We'll, all good things do come to an end. But no, this is not the end, this is a new season. Alot of tears were shed, alot of them. It's the last Ignyte service of year 2008. And in this service, we looked back at our many events, the number of first-time visitors that increased so much and the average attendance sky rocket to two times over just 1 year. Praise God for all He has done, and thank God for Pastor Gary Chia who was used so powerfully and mightly as a vessel. Without Pastor Gary, Ignyte won't be where we are today, really. I still remember, in the beggining when the youth ministry first multiplied into 2 centres - PL & Adam - I remember dreading to come to Adam, because PGC was taking charge. Alot of us were skeptical because we were closer to Pastor Darrick. But thank goodness we stayed on, believed - and we saw breakthroughs. Under PGC's ministry, Ignyte @ Adam grew like NEVER BEFORE. Family spirit was inseparable from Ignyte youths, we knew & learnt the value of prayer & worship and what it means to speak to our mountains and stand up for God in a fallen world. I am proud of what Ignyte @ Adam is today. It's amazing, really. People who were under PGC's ministry will know how much he loves everyone of us like his own. Sermons were challenging and harsh, meeting one on one with him would often end up in stress - but after u know his heart, you will be blessed once you see yourself grow like never before. I remmeber quarrelling with him, raising my voice, yelling at this pastor that everyone literally feared because noone knew him, no one was familiar with him and everyone known him to be a fierce person. And i did just that. But no, he did not giv eup on me. He had relentless belief in me and saw me through the many seasons in my life, telling me time and time again that 'hannah, you will rise up to be a great leader one day'. Working with pastor gary over various events allowed me to know him better as a friend. He talks alot of rubbish jokes alot, plays soccer like all other young boys, winning 11, lame jokes and laughter. But we all know, that such an amazing pastor would be called for more, called for greatness. He's going to expand his territory & move up to Creative ministries to serve as a worship leader for the adult congregation. My heart ached, and i cried everytime i hear the news or see him preaching with such fire, faith and love. I think i wouldnt find that kinda spirit in any other pastor, rather i haven't, all my years in church. Thank you for everything pastor, literally. Through the ups and downs u were there, no matter how far we ran. Believed in us and loved us when no one could, challenged us and saw us through the so many seasons in our lives. Your spirit has caught on everyone of us, and hear this PGC, we will carry on the legacy you've left behind. This is for you; a friend, a confidante, a supporter, a leader - our pastor.

PS: maybe its because i've been so ministered by PGC and because without pGC i wont be here today, that;s why i always get so emotional and find it ever to hard to release him, but i will! PGC you have my blessings! Hannah will always love you and watch me okay! I will rise up tobe the leader God has called me to be and make you proud! Th
