About
Preparation for the Times (PFTT) is God's emphasis for the decade of the 2020s, calling His people to get ready for the Dawning of a New Era in the 2030s and beyond.
The goal of preparation is to become the people prophesied about in Daniel 11:32–33. These people will shine like stars amidst darkness and guide many in the days of darkness ahead (Dan 12:3, Isa 60:1–3).
God is calling His people through Isaiah 42:23:
Who among you will give ear to this?
Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
Wisdom is to understand “the time to come” and “know what to do”!
The time is urgent and short. However, His grace is sufficient as we begin to run in preparation.
We invite you to begin your journey of preparation today.
The 4 Key Traits of the Daniel 11:32–33 People
The Daniel 11:32–33 template of preparation is anchored around 4 key traits that provide a clear path for growth into maturity.
Daniel 11:32–33 says,
...but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits. And those of the people who understand shall instruct many...
The Daniel 11:32–33 people are those who:
- Know God: they walk intimately with God, know and understand His heart, and have real history with the Living God.
- Are Strong: they walk in holiness, righteousness and the Joel 2 lifestyle.
- Holiness — wholehearted in love, radical in obedience, relentless in trust, and reckless in abandonment.
- Righteousness — humility, purity in heart, devotion to the truth, and integrity.
- The Joel 2 lifestyle — a lifestyle according to Joel 2:12–17.
- Carry out Great Exploits: they have authority in prayer and intercession, moving in the supernatural and the prophetic.
- Understand: they know and understand God's Biblical narrative (i.e. redemptive plan for Israel, the nations, and the End Times), and are able to instruct others with clarity and make sense of God's word.

- Engage God at the place of prayer and engage one another through holy conversations (Jn 15:4–5, Heb 10:24–25)
Testimonials
This course syllabus clearly outlines and provides the framework to equip me – It addresses these questions that I have been pondering and praying about for quite some time: How then shall I live at such a time as this? What and how shall I prepare for the Times?
– Wong Jia Niang
This course is so relevant for the times and I like how it has been curated into a curriculum that makes so much sense. Thank you for doing this! I heard some of this teaching before but I feel that the Holy Spirit is making it come alive now – in 2023 – and giving understanding Himself. So it’s different coming under this same teaching in 2023 vs 2013.
– Edna Koh
This online equipping course helps my family and I to be more spiritually strengthened, devoted to Christ and prepared for the times to come.
– Andrew Wong

Is PFTT (Intro) a theological course? Will I get a certificate at the end of the course?
No, Preparation for the Times (Intro) is not a theological course.
What does it mean to "engage God" personally as I go through PFTT (Intro)?
It means that more than just acquiring cognitive knowledge and committing information to memory, the teaching content is meant to be applied to our daily prayer lives, Scripture meditation, and align our decision-making to be based on Biblical truth.
One basic way to "engage God" with the material is to talk to Him about what you have learnt, ask the Holy Spirit for deeper understanding, and for grace to live it out.
Another way is to put into practice what you have learnt through the material — for example, setting aside time regularly to read the Word and pray.
Where can I find people to converse with?
We strongly encourage finding one or 2 others to journey together with, as going through this together with someone else helps us to spur each other on this journey, sharpen one another to gain clarity, and be accountable to press in for transformation as you engage God.
How do I bring what I have learnt to the place of corporate prayer?
You can gather with one or more other believers to pray together in light of the messages that you have listened to. Alternatively, you are welcome to join us at our Prayer Room for corporate prayer. Please see our prayer room schedule for our sessions.
Is prayer that important in this journey?
Yes! Even though prayer is a simple spiritual discipline in the Christian faith, it is the most significant and essential for every believer.
Prayer is the means that God has given us to relate and partner with Him. It is not just talking to God, but talking with Him.
Furthermore, it is only in God that we can grow to become the Daniel 11:32-33 people, as apart from Him we cannot bear fruit. Therefore, it is very important that we bring our learning to the place of prayer so that in that place of communion, we are transformed by the One who is raising up the Daniels of our time.
