Here’s what some of our
students have to say:

TINGJIA, Keyboard, 2021

“Wow these people show so much honor to each other” - this was the first thought I had when I attended AG’s mid-year showcase last year. This motivated me to join as a student in 2021.

I witnessed this culture of honour in action during my Keyboard lessons. After our mid-year presentations, Shernise, our mentor, asked us to applaud, encourage and prophesy over each classmate! It made me realise the importance of celebrating everyone. Although there’s always things to improve on, it is equally necessary to just celebrate and encourage. I felt very challenged to speak life and hope to everyone.

This culture of encouraging and honouring people is so tangible here at Awaken Generation. I have found a safe space to grow not just in my heart but also in my skills. I feel empowered to take risks, and am constantly reminded that mistakes are also a way to grow and learn. Through being immersed in this culture, I learnt it is not about striving for perfection but serving from a place of who God has made me to be.

SANDRA YU, Vocals, 2019

I struggled a lot with fear for the past few years. It’s no surprise to my friends that I’m afraid of a lot of things – the dark, heights, birds etc. However, this fear was different. I was paralysed by a lie that the devil had sown in me – a false belief that I would lose my loved ones through unnatural death. 

Many times, when I wanted to go all out for God, this fear would always hold me back as I was fearful of potential spiritual attacks. I always wondered if the devil would do something bad to me and my family if I were to partner in what God is doing. Though the lies may sound silly when said out loud, I remember it feeling so real and suffocating. 

It was during my 1-1 mentoring session with Alarice that I experienced a breakthrough. She shared with me that God sees me in my destiny and not in my present failures, and He has created me to be courageous even though I may not always feel like it. When she said that, I felt His heart for me, that He wants me to be set free from this fear I had and rise up as the warrior He has called me to be. 

Subsequently, I have come to know of His goodness and greatness in a more intimate way through Convergences. I came to realise that God is for me and not against me, and my perspectives towards Him started to change. Seeing many Awaken Generation mentors around me really impacted and inspired my faith personally as I witnessed their lives overflow with the Spirit of God.

Looking back, I haven’t experienced that suffocation for a while now, and my relationship with God has deepened; my eyes aligned to the right view of who He is. He has made me bold and courageous through my time here."

王璐远, 中文敬拜带领, 2021

在甦醒世代学习时，上帝透过每堂课重新翻转我的生命，坚固我对敬拜的热忱，也让我更深经历神。有次在班上敬拜结束后，导师说要为我们中间身体不适的人祷告。由于从小较传统和保守的成长背景，我当时还很理性的觉得不可能会发生什么。后来当导师跪下按手在我的脚上向神祷告时，一股从神而来的新生命就冲进了我的整个身体里，原本很烧的感觉变成一股凉意，脚也不再疼痛了。当下的惊讶和感受是我几十年来从未有过的，这也让我肯定了神医治的大能。

“敬拜者首先要有敬拜的生命才能带领出有生命的敬拜” - 这是我在敬拜带领课程中最大的领受。如果你也想要在敬拜带领上更加进步，就快来加入甦醒世代这大家庭吧！

陈涌川, 中文词曲创作, 2022

我在甦醒世代的词曲创作课程中学到了不同的写歌技巧，更经历生命的更新，完成了一首诗歌「耶稣祢是」。我在教会的敬拜赞美聚会中带领了这首歌，并见证了神的奇妙作为。有位第一次来到教会的非信徒深受感动而决志信主，另外一位远离神的弟兄也决定回到了神的面前，还有很多主内弟兄姐妹被神的爱充满而感动流泪。感谢神赐给我这首歌并使用它来施行救恩和医治，这激励我去创作更多诗歌祝福这世界！
