Bethel’s Good Friday Combined Service

By Wayne Wong, Bethel Assembly of God

God displayed His miraculous power in our members’ lives.

It was a good Friday to remember at Bethel Assembly of God. Two members, Sis Anita Lim (Chinese Region) and Bro Adriel Chan (Youth Region) testified of God’s work in their lives. Through their testimonies, Bethelites saw the good in Good Friday.

Giving God the Glory

Sis Anita spoke about how God was gracious to her even though she lost her husband and had to raise her son alone. She also shared how God was her Healer and Comforter through various sickness and health issues. She marveled at how much God loved her during these difficult times, especially when navigating between Taiwan and Singapore.

Bro Adriel spoke about how God helped him

Bro Adriel talked about how God’s healing and presence was so real through the difficult challenges he faced when battling cancer, which started at the young age of 13. He shared how God came through for him during his discouragements, like a relapse or having to delay his studies. All in all, he was amazed by how blessed he felt through all these experiences. He has since decided to be a blessing to others by going into Nursing.

Without a doubt, Sis Anita and Bro Adriel’s testimonies brought numerous applauses among the audience. You could tell the 500-strong congregation was encouraged by their stories, which showed the resurrection power of God.

What a day to remember that Jesus is the center of our lives. Right from the beginning, congregants from the English, Mandarin and Youth regions began streaming in with radiant faces. We were so happy to see all the chairs arranged in the way similar to pre-COVID days. Thanks to the new SMMs, we were able to have a bigger seating capacity. This helped us connect with our friends and sit closer to them.

Worship and Word Time

A Good Friday service would not be memorable if it was merely fellowship with one another. We also had an electrifying time worshiping God. Bro Reuben Foo led songs like “O Praise the Name of the Lord Our God” and “For God So Loved the World”, which was powerful when the whole church sang it Acappella. Rev Dr Moses Pi (Executive Pastor, Bethel Assembly of God) preached from the Bible that Jesus willingly went to the cross for us. He volunteered to die for us when nobody forced Him.

Thank You Jesus for showing us You love us by dying for us. We love you!
