In this episode of I Can’t Believe It’s Worship!, Lester O and Lester S sit down with Dave Wong, Worship Pastor at Faith Community Church, for an honest conversation about life, leadership, and ministry behind the scenes.

Dave shares his personal journey into full-time ministry, reflecting on the moments that shaped his calling and the path that led him into worship leadership. Together, they unpack what the worship ministry at FCC looks like in practice—its culture, values, and rhythms.

The conversation also explores the successes and mistakes Dave has experienced over the years of leading the worship ministry, offering real-world insights into growth, humility, and learning through failure.

This episode is a candid look at worship ministry from the inside—rooted in faithfulness, shaped by experience, and centred on serving the local church.

In this special episode of I Can’t Believe It’s Worship!, Lester O and Lester S sit down with Ps. Benny Ho, the immediate past Senior Pastor of Faith Community Church, where he led for over 20 years through a season of remarkable growth. Now serving as Leadership Mentor, Ps. Benny continues to invest in leaders through Love Singapore, Arrows College, and Arrows Resources, and is widely recognised as a respected Bible teacher, church consultant, and conference speaker.

Together, they explore How Worship Ministry Has Evolved Over the Years of Ps. Benny's Ministry
From Ps. Benny’s early call to pastoral ministry to his present role mentoring leaders, the conversation unpacks:

• The significant shifts observed in the global church and worship movement.

• How worship shapes spiritual formation and disciple-making.

• The theological tensions surrounding songs written by ministries with questionable doctrine.

• And the megatrends likely to define the future of worship ministry.

Listeners are invited to gain wisdom from decades of ministry experience and reflect on how worship can continue to evolve—anchored in truth, discipleship, and the presence of God.

In the final part of our Worship on Mission mini-series, Lester O and Lester S share from the heart as they reflect on the missional half of our worship trip to Japan.

From stepping into an elementary school to share the gospel with 180 students, to singing at a café, hosting a music event for adult English learners, and witnessing open hearts respond to the message of Jesus — this leg of the journey was filled with powerful moments of connection, joy, and tears.

As the trip concluded with a farewell dinner that left everyone deeply moved, the Lesters open up about how God stirred their hearts for Japan and the people they met.

This episode captures the emotion, hope, and calling that emerged from this unforgettable time of worship and mission.
Join us as we laugh, cry, and worship together for the nation of Japan — that it may know the love of Christ.

In Part 3 of our Worship on Mission mini-series, Lester O and Lester S sit down to reflect on the ministry highlights from the first half of our worship missions trip to Japan.

We talk about the worship seminars that were held at Hope Christ Church in Kagoshima, the combined worship seminar in Miyazaki that brought together believers from multiple churches, and the meaningful time spent ministering at Hope Baptist Church in Aira.

This episode captures the heart behind the trip—training, equipping, and worshipping alongside the Japanese church—and what was learned about God’s presence moving powerfully through unity, humility, and song.

Join us as we look back on how God worked through these moments and worship together with us for what He’s continuing to do in Japan.

In Part 2 of our Worship on Mission mini-series, Lester O and Lester S speak with Pastor Matsumoto, senior pastor of Hope Christ Church in Kagoshima, Japan.

A first-generation Christian, Pastor Matsumoto shares his powerful testimony of salvation and his journey into pastoral ministry—how God called him to shepherd His people in a land where the gospel is still taking root.

We discuss the current spiritual landscape of Japan, the impact of partnerships with churches from Singapore and Faith Community Church Perth, and the growing sense of unity among believers for the sake of the gospel.

Pastor Matsumoto also shares his hopes and dreams for revival in Japan and his perspective on the role of worship in preparing hearts for that move of God.

Be encouraged and inspired as we join hearts with our brothers and sisters in Japan and catch a glimpse of God’s heart for this nation.

In the first episode of our Worship on Mission mini-series, Lester O and Lester S sit down with Kevin, a missionary from Perth, Western Australia, who left behind life as a banker and barista to serve in Kagoshima, Japan.

Kevin shares his journey of being called to Japan, the preparations and challenges of missions, and what it means to live out worship as a living sacrifice in a nation where less than 1% of people are Christian.

We talk about life on the mission field, the role of worship in evangelism, and Kevin’s hopes and dreams for revival in Japan.

Join us in this conversation—and worship with us—as we explore how obedience, surrender, and song come together in God’s global mission.

Hosts Lester O and Lester S sit down with Pastor Daniel Yan, Senior Pastor of Faith Community Church, for a candid conversation about worship and disciple-making. Pastor Dan shares the personal journey that led him to shepherd FCC and explains what makes the church’s disciple-making identity unique.

Together they explore big questions:

• Shouldn’t disciple-making be central to every church?

• Why does the music segment hold such priority in a worship service?

• What should a worship ministry look like in a church that’s intentionally making disciples?

• What dreams does Pastor Dan carry for the future of FCC’s worship ministry?

Lean in and let this discussion inspire your own vision for worship and discipleship—and join us in worshipping and growing together as you listen.

Join hosts Lester O and Lester S as they recap and relive Worship Together 2025, an unforgettable night organised by Rev Dr Michael Battersby and The King’s Worship Academy. Worshippers from across Perth gathered with hearts wide open, and we were joined by four inspiring guest worship leaders—Fiona Jones, Christian Nafie, Ned Davies, and Jade-Lori.

Each guest shared the story behind their personal “go-to” worship song, then led the room in the very song that carries their testimony.

Press play and worship along with us as you hear the conversations, the music, and the moments of God’s presence that made the night so special.

What happens when a hundred voices come together to worship as one?

In this special episode, we take you behind the scenes of the inaugural FCC 100 Choir—from the heart-stirring idea, to the powerful moment it all came together on stage.

Join Lester O and Lester S as they share how the plan was born, what the journey looked like, and how God moved through the people who said “yes.” You’ll also hear testimonies from the crowd and reflections on what this choir meant for the church community.

Whether you’re a worshipper or someone who just loves seeing the church come alive, this episode will lift your spirit and stir your faith.

What role do instruments play in worship? The Hebrew word Zamar points us to the practice of praising God through music—literally making melody on instruments as an act of worship.

In this final episode of the Hebrew Praise Words series, Lester O and Lester S explore the meaning of Zamar, its biblical roots, and how instrumental music shapes our expressions of praise today.
