It was 'balek kampong' (back to home village) for me again and what a day I had and I am still praising the Lord for giving us this day and this wonderful privilege of sharing fellowship and the word with our many friends there.
Transport came for us at 10.15 a.m. and as we drove through Balestier Road memories flooded my mind and I became very nostalgic. I was born in Norfolk Road, grew up in the Balestier area.
We arrived at the church early so were able to spend time chatting with our many friends. The meeting began at 11.00 a.m. We had our opening song, prayer and singing of some contemporary choruses, the children we called to the front. I prayed for the children, then they moved upstairs for Sunday School. Everything was done in an orderly way.
There was a lovely mix of youth, middle aged and elderly in the congregation in the congregation.
After the benediction, some went home, others stayed to have lunch cooked by the comrades. The Corps Council members took us to the Hotel across the road to have buffet lunch. We reached home about 4.30 p.m. It was a long day for us, but we were thoroughly blessed.
It is not a big church nowhere near a mega church but lovely spirit.
Captain Hary Haran the pastor is on leave in Malaysia. He is well supported by the comrades of the church as they reach out to the community in the neighbourhood.
