Life-Giving Tools (LGT) Series

The LGT series ran for 3 consecutive years between 2012-2014 starting in the Central District, Northern District then Perak District. Aimed at equipping every disciple of Christ with basic life-giving tools for spiritual growth, it involved an experiential awareness of God’s presence leading to conversation, communion and authentic personal transformation of the person towards holiness. The sessions were crafted to help in areas of deepening of prayer life, polishing of listening skills, honing of a discerning heart and cultivating of a posture of attentiveness to God in everyday life, in all places and at all times, both in good as well as dark patches.
