I am one of the volunteer for SWAT (Special Weekend Anniversary Team), and I was there on Saturday to help scrapping the wall of our new church's building. That was the first time ever I've been to the hall of our new church's building, and I can tell you, even though it's still not completely in place yet, but I can already feel the atmosphere and the presence of God there.

The place is so huge and spacious if compare to the building that we are using now. The stage is 10 times bigger, the lights, the place to sit... I was standing there imagining the day when the hall is filled with people who came to praise and worship God. It's going to be magnificent, and its going to be the day I am looking forward to.

It reminds me of a video of pastor Kong's vision of church as big as a stadium, and it was filled with God loving people. Imagine when pastor says, "Let's give God a great shout", you can hear thunder of roars made by the congregation. Everyone was shouting and clapping their hands for God. Doing the Mexican wave and chanting the name of Jesus, shouting Hallelujah.... 

When we sing, it was just so unison, we are ultimately the biggest choir in the world. Heaven just open up, and the presence of God pour down ever so strongly upon each and everyone of us. It was indeed the most greatest experience ever. Every week we can see hundreds and thousands of people being saved during service. Angels cheering and heaven rejoice, more and more soul are being saved, more and more passionate and God loving people are added to the house of God.

I was in awe with my own imagination, but ultimately it is a vision that will come to pass one day. I am super excited for the new building! I can't wait for our first service there at the end of July 2011. It's going to be awesome! Its going to be magnificent! Its going to be mind blowing and life changing! It's going to be another new and exciting journey with City Harvest Church KL, and its a privilege to be able to be apart of it.

Since a child, he cherished me,
Love and hate, times we grew,
Ups and down, putting through, 
Risk taker, adventurous, 
A dreamer, a joker,
The man of my life. 

Nothing had I ever imagined, 
Surprises after surprises,
Bitter sweet, storms and quakes,
Summer and springs, went all through,
Tears and joy, life went on,
With the man of my life. 

Pride of a lion, bites me,
Work of his hands, feeds me,
Joy of his soul, delights me,
Quietly, protecting my life,
Lovingly, hope I do fine, 
Hoping I chose his replica as a man of my life. 

With less expression, I concerned,
Silently, heart was crushed,
Seeing him under pressures of life,
Determined for his burdens lifted up,
To the end, I will fight, for his stake,
Prayer is the only answer of life. 

I love you, Dad.
