Information about the Night Safari on the websiteCome and experience the night life with a difference!
The world's first wildlife park built for visits at night, the Night Safari is not like any ordinary zoo illuminated by the night or a modern version of nocturnal houses found in many zoos around the globe.
Nestled in 40 hectares of lush secondary forest, the Night Safari offers guests the unique experience of exploring wildlife in a tropical jungle at night. Through the use of subtle lighting technique, guests are able to view over 1,000 nocturnal animals of 100 species in vast naturalistic habitats.
The birth of the Night Safari is a result of a combination of factors. The overwhelming response to night tours conducted at the Zoo in the late 1980s indicated a demand for wholesome night entertainment. Displaying tropical animals at night seemed ideal since 90% of them are nocturnal and, therefore, most active after dusk. Moreover, Singapore is blessed with sunset taking place punctually at 7.30pm, dependably cool nights and little rainfall. These operational advantages make outdoor night attraction perfect.

THE FAITH RELEASERS Recently, I saw a book entitled "The Dream Releasers" by Wayne Cordeiro. This phrase really inspired me. I believe God wants us to be "The Faith Releasers" too. God desires us to be full of faith and expectation for the awesome things He can do. Too often, we walk in fear, doubt and unbelief because we lack faith in God. There are three things I would like to share about being "Faith Releasers" based on the story of blind Bartimaeus receiving his sight.
Mark 10:46-52 Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the Son of Timaeus), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called to the blind man, "Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you." Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. "What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him. The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see." "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. Mark 10:47
Who we trust can determine the outcome and direction in life. This blind man knew he could not trust in himself to restore his sight. There was nothing he could do and the doctors could not help his blindness. He decided to put his trust in someone greater than himself. He placed his trust in the promise of God in Jesus Christ. God promised to the world in Genesis that He would send His Son to the Jewish people. The Messiah would come from the line of King David. The Messiah would be able to help the people and perform signs and wonders. The blind man believed in the promises of God. He believed that Jesus was not just a carpenter, a teacher or a good person but the Son of God. His faith was based on what He heard from others.
God wants us to place our trust in Him because He is perfect. We ourselves can fail, people can fail us but God never fails us. When we trust God, we will see the goodness of God.
Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more,"Son of David, have mercy on me!" Mark 10:48
Sometimes our trust in God diminished when we encounter challenges or obstacles. This blind man faced some big obstacles. There were too many people crowded around Jesus; he was blind and unable to reach to Jesus. He did not give up but shouted even louder than before to get Jesus’ attention. Don’t give up when things don’t go as smooth as you desire. God wants to help us overcome the obstacles we faced in life. What are your current obstacles for God to help you overcome?
The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” Mark 10:51b
This blind man asked Jesus for a miracle. He asked Jesus to do the impossible: open his blinded eyes. What Jesus has done for others, Jesus could do for him. Do you have faith for God to see great miracles in your life, family and businesses? Can you believe in God before seeing the result? This man received his sight after Jesus prayed for him.
Let us be a "Faith Releaser" so we can see more God's blessings in our lives.
