“I met God at the El Shaddai Conference over the weekend. You know how sometimes you go to a conference expecting a theme of some sort - revival, prayer, worship, breakthrough, - but at the end you realise you got the better end of the deal just knowing that you’re there just to be in intimacy with God?” said Weiting, a Navigator student from the National University of Singapore.
Some 800 participants from different churches attended the conference and about 1,400 people came for the Michael Card concert organised by NavMedia, the materials arm of the Navigators Singapore, together with B.L.E.S.S. Christian Book Store and Covenant Evangelical Free Church (CEFC).
Best known for his song, “El-Shaddai,” theologian, Christian singer, composer, and book author Michael Card explained the lyrics, “God has so many names because he is too big to be known by just one name… and because he wants to be known by us.”
In a career that spans 25 years, Card has recorded over 20 albums, authored or co-authored over 14 books, hosted two radio programs, and written for a wide range of magazines. His song “El Shaddai” was named one of the “365 Songs of the Century” by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts in 2001.
The conference was held from 6-7 February 2009 at CEFC.
