Launch of the Singapore Church of the Nazarene

by | Nov 25, 2016

Singapore: I am convinced and experientially aware that, “God accomplishes His mission through the Body of Christ.” Our compelling vision is that every person should be a Christlike disciple in Singapore and our missional thrust will be accelerated and amplified as in the words of Neil Cole, “The gospel flies best on the wings of relationships.”

launch-serviceAt our launch service on October 1 2016, invited guests and our very own Nazarene family celebrated God’s presence through praise and worship and rendition of items in song by our House of Bread members and our Burmese groups. The exhortation from God’s Word as preached by Asia Pacific Regional Director, Dr. Mark Louw, entitled, Living Freedom Excellently against the backdrop from Luke 4:14-20. He skillfully wove the truth into the fabric of our post-modern era and created an ambience of how we need to live out our freedom fully as holy people of God! Our take- away from his message is that we need “to be a network of interconnected organic churches, making Christlike disciples intentionally, reproducing exponentially, worshipping corporately and expanding geographically.” Fellowship, follow-up discussion of the message and vision for this newly launched church propelled us into feverish enthuasiam to “go and make Christlike Disciples in Singapore.”
