About City Harvest Church (CHC)

City Harvest Church, or commonly known as CHC is an independent, Charismatic church in Singapore. Currently, we have an average attendance of more than 23,000 on a regular service. I must say that there are many positive comments on CHC, but at the same time, we also have a number of critics that are constantly "flaming" the church in one way or another.

There is a chinese saying, "when a tree grows big, it will 'attract' the winds ..." So there are many accusations that CHC is worldly, or preached a diluted Gospel, or we are materialistic ... etc. To be honest, I used to wonder why these critics never see many wonderful things that God is doing through His church by His grace and power. I would think that Singapore has become a better place because of the presence of God's church. [Now I'm hardly bother by the negative comments, cos' I take it as a sign we are still on the right track all these years. Moreover, usually the envious are the ones who complained.]

I always like to remind myself that CHC is a miracle of God. Who would have imagine a group of youths, led by "Bro Kong Hee" 18 years ago, could have cause an impact all throughout Asia today? We started with no money, no influence, no resoures, and not even the skills to run the church. All that we had is a heart that is burning for Jesus, as simple as that! That's why I say it is a miracle!

I like what Paul says in: 1 Cor 1:27-29
"But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence."

18 years ago, CHC (or even Rev. Kong Hee) are what we called the "foolish things", the "weak things", the "base things" and "things which are despised." The suitation and many people around did not give even half-a-chance for us to succeed. Many prophesied that we will close shop in 6 months ... etc.

But I like my God, He favors the weak to make them strong, He exalts the humbled to shame the proud, He used the foolish things to confoound the wise, because it is about His GLORY!

All these years in CHC, I can boldly say one fact, we are here, or I am still here, because it is all about JESUS, HIS GLORY and HIS KINGDOM. If CHC will ever be self-exalting, that will be the end, because no flesh can glory in His presence. However, if we grow from strength to strength and glory to glory, then we can conclude that God is still working in us and through us.

Thank God for His Amazing Grace!
