Understanding the Mystery of Israel (2019)

Praise God! I’ve now got the answers as to how I can pray for Israel. The teaching has inspired me to love Israel, the way God wants us to love Israel and to pray unceasingly for her and also study the Scriptures even more.

- Hong Boon Leong, Church of our Saviour

It refreshes my understanding and added dimensions to my understanding of Israel and the End Times. This is excellent. Need to teach this to the entire Body of Christ in Singapore, especially the younger generation also!

- Bernard and Lai Ying-Choo, Cornerstone Community Church

A better understanding of why God “favoured” Israel and what all the fuss is about Israel. A deeper knowledge about God’s redemption plan. This teaching has helped me understand more when I read my Bible. A lot of things that I read now make sense. Thank you!

- Marie Chan, Riverlife Church

I am enlightened on the importance of praying for Israel and why they should be on the forefront our minds too, beyond our own needs.

- Isaac Hong, Church of our Saviour

I have learnt the importance of really understanding God’s Word and His heart. I want to learn more about God and align my heart with His, because although He is at times beyond our understanding, His plans are always the best.

- Liew Guoxiang, Hope Church

 

Encountering the Person of the Holy Spirit

The teaching has helped me learn to relate to the Holy Spirit as a person and as a Friend and to build a relationship with Him… Now I have learnt that He desires to work in us to produce fruit, if only we let Him take over… Now I do not relate to the Holy Spiirt as merely a power source to tap into so that I can have victory in my trials, but as Someone intimate and always with me.

- Tan Yen Ni, Faith Community Baptist Church

I’ve learnt practical tips on how to walk with God and be led by the Holy Spirit.

- Amelia Tan, Trinity Christian Centre

The teaching has helped me learn how to walk with the Spirit and how small little things of the world can influence us and cause us to fall and go back to the flesh. It helps me to recognize the importance of constantly renewing our minds and sharpening our hearing to God. This course motivates me to continue walking in the Spirit, regardless of how many obstacles we face.

- Wong See Min, Faith Community Baptist Church

I now have a better understanding of walking with Holy Spirit as a Person.

- Lawrence Khoo, Bethesda Frankel Estate Church

 

The 7 Letters to the 7 Churches (2019)

Kay-Chong speaks as someone who has an earnest desire to help people grow in God. He is willing to share openly and give “brutally” honest truths to help us reflect deeply on our walk with God. I’m really thankful for these few weeks of listening to him preach.

- Lee Guang Rong, Trinity Christian Centre

An awakening to re-align myself to not just understanding what God looks for in His mature Bride but living it out while there is still time and not too late.

- Amy Tan, Church of our Saviour

The sessions and teachings have helped me to understand God’s heart for His Church and His people. They have helped me to examine my own walk with God, and see how I can align myself with His heart and purposes, especially in the End Times.

- Deborah Ho, Cornerstone Community Church

I’ve learnt so much from this series. Kay-Chong pulls no punches in explaining the passages – all the hard truths. It gives me plenty to take home and digest, and helped me greatly in my walk with God.

- Amelia Tan, Trinity Christian Centre

The sessions helped to look at our relationship with the Lord and the issues that are important for myself as a believer. They helped me to want to search the Word to understand more of the heart of God and to know Him deeper.

- Andrew Seow, Cornerstone Community Church

The teachings made me realize the urgency of the times we are living in and that He is coming soon. It stirs me to examine my own life and also to ask friends to come to study this together.

- Ruth Tan

 

Understanding The End Times (2017)

The teaching has given me a better understanding of Scripture, especially to be sober and to watch and pray. It motivated me to spend more time to study the Scripture and pray.

- Ng Lay Kuan, Bedok Bethesda Tampines Church

An awakening message of the times and seasons we are living in. This teaching has given me understanding of the will of God upon our lives, to walk circumspectly with wisdom and clarity..

- Jacquelyn Peh, Cornerstone Community Church

I’m very blessed and thankful for the expansion of the understanding, wisdom and depth in the Word. The revelation added layer upon layer, line upon line. It was clear and concise.

- Francesca Lok, Wesley Methodist Church

This teaching has opened my eyes to many misconceptions and has created a greater interest to know more and go deeper into His Word.

- Eadoin Lock, Faith Community Baptist Church

 

Growing in Prayer (2017)

Through the teachings, I have learnt practical steps to pray. I am often lost for words and praying the similar prayer over and over again. But now, with the list of Apostolic Prayers, it helps me to connect with God more intimately and easily while praying for my personal life, family/friends, ministry, nation and the issues in God’s heart as well! I desire to be disciplined in praying and reading His Word more delightfully and zealously!

- Marilyn Wong, Hope Church

I thank our Heavenly Father for the opportunity to hear and learn from Pastor Kay-Chong Yeo on Growing in Prayer. Through his clear teaching accompanied by the sharing of his own experiences I now have a better understanding on the importance and the effectiveness of prayer to enhance my spiritual life. I realised that I enjoy God more as I set a fixed time with Him.

- Michelle Goh, Church Of Our Saviour

It’s a refreshing way to look at the Bible as a big prayer list… Indeed, praying through the Bible using the apostolic prayers in the NT and the prayers in the OT will help me to engage with the heart of God, which is essentially what prayer is about. Through prayer I encounter the heart of God. May my heart be His sacred place of rest! I have been inspired to cultivate my prayer life to be not only a delightful habit but also one that brings delight to my Heavenly Father!

- Wong Yim Fun

In the past when I’m praying, I would feel frustrated if I can’t hear anything from God. After learning from this teaching, I would pause and listen. I feel very encouraged when I hear God’s response. It can be through a revelation or through His Word. My focus shifted. Not on wanting my prayers to be answered. Through praying, I receive God’s peace and joy. My focus is on God and I receive His peace.

- Esther Koh, Hope Church

 

Understanding the Book of Revelation

Having attended other teachings on the Book of Revelation, Kay-Chong’s teaching stands out in that it reveals the heart and character of Jesus for His Church and is not just a teaching on End-Time events. It has ignited a greater love for God in my life.

- Sharmaine Loh, City Harvest Church

I’m thankful for the Forerunner School on the Book of Revelation as it helps me to clearly understand the heart of Jesus Christ and His heart for His Church and Bride. I have gained a lot of understanding and I am longing to love Jesus Christ more deeply and appreciate more dearly what He has done and does for us.

- Peter Wong Meng Heng, Riverlife Church

The teachings opened my eyes and gave me a better understanding of the Book of Revelation.

- William Tang, St. James Church

Kay-Chong made the Book of Revelation much simpler to understand. The teachings were very insightful and were taught with great clarity. It now gives me great hope in the midst of challenges. Understanding the Book of Revelation also helps me understand the love and heart of God. It grips my heart with a greater urgency to prepare and share the Gospel. I also have a better understanding of who Jesus is.

- Esther Tang, St. James Church

 

Encountering Jesus

I enjoyed all the teaching sessions. They created in me a desire and hunger to know Jesus in a deeper way and to know His heart.

- Rachel Pang, Faith Community Baptist Church

I realised I know so little of my Savior and the Bible. The sessions were eye opening!

- Jann Aung, Ang Mo Kio Methodist Church

 

Understanding Israel

It is a blessing to be part of the class. I’ve been part of a prayer team, visited Israel, but I never fully understood my role as an intercessor, particularly for Israel or regarding the End-Times. Last Tuesday, we prayed as a team for Israel and we were excited to re-study Romans 9, 10 & 11!

- Liezel Rodriguez, Every Nation Church Singapore

It has opened my eyes to the reason for praying for Israel. The teachings have given me the ways and Scripture verses to pray.

~ Brandon Tennakoon, HIS Arrows Church

Through the teaching, I understood why Israel is special and why we have to intercede for her.

~ Corina Tennakoon, HIS Arrows Church

The sessions by Kay-Chong are of strong biblical truths. A very sound understanding of God’s heart, love, plans and purposes for Israel – past, present and future together with the End-Times. I found the sessions interesting and am very much encouraged in my heart and spirit by how God is using Kay-Chong and One Thing Ministries to teach these foundational and fundamental truths. I also learnt how to pray and intercede for Israel.

- Mani Nayudu, Paya Lebar Methodist Church

An eye-opener. I love it. Now I know one of the things we do is to pray for Israel as God mandated.

- Jane Foo, Bethel Assembly


Forerunner School Monthly
(previously “One-Year Course”)

The Sermon on the Mount (2016-2017)

Though I study the teachings on my own through readings and listening to MP3 recordings, I make an intentional effort to come for the sessions as it helps me to grow in the Message by hearing it ‘live’ and spurring one another in the discussion group. Kay-Chong also shares much insight through the teachings and it brings the Word of God alive to me.

- Lin Liang, Toa Payoh Chinese Methodist Church

The teachings gave me very practical handles to walk out the Sermon on the Mount lifestyle.

- Faith Lim, Living Sanctuary Brethren Church

 

The Book of Revelation (2015-2016)

Through coming to the sessions on the book of revelation over the course of one and half years, it has helped me develop understanding of the times and learn to hear the right voice. The verse in Rev.1:3 keeps comes back to me. It speaks of “…the time is near”, which means the urgency of the times. There are many voices trying to compete for my attention. I find that the key is to read the Word regularly, develop understanding and cultivate my relationship with God. This course has reminded me to dig deep into God’s Word and there is no short cut in developing a relationship with God so that I can hear the right voice.

- Tan Chor Suan, Orchard Road Presbyterian Church

When I became a Christian, the first two books I read were Genesis and Revelation because I want to know the beginning and the end. However, I could not understand the book of Revelation nor could I get anyone to explain to me clearly. I had many misconceptions about the book and I find it frightening because it talks about tribulations and the symbols of dragon, ten horns etc. When I came to IHOP-One Thing Ministries, I began to understand this book better. I began to understand this book as a book of victory for Christians and judgment for Satan and wickedness. In fact, I now look forward to the time when Jesus will return. Most importantly, I learnt about Jesus and who He is and I am not afraid to be martyred because I know I am going to reign with Him in the New Millennium. And this is my hope as a Christian. What I hope to do after the course is to share with other people about this urgent message. In one of my recent flights, I met an Australian and told him about the book and he was impacted.

- Teo Gek Lee, Cornerstone Community Church

I don’t really understand the book of Revelation and now I still don’t fully understand it. Coming to this course has challenged my pre-conceived ideas about Jesus’ return. I write songs and now most of my songs have the words “the soon and coming King”.

- Chua Ying Hwee, Hope Church

When I came back to my faith three years ago, I was asking God where to start from. Without me knowing, God has been leading me and He led me to this course. When I read this book previously, I felt fearful. However when I hear Kay-Chong teach it, I began to see things differently. It is through learning step by step – being disciplined to listen of MP3 recording, coming for the sessions monthly, and wrestling with the message with people that I grow and get fired up, especially in knowing the times and how God loves us.

- Peter Tan, Riverlife Church

Due to worldly influences, I found the book of Revelation scary to me with both extremes of good and evil. My pre-conceived idea of book of Revelation was that it is not necessary to read it. However when I came here for the course, it took away my fear and the deception caused by my world view of this book. I learnt that this book is about the revelation of Jesus – if we grow in knowing about the Person of Jesus, we will begin to know what is on His heart and His plans. When God removed my fear and deception, I grew in clarity and confidence in Him and His plans. Through the course, I appreciate IHOP-One Thing Ministries’ stamina and you are like my “front markers” in this marathon of pursuing and knowing God’s heart. I also resolve to grow into the lifestyle of fasting. As spurred by you to be a voice, I began to share with my friends and colleagues about Jesus and this book. In the process of sharing, I also grew in conviction.

- Goh Teck Pek, Ang Mo Kio Methodist Church



Here are what some past participants have to say about our previous 1-Day Seminar on the House of Prayer and Harp and Bowl:

“I now have a better understanding of the global prayer movement and why we do certain things, why they are encouraged, e.g. the flow between worship and prayer, praying the Word etc.”

- Ruth Lam, Hakka Methodist Church

“This seminar has totally re-written my understanding of what prayer and worship is all about. And I truly enjoyed the prayer and worship to God.”

- Colin Lim, Woodlands Evangelical Free Church

I was impacted by the teachings, especially that of being a lovesick Bride of Christ. There is power in the Word and we should let the Word be the foundation of our prayers.

- Koh Wei Ting, Cornerstone Community Church

I came to learn more about the model and structure, but I caught a deeper revelation of the heart of worship. I felt a release of stress from perfectionism and received the joy of soaking in the presence of the Lord together with His people.

- Leo Hui Min, Hope Church

The 1-Day Seminar teachings have deepened my understanding of the importance of prayer in our lives and my identity as a House of Prayer. I also gained new understanding of how antiphonal worship (like the liturgy that we do in Church during communion) was the model of prayer in Jewish tradition and in the New Testament Church.

- Ma Chung Wai, Church of our Saviour Centre

The 1-Day Seminar had informative, word-based teachings on worship and intercession (Harp & Bowl). It helps to capture the heart behind it.

- Loh Ya-Xin, Hope Church

I really have a deeper insight into what doing the House of Prayer means, and the principles and values behind why we do this. The clinic definitely helped in a big way for everyone to have a first-hand experience of doing Harp & Bowl.

- Isaac Ang, Trinity Christian Centre

This seminar revealed to me the specific purpose of worship and prayer in the House of God and how to rethink the way we approach Biblical prayer. The sharings were insightful and real, which makes it easier to understand and hopefully gain ground for application in the future.

- Ashleigh Lua, Church of Our Saviour

The seminar opened my eyes to the wider purposes of worship and intercession. Most importantly, it showed me the goal of ministry to the Lord. Last but not least, I saw how the Harp & Bowl model is instrumental in bringing heaven on earth in worship.

- Grace Gan, New Creation Church

The 1-Day Seminar was indeed an experiential significant journey adventuring into the model of the Harp & Bowl prophetic worship and intercession. It was also memorable time connecting with fellow brethren from various streams and culture coming together in a time of worship and prayer. A sure recommendation for every believer to be experiencing this revelation of connecting with the heart of God through worship and intercession.

- Jacquelyn Peh, Cornerstone Community Church

I am so blessed especially in the prophetic singing session. I have done it before in worship session but didn’t know what I ws doing. Thank you for today’s seminar! You guys taught me a lot about what prayer should be.

- Gracella, Gereja Bethel Indonesia

I’m am very blessed and equipped more by IHOP-One Thing Ministries. Thank you and God bless us with more and more with new revelation about House of Prayer and also God’s heart.

- Ling, Gereja Bethel Indonesia

Here are what some past participants have to say about our previous 5-day IHOP Internships:

IHOP Internship III (2015)

This Internship gives me a paradigm shift of what worship and prayer should be, and how it is at the core of who the Church is and what it does.

- Pastor Edmund Wong, CEFC

I’m really glad to be learning something that is the desire of God’s heart – how He meant for us to minister to Him, as seen from both the Old Testament and the New Testament. I am really glad to be learning HOW to minister to Him. ‘Cause usually what I am taught is how to minister to people. Singing and praying from Scriptures really help in our relationship with God!

- Neriah Tan, Hope Church

I came to learn about our identity in Christ and who Christ has intended each of us to become – a kingdom of priests. I grew to understand that Christ is not just coming back for believers but wholehearted lovers of Jesus who are intimately connected to His heart. My heart is stirred to live a life passionate for Jesus because He is worthy.

- Venus Sim, WORD Community Church

This Internship gave me more confidence in leading prayer and worship and how to sing responsively. My favourite part of the Internship is the Harp and Bowl Clinic where I learnt practical tips as to how to worship using the Harp and Bowl method.

- Samantha Chee, Hope Church

I learnt about the heart of God for the House of Prayer. More than just a structure or music, it’s about pursuing the heart of God. I enjoyed the fellowship with the people during the internship. The hands-on sessions gave us a feel of how the model works and how we can apply this model to our own Church. I recommend all who has a heart for the House of prayer to come for this internship!

- Edsa and Leire, Lifesong International Christian Ministries Inc. (Philippines)

During this internship, through the teachings on House of Prayer the spirit of the Tabernacle of David, I learnt about the heart of worship and the importance of worship. Even though we learnt so much over the internship, it just feels that we have just scratched the surface and creates in me a longing to know more, sparking me to read up the Word more. The Harp & Bowl Clinic were very useful – I got to practise and go through the worship sets. It gave me an experiential learning of the Harp and Bowl model that was taught. Marcus also gave us individual comment on our team dynamics etc and I felt that it was a really personal touch and encourages us to keep pressing on. Through this internship, God reassured me about gathering together for prayer and worship, simple as it sounds, yet this is on God’s heart and it is really about drawing near to the heart of God.

- Julia Teo, Bethel Assembly of God

It’s such a joy to be a part of what God is doing and raising up in these last days. Prayer is on the heart of God and I so much want to be a part of this House of Prayer movement that God is raising up because I believe it is fulfilling a critical role, particularly in these last of last days. And more importantly, I want to be connected to people who share the same heart, who desire Jesus more than anything else, who desire intimacy with the Lover of our soul. What IHOP – One Thing Ministries has put together for this internship is awesome and I encourage everyone who has a burden to move and understand this dimension of prayer, worship and harp and bowl coming together etc – to go through this internship program. I’m greatly blessed by the learning, blessings, and imparting of spiritual graces from the team and the Lord. It was amazing to see different believers from different churches moving in unity led by the Spirit of God. I can’t believe within a couple of days, new things are birthed and has motivated us to move more deeply in the heart and spirit of prayer and worship. This internship gave me a foretaste of what day and night worship with prayer will be like.

- Allan Phua

This internship has helped me enhance my prayer life and to go deeper in my relationship with God by using Apostolic Intercessory and Biblical prayers through the Harp & Bowl model in worship. I am also very inspired and motivated by the benefits and purpose of using Apostolic Prayers and resolved to memorize these and pray in alignment to God’s heart desire.

- Doris Chin, Christian Assembly

This internship has made me desire to have a deeper intimacy with God. It opened up my eyes to the wonders of praying with God’s own words.

- Isabella Ong, New Creation Church

I caught God’s heart for prayer and worship in a newer / fresh way, and also this internship sparked an interest in pray-reading the book of Psalms. God spoke to me about the simplicity of devotion and intimacy with God and the importance of cultivating an eternal perspective.

- Justin Quek, Lighthouse Evangelism

IHOP Internship II (2014)

I am glad I attended the internship and like a dry sponge was fully soaked in the clear and concise teaching of the speakers in conjunction with the notes. It triggered a greater desire within me, a fire filled with zeal and inspiration for greater intimacy with God in prayer and worship.

- Valerie Ng, In Him Church

The lectures were very informative, lively and rich. They have given me more perspectives and helped me understand more regarding worship and prayer and my role as a worshipper. I have gained a better understanding of the partnership between prayer and music.

- Arabelle Wei, Thy Kingdom Come 611 Bread of Life Church

The Harp and Bowl model is a very fresh way of prayer and worship, and has given me new insights as to how we can go deeper in prayer and worship.

- Zerline, Trinity Christian Centre

I was really blessed by the teaching on the tabernacle of David. It has really opened my eyes and heart to God’s heart towards us.

- Wilson, GBI Senayan City, Jakarta

God has stirred my heart with the true value of the Harp and Bowl model, and the House of Prayer. I realize that the House of Prayer is an answer for His heart that is longing to be with us and dwell with us. It changes my paradigm of what is the House of Prayer.

- Belinda Gracia, GBI Senayan City, Jakarta
