All Things New Rivers of Life Ministries is entering a new season, taking a new leap into the horizon: stepping up, moving out and believing with much faith to where the Lord is leading. As we take this leap of faith, we believe that God will make all things work together for good to those who love Him. There will be challenges ahead; however, God will complete what He has started.

HG19 / THE LEAP OF FAITH / FOUNDER’S ADDRESS
AND IT CAME TO PASS… To the partners and friends of Rivers, We greet you in the matchless grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. The phrase, “And it came to pass,” appears more than 2400 times in the King James Version of the Bible. It is a phrase that speaks of the integrity of God and His word, His promises of yea and amen over your life (2 Cor. 1:20). The promises of God will come to pass in your life (Josh. 21:45; Isa. 55:11; Matt. 24:35; Lk. 1:37).
2
When you walk in the Lord, His strength will undergird you and release a supernatural ability in your life in all aspects of your involvement. You do not need to struggle in the flesh. Speak faith and life over your circumstances. Pray strong that your destiny given by God will come to pass. Many want God to bless their plans, but God sees through the crowd for those whose hearts are loyal to Him (2 Chron. 16:9). He is looking for those who will align their lives and schedules to the destiny of God. This year, many of God’s promises came to pass in our lives and the ministry. We ministered in new countries prophesied over us. At the time of this writing, Angeline and I will be away to Berlin, Germany and Zurich, Switzerland to minister along with my elder brother Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj. This year has been the most significant year for me in my walk with God. The Lord blessed us with many spiritual encounters and a new phase of anointing and grace to minister the Word of the Lord with power and authority. The Lord connected us with new ministers and we formed divine partnerships with ministries. We have also opened a new office in the USA and have representatives in South Africa. As a church, we witnessed the foundational strength of God that stabilised the church and the leaders. The Lord added new people and leaders to the church ministry. This year we dedicated ourselves to build the church leadership for more significant growth and effectiveness.
So, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. 8
As a church, we desire God to lead us and to build His church His way. Our Lord Jesus promised, “I will build My Church” (Mt. 16:18). The Apostle experienced the leadership of the Holy Spirit to lead him where to go and where not to. God imparted wisdom and grace to Paul and he became a wise master builder in his own right (1Cor. 3:10). In the same way, we are trusting God in every way to lead us to build His Church, led by His Spirit. He will build His Church. We are to give ourselves wholly to the counsels of God and the training of His nature. The Lord Jesus is preparing His Church for this end times. As a part of the Body of Christ, we are determined to follow the leads of the Lord to fulfil the Father’s will. We pray that God will release His heart into you and your family to be part of God’s timetable for these days.
We desire to serve the Lord faithfully and train ourselves in the work of the ministry to reach out to the community. This includes growing prophetically in the Spirit and producing the fruit of the Spirit. Acts 16:6-10 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. 7 And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.

THE WALK OF FAITH IN THE UNKNOWN 4
THE UNKNOWN – GOD IS ALREADY THERE John 20:29 (TPT) 1
Jesus responded, “Thomas, now that you’ve seen me, you believe. However, there are those who have never seen me with their eyes but have believed in me with their hearts, and they will be blessed even more!” One of the trainings of the spiritual life is tuning your eyes to seeing God in the spirit. God will teach you how to walk in the unknown to the natural and that which is clearly visible in the spirit. It is training your spirit man to follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit in your life. On July 20th 1969, Neil Armstrong was the first man in the history to put his foot on the moon with his memorable quote, “That is one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” I was in Houston on July 20th 2019, when America celebrated her 50th anniversary of landing on the moon. While on the plane from San Francisco to Singapore, I watched the movie, “The First Man”. It was about the preparation and emotional sacrifices of the astronauts in their training towards landing on the moon. Its intensity gripped me. With many trials and errors, Neil Armstrong had to perfect his skills of landing a craft in the desert. The emotional upheaval and the challenges his wife faced were arduous – cause’ they were stepping into something no one has done before. Today, believers are caught in a similar spiritual vacuum. They read in the Bible about the faith heroes and the Book of Revelations about the Second Coming of Christ of the future, yet at times our stomach churn at the unknown. The way to handle these feelings of anxiety about the unknown future God has for us, is to neutralise it with the spice of faith and trust in God. We are nearing the end time which the Bible promised, prophesied through the prophets years before. It is about time the people of God develop our faith (2 Pe. 3:18; Ro. 10:17) in God, our ability to walk by faith (Ro. 1:17; Gal. 3:11) and to see with the eyes of the Spirit (Eph. 1:18; Heb. 11:27).
When you are afraid to walk by faith, it reveals a lapse in your building of faith and concept of God. A child walks towards the open arms of the one whom the baby is familiar with – taking baby steps with outstretched arms; the baby is guided by sight and voice. The baby walks and reaches the arms of the father or mother. In the same manner, develop your love for Jesus by growing in worship and the Word. The Word builds confidence (1 Jn. 3:21; 5:14) in your heart and worship will build the reality of God’s presence in your spirit (Jn. 4:24; Ro. 12:1; Rev. 4:10). God leads you to the new promises, assignments and new phases of His work for you by asking you to walk into it. Before tomorrow has even begun – God is already there waiting for you.
Trust God and walk into the future by obedience. The unknown in the natural becomes known in the spirit when you walk by faith. From fear, it becomes an adventure of obedience. God will surprise you with breakthroughs along the way to increase your capacity to trust Him. Once you cross the first stage, you will declare – God is faithful. Amen.

HG19 / THE LEAP OF FAITH / THE WALK OF FAITH IN THE UNKNOWN
A WALK OF FAITH Hebrews 11:8 (TPT)
Faith motivated Abraham to obey God’s call and leave the familiar to discover the territory he was destined to inherit from God. So he left with only a promise and without even knowing ahead of time where he was going, Abraham stepped out in faith. The walk of faith has a destination. God always leads you somewhere. Abraham reached the place which God told him to go with Isaac (Ge. 22:9). Many claimed they are walking by faith but even after years claimed they are not sure where they are heading. The question is, “Whom are you following?” Are you following God or your wandering soul?
God will lead you in different phases. At each phase through obedience, you will fulfil His purpose for your life. The Church will also walk through stages of anointing. At each stage, God will give the needed leaders to proclaim the gospel and establish His works. We need to keep stepping out in faith. It is vital to REFUSE to walk in the natural. REJECT worldly ideas about how the Church should be managed. RESIST the natural ways that defuse faith in you and make you weak. Any ministry accomplished with natural means and ability without the supernatural element of faith is rejected (Ge. 4:5; Heb. 11:6). Works done in your own will and convenience without the times and seasons of God is rejected (1 Sam. 13:8-15). God does not give us the little details to confuse us. He is our confidence (Ps. 27:3).
6
ONE GIANT STEP OF FAITH
When we grow up, our strides are longer. We are given a brief time before the coming of Jesus to fulfil the Great Commission. Let us be bold to take giant steps of faith to accomplish the tasks laid before us (Php. 1:6; 4:13). This level requires a unity of hearts.
A Church that keeps up with the drumbeat of the Captain requires training of endurance and persistence. Let us finish what God has started in our lives. I am amazed at what God is doing through us at present. Many of the prophecies spoken over my life more than 30 years ago are coming to pass now. I am stepping into the nations prophesied over me with a stronger anointing to prophesy over nations and to experience divine encounters of heaven. I am experiencing new divine relationships fostered to fulfil the mission of God.
UNITED TEAM WITH ONE HEART Joel 2:7-8 (AMPC)
7 They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war. They march each one [straight ahead] on his ways, and they do not break their ranks. 8 Neither does one thrust upon another; they walk every one in his path. And they burst through and upon the weapons, yet they are not wounded and do not change their course.
God is raising a new breed who walks with one heart and one spirit anointed with an end-time anointing prophesied by the prophet Joel. This army has risen above their ego, petty flesh and emotions. They walk in a supernatural love and united with the task of God. These men and women are matured and nurtured in the walk of the Spirit. We need to work with a team who has experienced brokenness and breakthroughs in the walk of the Spirit. These people walk with the fear of the Lord. Their goal is to see Jesus lifted up. They walk with a reflective journey with the awareness of the Holy Spirit’s convictions.
WALK ON – FINISH THE RACE Acts 20:24 (TPT)
“But whether I live or die is not important, for I don’t esteem my life as indispensable. It’s more important for me to fulfil my destiny and to finish the ministry my Lord Jesus has assigned to me, which is to faithfully preach the wonderful news of God’s grace.” God is training “finishers.” Many live in their past testimonies of what God did, but the Lord looks for people who live for present battles to overcome. Walk with God and finish the race. Be aware of the enemy’s snares both against your life and ministry.
Faithfulness is cultivated; it is not a gift. Walk humbly before God and men. Honour those whom God has placed to watch over your souls. We need to be a part of a team not apart from them. May the Lord bless you in this onward journey of your life as you live by faith and not by sight. Lovingly, in the service of Jesus my King,
Steven Francis

Worshiping in a barn church at Porterville, South Africa
On 21 March 2019, we were privileged to go to South Africa for two weeks of ministry. Our excellent coordinator Sister Barbara Cilliers, a woman with a great burden for South Africa, arranged meetings at strategic places at the command of the Lord. We ministered in churches in Durbanville, Picketburg, George and held a conference in Porterville. The meetings were powerful because our Lord Jesus presence was very tangible. His power and grace was present, with the Lord touching many lives. Many wept and cried as His love overwhelmed them. Through Pastor Steven, the Lord gave words of correction without condemnation, words of encouragement and love.
The Lord Jesus spoke through Pastor Steven with crucial political words for the nation of South Africa. Our coordinator informed us that many prophecies spoken have already come to pass. The people who came had a deep hunger for the Word of God that they respond joyously with shouts and claps to every statement made by Pastor Steven. Moreover, they travailed in prayer ardently to the Lord as He is their only hope. I saw many beautiful young girls and boys, fatherless and looking lost. My heart goes to these youths, and we prayed Psalm 27:10 over them.
Our most unforgettable sessions were in the Porterville conference. The conference was in a barn for three days. About 300 people from around Africa gathered, all hungry for the knowledge of God. It was unforgettable because the presence of the Lord and His anointing was present for the three days, sometimes like fire, burning away the dross from His people, and at times, sweet, healing and comforting to their hearts and souls. We felt part of the family of Christ. We were so at ease as we led worship in Tamil and danced in their praise songs. The Lord spoke in my heart to give an exhortation on Love and Forgiveness. The message touched many who were struggling with emotional issues.

Another unforgettable experience was that we were invited to speak in a Christian radio station anchored by Pastor Hilton Langeveldt in the town of George. Pastor Steven gave a short exhortation while I prayed over the nation. The strong presence of God surrounded us. Finally, the Lord rewarded us for our fruitful ministry. One was a Safari trip to see lions and other wild animals right in front of our eyes as we sat in the jeep. We visited Table Mountain and admired the beautiful creations of God. Also, we had an enjoyable motorcycle ride with some of our dear South African brothers and sisters along the countryside of Capetown. As we delighted ourselves in the Lord, He certainly gave the desires of our hearts. I thank God for giving us obedient hearts. Hallelujah! With much love, Angeline Francis

More than 200 children were ministered, fed, received school bags, slippers and school supplies as game prizes.

I praise and thank the Lord as He allowed the Filipino ministry to set out for a trip on 23rd of May, 2019. The team went to Polomolok, Philippines, to minister to children through the means of feeding and giving away schools bags and slippers. Parents accompanied their children and sat through the programme prepared by sister Judah Lyne and sister Berben Barientos. After sister Judah shared, she asked, if they want to receive Jesus as their Lord and personal Saviour. Many raised their hands, including their parents. Wow, such joy we felt! Praise the Lord! We were also privileged to minister to two local churches, youth ministry and also conducted a worship ministry workshop in a short time. We couldn’t have done it without the support of our home church, Jesus My King Church. It is not just the team who did the mission but also those who supported us financially, by prayer and by donating school supplies and toys for the children. Indeed we are together in the spirit. Thank you, Lord, for your grace and favour. By Judah James Diamante

KINGS GENERATION @ KLUANG 21 to 22 JUNE 2019
On the 21st and 22nd June 2019, a total of 25 of us made a trip to Kluang, Malaysia. It was a significant trip, and It was our very first overseas trip as King’s Generation. The theme was “Disconnect to Connect”. It was a great time to disconnect ourselves from the internet to connect with God, His creations and with friends. We had a great time of bonding, games, worship, prayer and even a time of sharing by Pastor Steven! There was a tangible presence of God throughout the entire trip. We woke up the next morning with a mission - to climb and conquer Mount Gunung Lambak! We learnt how to problem solve, to be patient, and to wait and watch out for one another which required teamwork and endurance. It was indeed an unforgettable experience for all of us!

OPEN HEAVENS PROPHETIC CONFERENCE FUKUOKA, JAPAN 29 APRIL to 7 MAY 2019
On the 1st of May, the people of God from 15 nations gathered in Fukuoka, Japan for the Open Heavens Prophetic Conference. It was to be a unique assignment, organised by Ps Sarah of Open the Nations International; where delegates united in praying and interceding for Japan. Ps Steven shared that even the timing of this prophetic conference was divinely orchestrated to coincide with the beginning of the new imperial era “Reiwa”. As prophesied by Ps Steven, surely we had encountered the baptism of God’s fire and power, pulling down strongholds of fear and intimidation. He pointed out in Matthew 11:12: “The Champions shall take (the Kingdom of God) by force”. Indeed, the banner of prayer was raised as the believers united in faith toiling the ground, seeking the Lord’s hand to raise men and women of authority, to establish the Kingdom of God in Japan.

A total of 16 of us from Jesus My King church joined in this mission, working with Ps Sarah’s team to facilitate this conference. Both of our teams share the same ministry name- Rivers of Life- and we did serve well together with the same DNA. I experienced great joy and fulfilment serving with this team, as each stepped up to fill whatever gap, no matter how small. Some had to take on multiple roles from worshipping to dance to media duties; some had to surface their Japanese language talent during registration, more hands extended to manage additional books for sale and additional photography coverage. Our worship team led the delegates in a Japanese worship song; our dancer expressed awe at the move of the spirit demonstrated as they ministered unto the Lord in prophetic dance. The fellowship of the team continued after service. We had a bonus night of dinner fellowship with our Japanese team, giving thanks amidst much laughter. Even the testimony sharing time was ‘elevated’, with James’s guitar accompaniment in the background! As the bride of Japan awakens, I pray that they will continue to stand upon the victories and carry the prayer anointing that has been released, continuing to declare what Jesus has spoken through His prophet in this conference: Isa 49:25
For thus says the LORD: “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken, and the prey of the tyrant be rescued, for I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.

PROPHETIC SEMINAR SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA 29 AUGUST to 2 SEPTEMBER 2019
On the first two days of the trip, Pastor Joseph and his wife Pastor Christine from Church of Lord’s Love and Power hosted the ‘Prophetic & Calling In The Last Days’ Seminar. This meeting is the first prophetic seminar of its kind to be held in this area, and we have more than 50 people from different churches gathering to hear and learn from Pastor Steven. On the final day, we were hosted by Grape Garden Church, Incheon, where more than 60 pastors from different denominations gathered together. Pastor Steven shared passionately about the time and season which we are living in, instilling a deep sense of urgency, urging everyone to prepare their hearts and minds for what is to come in the days ahead. ↑ Dr

Many of the pastors who heard the urgency of the end-time message for the first time responded and came forward to receive prayer. Pastor Steven prayed and prophesied over every single one of them. The presence of the Lord was tangible and powerful throughout; most of them fell under the power of His Presence. The Word of God says in Isaiah 55:11:
“So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” (ESV)

The 2019 USA Prophetic Convention - “God’s Word To America”, was held in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania USA on 3 - 7 July 2019. More than 1000 delegates from the USA and other parts of the world gathered to participate in this life-transforming event. We had the privilege of hearing and learning from Brother Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj, Dr Bruce Allen and Rev. Dr Steven Francis. They bring forth the Word of the Lord to this nation. Everyone present were exhorted and counselled through the teachings and had their lives realigned, cleansed and set apart for God. As we are in a season of shifting, transiting from the church age to the kingdom age, absolute loyalty, faithfulness and obedience are the cardinal characteristics we need to develop to survive and to overcome the reign of the antichrist. Throughout the entire convention, the presence of the Holy Spirit and angels were undeniably evident, bringing people to their knees into a time of repentance, rededication and restoration in our walk with God.

“We are building ourselves to be God’s dwelling place. Therefore, we should build one another for God’s dwelling place to be established on earth.”
Being consecrated is an act of worship. Preparing God’s people to meet with the Lord and presenting each one as an offering before the presence of God has been the heart of the conference. As His people bowed down, the glory of God was revealed to many; one cannot help but kneel and worship the King.

Lifting up the name of Jesus is the main focus of the conference. Hearts transformed, renewed and restored were the results of drawing near to God. In these last days, God demands His people to love one another and to seek His face continually. The blessing we received is not in the material things but the knowledge of God knowing that He is a good God.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR LEAD PASTOR On Friday, March 15, 2019, Pastor Steven Francis graduated with a Doctorate in Ministry from the South Asia Bible College. This doctoral program is an extension of Assemblies of God Theological Seminary (now AGTS Evangel University), Missouri, USA. This Seminary is an Asia Theological Association approved course of study. This course started in February 2013, where for every four months, Pastor Steven had to attend classes for a week followed by assignments. When asked, Pastor Steven said, “It was a period of burying myself in books, managing church ministry, travelling for missions and family. I thank God for giving me an understanding family who have given me space to study and to travel regularly for classes. Thank God for the church leadership team for their support in covering pastoral duties and for regular prayer support. I cannot believe how I was able to study through and finish the assignments, especially the last two years have been spent on researching and writing, which required travels to Malaysia for research. God provided me with the blessing of a dedicated team that assisted me in the final phase.”

HG19 / THE LEAP OF FAITH / SCHOOL OF WORSHIP
LIVE OUT THE LIFE OF WORSHIP SCHOOL OF WORSHIP trains end-time worshippers who desire to give their all to Jesus Christ our King. Learn about the different facets of God through prophetic worship teachings such as INTIMACY, WARFARE, OBEDIENCE and VOICE.
32
INTIMACY
WARFARE
Moses walked with God and talked to Him face to face like a friend. This is one of God’s mysteries, that if we seek Him sincerely, we will surely find Him. We need to hide ourselves in the secret place to seek God and to hear Him. Intimacy is learning to be open and truthful in that secret place with the person who we desire to have a deep relationship with - God Almighty.
Waging war in the spirit through worship brings about victory in battle physically, mentally, emotionally, morally and spiritually. When we worship, God releases His angels to fight the war with us. Our battle is not of this world but in the spirit. We need to hear the voice and the Commander to know the schemes of the enemy and to fight against it through worship.
| To seek His face
| To heed His command
OBEDIENCE
VOICE
Worship is to build a place where the glory of God will dwell. King David said in 1 Chro 17:1, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.”. If we want God to manifest His awesome presence, we must obey by doing what God desires - to build Him a house.
John the Baptist was trained in the school of the spirit in the wilderness for 20 years and did His ministry for 6 months as God’s mouthpiece as the “voice crying out in the wilderness”. We need to be trained by going through the refining fire of God to be His mouthpiece for truth, as it requires purity and humility.

Good Friday presentation by King’s Kids
According to Mark 12:30-31, the vision for our pre-pri group is for every child is to be a disciple of Christ; our mission is to train our children to love the Lord with all their heart soul, mind and strength and to love others as themselves. The teachers are determined that each session brings the children a step closer to the Lord and deeper in love with Him. We teach them to worship in their child-like ways, to delight the heart of God! We encourage them to pray for their friends who are sick and to trust God for healing. Our desire is for our children to see visions and encounter the Holy Spirit personally, so there are sessions of entering into the secret place of the Most High and waiting on God. As for engaging with the Word, the teaching curriculum from DiscipleLand brings to focus the goodness of God through the lens of His love for them individually. The craft items created in each lesson serve as a talking point for the children to share learning experiences with parents, whilst the weekly updates through the parents’ chat group allow the parents to continue working with the children after Sunday School is over. Teacher Grace Yong
Primary group
We aim to teach the children of the primary group on prayer, worship, spiritual warfare and end-time living. To strike a balance between teaching bible knowledge and spiritual life, we segregate our lessons by teaching on spiritual living. Also, a bible character trait is taught and emphasised each month, with the children given a beautiful handmade card with a memory verse. Teacher Deborah Lau

On the 4th of November 2018, we were graced to pioneer the Tamil Ministry in Jesus My King Church. In line with the vision of the ministry, we have been reaching out to the Tamil speaking community. Since the launch, we have regular Tamil worship services on every 1st and 3rd week with prayer meetings on the last week of the month. We are also reaching out to the Geylang Indian community through the door to door tract ministry. Some of those we reached out through giving out of tracts started to attend our services. We started the Tamil cell group in Chua Chu Kang and Yishun area to build bonds and also to equip the people for evangelism. There were many phone calls for prayers since the inception of this ministry; we visited hospitals and houses for prayer, worship and sharing the good news. The people experienced the power of God falling upon them and testimonies of salvation during house visits. Glory to God for giving the vision to Pastor and the leadership. We thank the Lord for this privilege to serve His people. By John Vinod Baskaran

Every Nation Church I joined this course as I wanted to discipline myself for godliness further. (1 Timothy 4:7). This course is structured in a way that requires me to practise the spiritual disciplines of worship, prayer, fasting, journaling and bible study, alone as well as with my brothers and sisters. During the course, the spiritual disciplines took me deeper into the glories of the knowledge of Jesus Christ, and further stoked the inner longing to know God more (Philippians 3:10).
42
The past three and a half months of my journey studying in KCOP has significantly impacted my spiritual growth. I sat under the teachings of different speakers and The Holy Spirit revealed to me how each of these teachings related to my life. It is like the picture of my life’s jigsaw puzzle being pieced together. All in all, the course has been so enriching. After a long day’s work on Wednesday, I always looked forward to my lessons at KCOP as they energised my soul. I believe our journey as disciples will never end. It is like what Ps John Daniel said, we will never graduate from being a disciple of Christ.

Regardless if I was impulsive to sign up for the course since it is the last batch, God is gracious to see me through each reading and writing assignment as I am a slow reader and not an avid writer. It is a blessing to have lecturers who are passionate as they share their spiritual walk with God, which is inspiring and also classmates who share various resources to enhance our learning experience.
The KCOP course has enriched my knowledge and spiritual life. It opened up my eyes to see and my mind to know how real and mighty our God is. At the same time, it also made me realise how little I know about our Abba Father. This feeling increases the fear of God in me, and it also causes me to yearn to seek Him more. I enjoyed every session of the course, especially the module on worship as it made me realise the importance and power of worship. I thank God for leading me into this KCOP course, allowing me to know more about Him and His plans for us through His very anointed lecturers. All praises and honour to you, Lord Jesus.

St Andrew Cathedral This year’s turning point for me has been attending The King’s College of Prophets. My spiritual life has been enriched in a new dimension which has been opened for me. I have learnt things I have not learned and heard things I have not heard. I anticipate every class and the words that fell from every speaker. I hope that one day, my faith will be tested and proven genuine of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire. 1 Peter 6.
KCOP is a Spiritled school, the course subjects and assignments are Spiritled. I feel like I am being raised under balanced and powerful teachings; I am so blessed and anointed by studying here. The course has helped me see the things of God clearly and correctly. It has prepared me for things to come and shaped me to be more like Jesus. It has given me an unshakeable foundation to carry out prophetic ministries. My spending time in fasting and prayer though much challenged, greatly encouraged and pushed me to the next level of intimacy with God, and to the next level of prevailing in spiritual warfare. Each lecturer has his massive strength in the Kingdom of God, I can learn things that are so much valuable and vital for my life in serving Jesus.

If only there is a course after office hours that teaches me to grow and experience more of Jesus, that would be so good…” I thank the Lord Jesus for leading me divinely to last “live” KCOP class! KCOP has taught me so much about servanthood and also about how I can hear God. The great examples shared makes me understand and relate with my real life. I am inspired and my fire for the Lord Jesus is revived. Thank you so much KCOP and team!
Jennifer Chew Hong Ngoh
Jesus My King Church Thank God for this divine appointment for me to attend KCOP at this season. I have this prompting in my heart that I have to go for it now. Thank God for sending such endearing, God-fearing and anointed lecturers who have instilled in me greater discipline in pursuing deeper intimate relationship and knowledge of who God is. This course has helped me to exercise spiritual discipline of prayer, fasting and study of God’s word.
Hing Hwa Methodist Church At the beginning of this year, I found that I have reached a plateau in my walk with God. I realised that I needed extra help in my spiritual journey. A friend then introduced me to KCOP. Since joining the bible school, I have no regrets. Through the passion of every lecturer, we are motivated and encouraged to soar higher in our spiritual walk. Doing my assignments have been a big challenge but God has been good and I was able to complete them. The only regret is that not enough time was given to cover many of the topics presented. I thank God for using Ps Steven and the other lecturers to speak into my life. All glory to God!

Bethesda Bedok Tampines Church KCOP is an intensive course which demands the commitment to learning and practical training. It is not like an ordinary theological course as it concentrates in stirring deep thoughts of the hearts of the students. One’s heart has to be opened to receive its imparted richness from the anointed instructors and the assigned books for the essays.It was by God’s amazing grace that moved me through a dream to join the course. Only after some months through the course, I discovered the perfect plan of God as I see the spiritual fruits that were available to me in joining the course. The dream, my practical ministry, and my life’s trial, all fit. I was surprised and spiritually blessed. Praise the Lord!

Lighthouse Evangelism The Diploma in Prophetic Ministries’ lecturers is very specialised and knowledgeable in their course modules, which enhanced the quality of the teaching and lessons. Our spiritual bonding and unity among classmates became strong as we are all focused on loving one another and also inspire each one to serve God faithfully. The lecturers were open to sharing their spiritual journeys, their ups and downs and their relationship with God. Their testimonies provided much impetus for the students to strive to walk closer with the Lord and do His bidding.

KCOP has brought me into deeper waters with the Lord; refreshing my soul and enriching my spirit. Through the readings and assignments, the Lord revealed a new understanding as I revisited past truths and studied the Word even more. The classes gave me practical guidance that I can relate to and apply in my daily life. It has been a season of God’s grace and enduring love in giving me opportunities to grow in maturity and strength. I came to this course hoping to be a stronger warrior of Christ in the end times and to be equipped in the prophetic ministry. I am very thankful that the training experience has sharpened my discernment and prompted me to take up the purposes He has for my life. KCOP has been a spiritual milestone for me; convicting my heart and mind to be in deeper fellowship with Christ and to live in the life of the Spirit. Truly the Lord makes known the path of life; in His presence, there is fullness of joy, at His right hand are pleasures forevermore (Psalm 16:11).

Jesus My King Church Attending KCOP is a decision I won’t ever regret. The returns on investment in this course with the time and money I had put in is so invaluable, and I know I will continue to draw lessons from it throughout my life. The King’s College of Prophets is not just a place to learn knowledge, but it is a Holy Spirit-filled incubation pad where God prepares the hearts of those who are hungry and willing. The sense of anticipation was evident in all lessons; in each lesson, the presence of the Holy Spirit was tangible. Every lecturer impacted me powerfully in so many ways, they do not just teach, but they came wholeheartedly to impart what they had personally encountered and what the Lord had taught them in their walks. I am humbled and excited to be a student in the King’s College of prophets, and I am so thankful for the friends I have made here and most of all, to be a disciple of Christ.

Jesus My King Church I thank God for making it possible for me to attend KCOP, as well as for Dr Steven and anointed experienced teachers for their resources and teaching. The past months in KCOP have helped me in my discipline with my walk with God. It has inspired me to spend more time praying and studying God’s word and applying it in my daily life. The books and assignments have strengthened my foundational basics and helped me to reflect upon my spiritual growth. It is indeed, a lifechanging experience.

Fruitful Vine Church The knowledge I gained from this course not only increased my understanding of spiritual walk with God but also helped me to be a better servant of God. The lecturers imparted lessons with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. My life is being transformed by all the spiritual disciplines that we were required to go through. The friendliness and helpfulness of the course manager and the students in the class warmed my heart. I give thanks for all of them.
I wanted to learn more about how God speaks to us, but books or articles I have read did not satisfy me. During KCOP classes, Stephen Powell taught me that the focus should be on intimacy with God. As a result, I now hear God speaking to me in various ways. Ps Steven Francis told us that as a very young Christian, even before he became a prophet, he kept on praying Eph 1:17, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give him a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. He prayed the prayer every day, and many times a day. I learned that to experience and encountered God’s manifest presence, I need to pray for it every day, and many times a day.
Angeline Willson Jesus My King Church
Thank God for His goodness and guidance in my life. I’m thankful to have an opportunity and being part of a team in learning the prophetic studies. I have learned how to intercede and to be a more spiritual disciple. Thank God for powerful lecturers being open to share their wisdom without any limitations and sharpening our spiritual man. This journey has certainly been fruitful, exciting and thoughtprovoking. Thank God for the friendly and kind staff of KCOP course. Without any doubt, this course has strengthened, humbled me in many aspects and made me grow stronger in walking with God. Praise God.
My journey for the past eight months with KCOP has been very purposeful and meaningful. I started KCOP without knowing that this would be the last batch to be conducted in Singapore, and without knowing that I have to meet deadlines and keeping a log of my daily activities. These months were very precious moments of reflection on my life and my journey with the Lord, they were moments of reconciliating myself with the Lord; knowing that He is in the making of me and His plan for me on this earth, which I struggled for years to seek for an answer. KCOP is not the end of my learning journey; it is the mean of leading me to continue the remaining of my trip with the Lord more purposefully.

THIS IS YOUR PITCH AND ROLL OPPORTUNITY It is my joy in being able to write a congratulatory note to the 2019 King’s College of Prophets graduates. The time you have invested these past several months will pay both short and long term dividends. The question now is what will be the next step in your journey? This year marks the 50th anniversary of man’s stepping foot upon the moon. The trip took three days and covered approximately 240,000 miles. Did you know that the Apollo 11 had to execute a precise manoeuvre known as a Pitch and Roll, 12 seconds into the 3-day flight? Failure to do so would cause the rocket to miss its target. What are God’s plan and goal for your life? I would encourage you to take advantage of your recent experience at the King’s College of Prophets by taking stock and reflecting on what you learned. Revisit and meditate on your course material; you can even make it part of your daily devotional. This is your Pitch and Roll opportunity to help ensure you have a proper trajectory in going forward to hit the goal and target of your high calling (2 Tim 4:7). I would like to thank you, the graduates, as well as the leadership of the King’s College of Prophets for the privilege of sharing in your journey.

REVEAL THE FATHER’S GLORY PRESS ON, KEEP PRESSING ON! Dear graduates of KCOP 2019, congratulations! For the past several months, you have worked hard and explored the facts of the Bible and ministry. Kudos to Rev. Dr Steven Francis for this initiative and perseverance. Our God deserves to be known better, and you have done just that. You have a desire to serve Him, and it is only appropriate that you serve him more effectively. Our Lord and Master trained His disciples before he released them into ministry. The gospel must not only be preached but must be lived and demonstrated. May our good Lord Jesus Christ use you all to meet the people who are away from the Lord right where they are. May the Lord use you to transform their lives! Press on, keep pressing on! Do not stop learning. Do not be satisfied with what you already know but work hard to continue learning from the Word of God and the Spirit of God. Being confident about the call of God for your life, continue to refine it and fulfil it. Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you. 1 Timothy 4:14. Wishes and prayers,
Dr G. John Daniel
Dear graduates of College of Prophets, My heartiest congratulations to you all for completing the course. May what you have learned and received in the college help you actualize all the gifts and anointing that God has given each one of you to serve Him with. My prayer for you is that you will be raised up by God to be that long-awaited generation of sons and daughters who would reveal the Father’s glory in bringing restoration and freedom to all creation. “For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation for God’s sons to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to futility …in the hope that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious freedom of God’s children.” (Romans 8:19–21, HCSB) As you go forth from here, may the Lord fill you with boldness to preach the gospel of His kingdom with demonstration of signs and wonders, healing and miracles to all the world; and may great multitudes of people come to know and fall in love with Him because of your lives and ministries. May each one of you realize, live and fulfill God’s calling upon your life with great strength and accuracy. For such is a life welllived, fulfilling His purpose and bringing Him delight and glory. Great grace be upon you all!

I believe every one of you have gained much because of your obedience. The Lord will give you the wisdom that will dwell with prudence and the knowledge of witty invention (Prov 8:12). Make God’s Presence your priority and immerse yourself in Him, and He will guide you.
This is God’s Time This is God’s time to take risks; they may seem scary but are mandated by the Lord. You allowed the peace of God to guard your heart and protect you for this season to be creative and to advance His Kingdom. With unbending assurances, many prayers promise were bestowed by all the lecturers for you to walk worthy of your calling. God will place you purposefully and intentionally into strategic areas to expedite and birth forth new ministries and movements. You will find your place to shine. Be God-Confident. Dream Big and God can make things happen. The PRESENCE of the Lord and His FAVOR be upon all that you put your hands to do; God will open the doors to unlock your acceleration. He will lead you to the hidden treasures “This is the way, walk in it”. Properly position yourselves to experience the waves that God is sending to His People in this season. The Joy of the Lord will be our strength to carry us through.
Tissue Ministry One of the highlights in this last batch is the birth of the Tissue Ministry. The Holy Spirit birthed a new outreach ministry through one of our Batch 10 students. 5000 tissues packets were printed with scriptures on it. In less than 3 weeks, these tissues have gone to Malaysia, the Philippines, Lebanon and were circulated all around Singapore. In September, we reprinted another batch of 5000 tissues packets, this time in 4 different languages: English, Mandarin, Tamil and Burmese. We believe this Tissue Ministry is just the beginning of something new that the Holy Spirit is doing through the students. Looking forward to seeing how the Lord is going to use every one of you in the days ahead. Keep Believing; Keep Trusting; Keep Hoping.
Leaving you with this Gentle Reminder To handle yourself, use your head. To handle others, use Your Heart. May the Glory of God reside within you always.
