11&12 Dec 09 Musical Events @ Agape Centre

Just a short trip down memory lane to a month ago when we had our first musical events at Agape Centre. Sis Lee Hua just blogged on this yesterday, and seeing the pictures brought me back to the good times we had then.

We had a few groups who came to perform and bless us with their musical talents; namely William Kok, the African students and Wesley Merlimau team.

The Music Maker, William Kok and his wife travelled all the way down from KL to play for the musical event. He's really a down-to-earth, gentle and patient chap. A gifted guitar teacher who can play the complete musical arrangement (consisting of both hands) using his guitar. He also provides online guitar lessons (http://williamkok.inc.md/). He shared his valuable experiences and gave advice on music teaching. Len and I have been blessed by him.




Next is the African students from MMU. They come from different parts of Africa - Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria to name a few. I came to know them through my godfather who's in the same church as them at SBC, and liaised with Ola (I call him 'Will Smith' cos I thought he does resemble him, haha). Ola was the one to coordinate with the group, they had a choir who sang in 4 parts, and trust me, these people are all gifted with beautiful heavenly voices. Their voices just sound so natural and and they can do wonders with acapella. Besides the choir, Ola, Masako, Cowey and Kenny (in pics) also sang some love songs. My favourite is still Amazing Grace - My Chains Are Gone (Chris Tomlin's version) where piano duet with the peeps. It sounded awesome!






Then we have the team from Wesley Merlimau too - Bro Eric, Sis Wendy and her gang. Wendy (the Indian girl) is the team leader and she speaks fluent Mandarin! Haha, I couldn't have imagined she's non Chinese till we met the first time at Agape. Anyway the young team is gifted with musical talents. They compose their own songs, sing and play beautifully. We're blessed by the team spirit and great support from their peers who came.






It was a wonderful time we had those 2 days, and we endeavor to organize more events as such in future. For more details, please refer to Agape Centre's blog(http://agapecentre-malacca.blogspot.com)
