The Intentional Disciplemaking Church (IDMC) Conference in Singapore, spearheaded by Covenant Evangelical Free Church these past 32 years, was held for the final time on September 4 and 5.
The word “Worthy” was emblazoned across the extensive LED screen at Hall 1 of Expo as over 3,300 delegates from 30 countries and 261 churches gathered in exuberant praise and worship.
It was a fitting start to this year’s conference. The theme “Let Incense Arise” was a resounding call to align believers’ hearts to God through a life of worship and prayer, for He alone is worthy.
This year, prayer tents were set up within the hall to provide attendees with an intimate space to linger in prayer with God throughout the conference.
“The greatest need of discipleship is the discipleship of depth … God is calling us to a deeper intimacy,” Reverend Edmund Chan exhorted those gathered during his session, “Waves of Revival”. The Leadership Mentor of Covenant Evangelical Free Church preached from Joel 2, as he urged the people to return to the Lord with all their hearts, through fervent prayer and authentic worship.
“Authenticity in worship is anchored upon the knowledge of God,” he said, “That’s why, it’s impossible to walk in authentic worship without the Word of God.”
Plenaries and workshops covered the theology, principles, practice and forms of prayer and worship, including one focused on the whys and hows of intercessory prayer through adapting worship songs.
This annual flagship disciplemaking conference has been a mainstay in Singapore’s local church calendar for over two decades. Started by Ps Edmund in 1995, it evolved from being a half-day church-based seminar to a three-day conference at the Singapore Expo, ministering to tens of thousands of delegates over 32 years.
When COVID happened, the conference moved online, a move that brought disciplemaking to even more churches, in particular those overseas who could not attend in person.
