how prayer and worship started a church
it started in an empty space along a deserted shophouse stretch. knees soaked with tears fell on raw concrete. the vision was clear but there were no funds available because the pastor barely had enough to get by day to day. despite that the fire to desire for a church to arise to serve the community was so strong. they asked GOD to show up.
sceptics and naysayers tried to discourage them - the people are too poor, too needy, not enough funds, spiritual oppression, religious opposition, almost impossible permit to be granted for change of use, no carpets, no power, no water, no AV systems, nothing BUT faith. prayer and worship carried the vision forward.
a low waged worker decided to use almost his entire month's salary to pay for the first month rental and the rest is history
the church today is 3 years old
- has sunday school program
- has youth program
- has weekly prayer and fasting sessions
- holds weekly bible study
- does community visits
- sponsors two missionaries to India
- provides for the livelihood of a few poor families living below the poverty line
- provide medical financial help to those with chronic diseases and injury
- ministers to those with mental health issues
- support families with special needs
- provides help to recovering drug addicts and those with other addictions
- received their chairs and full AV system from a miracle donation paying only for the lorry transport fee
- electrical, lights, aircon, carpet and water came from almost emptying the personal account of the pastor and her family
they continue to be unsure of where the next month support is coming from but they take faith.
a few came up to me to tell me so joyfully that they have so much to give for the work of the LORD from their cashier, waitering, driver, cleaner, security, etc job.
they have so little, but yet they have everything and they are happy that they could build the church. they told me that prayer and worship lifted them and that is enough fully assured that GOD will provide.
this is how prayer and worship started a church
the founders of this church has signed up for idmc conference 2026. come bless them
