<p>It&#8217;s YOUR time now! Don&#8217;t miss the sweet taste of God&#8217;s favour. Living life with God&#8217;s advantage will not only dramatically change your life but the lives of those around you!</p>
<address>Date: 13-16 June 2010</address>
<address>Venue: Hydro Hotel, Penang</address>
<address>Speaker: Rev Sam Farina (USA)</address>

<p>Sign up NOW and start LIVING IN HIS FAVOUR! For more information kindly visit the church camp counter after service this weekend. <span id="more-2125"></span></p>
<p>God desires to release authority and influence through favour upon you. You can enjoy His supernatural favour in every area of your life, including your relationships, job, school, finances, and ministry. God&#8217;s favour flowing in your life is not based upon your background, talents, abilities, or anything you have earned. Because many of us misunderstand God&#8217;s favour, we live without it. You can obtain &#8220;the special affection of God toward you that releases an influence on you, so that others are inclined to like you or to coperate with you&#8221;.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Finding God&#8217;s favour in an unfavourable world</em></li>
<li><em>Receiving supernatural recognition, promotion and increase</em></li>
<li><em>Experiencing great and unusual victories even against impossible odds</em></li>
<li><em>Gaining prominence and preferential treatment, favour and kindness</em></li>
<li><em>Releasing God&#8217;s supernatural influence to work</em></li>
<li><em>Enjoying God&#8217;s favour everyday</em></li>
</ul>

<p>Now, in 2009 we are ready for Vision Centre. To remain where we are is not our intention. Tomorrow beckons. By God’s grace we will continue to fulll our calling. Our VISION is to win souls, build people, impact community and reach nations.<span id="more-2070"></span></p>
<p>By faith we will expand our facilities in VISION CENTRE to provide additional space for greater revival growth. With enlarged capacity, we can grow even more.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2085  aligncenter" title="vc-lobby" src="http://www.gtpj.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/vc-lobby.jpg" alt="vc-lobby" width="350" height="263" /></p>
<p>“What kind of a house will you build Me?” (Acts 7:49), the Lord asks.</p>
<p>Vision Centre is conceptualized, designed and created for multi-faceted ministries using sacred space that is God-glorifying and encompassing concepts that are smart, living and natural. The Centre is purpose-built for Spirituality, Humanity and Enterprise.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2086  aligncenter" title="vc-model1" src="http://www.gtpj.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/vc-model1.jpg" alt="vc-model1" width="450" height="171" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Yesterday we SOWED</em></strong><br />
Glad Tidings Assembly of God was started in 1963, at first in an office space and later the chapel of Bible College of Malaysia. The church building was put up in 1984 on BCM land at a cost of about two and a half million ringgit. From 2000 &#8211; 2003 we rented additional facilities at the former State cinema for our Youth and Chinese Church.<span id="more-2064"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2073  aligncenter" title="gtpj-history1" src="http://www.gtpj.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/gtpj-history1.jpg" alt="gtpj-history1" width="316" height="383" /></p>
<p><strong>TODAY WE CELEBRATE!</strong></p>
<p><strong>PHASE ONE (2002 – 2006)<br />
BUILDING GOD’S GREAT HOUSE</strong><br />
In 2002 the Church purchased its own 4.3-acre property at Section 13, Petaling Jaya, for sixteen million ringgit. Renovation was kept simple, basic and for short-term use; three million ringgit for structural works and two million ringgit for finishing and furnishings.</p>
<p>In our fortieth year, in August 2003 the Church moved into its new facilities. By October 2006, with the Jubilee declaration, we were completely debt-free.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2076  aligncenter" title="gtpj-history2" src="http://www.gtpj.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/gtpj-history2.jpg" alt="gtpj-history2" width="331" height="409" /></p>
<p>From 2002 – 2006 the Building Fund collection amounted to RM13,168,929.00. This came solely from the faith pledge of God’s people. The Building Fund collection for 2007 and 2008 amounted to about three million ringgit.</p>
<p>The facilities under Phase One included Maranatha Auditorium, Parousia Hall, Zoe House, Kairos Hall, Office Block, Covered uncovered carparks, which had been fully used for the glory of God.</p>
<p>… it was worth the investment!</p>
<p>We stagnated for three years (2001-2003), with average attendance of about 2000 people. But since we moved into Section 13, we have been adding about 200 people per year every year from 2004-2008. Now we average 3,200 people…. … and moving on to 5,000!!</p>
