GenerationS in
C Zone
What are you looking forward most from GenerationS book?
I joined HOGC since April 2021, and heard stories from the
leaders about the 9 stones and how HOGC grow from year 1999.
Glad that I am able to be here for the ‘GenerationS’ book
launch. 😊 Really looking forward to reading the book written
by Pastor How and Pastor Lia to find out more about how they
co-lead the strong church, build the youths and all the
behind-the-scenes stories. 😊
Alicia Chong Pei Jiun, C2,
First, I will like to know about the history/heritage of HOGC
from the perspective of both the founding members, followed by
the journey and challenges pastors face throughout these 20+
years of building HOGC, and yet remain committed on the
conviction that was made to build a Youth Church. Finally, I
will like to know the foresight of what is to come next!

As a member of HOGC who has only joined in the past 1-2 years,
I am really looking forward to reading GenerationS to find out
inside details on how HOGC was founded. Am also keen to read
on the perspectives of both Pastor How and Pastor Lia, and I
am aware that this book is well planned and a lot of effort
has been put in not only in the heart behind the messages but
also in the production, so am keen on reading a book that is
excellent in many ways. Am very sure that the insights
contained within the book from SPs and even from Rinnah are
priceless and contains the revelation of God to SPs, and for
that reason I also believe that this book is a celebration.
Surely, this milestone of HOGC is amazing and it can only be
the work of God! So, more than anything, I am keen to find out
how God has worked through SPs, pastors, leaders and even the
members of the church in the creation and evolution of HOGC
for the past 22 years. Am also keen to read the book in order
to find out how to inculcate, build and fortify a relationship
with the Lord that lasts not only one generation, but many,
and even after our lifetime (GenerationS).

For 20 years, SPs have built HOGC. Being in C Zone with a number of veterans and hearing all the wow stories from the time before Covid does make me wonder what it was like then. I look forward to reading about everything that I missed out on and the origins of SP How's & SP Lia's thoughts!
Shalyn Lee, C2
Having only become a regular in HOGC within the past year, I was absolutely stoked when I found out that SP Lia and yourself were working on the manuscript to a book! And it is not just any book! It is The Book which promises the thoughts in your hearts, and charts the journey of a dream to build a world-class youth church that is our HOGC today! It is so amazing that we can still experience HOGC’s first 22 years of history through your perspectives! I am sure that I can proudly declare after I have finished reading the book that I no longer “suffer” from FOMO!
I also love the idea behind, that the book will not only help us to look back at HOGC’s humble beginnings, but will also serve as reminder to our children and our children’s children to never take the House of God for granted! Your words will span generations, and that it only because both yourself and SP Lia have been living testimonies of GenerationS! Honestly, I get so mind-blown every time I think of that!
I have heard a lot about how every small detail of the book, from the alignment of words to the truncation, is so well thought through. I am a lover of words myself, and I really appreciate when the words in the books that I read don't end up with "distorted" hyphens after every other line! Maybe it's me - I'm a little OCD, but I am very amazed how you and SP Lia even thought of that too! Truly, it's the small details that make a great difference, and I know that GenerationS is going to be great!
I can’t wait to get my hands on the book and am looking
forward to reading it (all in one seating, but over and over
again – confirm plus chop possible)!
Joanne Wong, C2
I am looking forward to... the heritage, the journey, the insights and the heart behind why both you and SP LIA decided to build a house with GenerationS in mind!
Although there are so many excerpts from the website, these
are really not enough! So amazed that the average age of
church members is still 21 years old, although the church is
already 22 years old :) I want to see first hand from the book
itself, the thoughts that both of you have in mind and the
heart for everyone of us!
Cheng Yingwei, C2
Christmas 2019 was the first time I attended HOGC service and I was planted in church in 2020. I didn’t get the opportunity to attend many services before we transitted to On Air service. Thankfully, my leaders always share with me the history and wow stories of HOGC.
I’m looking forward to the upcoming book, GenerationS! I
believe it’ll reveal the history of HOGC and give me a greater
understanding of the heart behind building up a youth church.
I accepted Christ when I was 14 years old and looking back, I
see the importance of having a supportive church environment
for youths to grow up in. Definitely want to make a positive
impact to the youths today too! I believe there will be so
much to learn from SP How and SP Lia.
Kaitlyn Soh, C2
I am so excited for our 1st GenerationS book written by HOGC,
for HOGC! I cannot wait to read all the wow stories about the
church since it first started, all the journey for the last 20
years, especially since I am only in church in the last few
years. I believe many lives will be impacted and hearts will
be touched by the stories told in the book. This book will be
the proof of our church's history for the next generations, so
that they will understand the heart behind HOGC!
Jesslyn Yeno, C2
I can’t wait to get my hands on the book GenerationS! It’s such a key milestone for both of you SPs and HOGC!
Can’t wait to deep dive into our heritage, behind the scenes and all the unheard stories, and the list goes on!!!! I know this book will definitely help all of us to have a clearer understanding of all the decisions and sacrifices that both of you have made to build HOGC as what it is now!
I know I will definitely be blown away by the book and I can’t
wait to share this book with the GenerationS to come too! It’s
so exciting!!!
Clarissa Chan, C2
I can’t wait to dive into the book to read on the behind-the-scene stories of how you and Pastor Lia built the church over the past 20 years. Missed 2 opportunities to be part of the HOGC story since 2006 so just treasuring this opportunity to read all the stories and heritage of HOGC! Time to catch up on what I missed if I stayed as a youth in 2006!!
Benjamin Chua, C2
I can't wait for the launch of GenerationS. SPs' heart and
believing in Generations are the main reasons that caused me
to be planted in HOGC, followed by the worship atmosphere.
SPs' patience and love for the youth have guided me and given
me a better perspective on how to raise my little girl who is
almost 4 years old now. I want to share with her about how our
SPs and HOGC believe and help to grow the generations. I'm so
moved by SPs' thought of opening up the church for the youths
to study, do their projects and even academic excellence to
help up the youths with their exams. SPs really treat all the
youths as their own children and give them the best that they
will need to build a better future.
Lilian Chew, C2
There are so many things that I look forward to reading when
GenerationS is launched! All of the BTS, the heart of Pastors,
our DNA, and how God has brought HOGC to where it is today. I
may not have been there when HOGC first started and I may not
have witness so many amazing stories but now, with this book,
I can immersed myself in it to bring me back to the days when
HOGC first started!!
Geraldine Grace, C2
I am really looking forward to understanding more about the
DNA of Heart of God Church, to be able to connect more with
SPs and to really learn their heart and why they do what they
do all these years. I would also love to know more about the
full history of Heart of God Church, all the behind-the-scenes
information and how much it takes to run such a power-packed
and life changing service every week!
Esvaran, C2
Hi SP How, I’m so excited for the GenerationS Book!! I just
can’t wait to get my hands on one of them! I have heard many
stories about the both of you from my leaders. Now with the
book, I can read all the stories of how Heart of God Church
was built and the spiritual heritage that I now belong to. I
can’t wait to read about the behind-the-scenes of how both you
and SP Lia sacrificed in the beginning to build the nine
stones, as well as the beginning of all the ministries. It is
my privilege to not just read about them but also be part of
it and living in it!
Amber Ang, C4
I am so looking forward to reading the GenerationS book on the
stories of behind the scenes and stories on how pastors build
the youths all these years! I can pass down this book as as a
spiritual heritage to my children, grand children and many
generations beyond! Believe that the stories of HOGC in this
book will also sow seeds of faith and dreams in many lives
globally as well!!
Sng Shu Yu Derrica, C4
I always wanted to understand more of your thoughts, especially taking a bold step to start out Heart of God Church as young adults. SP, I have heard of how you sacrificed and went through obstacles in the midst of it. I am so grateful for both of you. This inspires me, as a young adult, to take a step of faith in making certain decisions. Your decisions are always for people. People, people, people.
I am so amazed how SP Lia plans for ministry rostering, especially how it first started out for the nine stones, and subsequently moving on to Dhoby Ghaut with the birth of the Worship Teams. I am full of expectancy for the book and I know so many people, including myself and even leaders in the workforce, who will be reading it. I'm going to get extra extra, extra, copies for my friends! This book is going to be so good for sure! Just like the spice level of Mala...
麻辣 (Mala)
特辣 (Te-la) extra extra extra spicy
I believe the book, GenerationS, is going to be 特辣
(Te-la)!!! Our friends and families, for whom we are reaching
out to, would all grab extra, extra, extra copies, and they
will love the book! Grateful for you and SP Lia.
Roderick Lau, C4
I’m really looking forward to the GenerationS book launch as I
know there are tons of stories and testimonies inside. Stories
like how the 9 stones come about, building the youth and also
all the behind-the-scenes. More than that, it contains our
history, DNA and also the heart of pastors when building the
youth and the church. I really can’t wait to get hold of it
and I'm definitely going to share this with all my friends.
Ong Chin Wee, C4
Hi Pastor How! I’m so excited to get my hands on the book!! I
can’t wait to read all the stories from the start, and read
about all the decisions that both you and Pastor Liamade on
the journey of building Heart of God Church. What I look
forward to most is really reading about both Ps Lia's and your
hearts, your thoughts and perhaps all your revelations from
this incredible journey of building and believing in
GENERATIONS. This is our HOGC Story and I’m feeling so
incredibly blessed that I am part of this movement!
Tay Kian Leng, C2
Pastors, I am most looking forward to all the stories and
thoughts from your hearts. As a veteran in church, this book
is not just about the church’s story, but it is OUR story,
charting out our lives of giving our best years of our life
for God, sacrificing our time and finances to the cause of
Christ. I know that it will be a blessing to not just the many
newer members and youths, it will also reinforce our hearts
and minds on what makes us part of the DNA of HOGC, and
continue to impart these cultures to the newer members in our
church.
