Renew Our Hearts // Reform the Church // Revive the City // Reach the Nations
It’s been amazing how God has led me here. About 7 years ago, I met Pastor Yoy Alberastine in a cafe to talk about worship and the city. We must have sat there for about 4 hours just dreaming about what it would be like if worship leaders across the city connected together. The spiritual […]

Read More ConvergenceI have just finished reading Wayne Cordeiro’s The Irresistible Church. It’s a great book and particularly relevant to me as I had spent several months looking for an “irresistible church”. Here, I extract Cordeiro’s third trait of an irresistible church: The third trait of an irresistible church, a church God loves to bless, is living […]
Read More Heart FirstWow, it’s been a number of days since my last post. I’ve had a pretty busy week leading up to a trial last Friday. I haven’t conducted a trial in ages so I was a bit nervous, but I’m glad to say that God is good and we won the case, with the Tribunal giving […]
Read More Pressing InI recently came across this video again and it really brought back some memories. Thanks Kelwin Wong for recording it. The context of it was this: we were determined to bring a “fresh” and experimental approach to worship. One of the joys of starting out a new thing (a new satellite service for our church) […]

Planted in the house of the Lord, they shall flourish in the courts of our God. [Growing in grace] they shall […]
Read More Finally Home!As you know, we have spent 7 months “shopping” for a new church. It’s actually a long time to be “homeless”; in a way, we felt like Abraham, setting out from the familiar places into unknown territory. Until 7 months ago, we had never really visited churches except for when we were overseas. Having now […]
Read More Church of Perth HighlightsI’m reading Wayne Cordeiro’s book The Irresistible Church at the moment and he lists the traits of a church that is not only irresistible to people, but more importantly, irresistible to heaven. So here they are: You grow spiritually at this church. You witness a strong sense of mission. You long to go to this […]
Read More The Irresistible Church“Church hopping” is a phenomenon, particularly prevalent in the early Charismatic movement, when Christians would move from church to church, conference to conference, to chase down the best teachers and the most, well, charismatic speakers. As a result, many Christians became dislocated; whilst they heard great teaching, there was no space for them to apply […]
Read More Church (S)hoppingToday, we see another phase of our journey closing off as Ling and I visited one last church before settling in to our new church. And what a great way to end this chapter! We visited Churchlands Christian Fellowship and were really impressed by the worship: very Spirit-led and engaging with a “mosh pit” full […]
