New DVD: "By My Spirit", an inspiring story of how Methodism started in Singapore

Title: By My Spirit
Call number: DVD BYM










This DVD produced by Wesley Methodist Church's Creative Art Services team chronicles the events that led to the founding of the church and of the Methodist Church in Singapore. The title "By My Spirit" is taken from the first Singapore Methodist sermon on Zechariah 4:6 "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit saith the Lord" (incidentally the same words are on the beautiful stained-glass at the back of the Kampong Kapor Methodist Church sanctuary.)

The story of how the church was founded is wonderfully brought to life using puppets. This is a story of men who did not even have enough money to make the travel from India to Singapore to start the church here; a story of men who did not know if anyone would meet them when they got to Singapore and ultimately, a story of men who put simple faith in God.
