PRIORITY 6 - FROM EXCLUSIVITY TO KINGDOM PARTNERSHIPS
On a broader level, our movement has been engaging with various leaders and movements. We have had Pastor Bill Wilson from Metro Ministries, US and Rev. Dr. Rick Seaward from Victory Family Centre, Singapore speak at our January and July Global Conferences respectively.
In June, our HIM Elders met with Rev. Ed Silvoso of Harvest Evangelism at the Apostolic Prophetic Rally in Sarawak, Malaysia. In August, they met with Pastor Phil Pringle of Christian City Church at their bi-annual Global Conference for leaders in Selangor, Malaysia. Pastor Simon and several of our pastors also spent time with Apostle Ron Sawka in a Prophetic Activation Advanced seminar in Sabah, Malaysia.
Let me share about strategic Priority 6.
I am thankful for Lisa Toh and Lawrence Ong who are a big help with NGO work whilst James Loke is a big help with Apostolic-Prophetic work. The priority has had a slight restructuring of our two initiatives.
Our two initiatives were;
1. Form Strategic Partnerships with apostolic movement, prophetic movement and Global NGOs, and
2. Establish External Apostolic Advisory Board.
1. Form Global NGO Partnerships, and
2. Form Apostolic-Prophetic Partnerships (including the external advisory board).
Our NGO team has considered several organisations and have shortlisted Compassion International and Focus on the Family. We are looking at the Compassion child sponsorship in poor countries. We are also exploring marriage, parenting and family life as a community ministry. After all, marriages and families are breaking up right at our doorstep.
Our A-P partnerships will support the Elders as they build relationships with apostles and prophets. Currently the Elders are prayerfully developing relationships with several Godly leaders. Then our future Advisory board is tied to the progress of A-P partnerships.
Overall we are aware that the road ahead is long. Today we take steps to build long-term partnerships with like-minded people. To God be the glory!

Personally I was able to visit the global headquarters of Compassion International and Focus on the Family in August. Both campuses are in Colorado Springs, US.
I met with Neal Joseph (in picture), Senior Vice-President of Compassion International and with Stan John, Senior Vice-President of Focus on the Family. Both discussions were positive and promising.
Overall we are aware that the road ahead is long. Today we take steps to build long-term partnerships with like-minded people. To God be the glory!
