Word of Life in brief.

 Word of Life in brief.

My wife and I have been serving the Lord "full-time" since 2000..10 years now. For me I have been serving since 1995..never stop serving Him since the time I got saved. It was in 2003-04 that God begin to call us out of the place we were serving and to take this journey of faith with Him. We were at lost than because my wife was heavily pregnant and I was about to be promoted to Assistant Pastor then. But know so strongly God was asking us to obey. The Bible verses and stories that time that I kept hearing was Abraham's step of obedience eventhough he know not where or what awaits him. So we obeyed.
One year of praying and preparations..also taking time to raise our new born boy...we started seeking God for clearer directions.

God led us step by step in pioneering a new work called Word of Life, Johor Bahru.

Word of Life started on May 1, 2005 with a simple vision to disciple people and to empower people to pursue their God given "work" or callings.

For 4 years we went through many lessons in the school of hard knocks which today we realised was necessary to be where we are today- ready to do greater works. One thing we truely realised is God's awesome love and dedication to the people He gave His only Son for. In doing ministry, if we don't have passion for people and wanting to encourage people to walk with God, we are not doing ministry at all. God really really loves people.

It was in October of 2009, that we decided to stop all work to seek God for further directions as WOL was not breaking through. Nearly 5 months of being refreshed and lots and lots of prayer, God spoke to us through prophecies and in our quiet time that He is not done with WOL. He wants us to continue doing it and doing it at Impian Emas.

Impian Emas was where we were...until I got electrocuted and nearly lost my life. We left Impian Emas because the landlord of the premise we were renting could not guarantee us that the power leakage that was detected by the Utility board..was properly rectified. After that to hold the church together, we rented hotel ballrooms, and other facilities. It was a journey indeed..But God kept on speaking of a great future for WOL.

When God finally confirmed WOL again for this next phase, He said, He wanted us to go back to the place of defeat ..as He was going to give us victory (Isaiah 60). I believe WOL will grow and become one of the most dynamic and effective church in Malaysia that will touch nations !

God has called us to

:- LOVE HIM, LOVE PEOPLE AND LOVE LIFE

To Achieve that ...our mission as His Servants is to

:- Disciple every member to obey the Great Commandments and empower them to fulfill the Great Commission.

OUr desire is to reach our generation and those before with the Gospel..show them that they too if they allow God to flow through them, their lives will be transformed and will become purposeful. (Isaiah 60)

Word of Life is a Church of relevance and will be respected and loved by the community. It will be a place people from all walks will experience what LOVE is. Where the WORD is preached, taught and LIVED ..without any religious boredom. WOrd of LIfe is a place where people will discover God and discover their purpose...People will be empowered to LIVE LIFE as NO ONE is a failure..but the head and not the tail. Above only and not beneath..WE ARE BLESSED !

YEHA ! I am so excited at what God is doing and going to do ! Our future is so bright.

Come join us as we push forward into God's plan.
