ST ANDREWS CATHEDRAL 2018 YEAR OF PRAYER
We are entering a season of Gods amazing visitation upon the church and upon the land. It s all because of God s merciful heart and unstoppable purpose. I believe it will be a visitation of the Lord that leads to radiant holiness, a bumper harvest of souls, righteousness in the land and a marvelous raising of Kingdom workers for the mission fields of the world (in keeping with the Antioch calling of the Church in Singapore). And I know that such a Visitation of the Lord is undergirded by a Church that gives itself to prayer and fasting.
