This week is going to be an exciting week at City Harvest Church.

The church has been in negotiations for a new building, and this week the location will be announced!

Pastor Kong Hee has been talking about a Church in the Marketplace and in the CBD for a long time, and finally it is coming to past. He has also updated his blog and given the reasons for the New $310 Million facility.

(Check out his  blog and the reasons here)

Personally, we are really excited, and our 6 weeks of speculation is coming to an end.

The Speculative Locations  are:

1) Marina Bay Golf Course – I hear that a lot of golfers are praying very hard against it, as they don’t want to lose a decent golf course.

2) Marina Bay Sands Casino

Btw, Sands got this piece of land at 1.2 billion dollars from the government. Will they let us have a part of it for $310 million?

3) National Stadium

The stadium is slated to be redeveloped into a new Sports Hub, but due to the financial crisis, the developers have sort of given up on the project, due to the high construction cost.

Will City Harvest be given a National Project to redevelop?

4) Padang

This iconic field has been the host of National Day Parades, Numerous Sports Events, and this is also where the British accepted the Japanese Surrender in 1945.

The Rumour is that we will develop the field, and have a auditorium was a glass ceiling, so that when the congregation looks up, they can see the stars!

Where do u guys feel the building will be at? Anything stories that are really mind-boggling?!? Do Share…

Well, for the rest of us, we are waiting for twitter to give us the location, when the 1st service kicks off in Jurong West in 24 hours time…

It’s coming soon….(excited anticipation!)

Pastor Kong Hee was featured in a recent CNA program called “Critical Fame”

Expounding on the effects of fame and why people value it, this program presents a sociological look at people and fame.

The program interviews celebrities like Kumar, Diana Ser, David Gan and others…

If you have not watched the program, you can click on the video below to catch the excerpts.

I think that it’s great that Pastor Kong Hee is so high tech, and always trying out new things!

Since he got onto Twitter and Facebook, we have seen him communicating with the congregation via this medium as well.

It was just featured in The Straits Times.

Tweet! It’s your pastor

A few churches are using Twitter and Facebook to connect with their flocks

WHEN City Harvest Church member Vanessa Sng needed spiritual advice, she did not just pray – she tweeted.

Moments later, there it was: ‘It is the work of God!’ tweeted back her pastor Kong Hee. Like most young Singaporeans today, the 20-year-old student uses Twitter, a micro-blogging service that sends short messages, or ‘tweets’, to other users online.

Followers tend to be friends and family, but these days, churches are taking to tweeting too.

The phenomenon has gained momentum especially in the United States, where during ‘Twitter Sundays’, congregation members are asked to tweet questions about the sermon for discussion afterwards.

But the online service is still in its infancy among churches here. A check on Twitter’s website found four with active accounts, set up as recently as two months ago. The churches – City Harvest Church, New Creation Church, Heart of God Church and Hope Church Singapore – use it to share short biblical quotations and activity listings once or twice a week.

And the online gospel is going further. A search on social networking site Facebook, which first introduced its popular ‘wall’, ‘poke’ and ‘tag’ features in 2004, turned up 67 profiles of Christian churches here. About a third were set up only this year.

The number of people following the churches’ Facebook and Twitter profiles online were a fraction of its real-life followers.

City Harvest Church, with 25,000 members, had 4,469 friends on Facebook and 1,359 followers on Twitter yesterday. Most were under 30 years old.

Pastor Seow How San of Heart of God Church in Eunos said Twitter enabled him to be a better caregiver to his congregation. Since the church began tweeting in May, nearly 800 of its 1,400 believers have signed up to listen – and tweet back.

‘It was a conscious effort to get people to use it,’ he said. ‘As pastor, I need to know how people are feeling. Now I know how they feel, how they think, even what they do, eat and drink. Having Twitter really helps if you have a big church.’

If you are looking for a Christian discussion on Masturbation…Yes..I said Masturbation!

Then, check out Ps. Kong Hee’s blog, as he discusses the topic!

It amazes me how Pastor is not afraid to discuss controversial topics like Masturbation, and yet write boldly about it on the Internet! (Strong Admiration for the mind of God )

It has really educated me about the topic as well…as I discovered that the bible has been inconclusive about the actual act, and Pastor’s deliberate attempt to end the post abruptly shows us that:

He wants us to decide for ourselves, and that there are dangers about the act! 

As I was surfing the Sun Ho’s Facebook fanpage today, i chanced upon her blog!

Just type http://sun-ho.com to see her brand new blog page!

Sun was back late last year, and I was just wondering what she has been up to!

Recently, I read Sandra’s blog and I realized that there is this really ugly rumour going around round that Ps Kong Hee and Sun Ho are getting a divorce!

I happen to know them personally, and I will like to say that these rumours are totally unfounded!

Ps. Kong is always on the phone with her and he is always flying over to America to spend time with Sun and Dayan. Personally, I think they are really loving and a really great couple!

I think it must be someone’s idea of a really sick joke to start a false rumour like this!

Anyway, i think this vblog is really cool, and I don’t mind trying the creme bule in New York!

It looks really “Yummey-licious!”
