G12 Asia Conference 2019
About Conference
Our theme for Conference this year is “Back to the Start”. It’s all about us coming back to who God has called us to be and what He has called us to do.
We believe that the symbol which best represents this theme is the Burning Bush. Our prayer is that every single person at Conference will find themselves at the Burning Bush. A place where God is encountered in a fresh way, a moment when we are called to something far greater, and a mark of a new season and fresh start.
This August, God wants you to come back to the Burning Bush. It’s time to catch His fire, His passion, and His vision. Join us at Conference as we’re brought back to the start of it all – God.
The Hosts
Apostle Lawrence Khong founded Faith Community Baptist Church (FCBC) in 1986. Under his leadership, FCBC would grow to become one of the fastest growing churches in Singapore. In 2002, he led FCBC to embrace the G12 Vision. His wife, then a doctor, left her medical practice of 16 years to serve alongside him in the Vision. Together, they continued to have a dream for the multitudes and would establish Gateway Entertainment, a company that believes in bringing God’s Kingdom to the world through arts and entertainment. Their apostolic ministry would span across the world and many church networks, with Apostle Lawrence serving as the G12 Regional Coordinator for Asia, Co-Chair of Empowered21 Asia, and Chairman of LoveSingapore.
Host Church
Founded in 1986, FCBC has always believed in making disciples, planting churches, and transforming communities. Under the leadership of Senior Pastors Lawrence and Nina Khong, FCBC has grown to become a church without walls that reaches out and touches the lives of many.
To do that, FCBC birthed TOUCH Community Services in 1986, a not-for-profit charity organisation that serves all those in need with no strings attached. Additionally, FCBC also started Gateway Entertainment in 2002 to bring wholesome values and a message of hope to the world through stage performances, movies and other forms of arts and entertainment.
In the G12 family, FCBC serves the international G12 movement by being an extension of Apostle Lawrence Khong, the G12 Regional Coordinator for Asia. Since 2002, FCBC has hosted an annual G12 conference in Singapore, which has become known as the G12 Asia Conference. Every year, this conference sees over 7,000 delegates coming together to be equipped and empowered to fulfil the G12 Vision.
