for Five Years
After opening their first store
in Eastwood City Walk in 2013,
Worship Generation—a brand of
Christian-themed merchandise
has now expanded to 21 stores
in major malls and developments
all over the country.
Worship Generation offers shirts, hoodies,
stickers, caps, bags, notebooks and other
merchandise that seek to make worship
a lifestyle – to express and make space
for faith in the world through these items
which people wear and use every day.
“We want to advance the Good News of what
Jesus Christ has done for us – that He is
God who became man, who gave up His life
for us, offering the gift of forgiveness and
salvation to everyone who believes. And we
want to share the hope that it promises for
everyone. This is ultimately what Worship
Generation wants to accomplish,” Ken Sy,
Product and Brand Development Head of
the brand said.
The year 2018 promises to be an exciting
year for Worship Generation as they seek
to improve their online store (worshipgen.
com), open more stores, and continue
to connect and gather people and
communities for the promotion of the
Gospel.
“This year, on our 5th year, we are looking
to further solidify not just our brand’s
identity and the service we provide but
also how our brand can add value to all
our stakeholders,” Kirk Damasco, Business
Development Head of the brand said.
And as they enter their 5th year with all
these plans, Worship Generation and
everyone behind them continue to rely on
what has brought them where they are in
the first place: God’s amazing grace and
provision.
