The Harvest 2025 Evangelism Celebration was held on September 27, 2025, at the Serian Conference Centre, bringing together thousands of believers in one spirit of praise and thanksgiving. The event gathered an amazing crowd of around 20,000 people, all united in worship and joy. The main speaker, Pastor Ian Felicitas, who serves as the SSD Field Secretary, shared a powerful message reminding everyone that “Sabbath is the sign of your salvation.” He also encouraged all Christians to become “honest servants by fully surrendering their lives to God.” His sermon touched many hearts and strengthened the faith of those who attended.

This grand celebration was part of the Southern Region’s Harvest 2025 Evangelism program, which also included five satellite stations across the region. Each station had strong attendance and active participation every night. Tarat Mawang hosted many faithful members with lively worship. Tarat Sibala welcomed around 150 people, while Ampungan Station gathered about 190 attendees each night. The Kuching station had around 250 people, and Dewan Isu Sadia saw about 300 attendees throughout the meetings.

Experienced evangelists were assigned to each area to lead the meetings with inspiring messages. Among them were Pr. Andrew Ganya and Pr. Semilee Tajau at the Simunjan area, Pr. Justine Ginsud at Ampungan, Field secretary, Pr Ian Felicitas and Rozelene Gulon at Tarat Mawang, Pr. Jim Gabu at Tarat Sibala, and Pr. Ian Felicitas at Kuching. Their teamwork and dedication helped to bring the gospel message of hope and salvation to many homes. Every evening was filled with heartfelt singing, sharing of testimonies, and the preaching of God’s Word.

The highlight of the event was on Sabbath, when the spirit of revival filled the air. The program was filled with songs of praise, testimonies from new believers, and moments of prayer. The most joyful part came when 112 precious souls were baptized, choosing to follow Jesus fully. The sight of people stepping into the water symbolized the success of the evangelism efforts and the work of the Holy Spirit in transforming lives.

The Harvest 2025 Evangelism Celebration ended with renewed commitment among members to continue spreading God’s message of love and truth. It was truly a day to remember, full of faith, joy, and unity. As everyone returned home, their hearts were filled with gratitude and hope, knowing that the mission continues until every soul is reached for Christ.
