“#GO is joining God where He is at work. It is about giving hope to the lost and transforming lives through Jesus.”
– Cru Singapore
In July 2024, the Media Ministry (MM) team embarked on our very first #GO mission trip where we had the +privilege of seeing God at work in a rural orphanage.
Unsure of what to expect, we were initially filled with trepidation and anxiety about the trip.
Were we adequately prepared? Will the children enjoy the lessons and activities prepared for them? Would we adapt well to our new environment?
By God’s grace, all the prepared activities – from Bible study lessons, worship sessions, carnival games, telematch games, gospel magic show to the grand finale concert – went off smoothly without major problems.
Filled with excitement and joy, the children were responsive and enthusiastic throughout. We could not have asked for a more appreciative audience.
Most of the children living at the orphanage already knew about Jesus as the home is managed by a pastor and his wife.
Nevertheless, three children responded to the call to salvation that
"The Lamb of God is the most important reality in the book of Revelation. It is about the 'Revelation of Jesus Christ' (Rev. 1:1). This can be understood as the revelation about Jesus and the revelation from Him."
— Bishop Emeritus Robert M Solomon, author, The Book Of Revelation: Encouragement For Troubled Times
Cru Media Ministry is privileged to partner Bishop Emeritus Robert Solomon in the publishing of his latest title, The Book Of Revelation: Encouragement For Troubled Times.
The book was launched on 1 May 2023 at his seminar, Making Sense of the Book of Revelation, at Barker Road Methodist Church.
Bishop Solomon, a former bishop of the Methodist Church in Singapore, has an active speaking and teaching ministry. He is also a prolific author of more than 50 Christian books on a wide range of topics.
He has written this new book to provide some helpful keys to understanding the book of Revelation.
It is indeed a hot topic, as people are curious about interpreting the disturbing events in our day, and man
Cru Media Ministry is privileged to be the resource partner of Gateway Church and Word One-to-One at their seminar on 6 Mar 2023.
Richard Borgonon, Founder and co-author of The Word One to One, challenged all on the use of the Bible in evangelism. It was a great reminder that when we open the Bible with someone, we are allowing God's word to speak directly to their hearts.
The Word One-to-One provides an opportunity to get together with a friend and see what the Bible says about Jesus. Very relational, accessible & intentional, it provides a guided walk-through of John’s Gospel in bite-sized episodes with helpful notes and great summaries of take-home points.
Richard’s passion is for every Christian to discover God actively at work in their own circle of contacts, as God builds His church through His Word. He shared great anecdotes and illustrations of how God is still at work today through the lives of anyone who is available for Him. He inspired many on a personal level with his
"…I have my library all around me, my cloud of witnesses to the strangeness and brilliance of human experience,
who have helped me to my deepest enjoyments of [life]."

Cru Singapore Media Ministry’s Biblio-Ministry to the Nations (BMTN) is about transforming communities for good through the power of literacy and reading broadly, reflectively, and empathetically. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with Asung’s and Nim’s Miracle Worchum Library Ministry in Ukhrul, Manipur. The couple’s vision is to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to Northeast India, and the library, opened in September 2020, is central to their ministry.
The Miracle Worchum library compliments BMTN’s primary objective, to promote the joy and discipline of reading with resources that benefit under privileged communities in emerging economies. The focus being on Christian print materials for children, and equipping leaders and families, where such resources are scarce. On top of improving literacy and community development, the couple hope that the children and their family will come to know the love and saving grace of God through Jesus Christ.
Asung and Nim are deeply grateful to those who have supported and journeyed with them. Many have donated books, and Cru Singapore Media Ministry (MM) is delighted to have had the privilege to do so too. Recently, MM dispatched seven cartons of books for the library. They
This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true. John 21:24
Amidst a year ‘like no other’ where many doors were forced to close, we have witnessed the opening of many more. From our new webstore, through publishing two local authors’ works, a children literacy webinar to a virtual booktable we’ve been blessed by, and are so thankful for, the fortitude, ingenuity, creativity and, above all, faithfulness of our ministry partners.
And then there is the incredible loyalty, generosity and encouragement of our customers who have not only generated record online sales this year but have begun to return in increasing number to our physical store – highlighted by our recent Supporters Appreciation Sale (SAS). Your virtual and physical presence is greatly appreciated and wonderful affirmation that MM's mission to win souls and save minds by placing Christ-centred resources into the right hands at the right time resonates with God’s heart.
As we remember the gra
Media Ministry invited ReadAble and Reading Roots to share their community literacy outreach programmes in Jalan Kukoh and MacPherson respectively as part of Cru's Webinar series 'Tuesday Talks'. Held on 29 September, the registration and subsequent attendance (75 signed up, 43 turned up, with highest concurrent viewership of 37) affirmed our joint belief that many in Singapore are concerned with the increasing demand on our young for higher-level literacy skills, the decline in their reading capability and enjoyment, and therefore their capacity to reach their God-given potential. Such concerns being exacerbated in poorly resourced communities.
By enabling children to acquire comprehensive, foundational literacy skills they gain the confidence to read, write, speak and communicate well. This ultimately enables their communities to develop greater resilience to the challenges, struggles, and institutions that can, despite worthy efforts to the contrary, serve to reinforce inequality and social division. In particular,

In September 2017, with the generous support of donors who helped fund the shipping costs, Media Ministry delivered over 700 books, with a retail value of approximately $13,000, to New Creation Ministry, Sekruzu, Nagaland.
As part of our reading advocacy month Cru Singapore Media Ministry (MM) was most thankful for the opportunity to visit and share with the seniors from Block 21, Toh Yi Drive, who frequent the Hannah Seniors Activity Centre (HSAC), which is located in the same block.
As Year 2018 draws to a close, our hearts are filled with gratitude to our Lord Jesus, and all of you for being so much a part of the exciting year we’ve had!
We are most delighted to be able to share a few testimonies that we’ve recently received from Pastor Fred Dungganon, Executive Director of the Bukang Liwayway (Dawn for the poor) Foundation, on its community libraries (Bookang Liwayway Libraries) project.
