CHC Outreach JB experience
A few of us went for a short trip into JB to visit the JB outreach church.
Here’s just my personal experience...
The experience is definitely great!
One of the 'thing' which impresses me from the start, is that everything is modeled pretty closely to CHC, Singapore, from the way the greeters greet/welcome the friends, to the bulletins (the way they insert the offering envelope). Im sure William has something to say? Hahahaa.. Everyone is very warm and welcoming...
Another 'thing' which touches me is the 'hunger' from these people. erm, im not talking about them not having enough money to eat and becos of that, they are hungry.. hahaa...
I mean, these people are really hungry for God to be present and to touch them...
Their praise and worship might not be as good as the CHC band, but their hunger & their thirst for God really pulled down the Presence of God...
i was standing in the mist of the crowd, even though im a tad distracted at times by the music, but nevertheless, the presence of God was in the place, very tangible...
i believe it's becos the people are making effort to connect to God and really pulling down the presence.
Even in the mist of the preaching (I tell you, Pastor CK preaches ‘machiam’ like Pastor Kong!), everyone is engaging the Word, everyone is excited about what Pastor is sharing. At times, Pastor will challenge them; they will get excited, ‘Yes-and-Amen’-ing to whatever is declared by Pastor.
I feel really hard trying to pen down my experience. You have to be there to see, to feel, to experience it yourself.
