AWARE EGM venue moved to EXPO, next to “Transformation Conference 2009? co-organized by COOS and 40 other Churches!!!

We have received tip-off from a COOS member that the church is mobilizing its members to attend the “Transformation Conference 2009” on 2 May 2009, 9am to 6pm at the Singapore EXPO, right next to where the AWARE EGM is held!!

In a statement, Aware said it made the change because membership has been growing by the day. It did not say how many members there are now.

[Where do these new members come from? Will the new exco change the venue to accomodate supporters from the of the camp?]

Among the supporters of the new team are staff and members of the Church of Our Saviour, who have been encouraging people to join Aware and support the new team.

In a weekend sermon posted on its website, Pastor Derek Hong urged the women in his flock to ‘be engaged’ and support Ms Lau and ‘her sisters’ at Aware. He said: ‘It’s not a crusade against the people but there’s a line that God has drawn for us, and we don’t want our nation crossing that line.’

[OMG, Mr Hong, Singapore is not the nation of your God. What line God has drawn for you is your own business, it doesn't apply to non-believers, get it??]

Pastor Derek Hong “strongly encouraged” church members to attend the 2 day conference on 1st and 2nd May 2009 during a sermon at COOS last Saturday:

The event is “Love Singapore Network” which comprises of COOS and 40 other churches in Singapore!! There are emails circulating around urging members to attend the conference and to sign up for the AWARE membership.

It doesn’t take a genius to know that this change of venue is to “facilitate” participants of the Transformation Conference to “hop by” next door to vote at the EGM!

In the end, the leadership tussle within AWARE will be decided largely by new members who have no clue or love for the organization at all.

This is a number game. The majority wins, as simple as that.
