CELEBRATING 80 YEARS OF GOD'S FAITHFULNESS 1928 - 2008

Hi Friends
It was a joyous occasion when we celebrated the Assemblies of God 80th Anniversary with a dinner at the Singapore EXPO on 20th January 2008. There were about 1460 guests present. They included all Assemblies of God credentialed ministers and their spouses, the Denominational Heads, overseas Christian Leaders and special invited friends. It was a night of celebration of God’s faithfulness. Praise God for such a gathering. Many had worked hard for the event.

We have just finished our Annual General Council where business was conducted and election of officers was carried out. The new Executive Committee are Rev Dr Patrick Lau (General Superintendent), Rev Robert Lum (Assistant General Superintendent), Rev Chia Beng Hock (General Secretary), Rev Loh Hung Chey (General Treasurer), Rev Alfred Ang, Rev Sam Kuna, Rev Magdalene Ng, Rev Emily Tan and Rev Sophia Tan (Committee Members). In the evening, credentials were presented to candidates who fulfilled all the requirements. We welcome another batch of workers.

Come 26th July 2008, the third celebration will be the gathering for a community dinner at Roland Restaurant with the Guest of Honour, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports. There will be 70 tables of friends from the community and beneficiaries from various agencies in the network of The Assemblies of God.

The 80th Anniversary Celebration will climax with a big bang when we meet for the Fresh Fire Conference at Trinity Christian Centre’s new facility at Paya Lebar. About six international speakers will address the power of the Holy Spirit ministry among the youth, adults, ministers, women and the area of music. The Desperation Band will be with us. The Mandarin speaking will also be blessed with dynamic speakers in their own tracks. Read more on our website at www.ag.org.sg

Yes, we are 80 years but growing stronger and the vision brighter. We are planning to climb greater heights and do exploits for the Lord. With what is behind us, we take courage to reach out to what is before us.

Thank you for your support in the past. We look forward to your support in prayer, financial help and also your participation in all the activities.

Rev. Dr. Patrick Lau
General Superintendent
