Testimony by Christopher Liew

GOD has always drawn me close to Him through Music!

I was deeply inspired by the awesome music led by Abundant Life Worship Team while I was among the congregations. With only basic knowledge in acoustic guitar, I dreamt to be a musician. Under God’s grace, He fulfilled my heart’s desires by leading me even further, to play an instrument that I have never played before ever in my life – the Electric Bass Guitar!

October 2006 was the first time I learnt to play the bass. By God’s anointing, He has ignited me the passion of playing the bass in the worship team until today. As a bassist, it enables me to be the pulse of God’s heart, providing and setting an environment of awesome praise and worship with the various dynamics and rhythms. This becomes a powerful bridge linking between heaven and hearts of God’s people in worship.

Being in the worship team teaches me more than a worship musician. I learnt teamwork, responsibility, organization and leadership. Most importantly, I have fun & fellowship being with the brothers and sisters who shares the same passion as me!

Our time on this journey is short. It is only right that with the gifts anointed to us by the Lord, to be given back to Him for His Kingdom in His Glory! It’s my joy and privilege to serve the Lord with the gifts He had given me. I am honored and happy to be used by God for His purpose!

The worship team has also been a platform of my spiritual growth, constantly drawing me close to God through music. How wonderful it is to grow in Christ and to make music of Praise at the same time! Only if we allow God to work in us, He will bring us places we’ve yet imagined. He did that to me and let’s sees where He will bring me next!
