History

From 1981, we were always moving from place to place. In 1994, we fasted for three weeks seeking God for the most strategic place. Through a vision, He showed us a four-storey white building joined to a temple, away from our usual place of worship. God revealed that Geylang was a spiritually challenging area that needed transformation. We moved to Geylang, renting the place officially in 1994.
 

Then, we entered into a greater spiritual battle. Geylang was noted for prostitution, loan sharks, gangsterism, and drug pushing. We realized we had to increase in strategic battle prayers. There were only a few churches in the area at first, so we called upon God for more churches and more prayer warriors. Praise God, we now have more than 70 churches in this area.
 

Then the Lord spoke to us of a permanent place of worship - a mission base and a prayer house. We searched but could not find one until a new building was rising just 20 meters adjacent to our rented building. We knew we could not meet the budget but got all the leaders together to pray for God’s confirmation and stepped out in faith. First, we as a church began to give sacrificially. Then, affiliated ministries, churches, and individuals joined in. Even our beloved Indonesian friends were giving despite their economic crisis.
 

We believe God is taking Tabernacle of Holiness into a new phase of life and ministry. The mission base and the sanctuary He gave us are for a higher and honourable purpose. Many ministers have prophetically spoken about the things to come. One of the prophets said that the uniqueness of our church is to bring the Glory of God in our midst. That has confirmed the reason why God gave us the name 'Tabernacle of Holiness’. Only through holiness will the Glory of God come down. The Bible says that Jesus is coming for a church who is holy, spotless, without wrinkle, or blemish (Ephesians 5:27).
 

We have been working so hard for His presence to come down, but when His Glory does come down, everything will be done by Him.
