Amplify in the City

Dear Friends,

Were you there 2nite? It was amazing!!!

More than 500 youth / young adult were there 2nite just praising God. Wonderful worship led by Kevin Kong and the worship team. If you are not aware, Kevin and his better half spent abt a year in the United States to hone in into their God given musical talents. It was amazing to seem him lead the crowd into an wonderful time of worship. Wow, it was just... mmmm .... just marvellous! I mean... I have been out of touch with all the latest songs in the P&W arena but there I was singing as if I have known it for the longest time. Well, I suppose it was bec he was easily able to lead us to our maker.

The preacher for the nite was Leonard Koh. I knew him from his younger days as a teen passionate abt God and at the same time looking up at us from Youth Praise Ministry. Today I look up at him as he has grown to be an amazing preacher of the Word of God. The way he expounded on the Word was ... WOW! I have not heard such wonderful preaching for a long long time.

It was truly inspiring to see a laity having such deep insights on the Word and being able to deliver the Word as he did. Delivery is the key. You might have an average message but the way you deliver it makes a whole lot of difference. Leonard has learnt the art.

Another remarkable thing was that this was a youth laity event ran by the youth laity for the youth laity. Mmm... Amplify seems to have learnt the art of attracting the youth.

Meet them at the Catholic Spirituality Centre on Fridays. CSC actually sponsored the entire event. Praise God!
