We had our first Missions Awareness Event after the Covid-19 pandemic on 18 & 19 Aug 2023 and our hearts were encouraged when we had close to 70-80 attendees in each session. We asked ourselves this important question during this event: “How can we live out our missional call and be a missional community?”.

On Friday evening Rev Calvin Lee shared powerfully on our missional call as we are called to be “the salt and light of the world”. Many came forward to dedicate their lives to live missionally wherever they are.

On Saturday morning there was a call to be a missional community. Rev Calvin focused on the “why” question for the reasons of coming together as a community, especially from Acts 2:42-47. We also provided the platform to engage more people in outreach work to the migrant workers and Missions Exposure Trips / STM Trips during the Q&A session. We had a powerful testimony shared by a mother and a child in how the family and cell group can be involved in missions as we move towards the Year of Engagement in 2024.

We invited 6 Missions Organisations (namely WEC, Pioneer, Habibi, Wycliffe, CCI) whom we partner with to set up booths to showcase their missions work and how we as a church can partner with them. We also had our own mission’s booth to engage our people in missions. It is encouraging that more people signed up after this Missions Awareness Event for the Missions Telegram Channel and asked to join MET/STM trips as we move together as a missional community!
