Praise
the Lord! Breakthrough Missions will be relocating to its new premises in 2023.
The new centre will be named “Breakthrough Village”. Not only will it continue the vision and mission of
Breakthrough Missions, its development will also be based on the same community
hub model, offering various workshops and training programs to equip the
residents with work skills for their re-integration into society.
Training
programs have been planned for 12 enterprises to date. These include the café
business and services such as moving house, landscaping, home painting,
cleaning, car polishing, bookbinding, mounting paintings, copper tooling,
restoring furniture, haircutting, and the preparation and sale of honey-baked
ham. Breakthrough Village will also have a fitness centre, a library and
multimedia centre, a central kitchen and a centre for laundry services.
Across
the road from Breakthrough Village is
the bungalow which Breakthrough Missions rented in July 1983 to start its
journey of heavenly mission of Gospel-based rehabilitation. Praise the Lord!
Breakthrough Art &
Craft Café has been operating in its Chinatown premises (near the subordinate
courts) for 17 years. Its business was badly hit by Covid19. After much prayer,
and consultation with BT committee members, it was decided that the lease would
be renewed for another 6-12 months while we waited for the Lord’s guidance.
Owing to Breakthrough Missions’ relocation and related plans for future
development, we intend to purchase two shophouse units in Changi to continue
the Café’s mission of God’s heavenly kingdom. This social enterprise will
provide our brothers with training and work opportunities in the trade. The café will also be an ideal place where
many can come to know Christ through the life-transformation testimonies of our
brothers.
The government
plans to develop the Changi area and have it upgraded as a heritage site. This
will draw crowds of visitors to Changi Village, the beautiful Changi
beaches and Pulau Ubin, just off the shores at Changi.
Breakthrough Village and Breakthrough Café will also be places to visit
for families and church groups.
Praise the Lord! We found two shophouse units with food and beverage (F&B) approval for sale The total cost (purchase price and renovation) is $4,500,000. Praise the Lord, half the amount has been raised. We hope to reach the $4.5m target before the end of this year, 2021.
Dear
brothers and sisters in Christ, Breakthrough Missions earnestly invites you to
respond to the Lord’s loving call: join us in investing in the mission of the
Heavenly Kingdom, be God’s channel of blessing and contribute to this journey
of faith the Lord has commissioned Breakthrough Missions. Praise the Lord for
your partnership in the Gospel from the first day until now. I am confident that
He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of
Christ Jesus. All glory to the Lord! Amen!
