Testimonies

I am a foreigner (from China) and had been working in Singapore for a few years. About a year ago, I was struggling with depression and chronic insomnia. Then, one day, a colleague invited me to New Creation Church for the Christmas service. Although the service was wonderful, I didn’t return the following Sunday.

However, I had left my contact details with a leader at the Connect Point. Later, someone from the church reached out and encouraged me to attend the first service of 2024. That day, Pastor Prince preached about Eutychus, and I remember thinking I didn’t want to “fall from the third storey,” but I still wasn’t sure what to believe.

I decided to call my mom, who has been a believer for decades and shared with her my experience. After our conversation, I decided to attend church weekly. I also joined the Grace Discovery classes where many Bible verses were shared. Initially, it felt overwhelming, but surprisingly, my sleep started to improve significantly.

A few weeks later, after a Sunday service, I picked up a salvation card at the Connect Point. For the first time, I prayed the salvation prayer. In that moment, it felt as if the air around me had become sweet.

Shortly after, my work visa was rejected. I felt like God had closed a door, and I couldn’t understand why. But I remembered a sermon by Pastor Gabriel on the Gospel Partner app, where he encouraged the congregation to keep thanking God even when things don’t go as planned. This time, I was able to say yes to trusting God.

It dawned on me that I had always wanted to pursue further studies. So, I started preparing my applications. I was also connected to a care group that prayed for me and encouraged me throughout the process.

Praise God, everything went smoothly, and I was accepted into one of the top three business schools in France to pursue my master’s degree!

Not only that, I recently brought my parents to Singapore for a visit. They were thrilled to attend service with me. What was amazing is that earlier in the year, I had a huge argument with my dad. But at some point, I realised that there were no more quarrels in our family.

It’s been less than a year since I came to New Creation Church, and my life has been completely transformed. Pastor Prince once said that when Jesus comes into your life, be ready to be lifted up. Now, I experience God’s favour every day, and I am truly blessed by His goodness!

I invited both my parents to the Mid-Autumn Celebrations this year, even though they both live in Malaysia. When I first invited them, my mom was strongly against the idea because their passports had expired, and she was worried that my dad would not want to walk far, as he has difficulty walking long distances with his walking stick.

After they turned me down, I partook of the holy Communion and committed everything into the Lord’s hands.

Soon after, my mom called back and told me they would try to renew their passports, but there was no guarantee they would be in time to make it for the event. I had peace that they would make it and continued walking in faith, purchasing the tickets in advance as if the Lord had already confirmed their attendance.

A week later, my mom called and told me that their passports had been renewed and their transport arrangements to Singapore were settled! I was excited and gave thanks to the Lord! A few days later, the Lord safely brought my parents here for the Mid-Autumn Celebrations.

At the end of the event, Pastor Mark called for anyone who wanted to accept Jesus to raise their hand. Many hands were raised, but not my mom’s or dad's. I was disappointed, but I knew in my heart that the seed of salvation had been sown in them.

The following day, I listened to the online English service at home to keep them company for one more day before they headed back to Malaysia. Suddenly, my dad asked me if he could listen to Pastor Mark’s sermons online! I was shocked. So, I played more sermons by Pastor Mark, and both of them seemed to enjoy them.

I also turned on the online Mandarin service for them, and when the altar call was given, I was so touched and surprised to see both of them raise their hands to accept our Lord Jesus!

All glory to our Lord Jesus! I have learned something: We should never doubt His promise but walk in faith, knowing that He will lead us through every situation ahead! Amen!

A few years ago, I lost a large sum of money in a scam, which caused me to suffer from panic attacks that developed into insomnia, requiring me to take relaxant pills to sleep.

I was later diagnosed with anxiety disorder and prescribed medication. My mood and emotions were unstable, and I suffered from side effects like burning sensations, constipation, and mood swings. After being given another type of medicine, my condition stabilised.

When I got better, I began to enjoy life again. However, I was not careful and got into social drinking and wrong investments with an old friend, losing a significant sum of money once again. The stress caused my chest tightness to return, and I was back on medication again.

But my health spiralled down further. I felt unwell in mind and body and frequently visited the emergency room. I also suffered from insomnia, sleeping only two to three hours a day. It was hard for me to drive, so my friend had to ferry me to church weekly.

My condition slowly stabilised and I tried to wean off the medication. However, it was a struggle as the side effects affected me mentally, emotionally, and physically. However, I continued to listen to Pastor Prince and all our pastors' preaching, prayed regularly with my care group leader, wife, and leaders from the Healing team. I also kept partaking of the holy Communion.

By the grace of God, I began to sleep better. My sleep progressively improved, and I was healed of many side effects. I could go on short trips overseas, attend care group meetings, and fellowship without problems.

Today, my health has been fully restored. I can now work and go on more holidays. I am still reading the Bible and listening to Pastor Prince’s sermons regularly. I also want to thank the Lord for preserving my job and family and providing for me during this period. All glory to Jesus!

I have been living in Australia for 15 years and started watching Pastor Prince’s TV programme about 10 years ago. I am very grateful to Pastor Prince and his ministry for how my Christian walk has transformed over the past decade.

Several months ago, my husband and I decided to visit our family back home in Singapore. My parents had turned 80 and had not yet received Jesus. I had been praying for them for many years. As our visit approached, I strongly felt that God would answer my prayer.

When I met my parents in Singapore, I sat next to my dad for two hours and was able to share a lot with him in English. This time felt different. In the past, he wasn’t interested in listening to me talk about God—he would shrug his shoulders, make excuses, and change the subject. However, this time he listened, and he even teared up when I reminded him how God had pursued him since he was a boy—when he attended church with his neighbours and spent many years at a missionary school.

That weekend, we visited my parents again for lunch after attending service at New Creation Church. We turned on Pastor Mark’s Mandarin service on YouTube. It was a random sermon since we couldn’t really read the Chinese text.

At first, my parents didn’t pay much attention, as they were focused on lunch. However, after my mom finished eating, she was drawn to Pastor Mark’s preaching and went to sit in front of the screen, listening attentively. In the past, she would not have shown any interest. My dad joined her as well. My mom even mentioned that she found Pastor Mark “familiar looking,” though I believe she was describing the warmth or anointing in Pastor Mark’s preaching. It was a divine moment when Pastor Mark made the salvation call at the end.

We encouraged them to pray together, and they did not resist! When the video ended, we invited them to sit in the centre of the living room while we gathered around them. I felt a strong prompting from the Holy Spirit to sing “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus,” and so my family and I sang the hymn over my parents. Afterward, I prayed for them. My dad was nodding the whole time. It was an incredible moment to witness, and I had to hold back tears.

Thank you, New Creation Church. You have truly made a difference in my life and the lives of my family. God bless you!

A year ago, we were anxiously waiting for the arrival of our third child. However, on the day of labour, we were told that our baby had no heartbeat. We were in utter shock and did not have the courage to speak to anyone, not even our own family. But thank God for ministry leaders and friends who came and rallied around to support us.

The subsequent days were challenging, but what sustained us was the Word. Each time guilt, shame, fear, or anxiety came, we meditated on verses, always finding a reason to remind ourselves of His love for us.

When our ministry pastor, Pastor Lian, visited us and asked if we still desired to have another child, we unanimously said yes. She replied, “Then let’s believe together.” Despite the trauma of stillbirth, the desire to have another child remained. We believed that He is our God of restoration and that He would bring it to pass.

On Sunday, 13 October 2023, during a time of ministering, Pastor Prince had a word for someone experiencing a spirit of grief. We knew immediately that it was for us. He continued, saying that the person had lost someone they loved very much and was unable to break out of that darkness. But the day of deliverance had come, and restoration was on the way.

At that instant, we felt a release. All the shame, guilt, and darkness melted away. We believed that we would not end the year feeling the same way we did earlier in the year. Indeed, the week after that service, we found out we were pregnant again!

Though the entire pregnancy was filled with anxiety and fear of what had happened before, we thank God for Pastor Prince’s ministry and our ministry leaders and friends who reminded us of His love. They encouraged us to not psych ourselves out of fear, but to replace those thoughts with God-kind of thoughts. We constantly meditated on His Word and promises, and kept ourselves in the love of Christ.

We were advised by our previous gynaecologist to consider inducing labour early by a week. In our hearts, we didn’t want induction but natural labour. We prayed to the Lord and left it in His hands. Our Lord was so sweet because we didn’t need to induce at all. On the morning of our last gynaecologist visit, my wife was already in labour. We rushed to the hospital from the clinic, and that same afternoon, with just three pushes, we welcomed our beloved child, beautiful Sophia Elise.

Indeed, our God is the God of hope, and His love never fails.
