Worship Concert 2016 While the evening of a public holiday eve (September 26, 2016) could have been spent elsewhere, a group of youth chose to spend it in the heart of Paya Lebar. Little did they know that they had come for the most happening concert of the year. Theodore Koh shares more.

hen the command was given (“DOORS OPEN!”), over 1,300 people streamed into the Chapel for a worship concert like no other. From the sights and sounds of dance and music, excitement and anticipation never left the room. It was the happening place that Sunday evening! We saw IGNYTErs plunging deep in evangelism and worship. Even before the concert, we had heard testimonies of how IGNYTErs overcame their fears and stepped out of their comfort zone to invite friends to the concert. It was this willingness to exercise faith that allowed us to witness an amazing 40 decisions for the Lord! From the first row of seats to the last, a sea of youth were plunging deep. It was incredible to see how they danced, praised, and lifted their hands, all in worship of the awesome God.

After guest artists Sarah Cheng-De Winne and her husband Mark De Winne shared their life-changing encounters with God, His presence was so strong that many were touched by His love. The altar area was filled with youth ready to respond to Him. IGNYTErs left not just with a powerful an encounter from God. There was a renewed sense of purpose of what it means to declare the name of Jesus. We’ve caught a glimpse of what happens when worship meets evangelism and it’s not going to stop here. We are ready to take what we have experienced that night into the world, plunging deep to make an impact on this generation. Indeed, our fuel is the love of Christ, propelling us to declare so that all may know that the One that we worship is the true and living God!
