“As we celebrate PLMC’s 90th Anniversary, we were reminded of the importance of cross-honouring the different generations. It is also our desire that the Conference will be a platform to raise the next generation in our church. These young people are precious gems.  We wanted them to be more engaged in church and establish their roots with the rest of the church family.  For church to be relevant to them. 

“God is the Master Weaver, the maker of the tapestry, and we, the body, are the threads used in His grand design. The church is God’s loom, and He weaves His tapestry by uniting believers together in our love for God and His people.” 

“While God has shown me plainly the things I need to surrender right now, I have to confess that I don't know how to surrender them. I don't know what steps to take, or if even my surrender and 'Yes, Lord' to what I think God is calling to me to do is really in His will for me. My next few weeks will be ones of intense prayer and battle as I seek and discern His will for me, and learn to loosen my grip on the things that hold me. 

“It is my hope and prayer that all who have attended the conference and have been called to surrender, will find encouragement in knowing that they are not the only ones struggling, and to reach out to trusted brothers and sisters who can pray alongside them.”

“I was also surprised that the topic of Same-Sex Attraction was talked about by Jason Wong and Ps Ian Toh. While growing up, I’ve had many friends in class who struggled with same-sex attraction and even one who was in Christian Fellowship with me. He dreamt of going to hell and questioned why God made him like that. The speakers and the Q&A helped to answer some questions on how best to journey with friends who struggle with same sex attraction, how to love and accept them. Condemning not the person but the sin/behaviour.

“The biggest download was that God, through the generations, children, youth, young adults, adults, glowing years, was able to finish the good work that He started through His people. There are no church problems, only faith problems. If the generations continue to rally together in seeking the Lord, He will certainly knit our hearts together, that His glory may be seen in us.

“Often in the pursuit to live a distinct life, we can sometimes get so caught up in the work, that we often neglect our soul. Ps Edmund Chan’s message to come back to our First Love and to sit at his feet again really resonated in me to do more than just live an intentional life, but also a directed life.” 

“After this Conference, I will be intentional to look out for the next generation by Embracing them with love and care; Encouraging them by affirming and appreciating them; Empowering them by providing opportunities for them to nurture their talents and abilities.” 

“Ps Edmund delivered his messages clearly, touching not just my mind but my heart. The other speakers touched on all very relevant topics. Ps Charleston demonstrated to us how we can and need to engage, involve and empower the youth; Ps Ian and Jason Wong spoke clearly on LGBTQ and helped us to understand and not to avoid or ignore this issue. Same for Dr Daniel Fung on Mental Health, helping us to be more sensitive to this issue. To me, Dr Tam and Isaac Ong were inspiring. They helped me also not to measure everything by traditional values like efficiency and effectiveness alone. To remind me to be willing to help someone achieve their dreams.” 

“I was reminded of Psalm 52:12 - my prayer in the earlier part of this year. The past 4 days were full of reminders and reassurances of His promises and love. The Holy Spirit would remind me not to be swayed by my emotions but offer God genuine praise and prayer. 

“On the 2nd day of the Conference, I felt led to write a note for the lady sitting next to me, “He is your strength when you are weak” but I was doubtful if that was God or just the voice inside my head. I’ve never talked to her nor did I know about her. I didn't know whether the card actually meant something to her. Praise God it did! She dropped me a text the next day saying that the note spoke to her :”)

“The topics were relevant and I’m glad the church was able to address sensitive topics through a truthful and loving discussion. The sessions deepened my understanding of God’s design and helped me embrace His love for us as His creation. With the many reminders I got from the conference, there is a greater need for obedience, too! God wants our availability over our ability.” 

“The topics are very good and trending, especially for PLMC to continue the years ahead with God's power and love. Speakers were well anointed and inspiring.” 

“The topics discussed, especially the Q&A sessions on mental health and LGBTQ, were very relevant for my age group as well. I’ve learnt to change my mindset from “I’m too young or I’m not good enough in this area” to “here I am, Lord, use me.” 

“Through the leisure sections, we enjoyed the company of the Holy Spirit and had conversations about faith, serving God during the pandemic and even about how someone in church challenged one of my cell mates to go on a Mission Trip to serve God.”
