Prior to the formation of CKRM ( Christ’s Kingdom Reigns Majestically) Christian Centre, Pastor Paul Ang and Pastor Esther Chow attended a Summer Intensive Course at Agape Renewal Center (ARC), Los Angeles in 2004. Ps. Paul was again at Agape Renewal Center in 2005. After a few years in ministry, both went in 2007 for further training. By God’s grace, while they were students at ARC, the President of ARC gave them the privilege to be part of the team selected to go to Bill Johnson’s Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in March 2007 for a few days under the scholarship given by Bethel School. The experience was a blessing to the team that went as Bill Johnson’s ministry is well known for awesome healings, miraculous signs & wonders.
The reality of 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, “My message and my preaching were not with wise & persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom but on God’s power” and 1 Corinthians 4:20, “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power” took root in the hearts of Pastor Paul and Pastor Esther after their time with ARC and Bill Johnson’s Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry.
Shortly after returning from Bill Johnson’s Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, Pastor Paul Ang and Pastor Esther Chow obeyed the prompting of God to set up a supernatural ministry similar to that of Bill Johnson’s. CKRM Christian Centre Ltd was thus set up on 16th April 2007; a “Show & Tell” ministry that combines the preaching of the Word with demonstrations of God’s power. Through CKRM, God is raising up a new generation of believers who are advancing His kingdom by living out Isaiah 61:1 “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners”. This will be accomplished through the equipping and training of the believers.
Since the founding days, CKRM has grown from just a Saturday Empowerment ministry to incorporate ‘Discipleship & Character Building’, and ‘Today’s Youth’ Supernatural ministry on Sunday. As the church grew, the Lord has led the leadership of CKRM to venture beyond Singapore. A training centre will be set up in Malacca in March 2009. Looking ahead, CKRM will continue to be guided by the Holy Spirit as we prepare the church for the glorious return of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.
