    It was a blast having you with us in Singapore. Big thanks for equipping the youth in our church!
  • @DavidEColon
    Right off the bat this is very interesting to listen to with all the "Wow!" Cheers from the crowd. It's cool to listen to overall cultural differences. You would not hear that at all in the West.
  • @megalopolis2015
    Sweetest students ever. They were so thoughtful, open, and enthusiastic to learn. A wonderful mixture of intellect and childlike faith. I Love them. ❤ Also, thank you for giving such great answers and connecting with them so much. You and your dad have such a gift for that.
  • @blakeman321
    Sean thank you so much for coming to Heart of God Church! Was a pleasure to hear! We have many young people at our church who learnt so much from you! They were very much equipped😊 We hope you see you again in Singapore soon😌 - Blake👟
  • @Disciple793
    To see the joy on these students faces from Singapore is truly amazing. Imagine how many years it took for faithful Christian Missionaries to take the Gospel to this part of the world. The Holy Spirit is always at work to draw people to Christ.
  • @meganpang1287
    Thank you Sean for coming all the way to speak to us, I was struck by how you answered so many questions with clarity and compassion. I caught how it's more important to get to the heart of why someone is asking something, rather than trying to persuade or convince them. If it's the truth, that's convincing in itself. Pure gold! I left your sharing feeling more empowered as a Christian, and greatly inspired to seek God's thoughts and point of view about different areas that we care about deeply in society today.
  • @jace76ful

  • @the-Carpenter
