True Stories To Inspire: Leong Yan Chee & Liu Jia Qi

Posted By City Harvest Church On 1 November 2008 (4:04 am) In Inspiration

In the year 2001, God led me (Yan Chee) to Singapore where I spent one year in City Harvest Bible Training Center, School of Theology (SOT). Although I was brought up in a Christian family, I was never properly trained and discipled in the Word of God. As a result, I often found it hard to serve effectively in my church and many times I felt very discouraged. When I was in SOT, I began to discover my destiny and calling, and also learned to overcome my weaknesses and develop valuable ministry skills that enabled me to become a better servant and leader. One of the most useful things I learned was the skills for effective preaching. Through this, my communication skills were sharpened and my passion for teaching and preaching was ignited.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was in SOT that I met my wife, Jia Qi. Before SOT, she used to be shy and introverted. But through SOT, God restored her confidence in Him and she did so well that she topped the entire cohort and received the Best Student Award for the year.

In church, we learnt the powerful principle of sowing and reaping and the importance of giving to the house of God. It’s been a privilege for us to participate in all the Arise & Build campaigns since 2001. In the year 2005, the Lord challenged me to give an amount that is equal to 90 percent of the entire savings that I’ve saved up for my wedding. This meant that I would have to stay in a rented room with my new bride. Although it was a great challenge, I trusted God and was convinced that He will make a way for us. With many tears in our eyes, we gave all our savings to the Lord that year.

The blessings of God were more than what we could have imagined. Jia Qi gave three months of her salary while I gave four months of my salary to the Building Fund. Within six months, God blessed us financially through friends and family who gave us generous red packets for our wedding. With that, we bought our first car and our first home in Singapore. God provided for us and covered all the expenses for our three weddings in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Taipei. Another person blessed us with a sponsored honeymoon trip to Europe. The total amount of blessings we received that year alone is more than three times of what we had given.

Knowing that God is looking after every aspect of our lives and our home, I’m looking forward to exciting times ahead as we continue to grow the church and meet the needs of people. As we serve Him wholeheartedly, He will take care of all areas of our lives!

LET’S ARISE & BUILD

Super Finalists In Superband

Posted By Elaine Ng On 8 November 2008 (12:45 am) In Marketplace

Many viewers tuned in to popular talent-search competition, Superband, on Channel U, week after week. However, unknown to many is the fact that eight of the finalists are members of City Harvest Church (CHC).

Janet Liu (one half of Er Zuo Ju), Estella Sia and Joanne Koh (two members of Da Fong Cui), Eric Wong, Careen Tham, Derrick Lim, Ryan Wong and Janice Chan (all from Dream Factory) all shared a common reason for participating in the Superband competition: They saw it as a challenge, to do something different on a nationwide level. And they did their supporters proud by making it to the finals.

Estella, Derrick and Ryan are music teachers, while the rest come from various other industries.

Estella and Joanne’s band made it to the top two. “It was a real honor,” says Estella. “To us, we see it as a beginning of great things to come. The experience of going through the whole journey, and learning so much is better than winning the competition itself. We give all glory to God.”

The band is planning to cut their own album, and they will be undertaking the entire project by themselves, from writing the songs to producing the album. They have also received several invitations to perform at events.

For Careen, Eric, Derrick, Ryan and Janice whose band is formed entirely of CHC members, their venture into the media and the arts continue as they plan to write songs together and cut their own CD.

All the participants agreed firstly, that the support of family and friends is crucial. Eric and Careen, husband and wife, and parents to 10-month-old Jordan, say that through this competition, they realized that their support for each other is paramount in achieving their dreams.

Another fact that all seven members agree on, is that a precious thing they take away from this experience is the relationships they have formed with each other, the other participants and media personnel they have come to know.

These ordinary folk with a streak of creativity took up the challenge and went into the world of media and entertainment as ambassadors for Christ. As Janet, half of Er Zuo Ju, puts it, “One of my most memorable moments is being able to thank God on national TV.”

These eight Super finalists are engaging culture in an unprecedented way!
