As promised, I shall now unveil the pictures of the new premise of Harvest Generation Church…. I shall take you on a tour with pictures and descriptions as though you were walking in the place in real life… Forgive me if the pictures are not so nice, I’m just a casual photographer… Without further adew, let’s begin our tour… *drum roll*
To start off the tour, I now invite you to our church premise. You would have to go through these beautiful crystal glass doors. It’s not so easy to clean them okay… So please keep your hands off it and use the handles to open and close it~! Haha~!
Now you are passing by the entrance aisle, the walls in this aisle are paneled with tainted glass. The lightings and the glass gives a very elegant feel to the surroundings as you enter the church… Soon, this area will be an information counter area.
As you walk in through the entrance aisle, right in front of you would be the lounge area. We had a few in-house designers pick out the colour themes, lights and furniture. The ambience of the lounge really gives a very relaxing and un-whining feel…
From the lounge, when you turn to the left and look, there you will see the stage. There’s a group of posers here in this picture to make this image look elegant… Just kidding… We were actually preparing for our Friday Night Church-Wide Prayer Meeting when I took these pictures…
This is the front audience view of the stage.. Just look at the fantastic way all the colours blend in together. Believe or not, we used the very minimum of lighting device to create all the colour effects.
This is the right audience view of the stage, notice how big the stage is? I usually try whatever little B-Boy moves I know on the stage because there so much room to experiment on~!
This is the left audience view of the stage. With the stage so big, even when all of us are on our instruments, it still looks rather empty. Praying for a choir to come in really soon… Haha~!
Now let’s move on to the stage. These are our church keyboards, the main is a KORG Triton and the secondary is a KORG X50. We have quite an bunch of anointed keyboardist in our church, so you better come check us out~!
This picture is of course my favourite view in church, other than looking to God la… It’s the church drum-kit, a Yamaha Tour Custom. A mid range set with a superb sound~! I fell in love with this set the very moment I played on it for the church album recording. In fact, this was the very same set I used for the recording… Haha~!
Next we move on to our amplifiers. We have a Behringer Bass Amplifier and a VOX Tube Guitar Amplifier with quite useable effects. Not bad for the price we got it. It’s power matched the size of the hall.
This is our very affordable but superbly warm sounded bass guitar. It’s an SX Bass with a nice warm wood finish for the case and the tail. The sound is superb for recording and also live playing, the downside is only its weight because it’s really heavy.
Now let’s see what the preacher and worship leaders see every service. This is the front view of the hall from the stage. The chair colours looks so elegant, it’s a wonder how simple things can do so much…
Next we have the view of the hall from the drummer’s stage. We elevated the drums with an extended platform. It does nothing in terms of making the sound better, but it just looks very nice… Now you know how the view is like behind the drum set..
This is the windows of church. At the time this picture was taken, there were no curtains yet, but now we have nice dark brown curtains to compliment the elegant corporate colours of the church premise…
Now we walk through the aisle between the chairs and move to the back of the hall. This is the entrance to the sound corner and also the church store room. The design of the sound corner is pretty simple, we just places a short swing door to partition it out. Then the entrance to the store room is so cun… Looks so oriental~!
This is our sound console, it’s a Yamaha 16-Channel Mixer, we joined two of these together so we have 32 channels to play around with. Our sound system is powered by two Wharfedale Twin Channel amplifiers with Wharfedale house speakers and stage monitors. Want more technical details? Come visit our church and I’ll show you around in person… Haha~!
Next we move from the sound room to the kitchen counter. This is the back right corner from the stage front which we have partitioned out to be made into a kitchen. The counter top is so high that some members of our church who are vertically challenged have a hard time looking over it… Ya, Ya… Me included la… Happy? Haha~!
From the kitchen, turn right and you’ll see the toilet aisle. At first glance it really looked like the Chinese ‘sun-toi’ (alter) to me because of the colour. Haha~! The walls to the toilet entrances are decorated with simple square mirrors...
The other wall is decorated with simple but elegant pictures. A small multi-level shelf is placed at the corner to fill up the space and make the ambience a bit homier…
Now that you’ve seen how our church looks like behind my camera lens, come join us in person some day to experience not just the warmth of the premise and the people, but also have an encounter with God. Our services are on Sunday mornings, at 10am. We also have prayer services going on every Friday night for this month. Any enquiries you can ask me here or you can email us at info@harvestgen.com. Looking forward to see you there soon~!
Project Report~! The car is now road legal~! I drove it around with all my engine stuff repaired~! I even got a new sound system, new spots lamps and other performance stuff for a bargain price~! Plus I got a superb Twin Sub Woofer for the lowest price you can imagine~! Now not only is my car powerful in terms of engine, but sound system also super cun~! The only thing left to do it to fabricate my boot top panel, collect my insurance documents and get my aircond serviced. Other than that, my car is all ready to hit the tar pavement~! Praise God~!
I hear the sounds of great happenings from a land far far away from here. Great happenings which can only be catalysed by a heart that has faith to do the impossible. Though obstacles may rise against her, she still stood strong in her believes and never compromised. Still don’t know who I’m talking about? Well, this girl in now doing her medical degree in UK. I’m proud to introduce you to the one and only, Khoo Wee Vien a.k.a. Wee Vee a.k.a. Wee Wee…
This girl has really done the impossible both in her hometown and also in UK where she is studying now. Let me tell you from the beginning how this small sized girl made such a big impact in my life and the lives of many others. It all began in the mid of 2004, when I first joined CampusCity, I heard about this thing called Get Into God rallies or GIG. These rallies were conducted to spread the good news to young people through concerts and workshops.
There was where I first came encounter with this girl named Wee Vien. She was a very quiet girl at that time, not many people saw the true potential in her until they got to know her better. I don’t quite remember how I met her, but I remembered how I got to know her.
As we were conducting GIGs in every other state, Wee Vien had a passion to bring GIG to her own hometown way up in Sungai Petanit, Kedah. When she heard that our team was willing to go up there, she was so passionate and zealous to organize and put everything together…
I know that I was not easy for her because she faced many oppositions from different people, some I’m ashamed to say that they are also Christians, but narrow minded ones la. Haha~! Despite such heavy pressure to cease this event from happening, she continues to believe and worked hard for it. We as a team prayed along with her and finally we brought a GIG team up to Sungai Petani in the year 2006.
Over 500 people came and many young people gave their lives to Christ for the first time. I really believe that it can only be God who orchestrated all this to happen, but Wee Vien chose to place herself inline with God’s plan and became a blessing to many. Did you know that now Sungai Petani is organizing their own rallies and a lot more people are giving their lives to Christ now? Praise God~! But it all began with one small girl’s faith to see the impossible happen…
She’s now in UK finishing off her medical studies, and believe it or not, she is really anointed to pioneer a movement wherever she’s placed. She started a small prayer group which was at first rather slow, but later on it grew and many more people were blessed. Now even a full fledge church there wants to back her up in her ministry. God is really working through her…
To Wee Vien… You’ve done many great things these past few years that have brought about many changes in many people’s lives. I believe that God has really given you the heart, power and anointing to perform what others may say is impossible. Your willingness and humility to listen and obey God’s voice really astounds me.
Don’t ever settle for what you have already achieved, but press on for greater things that are yet to come. Don’t stop dreaming and envisioning great things that you desire to do for the Lord. You may have a great pass, but the pass can never be relived… Pursue for even more for the future and you will see God’s hand moving in a great capacity than before.
Many people’s lives has been touched by the simplicity of your faith, therefore keep your heart simple before the Lord and allow Him to mold and shape you to be the person He wants you to be. The preparation for greatness may be very very painful and difficult, bu the outcome and the results will be much more beautiful than your mind can ever conceive.
New testimonies awaits for you to claim… Promises that are yet to be fulfilled... So live life to the fullest and always stay in the Lord in everything that you do. God’s plans are always the best for us in every aspect of our lives. All things are made beautiful in HIS TIME, so don’t rush or be anxious over anything, but in everything give thanks~!
Thank you for being a great friend to be… Thank you for always entertaining me when you’re online. Thank you for always sharing your heart out with me… Thank you for being such an inspiration to me… I truly admire your passion and persistence… Thank you for being a sponsor for this project but above all… Thank you for being a sponsor of my life… for all that you’ve done for me has made me who I am today… Thanks~!
That’s all I have for you people~! I’ve spent about 2 hours making this entry. I chose not to highlight much words for this entry because one of the sponsors complained that she could read some of the coloured words. You sponsors tell me what you think and the majority will win okay? Thanks for reading… Have a great week ahead and God Bless~!
