Warmest greetings to you in Christ’s most precious name! The Lord has been good and as we are walking in the kairos time of the Lord there has been so many changes! I encourage you to read my blog (http://psdavidwong.blogspot.com/).

There are three things I would like to share with you.

Apostolic Program Intake 11

Two weeks of soaking in His presence during the Apostolic Program intake 11 was precious and refreshing. The end of this training marked the beginning of great exploits for many of the participants now MTI's alumni and friends.

This intake, once again, we are humbled by the Lord; seeing Him sending many ministers from 9 different nations to us. One of the alumni who returned testified, she once thought “What good can come from Malaysia?” Yet the Lord surprised her, that in this Apostolic Program, the Lord touched her and brought her to a greater height in her ministry.

22 alumni returned for Program B and 44 new participants signed up for Program A. Most of the Program A students was recommended by our alumni. In this short period of time, the Lord has knit our hearts together and a kinship was built. It gives me a glimpse into the future of what God has installed for us – to partner and take nations into His Kingdom.

World Harvest Church

For me and World Harvest Church, we have entered into another stage of ministry progress. Many of our hearts and emotions were not well prepared for it, though we know this is what it should be. God has sent me to establish another church which I helped for about six years during its pioneering and starting stage some sixteen to seventeen years ago. They reconnected with me again after many years of losing contact with each other. With prayers, revelations, and confirmations on both sides, so quickly I had taken up the challenge to accept the Senior Pastor position of The Vine Sanctuary at Bandar Sunway, Malaysia.

"No one has ever seen this, and no one has ever heard about it. No one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him." — 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NCV)

Indeed this is a new experience to me, my family and my church for me to be sent to be the Senior Pastor of another additional church. But God has been gracious to us, with many more responsibilities; there has also been greater outpouring of His grace and strength in all our lives. I foresee a good partnership between the 2 churches, so more people can be reached for Christ.

On another note, three of our Ministry Assistants, Monica, Jason and Jadeline were ordained as Pastors during the Graduation night of Intake 11, 2008. Our first son Ps. Jason, will be getting married with Ps. Jadeline on 28 March this year—another change in my family. Ps. Monica will be getting married on 9 May with Wilson Tan, a faithful follower of the Lord and a cell leader. So they are busy with preparation for this joyful occasion, as well as ministry.

Apostolic Program Intake 12

With much prayers and planning, Apostolic Program Intake 12 will only be held only around April 2010 to give World Harvest Church and The Vine Sanctuary the time needed to adjust to these recent changes. We have started preparing and praying to see many of you again in 2010, a greater outpouring of the Spirit as we soak in His presence. It is deeply embedded in my heart that the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will fill this whole earth like the waters cover the sea! I will continuously update you of the development for Intake 12. You can find the latest information on the website (http://www.worldharvest.org.my/GWS/AP/default.htm). Alternatively, you will hear from Ps. Jason who will be the Organizer for Intake 12.

All in my family, team and church greets you with the love of Christ. May we continue to look up to Jesus; the author and finisher of our faith. There is no recession in the Kingdom of God, there is only increase and expansion!

In Christ,
Rev. David Wong Kim
