From Living Rooms to Nations
Faith at Work. Revival at Home.
We are a bi-vocational family on mission. Homes, workplaces, and daily callings become altars of revival, carrying the Gospel from families to nations.
Our Story
When Faith Met God’s Timing.
We didn’t begin from a stage.
There were no spotlights, no crowds—only a living room, a few sisters praying in unity, and a clear vision given by God.
In July 2024, Pastor Hong Yan entered into 14 days of fasting and prayer, seeking only God’s heart, longing to fulfill the Great Commission and preach the gospel to all nations. During that season of unceasing prayer, God gave her the name “Holy Heart” and three prophetic dreams pointing toward unreached peoples. At the same time, Elder Joseph Soo carried a deep burden to plant a church in his hometown of Malaysia. God was aligning His call with human hearts, weaving vision and desire into one.
A bowl of laksa became a sign of God’s extraordinary plan.
God’s confirmations were everywhere—sometimes through something as simple as a bowl of laksa. The night before, Pastor Hong Yan dreamed of a car. The very next day, Elder Joseph Soo called to meet, and when he arrived, he was driving the exact same car she had seen in her dream. In that moment, she knew God was at work. Over a simple lunch of laksa, God confirmed His extraordinary plan.
A car accident destroyed metal, but preserved purpose.
When the pandemic brought the world to a halt, God was still speaking. He revealed His call through repeated dreams, through a divine encounter with a missionary pastor, and even through a car accident—where the vehicle was completely destroyed, yet life was preserved. Out of that wreckage came clarity: Pastor Hong Yan was called and sent out to pioneer anew.
A family pool became the altar of HHIC opening a brand-new chapter.
The very first baptism did not take place in a church with stained glass and pews, but in a condominium pool in Singapore. There were no stage lights—only songs of worship, hearts knit together in family, and the unmistakable presence of the Holy Spirit. That simple ceremony marked the official birth of Holy Heart International Church.
From Singapore, the fire quickly spread—to Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, and Johor Bahru in Malaysia, Phnom Penh in Cambodia, and Osaka in Japan. Each place carried the same DNA: prayer in homes, discipleship in families, and revival birthed out of the ordinary.
This is more than just a church. This is a new chapter of the Book of Acts that the Holy Spirit is writing—through living rooms and dining tables, through simple faith and ordinary people accomplishing God’s extraordinary grace. And this story is still being written.

Timeline of God’s Work
Marking the moments where faith became movement.
2022-2023
Living Rooms of Fire
It started in homes. Living rooms turned into places of prayer, worship, and God’s Word. From the beginning, He gave us a clear DNA: compassion for people and a heart for nations — ordinary families carrying extraordinary fire.
2023-2024
Sparks into a Movement
In July, a poolside baptism in Singapore marked the birth of Holy Heart International Church (HHIC). One small act of faith became a growing family on mission. Soon after, communities took root in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Ipoh (Malaysia), and Osaka (Japan).
2024–2025
From Homes to Nations
From there, new doors opened across the region — in the Philippines, Indonesia, and beyond — until Singapore emerged as the global HQ, entrusted with the bold call of 33 churches by 2033.
2025–2028
Altars in Everyday Life
This season is about depth. Leaders are being raised, disciples strengthened, and everyday believers stepping out as bi-vocational missionaries — carrying faith into workplaces, campuses, and the unreached.

“All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever.”
