GDOP 2007

Sunday, 27th May 2007

Today, history was being made.

A record 753 of us made our way in 17 buses to the National Stadium to join millions of others around the world for the annual Global Day of Prayer, held every Pentecost Sunday.

Even though dark clouds had formed in the sky, we had faith in the LORD our God, and He proved faithful again -- not a single drop of rain fell on His people who had gathered in the open air stadium to intercede for our nation.

The stadium was probably about half-full with about 35,000 -- from various churches including City Harvest, Assemblies of God and of course, Methodists.

What probably moved the people most was to the earnest prayer of reconciliation offered by an 8-year old on behalf of his fellow youngsters.

Too bad I did not record that on digital film, but I did the closing prayer by our TRAC President, Rev Wee Boon Hup.



What was also historical about GDOP 2007 was that it would be the last major event to be held at the National Stadium before it is pulled down.

Looking forward to GDOP 2008 already.
