A Gathering of Family, Not Just Leaders

As I reflect on the recent gathering in Singapore, a meeting that brought together individuals from across Southeast and Northeast Asia, one word stands out to me: leaders. Yet as I sat in those meetings, worshipped alongside brothers and sisters from many nations, and watched what God was doing, I realized what was unfolding went far beyond leadership.

Yes, there were pastors, apostles, prophets, and intercessors—men and women who have walked faithfully in their callings. But what struck me most was not their experience or titles. The deeper dynamic that the Lord was shaping among us went beyond roles or recognition. This was not just a conference for leaders. It was a gathering of family.

In that atmosphere, it became clear that the true strength of the Church, not found in structure or position but in relationship. The gathering was multigenerational, multinational, and multicultural. On the screens, five to seven different languages were projected at once. In the room, you could feel the Spirit weaving hearts together. It was more than a network of ministries. It was a living expression of God’s Kingdom family.

One of the most beautiful moments came during worship, where small children danced freely with the trained dancers. There was no separation, no sense of who was more qualified or experienced. It was a picture of innocence, joy, and unity.

Even the worship team reflected this diversity. While there were assigned singers and musicians, others from the congregation were invited to join the musicians and sing in their mother tongue which allowed for a heavenly worship experience on earth. Different languages rose together in harmony, yet all were worshipping the same Father. It felt as though heaven itself was breaking into the room as many tribes and tongues lifted one voice before God.

What I sensed from the Father through all of this was simple, yet profound. He is calling His Church back to His original intent – living as family. The leaders in the room were not there to build another organization or movement. They were there to create space for family to grow. They were facilitating environments where love, honour, and generational blessing could flow freely.

This is the essence of the Kingdom—sons and daughters walking together, the young and old worshipping side by side, and nations united by the presence of God.

At times like this, we begin to see what Jesus prayed for in John 17: that we would be one, just as He and the Father are one. It reminds us that revival does not begin in the spotlight. It is found as the family of God rediscovers who they are together.

This remains the heartbeat we carry wherever we go. Our desire is to build and strengthen the family of God across generations and nations. Whether in Singapore, or anywhere the Lord sends us, we long to see His Church come alive in unity, where every voice matters and every heart finds its’ place in the Father’s house.
