  Pastor Tan, who was not at the church's Chinese language service yesterday, was also said to be resting so he could assist in the probe.

  PASTOR Tan Ye Peng, a founding member of City Harvest Church (CHC) and Senior Pastor Kong Hee's deputy, is among those assisting the authorities in an investigation arising from complaints about the alleged misuse of church funds.

  The church in Jurong was told this during the Chinese language service yesterday. Mr Tan, who heads the Chinese section, was not present.

  Pastor Joseph Ang, who led the service, told the congregation that both Mr Tan and Mr Kong were resting so they could continue to assist in the police investigation.

  Assuring the congregation that both men were well, Mr Ang thanked church members for the encouraging messages sent to their leaders over the week.

  'Whatever happens, let us stay united,' he said.

  Seventeen individuals are involved in the investigation by the police and the Commissioner of Charities.

  Mr Tan is also the founder of CityCare, a related social enterprise that conducts training in schools and organises overseas humanitarian projects.

  He was not in when The Straits Times visited his terrace house in Tanah Merah yesterday.

  Mr Kong was also not at any of the services at the weekend at both the Jurong and Singapore Expo locations.

  The services were conducted by Executive Pastor Derek Dunn and founding member and Pastor Aries Zulkarnain, who also exhorted the flock to 'stay united as a church, no matter what the outcome is'.

  In his sermons, Mr Dunn told the congregation it is normal in times of crisis for people to get angry and want to blame someone.

  But, without making reference to the police investigation, he told them: 'We shouldn't be angry with the authorities.'

  He told the Jurong congregation that Singapore is a great country and has a great government, adding: 'That is why we are fully cooperative.'

  At the Singapore Expo service, he said he had been reading Twitter and e-mail messages from the congregation, which said they were praying and fasting.

  This, he said, showed the 'maturity of the members of the church' when handling a crisis.

  many statements from NCC?   I only read one article about it from Joseph Prince, which other source did you read the articles from NCC?

  My guess is Joseph Prince wants to assure christians and public that his church can be trusted.

  Besides that, maybe attracting the angry followers to NCC.

  nothing to do w/ you then leave it as it is.

  sometimes the more 'coincidential' things are, ppl start to raise eyebrows over it.

  I think something fishy is going on at NCC. This Pasta Prince looks like some cult figure. Go to this website http://www.josephprince.org/Partner_Partner_With_Us.html?active=partner. Pasta Prince looks more like he is running a credit card company or an airline frequent flyer programme with all those platinum card, elite membership nonsense. Maybe he should also introduce Priority Tithing or ask ppl to donate more $$$ to redeem free 1st class ticket to heaven.LOL!!!!

  What I have against City Harvest Church

   

  I had a few thoughts as I was reading this article, and a response to it. I’ve attended City Harvest on quite a few occassions since I was Sec 3 (that’s…2001, I think). So anyway, as much as I was happy that the church was reaching out and changing the lives of so many people, one incident made me decide not to go back for any more services. (I still go for the X’mas stuff though.)

  It was the one where they were promoting Ho Yeow Sun a.k.a. Sun Ho a.k.a. The Pastor’s Wife’s CD during the sermon. I found that incredibly unclassy, and a complete turn off. What was he thinking?

  Halfway through his sermon, there was some sort of an interlude and he suddenly started touting. “2 CDs free poster! 5 CDs free cap! Buy 10 and you get a T-shirt!”. I can’t remember the exact numbers, but it was along those lines. I’m not even kidding.

  I know it’s meant to be like us supporting her endeavours and stuff, but I found it incredibly inappropriate to expoit the church-goers (who will inevitably buy a few copies to show support) to boost album sales. A girl from my cell group at that time actually went to buy 20 and distributed it among us. It wasn’t as if all proceeds were going to some charity… sigh. (My info on this may be wrong, but even if there was a charity involved, no mention of the name of the charity nor it’s purpose was described at all.)

  I think the sermon should have been uninterrupted by silly marketing campaigns, to a captive audience, no less. It is a church, and it should concentrate on being one, not a profit-making enterprise, and certainly not as a platform for his wife’s singing career.

  It’s 8:16am and I haven’t slept all night, so I don’t think I’m making much sense, but I hope you know what I mean.

  this Puki Prince character from NCC looks like a ''smiling tiger'' or a ''money-hungry wolf''

  anyway, he has the word ''CONMAN'' virtually printed on his forehead !

  only mindless fools will believe a guy like him !

  is he Eurasian or what ???  he might as well claim he's the Prince of Egypt !!!!

   

  LOL.............it's amazing how many fools can fall for scamsters like Dong Kee and Puki Prince !

  Might be more to it than meets the eye.
