In September, City Harvest Church (CHC) organized a mission trip to one to our affiliate churches in Kuching, Malaysia, helmed by George Tiong, Senior Pastor of City Harvest Church, Kuching.
A team of 16 went up with Kong Hee, Senior Pastor of CHC, to assist in three fully-packed evangelistic services and a power-packed leadership training session. All held within just two days, from 21 to 22 of September, it was a short but impactful time for the missions team from CHC, the staff of Kuching Harvest Church, as well as the many who had attended the services and training.
It was evident that this was a much-anticipated event, as the people were highly excited to receive Kong, and were obviously hungry to hear the word of God. From the very first session to the last, the praise and worship was loud and exuberant, with youths and adults packing the 400-seater hall.
At the leadership training session the next day, Kong preached powerfully and the presence of God was very tangible. During the last evangelistic service, the atmosphere of expectancy was so strong that it led to a great move of God as Kong laid hands on the many that came forward to respond to the altar call.

It was truly a time of impartation for City Harvest Church, Kuching as they received motivational teachings from Kong, and gained practical advice from the CHC praise and worship team on how to play better to bring down the presence of God. The mission team from CHC felt ministered themselves too. Alan Chan, 27, IT Executive, who was part of the mission team, mused, “The way the Malaysians praised and worshiped brought back memories of when I first gave my life to Jesus. I am inspired to love God more.”
