When Pastor Prince shared that word from the Lord that the Year 2007 will be a "Year of New Beginnings", most of us thought the word was for individual church members; not so much for the church body. On the contrary, it meant so much for New Creation as a church, more than any other year.
In April, Pastor Prince's sermons were broadcast in USA over Daystar Channel weekly at 7PM on Thursdays and because of the length of his messages, it would take one month to complete his usual 80-90 minutes sermon (each week's broadcast was for 22 minutes) and with effect from May 15 (Pastor's birthday), the broadcast went daily and at a new time-slot of 2PM. Because of its popularity, a new channel was added in November - ABC Family (secular channel) - and aired at 5AM daily.
Pastor's book "Destined to Reign" was launched in July/August and is now one of the best sellers in more than 2000 Christian bookstores in USA. Also in Singapore Times the Bookstore carries this title and is among the top sellers.
In September, the church made the announcement that it is joining CapitalLand to build a new Cultural and Civic hub at OneNorth, Bouna Vista which is expected to be completed by end 2011 and the church will move in in 2012 to hold its services (expected to be 4 services by then) at the new 5000-seater auditorium. New Creation Church will be the anchor tenant for the auditorium. The church is expected to raise SGD180 million to meet its share of the cost of the hub and as at Dec 09 (last Sunday) a total of close to SGD3 million had been raised. All glory to Abba Daddy!!
Also on Sept 9th, the church attendance on a Sunday stood at 16,646 - a new high. The average church attendance on any given Sunday is hovering at 16,000 and we expect this to be surpassed any time soon.
Lives have been transformed and members are experiencing greater blessings in quality of life as well as material blessings... Indeed this is a Year of New Beginnings for the church! Praise Abba Daddy for His grace!
My prayer for you - "Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. 3John2 (NIV)"
The Lord's Theme For The Year
The Lord has crowned the year (2011) with His goodness and caused us to walk in His paths that drips with His fatness (Psalm 65:11)

A New Believer's Prayer
Thank you Father for loving us so much that You sent Your precious Son Jesus Christ to this world to die for all our sins. I receive Jesus into my heart as my Lord and Savior.Thank you that all my sins have been nailed to the Cross on Jesus at His death and because He died in our place, I am now saved forever. I have been made righteous in Your sight because of what Jesus did and I can now enjoy Your blessings over my life. Thank you for the privilege of being called Your Child and for the Gift of Your Holy Spirit in my life. AMEN
