History of the Assemblies of God in Singapore

The first Assemblies of God missionaries to Singapore reached this land in 1926. By 1928 they were meeting with a group of Cantonese-speaking Chinese in a thatched-roof chapel in Balestier Plain. Shortly afterward, they began services with English-speaking people.

In 1941, at the onset of World War II, all the missionaries were evacuated. On their return after the war, they found that the work had suffered. Little by little, these missionaries, together with others who came to help, were able to build up the work and open new missions.
