
However, we are not
disheartened because we still
experience God and His works.
We know that the church is
made of people, not a building.
I see my church members
encouraging each other in
their respective Carecells.
Once, a church member had
severe backbone problems
that were causing her a lot
of pain. The doctor said
that she needed to undergo
an operation. It was very
expensive and she definitely
could not afford it. When she
shared the news with us,
we all started praying for her

and believing for healing.
We visited her regularly.
One day, she was just
healed miraculously! She did
not feel any pain anymore.
We called for the doctor
and even he said that
it’s a miraculous healing;
extraordinary!
Upon healing, she shared her
testimony with a friend who
had backbone problems
too. After hearing of it, I
encouraged her to pray
for her friend as we did for
her. And then her friend
was also healed! Naturally,
their friends were curious
and started asking about
their miraculous healings.
Through sharing their
testimonies, they shared
about God’s love too.
god’s amazing works in our lives spur us on as a church.
I believe for a breakthrough.
Before I left for Kuala
Lumpur, the district
head had signed for the
approval of my request to
have a church building of
our own. Now, we are just
waiting for the confirmation.
I believe that those who
left us and even those
who persecuted us would
eventually come back
and worship God with us
because God’s love always
wins. I believe for us to step
up to the next level. I believe
that He will continue with his
miraculous works and help
us rise as a church. I will
spread the good news to
inspire our outreach pastors.
As God has blessed me, he
will surely bless them too.

A lot of people are unaware

evangelism is illegal in our

are also prohibited. Because
of this, when we share the

Despite the risks and
adversities we face, God
is with us and His Spirit is
moving through country.
Recently, one of our church
members who has relatives
in the Mekong Delta region
invited my church worker
to his village to share the
gospel. He stayed there for
about 2 weeks sharing the
gospel with them and upon
accepting the Lord, they
formed a Carecell group
there. This young group
of believers continued
to have ‘Carecell group
meetings’ with praise
and worship and bible
study in their homes.
After just six months, their
friends and neighbours
accepted Christ and
the Carecell grew. What
started out as just 3-4
people grew very rapidly
to almost 20 people.
In Vietnam, when we
reach this number, it’s
very significant and we
proclaim it a church.
Their leader then invited me
to a ceremony where we
worshipped God with praise
and worship songs and had
great fellowship. This in our
way, made them officially
a part of our ‘church’.
Now, their leader comes
to Ho Chi Min city every
month to receive training
with all the other leaders.
All glory to our Lord!

challenging us to obey His
Word. He has shown us all
things are made possible
through Him. We have
witnessed His hand move
from the biggest down to
the smallest of ways in the
expansion of our ministry.
Last year, we took a leap of
faith to purchase the vacant
lot next to our church. We
started to work together
in raising the funds for the
lot; from young high school
The HSG Philippines family
47
pesos (approximately
RM18,600). Upon discussion
and praying over the issue,
my leaders and I decided to
install the air conditioners
by faith. We made the
announcement in church
that Sunday morning
itself. I could feel the
atmosphere of uncertainty
as we were sti l l in the
midst of paying for the lot.
However, we kept our faith
in God. And in February
2016, our hall became
fully air conditioned!
When we choose to obey
God, He will show His
great providence in ways
we cannot comprehend.
Recently, a brother who
visits us occasionally told
me that he can see that we
as a church are listening to
what God is telling us to
do. This is because each
time he visits our church, he
would see improvements
from his previous visit .
When he left, he blessed
the church with USD1,000,
eas ing our f i nanc ia l
burdens tremendously.
It helped open our eyes
to see and understand
the rewards of obeying
God’s word even more.
With the implementation
of the Carecell System in
our church, we are able to
strengthen our leadership
base and embrace God’s
vision through igniting
our passion to reach out
to people. Our leaders
and congregation are
renewed in our excitement
to reach out to people
and grow them into being
leaders themselves.
We are praying and
believing in God’s grace
for us as we reach out to
people. There are still many
out there who need Christ
in their lives and I believe
that God has sent us to
share His love with them.
My deepest prayer is to
for us to align ourselves to
God’s calling and purpose
to our lives as we continue
to seek and honour Him.

Our Leaders Of Tomorrow
They motivate me to do more, as I am not alone in recognizing that there is still much work to do in the Kingdom.
Being the hope of
our nation, I view our
youth ministry as a vital
component of our church.
Despite the high demands
on their time, be it for
their studies or for their
family the youths never
fail to also set aside time
for God’s work. Week in,
week out, our three youth
Carecells continue to serve
in church as well as in our
many community projects.
They organize their own
prayer meetings, proactively
share the good news and
invite their less fortunate
peers to our weekly
feeding programs.
While I continue to be
inspired by their lives, I also
recognize the need to also
minister to them and grow

their lives. This culminated
in our youth camp which is a
major event for all of them.
Conducted once or twice
every year, our 3 day camps
aim to refresh and recharge
our entire youth force. From
exciting games to restorative
devotion times and vibrant
spirit-fuelled praise and
worship sessions, God’s
presence is there ministering
to every one of them.
I thank God for such
a passionate group of
people. They motivate me
to do more, as I am not
alone in recognizing that
there is still much work
to do in the Kingdom.
We partner with local
schools and conduct and
anti-drug seminars, opening
up yet another avenue to
reach out to this generation.
Every Sunday, we conduct our feeding program in conjunction with our services. Children from our
neighbourhood and
surrounding remote areas
are invited to enjoy meals
provided by our church
members. Over time, the
parents of these children,
touched by our works,
also grew connected to us,
and in turn, found God’s
love and salvation through
Christ. By meeting the
needs of the community, we
open up new doors to reach
hearts and share the gospel.
When a typhoon hit our
region, we responded by
expanding this feeding
program to the afflicted
areas, and even helped
with rebuilding works. By
continuing to shine God’s
love, our lives become the
epitome of Galatians 6:9
“So let us not grow weary
of doing good, for in
due season we will reap
a harvest of blessing
if we don’t give up.”
One day, this generation of
youth will be my successors,
and I cannot wait to see
what God can do through
their able and willing hands!
gET TO KNOW OUR YOUTH LEAdERS ACROSS THE WORLd ON PAgE 64
Youth Valentine’s Day event
Breaking BarriersWe see now that sometimes when god takes something away from us, it is so He can replace it with something far greater.
CARECELLS IN ACTIONWe were going through
a bit of a difficult period
with our Carecells, as some
of our leaders had left for
personal reasons. We were
quite discouraged, but there
wasn’t much we could do
about it. However, God is
good and sometimes when
people leave, it is because
God wants to bring in
someone new. What we
didn’t realize was that God
had already prepared the
next level of leaders to take
over. They immediately
stepped up and said “We
are ready!” Here’s the best
part—they were all women!
Now, in India, this is a
huge deal because in
order for a woman to
lead anything it requires
tremendous commitment,
time and sacrifice.
We are in Punjab where
the education level is low,
especially for the women.
Here, it is a woman’s
responsibility to cook 3
meals a day. Plus, they
have to clean and care
for the children as well
as the husband. Some of
their husbands are not
even saved, so the wives
have to work extra hard!
But these women were
somehow willing to sacrifice
their time and energy and
amazingly pull it off.
Another reason why it is
such a massive thing for
these ladies to step up is our
location. We are located on
the outskirts of town and
it can take 45 minutes to
reach our house for some of
these ladies. That’s another
45 minutes journey home.
In our part of the world, it
gets dark rather quickly,
especially in winter. So,
travelling after dark for a
lady can be risky. This did
not deter them; instead, they
pooled their money and
hired a cab, which also sends
them home. We truly thank
God for men and women
like these who say “Come
what may, I’m not going to
stop doing God’s work!”
We see now that sometimes
when God takes something
away from us, it is so He can
replace it with something
far greater. What God has
accomplished through us
has set a new trend for
By Pastor Samuel & Sanchita from Punjab, India

other churches to follow.
Other pastors are now also
keen to implement the
Carecell system in their
churches as they see that
it brings tremendous life,
growth and value to the
church. And, it is our joy
to share all we know and
teach others to implement
the Carecell system so they
too may experience the
fullness of Christ.
PRAISE & WORSHIP IN 3 LANgUAgES!
During last year’s Project
Barnabas, some of the
songs that were sung had
such beautiful lyrics that I
wanted so much to introduce
them to our congregation.
There was just one problem
—translation—because
sometimes, translation
is just not possible.
How could we teach an
English song to people
who only speak Hindi and
Punjabi? There are a handful
of people in our congregation
who understand English
but the rest wouldn’t
be able to understand a
single word! Nevertheless,
we decided to take a step
of faith and introduced the
songs in English anyway,
come what may! So now
we have our praise and
worship in 3 languages—
Hindi, Punjabi and English!
We don’t know if our English
speaking members started
inviting friends or what
happened, but suddenly
more and more English
speaking people started
coming to our church!
We were quite surprised
and excited with this most
unexpected development.
Our little step of faith to
worship God, resulted in
such a tremendous blessing!
Now, we have more people
in our church, more seats
are filled, the praise and
worship is more exciting and
we’re taking our church and
worship to the next level!

Raising A Purposeful generation
Kota Marudu, formerly
known as Bandau, is a small
town located in Sabah,
East Malaysia. The story of
HSG Kota Marudu began at
the Pastor’s Conference in
2015. That was when Pastor
Daniel and Pastor Deborah
first met Pastor Uhanis.
A casual conversation
between Pastor Daniel
and Pastor Uhanis about
“Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom.” george washington carver
his thoughts on the
conference eventually led
to Pastor Uhanis talking
about the lack of proper
education in Kota Marudu.
Children in Kota Marudu
have to trave l a long
distance to public schools
but their parents are unable
to afford the transportation
fees. Hence, some children
By Pastor Uhanis
57
are forced to forgo school
entirely. This education gap
has been taking a toll on
the well-being of the young
people in the town often
leading children living lives
without a bright future and
for some, immoral activities.
Pastor Uhanis shared his
heart, dream, and passion
—building a dormitory in
a church next to the local
public school to meet the
needs of these children.
Though a church by
itself will leave an impact
on society, combining
it with basic education
and accommodation for
the children will make a
tremendous difference
in creating an avenue for
children to increase their
living standards. Our Senior
Pastors felt the heart of
Pastor Uhanis’ dream and
decided to be a part of
this man’s great passion.
Decisions were made and
funds were al located to
the building of the church.
Within a few weeks, they
decided on the location
a few hundred meters

away from the local public
school and built an empty
structure for the main hall.
They were able to have
their first Sunday service
that weekend with a total
attendance of 50 students.
Making a difference in
people’s lives is one of the
most significant things a
person can do. It creates a
ripple effect. Contributions
and faith through the His
Sanctuary of Glory Global
Ministries creates hope
and opportunities into the
lives of children in Kota
Marudu. Work does not
end here as the goal of
our church in Kota Merudu
is to build an equipped
boarding school within
the church compound so
that the children are able
to attend school easily.
With the boarding school
functioning, the lives of
many young children will
be impacted. Not only
will we be able to provide
them accommodation
and food, but most
importantly, the ability
to change their future.

Young people today need god more than ever. They need to know they are not alone.
“You are Stupid! Ugly!
You are a FAILURE!”
These are the thoughts
that run through the minds
of many youths. We are
bogged down by peer
pressure, insecurities,
doubts, fears and worries
almost every day of our lives.
It is easy to be overwhelmed
by fear, and lose confidence
in ourselves and our abilities.
These thoughts have brought
generations of young people
towards depression, anger, pain
and in many cases, suicide.
The World Health Organization
(WHO) estimates that about
one million people die each
year from suicide, that’s
90 deaths EVERY HOUR!

“For God has not given
us a spirit of fear, but of
power and of love and of
a sound mind.”
2 Timothy 1:7
Generation 4Twelve and The
Broadcast is HSGKL’s youth
and campus ministry which
believes in bringing God’s
love to where it matters most;
the hearts of young people.
It ’s really about making
a difference in people’s
lives. We can feed them
and do acts of service
but nothing is going to
replace what God can do
on their lives. With God’s
love the young are able to
cast aside all barriers and
emerge from the limits
they have placed upon
themselves. Young people
need to realize they’re
made to be an undefeated
force to be reckoned with.
And with that conviction
of God’s love, they can
become the change of
hope in the world.

“Because of Christ and
our faith in him, we can
now come boldly and
confidently into God’s
presence.” Ephesians 3:12
BE THE CHANgESometimes we distance
ourselves from people
whom we feel like don’t fit
into our Christian circle but
these are the very people
who need God’s love most.
There is a real need for
courageous Christians
who are convicted with
the passion to make a
positive impact in people’s
lives. Young people need
to know and understand
that they can make a real
difference just by being
real and relevant; because
sometimes we are the
only Jesus people can
see, touch and feel. Be
that Jesus and make the
difference, be the change!

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” Helen Keller
On February 2015, the
Burmese army sent tens of
thousands of troops into
the mountainous region
of Guo Gan, supported
by aircraft and artillery in
response to an insurgent
attack on their military
base. Clashes between
both forces swept the
region, displacing over
50,000 civilians from their
homes. “The situation is
still very complicated.
Neither side can win;
neither side can get a
decisive result.” says
U Aung Kyaw Zaw, a
Burmese political observer.
Amidst the chaos and
turmoil in the remote
mountainous region, a
single school continues
to serve the community.

There are now fewer
teachers and students

and the already poor
access to the school
worsened by hastily

children who are present

where perhaps they will
learn how to mult ip ly

rain comes from.
The light of hope through
education continues to
shine during those dark
times , sown a few years
ago by a collaborative
ef fort between pastors
and churches from China,
Myanmar, and Malaysia.
Building a school in a region
with no vehicular access
was a tremendous challenge
that was overcome through
persistence, ingenuity, and
passion for the Guo Gan
community. Each party
contributed their unique
strength; HSGGM oversaw
logistics and building
materials, while our partner
church network in China
managed the teaching
syllabus, learning materials
and training of teachers.
Such projects were one
of the few collaborations
around the world where
HSGGM engaged not just
one or two, but many
pastors in a nation all at
once; breaking mindsets,
developing leaders, and
impacting local communities.

trainings was so strong
that pastor samuel has
risen up to the challenge to
conduct them resulting in
a growing number of other

excitement and a renewed
vigor in expanding God’s

a team from Malaysia to

Trainings and meetings
such as these also serve
as a platform to build
connections, exchange
ideas, and form partnerships
and collaborations for
initiatives much larger than
any single pastor would
be capable of achieving
alone. Guo Gan was the
first project; but it certainly
would not be the last. Talks
are ongoing to engage
in partnership for more
projects across the region;
