Meloldy Cinta - Jenny Liew |
| |
[ LISTEN ]
 |
Siinger-songwriter, Jenny Liew worships at Georgetown Baptist Church, Penang together with her husband, Joe and their two children. She has been serving in the Music & Worship Ministry for the past 23 years, with the last 14 years as a Worship Leader.
Melodi Cinta” is her debut album released under the label Infinity Creative Works. The first song in the album, “Malaysia UntukMu” has been adopted as the accompanying song for the NECF’s Nationwide 40-Day Fast and Prayer 2006 launch program.
This album is a testimony God’s provision because she had only 3 songs when she embarked on the project. As she took a step of faith to produce this album, the Lord continued to inspire her to write another 3 songs. Each song had a story to tell. By the time she compiled all the songs, she noticed that the theme that runs through the whole album is on God’s unfailing love. Thus, the appropriateness of the title “Melodi Cinta” which means “ Melodies of Love”.
Calling herself a “songwriter as inspired by God”, her desire is to see a great multitude of people from every nation, tribe, people and language standing before the throne of the Lord to worship Him.

GTLim – Child of God |
| |
 |
GTLim or Pastor Lim Gee Tiong is fondly known by his church members as the singing pastor. This is not surprising as he has released 12 albums. His recent release Child of God was recorded in Singapore and produced by Mandarin pop arrangers Martin Tang, Kenn C and Jonathan Koh. This album features Christian songs written by GTLim in Hokkien. This is his third Hokkien album, the other nine are in Mandarin. He began writing songs as a university student in New Zealand in 1988. In 1991, he returned to Malaysia and released his debut album Chase After Life . He continued to write songs and release albums, even after becoming the pastor of Blessed Church in Kuching in 1995.
It was with his fifth album, Hold My Hand that gave GTLim a breakthrough. The title track, a Hokkien song about trusting in God, became a hit here, and in Singapore and Indonesia.
Lim, who has been channeling proceeds from his albums to his church or charity, will always see himself as a pastor first. “Singing is a secondary calling. Whenever the two clash, singing has to give way,” he said.

Paroimia – Youth Ministry of Full Gospel Assembly, KL (FGAKL Youth)
|
| |
 |
Paroimia, which means parable in Greek, drew inspiration from the Wordless book, or as some would call it the “Book of Colors”. In 2006, the FGA Youth produced a 15 minutes production entitled "Wordless", with absolutely no dialog. The message was communicated though drama, interpretive dance and colors. Drawing from that experience, the FGA Youth have returned to produce their second “musical drama and dance” entitled Paroimia directed by Darren Ong. The music and sound tracks of Paroimia are all their original music written and produced by Darren Ong. Another song writer Joe Loy wrote the song Love Came Down.
This musical drama is about a prince who was born in the Golden City. His name was Prince Elyon. That same day, the commander of the Golden Army, Kieron, led a rebellion against the King and stole away the citizens. It had been foretold that a day like that would come, when a savior would be needed. He would have to die in exchange for the citizens’ freedom. His blood for theirs. Prince Elyon was to be that savior.
Will Elyon be able to wipe the darkness of Kieron out? Will the people ever be free from the clutches of Kieron? Well, you will have to see Paroimia to find out. Hopefully the FGAKL Youth will decide to stage this musical drama again. Maybe you can persuade one of their members to lend you their DVD.
