When I participated in BFA distributions, it was the same deal. People were obviously curious as to what the RcV was and what our relationship with the publisher was, but we just told them that we were volunteers for Bibles for America. I remember being specifically instructed to avoid answering the "what church do you attend?" question.
As Christians, the Bible instructs us to walk in the light. It really nauseates me to think that we made some amount of effort to obscure our true connections when making contact with the public. Telling the partial truth was commonplace, and even an occasional "white lie" was spoken. All for what? It wasn't about the gospel so much as it was attempting to bring WL to a broader audience.

Hi Freedom and HERN
The video links provided by Koinonia are posted in the channel called “Home Trainings Church of God Singapore”. In the “About” tab of this channel, it mentions that “T
his channel is for the promotion of the 2nd Initiative (home training) of the Church of God in Singapore.”
I have some understanding of the situation in Singapore. Currently there is a “five initiatives” plan in Singapore to increase the number of saints in the church.
Initiative 2 (which was in those youtube videos) is to conduct home trainings so that there will be more new serving ones.
Initiative 5 involves contacting and having dialogue with Christian believers.
To this end, “Life-O” was set up in which forums are conducted. If you visit the webpage/facebook page, you will not find the link with LSM
