AOF YEAR-END MESSAGE BY REV DR PAUL KP ANG

Dear AOF Family,

 

I thank God for the year 2022. God is faithful and He led us through COVID in the last 2-3 years. 

 

I am grateful to many of you who joined us for the zoom gatherings the last year and felt to keep you posted on what God is doing in this new season. 

 

With the relaxation of COVID restrictions, especially for the last six months. God has moved very quickly, and we ran two Fire Starter schools in Thailand, impacting close to 200 leaders! 

 

Power and Speed

 

God has impressed upon the leaders of AOF to hasten the work that He has entrusted to us through the following verse:

 

_“Then the LORD gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab’s chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel.”_ 1 King 18:46 NLT

 

Just like Elijah, we all felt a deep sense of urgency and acceleration. This seems to me a window of opportunity for us to run and catch the supernatural power of God. As this had been led by the finger of God, we are confident that He will give us supernatural strength to accomplish this.

Here’s what was done as well as an invitation for you to join us in this clarion call!

 

2022 JUL – DEC

 

We ran two Firestarter schools in Thailand. 

 

*1. July 2022 – Chiang Mai (CM), Northern Thailand* where over 80 people attended. We experienced the glory and supernatural manifestation of the presence of God. Many leaders were renewed in faith.

 

*2. Nov 2022 –Khon Kaen (KK), Eastern Thailand* where over 100 people gathered, all via the word of mouth, where the power of God was tangibly manifested as the God of love, healing and restoring many hearts. By the glory of God, He protected all of us from COVID despite the gathering of so many people!

God has shown us in the midst of travel restrictions that many are hungry and seek the presence of God. Through this, a local team in CM was set up. The CM team received the vision that they have to bless the various parts of Thailand and beyond.

During the school at KK, we saw a great number of young people joined the school. We believe God is going to bring more young people to join the school to carry His fire and continue the revival glory.

We look at 2023 with great expectations of what God is going to do. 

 

2023 JAN – JUL

 

Our mind is focussing on God’s agenda, doing the impossible task of running a school every 2 months. But we are certain He longs to reveal His glory and Divine character through the schools.

 

*3. March 2023 –Kanchanaburi (KB), Western Thailand* on 13 – 17 March 2023. We believe this school will be about Freedom in His Glory and we are expecting even more people to come. Mark the dates and join the school to experience His freedom as well! Registration will be released very soon.

 

*4. May 2023 – Hat Yai, Southern Thailand*. Dates TBC. The focus of this school will likely be Evangelism. 

 

*5. July 2023 – Bangkok, Central Thailand* This will be the final school to unite Thailand to shine for Him!

 

If you notice, as we cover the 4 corners of Thailand, it is like drawing a cross over Thailand. 

 

God is showing us that He Himself, His redemption, and His glory is over Thailand!

Going forward there is a lot to do. This is a divine window for us to focus on Thailand and we must do it with His power and speed. We will march into 2023 step by step by faith, as God leads.

 

Beyond July, God will reveal His plans for us.

 

This will require much work from the team which includes YOU. Every member of the AOF family has a role to play, big or small. This is an invitation for you to participate in this Great Commission.

 

We've formed several teams to advance the ministry as follows:

 

1.      The intercession team will be headed up by Ps Joyce Choo.

2.      The Firestarter school will be headed up by Ps Elizabeth Teo, the Dean of the school.

3.      Ps Hephzibah Liam will be the Curriculum Director for the school.

4.      AOF has raised up a CM team, led by Prophet Peter Darius. It is the only affiliate to run the schools in other parts of Thailand. With time, we will also appoint other city affiliates. The greater vision is for all members of Thailand to be a blessing to other nations around, specifically Indochina.

 

If you want to participate in this great calling, we need support in:

1.      Intercession

2.      Workers (helpers for school & ministry, social media, musicians, logistics etc)

3.      Funding (We had to keep the costs of the school low to allow as many local pastors as possible to participate). 

 

We will also be organising an *in-person gathering in Singapore on Sat, 25th Feb, 4-6pm at Manhattan House.*

 

Unfortunately, we’re unable to organise this physical gathering in other countries at this juncture.  

 

The purpose is for us to gather as a family and to minister to each other. Most importantly, it is for us to pull our talents and resources together to focus on the Great Commission God has bestowed on us and raise more fire starters for God. 

 

Now that we’ve received the fire, let us impart it to others. Let us run this race together as one family so that we can equip and ignite many Fire starters around the world starting from Thailand! 

 

We need all hands to be on board. Jesus is coming back very soon; it is an honour for us to serve and witness the greater glory He had promised in the last days. Regardless of what role you play, we welcome you to run with us to set the earth on FIRE! 

 

Wishing all of you a Blessed Christmas and a Great Year ahead!

 

To God be the Glory!
