PASTOR SIMON ENG MESSAGE
Hope German Festival
A few things have happened. I just came, not too long ago, from the German festival where there were almost 550 people who gathered together. I'm very encouraged by what our German brothers and sisters and leaders have done over there. We came together for a time of festival, of sharing, and teaching and reminding the people to continue to move on with God's vision. I was inspired with the wunderbar times that we had in the night where the people gathered to fellowship. God has been really doing wonderful work over in Germany and I'm very encouraged.

Then I traveled to Singapore not too long after that, and again just encouraging the church as we move along and see what God is going in our mega church in Singapore as well. Praise God!
Building a Holistic Community
I'm excited to communicate with us on this aspect of building a holistic, wonderful relationship among our people. Right from the very top, with our pastoral team, the top leadership team, we want to really build a sense of love and warmth and holisticness where we care for each other. As I look at Acts chapter 1 where the 120 got together, and then you know the Holy Spirit came and 3000 people were added. You can see in verses 42-47 how they really united and how the holistic relationship was cemented together. They ministered to each other and yet at the same time they cared for each other as well. Let that kind of relationship be built in our churches. Let it cascade down to our members whereby in the life group there is such a holistic and caring attitude, the members care for each other, they look out for each other, and when the visitors come, they will also see a great sense of holistic wonderful relationship among us. And a sense that it is God that is doing it.

And through that there will be a touch of the Holy Spirit, the touch of the love of God that ministers to our people and the people that come and join us. And God will add to our life group, add to our church as well. I'd like to encourage us to build that. Let's put effort and let's pray that we can see that wonderful holistic community among our top level, right, right down to the life group and our people as well.
Prayer in Spiritual Warfare
Second are perhaps that I would like to encourage us is to continue to do spiritual warfare on behalf of our people. Let's really pray for our leaders. Name them to the Lord. Ask the Holy Spirit what would be the particular areas that we want to break through. Ask God too for our member where we name them to the Lord and we continue to do warfare on their behalf as well. Warfare over their lives, warfare over their challenges, warfare to advance forward as well. Because we want to break through to see God do more in the lives of our people. Brothers and sisters I trust that we will be able to see that happen in our churches and in the lives of our people as well.
Oceania Convention & North America Camp
Pray for me, I'm going to visit Oceania with the camp coming in the end of June and early July. And then our North America camp is going to be on as well. And I Endeavour to visit our churches in South America to see them also and encourage our brothers and sisters there to see what God is doing.
God bless us all and continue to prosper us, favor us as we continue to walk with Him. Amen.
