- I Passed my Audition!!! -


When I 1st attended LightHouse's Miracle Service in March, I went in and felt the Peace. Its something which I have not felt in a long time.

When the worship session starts, the feeling is so good. Everyone was singing and worshipping the Lord and although I don't know the songs, being a person who loves singing, I joined in to sing looking at the lyrics on the screen. LoL...

I noticed other than the Worship Leaders who consist of 2 sisters and 1 brother, there is a group of Choir at the back of the stage backing up the 3 Worship Leaders. Its the 1st time i notice them.

After a few months in Lighthouse, I came to know that different ministries does different things and all the people who serve are called Lighters. As for the choir, they are called Praislighters. Praislighters belong to a ministry called Praislight which provides backup support singing for the English worship services.

From then on, I was thinking whether I should join this ministry cos I love singing. Kai Ma and Kai Yeh both encourage me to give it a try. Last month, there is a calling for recruitment of Praislighters. I decide to give it a try.

To use the gift that God has given me to serve him is the best way to serve!

Sister Girle called me up and ask me to go for Audition, I was told to prepare a song and it will be sang in A Cappella, no music, just pure voice. Preferably christian song. After which, they will check my vocal range. Sad to say, although I love to sing, I don't know my vocal range. LoL... No proper music training before too.

I was struggling as to which song to sing. Ryan suggested that I should sing "Above All" but the lyrics of it is so complicated. Alot of different Above All to memorise. So I was thinking whether to sing "Still/Be Still and Know" or "All the Earth" by Don Moen. These are the 2 songs which I like, then another song came into my mind "I Belong to You" a Lighthouse self composed song by brother Douglas or is it Pastor Pacer. LoL. Decided to sing "Still/ Be Still and Know" and started practicing it.

But few days before the Audition, I decide listen to Ryan's suggestion to sing "Above All"! Got the lyrics and started memorising it!

The day came, 8th August 2009, 5pm at Shalom room. Was there and a sister is already there. There were a total of 5 who came for this audition, I am the only guy there. At 5pm Sister Girle and Nova came and told us that the audition is on a first come first serve basis but the sister who came before me ask me to go 1st, ok then. I will go 1st!

Was in Shalom room and both sisters say, sing when you are ready. Started singing... Was asked to stop before I went into chorus. After that, sister Girle played on the keyboard to check my vocal range.

Was asked to go out of the room to wait while the 2 sisters discuss. After about 30secs, I was asked to go in again. Sister Girle told me some administration requirements that I have to meet before joining, some of which I have not met, but she still passed my Audition! I am in Praislight!!! :D

Praise The Lord!!
