Our Church Camp

Monte and I were so blessed at our church camp from 8-11 June 2025 in Johore Bahru, Malaysia. We thank God for opening the door for us to be at the camp. God moved powerfully throughout the camp. We are grateful for the ministry of Pastor Julie. May the Lord move Eternal Life AG to greater heights. May we experience a mighty outpouring of God's Spirit upon us.

Thankful

Old Gate

New Gate 

Monte and I are deeply appreciative and thankful to my two brothers for changing our gate.

This God is Our God

This God is our God. God of power and might. Omnipotent God. Manifest Your mighty power. Rule and reign gloriously. You are mighty to save. Mighty to heal. Mighty to deliver.

This God is our God. God of mercy and grace. Had it not been for Your mercy and grace upon us, we would never be where we are at this juncture. You poured in the oil and the wine. You restore and revive us daily. You are the glory and the lifter of our heads.

This God is our God. God of hope and strength. We lean on You. You energise and empower unceasingly. Your living hope spurs us to thrive. Your supernatural strength enables us to climb every mountain. We are eternally grateful to You.

Awaken Us

Awaken us with Your love. We hear Your voice. Your comforting voice. Your reassuring voice. Your voice brings strength and hope to us. We hear the voice of Your Spirit. We hear Your call. Calling us to follow You wholeheartedly.

Awaken us with Your love. We see Your face. Your radiant face. Your lovely face. We behold Your glory and beauty. There is none like You. You are unparalleled. You are irreplaceable. 

Awaken us with Your love. We see Your grace. Your grace abounds. Your grace leads us through every crisis. Your grace sustains us. Your grace empowers us.

The Leap of Faith

God leads us to live by faith. The leap of faith is supernatural. We are incapable but God enables us to jump. He enables us to leap forward. He stretches our spiritual muscles to make this leap.

Lord, help us to take the leap of faith. You open our eyes to see the miraculous. You flood our hearts to believe You wholeheartedly. We see through Your eyes. We hear through Your ears. Touch and sensitise our hearts to the promptings of Your Spirit.

We desire to move in Your anointing. Empower and anoint us. Grant us gifts and talents to serve You and Your people. Enlarge us. Extend us. Flood our hearts with the vision  of the cross. Help us to live by the power of Your Spirit.

Miracle Working God

God has led Monte and I to live by faith. It is often challenging. God comes through all the time. He is faithful. Faithful to lead us. Faithful to restore us. Faithful to provide for our every need.

A book entitled A Man Called Mr Pentecost by David Du Plesis influenced me a great deal. Mr Pentecost would be ministering in far flung places. He did not have the funds to get back home. He trusted the Lord. Our miracle working God provided the funds for him to get home.

This God is our God. He provides all the resources to accomplish everything He puts in our hearts to do. There is no lack in the Lord.

From 2012, Monte had attended the Society of Pentecostal Studies (SPS) conference on several occasions. The last one at Kirkland, Washington in March 2025. God provided for every trip he made in various locations all over the United States. In 2016, the SPS conference was not too far from Fresno, California. Monte and I spent a month in the States. The Lord provided for every need.

In January 2023, Monte and I spent a month in Asia Pacific Theological Seminary (APTS) in Baguio, Philippines, as it was a requirement for his PhD studies. The Lord provided for us miraculously. Glory be to the Lord!

Subsequently after that, Monte had to spend another month in APTS. God again supplied our needs. We can only stand in awe and marvel at God's love and goodness.

There is no scarcity in the Lord. He grows our faith to believe Him for the miraculous. Teach us to live by faith, Lord. There is nothing our God cannot do. We put our complete trust in our everlasting God and King.

Our hearts go out to everyone who has joined us in this journey of faith. Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for supporting us. Thank you for praying for us. Thank you for sowing into our ministry. May the Lord bless you abundantly.

My Late Mother-In-Law

My late mother-in-law left Monte and I a great legacy. She loved the Lord deeply. She love and served God wholeheartedly. She was a woman of faith and tenacity.

My late mother-in-law faced health challenges for years. The sickness did not stop her from loving and serving the Lord. Her life was a powerful testimony of God's mighty power and love. 

Monte and my marriage is a mixed marriage but I always felt the love and acceptance from my late mother-in-law. She was full of love.

My late mother-in-law prayed for Monte and I. She loved us dearly. She lives in our hearts.

My late mother-in-law came to Singapore a couple of times with my late father-in-law. I will never forget my interactions with her and my late father-in-law. Those wonderful memories are deeply etched in my heart.

One day, I will see my late mother-in-law again. I thank God for her life. She had been a great blessing to Monte and I.

Thank You, Lord

This glorious morning is a gift from You. We thank You for eternal life. We thank You for a new day. We thank You for a new beginning. Thank You for putting eternity in our hearts.

Saturate our hearts will Your abiding love. Lead us on in victory. Lead us to Your living streams. Lead us to Your high mountains. Help us to understand Your purposes and plans. Broaden our understanding. Ignite our hearts to burn with Your zeal and power. Move upon our broken lives.

With all of our hearts, we trust You. Those who trust in the Lord shall be like mount Zion. We shall not be moved. We cling to You. We hold fast to all that You have bestowed on us. We trust You with our final breath.

Merciful Lord

You turn the desert into pools of water. You are the reason of our existence. We live to see a glimpse of Your glory. We live to see a sign of Your love. We live and move and have our being in You.

You turn the desert into pools of water. Open our hearts. Open our eyes. Open our ears. You are all we ever needed. Our hope burns bright bright and strong. Mighty God, touch our broken lives. Work powerfully through our lives and ministries.

We Worship You

You command the winds and the waves. You set the galaxies in place. You created every star and named each of them. Great is the Lord. Worthy of all praise and glory.

You put eternity in our hearts. Your hope leads us on each new day. Your light burns brighter and stronger in each passing moment. We purpose in our hearts to seek You alone. We call upon You. We cry out to You.

Sovereign Lord, have Your way in us. Teach us to number our days. We count our blessings. We rest in Your love. We would have despaired had it not been for Your tender love. We would have despaired had it not been for Your unending mercy

Mighty God

The Holy Spirit intercedes for us unceasingly. We are always covered in prayer. We are not alone. The Lord covers us. He hems us in. He is in us. He is before us. He is beside us. He is behind us.

The Lord watches over us. He loves us with an everlasting love. He loves us deeply. He loves us dearly.

JL once messaged me to say that she was praying for me when the bus she was on was near my home. I was touched by this dear sister in the Lord.

God prompts people to pray for us. The unseen hand of God is moving. God is actively working in our broken lives. How deep is the love of God for us. We are never alone. Not only does the Holy Spirit intercedes for us. God touches the hearts of men and women to cover us in prayer.

God is moving powerfully. As we wait expectantly, He unveils His miraculous power and strength. He is unstoppable. He is unchanging. The Lord sustains us moment by moment.

Thank You, Lord

Thank You for holding us up. We have come so far and we are grateful. Grateful for Your unending mercy. Grateful for Your empowering presence. Grateful for Your hand of love.

Thank You for holding us up. You are our help us in times of need. You provide for us miraculously. You lead to a spacious place. You hem us in. You hide us in the shadow of Your wings.

Thank You for holding us up. You sustain us powerfully. When we feel that we are at the end of our strength, You renew us. You refresh us. You empower us. You energise us.

Monte and I were married on 20 March 1999. I have spent the best years of my life with Monte. God has blessed us beyond our wildest imagination.

God has graced us to walk through valleys and ravines. He has graced us through stormie seas. He sees us through treacherous terrains.

Our hearts are overwhelmed by God's love and faithfulness. We see His glory. We know His power. His mercies are new every morning. We live to taste His goodness. We live to see a glimpse of His glory.

We cannot thank the Lord enough for His goodness and grace. We call upon Him day and night. We serve a mighty God. Mighty to save. Mighty to heal. Mighty to deliver.

We look forward to days ahead of us with hope and optimism. The journey to the heart of God is filled with His love and power. We purposed in our hearts to seek the Lord. We follow hard after the lover of our soul.

Thank You, Lord

God is Actively at work in our broken lives. He is faithful and merciful. Our God is mighty. Our God is sovereign.

The Lord provided for Monte to make it to the Society of Pentecostal Studies conference in Kirkland, Washington. We are grateful that he can also visit our family and friends in Fresno, California.

We can never outgive the Lord. He reminds us daily that He is our sole supplier. He encourages and strengthens us daily. His mercies are new every morning.

When we were planning for this some months ahead, we prayed for God's miraculously provision. He is the prayer answering God. He meets our every need.

We thank family and friends for making this trip possible. Thank You for journeying with us. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for praying with us. Thank you for supporting us. Thank You for encouraging us. Thank you for sowing into our ministry. We would not be where we are today without each of your involvement. We are thankful.

Lord, we are eternally grateful to You, our Maker. Thank You for spurring us on when we do not know where we should go. We will follow You to the ends of the earth. Thank You for keeping the fire in us burning brighter and stronger. Thank You for putting eternity in our hearts.

Here is Monte's Facebook post on 10 March 2025

"Friends, we’re now at Changi Airport for my eve flight to USA; will be back 24 March!

First I’m off to Seattle, Washington to attend this year’s annual meeting for the Society of Pentecostal Studies at Northwest University, where I will give a presentation from the final chapter of my book, thus titled, “’On the Altar, Catching Fire!’ Toward a Pentecostal Theology of the Altar.” Then 18-22 March I will be in Fresno, California to see my remaining family.

What I must stress here is—

Thank God for 100% gracing with this trip, through the generous support of several good friends who together through their respective roles—covered its total expense. Jee Fong and I thank God for the grace of sacrifice they have laboured towards for the cause of his kingdom.

Though for years we have steadfastly looked to the Lord for pathways past our experienced lack, still we forward move without regular income; often literally praying in what we need. The Lord is faithful. In him we trust, and entrust our life, for he entrusted us with the faith of our forefathers for cause of Pentecostal fires worldwide. The Word is Gift; most of whatever we have at this moment, has been freely given to us. I live in deep debt to many people.” So I often pray, “Help me Lord, pay it forward.”

What we’ve gained

Is the life of prayer, knowledge of God’s Word, and never-diminishing passion to discharge the priestly duty entrusted to me: to preach the Full Gospel of Pentecost, for discipling the church into the charismatic fullness of Christ for healing the world; hastening the soon coming of the Lord.

This year’s SPS theme is focused on Pentecostal worship theology. So besides my talk towards a Pentecostal theology of the altar event, I have been roped in to respond two other presentations brought together: one on insights from African Pentecostal worship experience towards Pentecostal theologizing, and the other on exploring Pentecostal approaches to “hybrid worship”. So I look forward to some highly fruitful engagements through these sessions.

In preparation, I am re-reading my book, Pentecostal Liturgical Theology: On the Altar, Willed to Pentecost, particularly of the course the last chapter on this Pentecostal theology of the altar. There I notice I raise the theme of thanksgiving, calling to mind the exhortation of Hebrews 13.15-16: 

“Let us continuously offer a sacrifice of praise to God,” and let us neglect to do good and share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”

So in the book I wrote (pp. 190-191):

“For on the altar, worshippers have thus pivotally placed themselves within the flow of salvation history, becoming the fuel that forwards its movement . . . . 

in that healing empowering moment . . . these sacrifices become gifts for fuelling the gift-economy that flourishes God’s household and his saving mission for the world’s healing. 

As the Spirit-baptized temple, we thus discharge our priestly work (leitourgia) at invoking Holy Spirit outpouring on these offerings of thanksgiving to Christ our king, who commissions us for the saving mission of God.”

With Jee Fong Tan-Rice"

Our Hearts Find Rest in You

Our hearts find rest in You alone. You are our only hope. Hope that is anchored in Your love. Hope that does not disappoint. Hope so sure. Thank You for putting eternity in our hearts.

Our hearts find rest in You alone. You bring us comfort and strength. You strengthen our feeble knees. You keep our hearts pumping. You are why we rise each day with optimism. Because of Your, we are full of life.

Our hearts find rest in You alone. You are all we ever needed. You are the light at the end of the tunnel. You lead us to Your pathways. You leads through perilous terrains. You show us Your power and might. You reign supreme. You reign sovereign.

Glorious Lord

Changi Beach

One evening, Monte and I were out at Changi Village. We strolled towards the nearby beach. This photo was taken when we were on the bridge that connects the Changi Village to the beach.

We behold the glorious beauty of the Lord. Beauty beyond description. The God of heaven and earth unfolds His glory right before our eyes. Majestic and glorious is our God. You are irreplaceable. You are unparalleled. We worship You almighty God!

We Look to You

As we look to You, our face is radiant. You poured in the oil and the wine. You satisfy our deepest longing. Shine Your glorious on us. Make us a people of power. Make us a people of praise.

As we look to You, our hearts are leaping with joy. Joy unspeakable. Exceeding great joy. Joy overflowing. Joy in the depth of our being. In the midst of great trails, joy prevails.

As we look to You, our hearts are overwhelmed. This journey with You is peppered with Your mercy and grace. You have blessed us beyond our wildest imagination. We see You high and lifted up. You are mighty God. Move powerfully upon our broken lives.

Help Us to End This Race Well

Help us to end this race well. Strengthen us by the power of Your Spirit. Spirit of the living God, fall afresh and anew on us. Touch our broken lives. Breathe upon us, breath of God. Consume us as we lay on Your altar. Sanctify us as we worship You.

Help us to end this race well. Flood our hearts with Your love. Love personified. Love crucified. Love divine. We taste the sweetness of Your love. How deep is Your love! How strong is Your love! How wide is Your love. How rich is Your love!

Help us to end this race well. Guide us to the very end. Grant us a vision of the cross. Help to persevere. Help us to take baby steps of faith daily. This journey is peppered with Your power and grace. We are eternally grateful for Your work in our lives. Move powerfully through our lives and ministries.

Glorious Lord

We live to see a glimpse of Your glory. Let Your glory fall. Manifest Your power and strength. Engulf us with Your glory. We stand amazed at Your wondrous work. You are mighty to save. Mighty to heal. Mighty to deliver.

We live to taste Your goodness. Nothing else matters. Your goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives. Your goodness overwhelms us daily. Taste and see that the Lord is good. We taste honey in the rock. We taste sweetness that words cannot express.

We live to see Your wonders. Miracle working God, work powerfully through each of us. We see miracles daily. We know Your power. We worship You. Sanctify us. Release us to move in Your anointing. Work powerfully through our lives and ministries.

God of Miracles

God of miracles, inspire our hearts to trust You in desolate wasteland. Lift us up. Lift us up to know Your abiding love. Inspire our hearts to hold on to Your promises.

God of miracles, touch our hearts. Open our eyes to see Your glory. Open our ears to hear Your voice. We walk in Your love. We follow hard after You. Pave our way. Guide us into Your plans and purposes.

God of miracles, move upon our hearts. Anoint and empower us as we step out in obedience to serve You. Anoint and empower us as we step into the water. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. We trust You with our final breath.

Blessed

My watch is beyond repair. Monte surprised me with a new watch. ❤️
