Geylang Bless God (GBG) is located at 175 a/b Geylang Road, Singapore, sharing the location with Oikos Fellowship.
The idea for this small church started 30 years ago in my heart in the Upper Serangoon Area. In our first ten years (our Season of Discovery), we received the call to "go where the durians are." In the next ten years (our Season of Service), we felt guided to "go where nobody wants to go, stay until we are told to leave, and never ask when that will be" (Frank Laubach).
As Jesus said, "please return keys in the same place where you found them for the next user!" - Gerard Seow
Incorporated in 1992, we started walking the streets about 18 yrs when we were shifted into Geylang. Before we got the keys to our 389247 prayer centre we piloted a church planting movement among Filipino domestic workers that realised a dream to be an Antioch-type (reverse-missions) sending agency. Today, because of our work among the Children under the Bridge in one of Jakarta's most criminalised drug, crime and prostitution areas we continue in the same Messiah-centred tradition of our founding fathers enabling total church resources to flow without hindrance so as to be nurtured in fresh ideas that enlarge our capacity for constructive change.
We have not more than 4000 sq ft of space, about 2 floors of a typical Singapore shophouse where we explore the interface between local, non-local and extra-local needs of the community in the context of a red-light district. We can accommodate about 20-25 live in students in a basecamp setting complete with high-speed internet, love kitchen, a small research library, a conference room that doubles up as a worship sanctuary with a capacity of around 40 to 50 theatre-style or 25 to 30 in the round (per session).
We recognise the urgency of the hour in which every day counts and every one serves to build ourselves up in the most holy faith of Moses, Jesus and Paul. We absolutely love the way God has been leading our little flock into blue ocean opportunities to become the gospel village He is calling us to, as we provide a listening ear to the women and children in prostitution and a shoulder for all in trouble to cry on.
