Prayer And Sacrifice
After much prayer, God confirmed within the hearts of the leaders that it was time to build a church building of their own.
They found a suitable plot of industrial land that was about to be developed in Taman Perindustrian UEP, Subang Jaya, and made the necessary plans to purchase. Naturally, the idea sounded a little ‘wild’ to the members. Relying on 300 people to raise RM1.3 million for the land and a further RM7 million for the building in the thick Construction of of the Asian financial crisis seemed like a monumental task. Up till then, it was quite simply the largest mountain ever the church had to scale. Nonetheless, many caught the vision and sacrificed greatly – selling their homes, giving from their hard-earned savings and some even maxed out their credit cards to see the project through. Others did not see the need, and subsequently left the church. It is no secret that it was a trying season for FGT.
As prayer meetings continued to pick up steam, testimonies abound of how God had blessed those who had sacrificed. This helped strengthened the faith of all around, and the church pressed ahead with the project. After seven years, in 2002, Wisma Eagles was completed debt-free in the face of an economic downturn. Meanwhile, God also enabled FGT to acquire more land – to the right of the main church building as well as the three plots across of it, respectively nicknamed “Jericho” and project “Mission Possible”. At the time of writing, work on building the multi-complex that houses the Eagles Dialysis Centre (EDC) and the Youth Centre on one of these plots of land is almost complete.
