20th Anniversary Celebration and New Initiatives
While in Jerusalem in BC days, received a blue-ocean strategy to use GBG for studio art specialisations targeting artisans of all ages to work with clay and learn modalities which is our present concentration.

“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have another to help. Again, if two lie together, they keep warm; but how can one keep warm alone?” (Ecc 4:9-12)
Consider the biblical partnerships of Elijah-Elisha, Moses-Joshua, Naomi-Ruth, Mordecai-Esther, and Paul-Timothy. Scripture and church history abound with such spiritual pairings, demonstrating the truth of the biblical wisdom that "two are better than one."
We aim to apply spiritual Blue Zone(+) research in managing our new Pottery Studio—an outcome of the GBGx Accelerator (7 Sept - 12 Oct), our most comprehensive C-BAM module at the Seminary Gate to date.

These new ventures represent a culmination of our journey and vision:
This initiative builds upon our rich history of community engagement and spiritual growth, as evidenced by our past activities:
The soft opening in October is significant, as it aligns with our longstanding engagement with Hebrew festivals, dating back to our celebrations of Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot in 2011.
Every circle has a starting point though unseen and unappreciated. Likewise the vision of a full circle from the moment of a it’s prophetic launch to the culmination of a new beginning. Here is the genius of heaven revealed in the satisfaction that “You have accomplished all that we have done” (Isaiah 26:12)
We invite the governors and regents to reflect on this milestone and consider how these new initiatives will further our mission in Geylang and beyond.
