12th September 2008: A Beautiful Night in the City

What a beautiful night it was last Friday at Amplify in the City! With almost 400 people present singing the praises of God, the NTUC auditorium at One Marina hosted the night where the Name of Jesus was lifted HIGH in Singapore!

By 7.30pm, the foyer outside was buzzing with much activity and there were still lots of people streaming in from packed lifts. Amplify in the City began as a project of faith for our ministry and it was mind-boggling to see the huge number of people who filled the foyer. It was truly incredible.

Kevin and the Amplify Worship Team opened the night and led us into a time of praise and worship. The presence of God filled the auditorium as people lifted their hands in worship and surrender to our Lord.




Leonard continued the night with a message on the Grace and unconditional Love of God. That God would do whatever it takes to find and meet us. Just as how Jesus traveled through Samaria to meet the woman at the well under the hot afternoon sun (John 4), He would meet us where we are in our lives.


Amplify in the City was fully sponsored by Catholic Spirituality Centre (CSC). As freely as we had received, we wanted to give and bless another organization. It is our hope that we may be a generation that is marked by love for others. An offering was taken up and a staggering amount of $2200 was collected! To all who donated, thank you for your generosity. All the money will be given to St George's Place, a shelter for victims of domestic violence, single women and families in crisis. May they be blessed by your kindness and prayers.

The night ended with everyone lifting our hands high to pray for our Nation. It is our prayer that there'll be a spiritual awakening in this generation. That young people across Singapore will come to encounter Jesus in a personal and tangible way and that they will live lives fueled with the passion and desire to make the Name of Jesus known. May God will cover our land with His blessings and protection. For "greater things have yet to come, and greater things will be done in this city"!

To all our 80+ volunteers, you guys rock! It was amazing and humbling to serve with such a dedicated, enthusiastic and selfless group of people, who would do whatever-it-takes to serve God and His people!

Those who came as early as 2pm Friday afternoon to load up the equipment (and those who stayed till 1am that night to transport back and pack the equipment), those who arrived earlier at NTUC to set up the environment, our awesome Tunnel ushers (I don’t think that the Raffles tunnel was ever blessed with such a joyful bunch of people directing the way), to the friendly Foyer greeters who made our guests feel welcomed, to the effective Auditorium ushers who seated the biggest crowd Amplify has ever seen! THANK YOU! This evening would not have been possible without all of you.

Amplify in the City was a night for God and about God!

Thank you Lord, for giving us the privilege of serving You and being part of such an incredible evening that started as a dream and a hope to lead Your people to glorify Your Name in the heart of Singapore. Thank You Holy Spirit for showing up that night, for healing hearts and transforming lives. It was indeed a night to remember! May we never cease to praise You with our lives.

Not to us Lord, but to Your Name be all the Glory!
