Why do the leaders set growth targets?? cos we need to have a clear vision of what we want to achieve!

Dr David Yonggi Cho, who pastors the world's largest church says of his church's remarkable growth "The #1 requirement for having real church growth - unlimited church growth - is to set goals"

Let's keep our CG and the people within the CG in prayer during our QT!!

But more than anything, it is a milestone for Heart of God Church because Pastor A.R. Bernard is an international speaker and He speaks to large crowds.

He usually comes for Asia Conference or CHC services with at least tens of thousands in the congregation. Yet, he's coming to our church of about 1400. More than anything, Pastor Kong is also coming with him to Heart of God Church.!!

Don't MISS THIS for anything else! It's an opportunity of a lifetime!
Also, go out there and invite your friends for these services this weekend! :)
