PRAYING FOR COWORKERS IN OUTREACH

By Asst Ps Gift Daniel

 

The need for prayer is ever increasing. We are standing at a point in church history that the church of Jesus Christ is facing unprecedented challenges and oppositions.

GOOD NEIGHBOURS FUNDRAISING

Charity, or almsgiving, is an expression of Christian love and mercy for others. While this is part of our holistic Christian discipleship, it is often also considered a Lenten practice that allows us to let go of our own desires and focus on the needs of the less fortunate.

 

This Lent, you can partner us in showing love and hospitality to the West Coast and Clementi community by giving to our upcoming Good Neighbours initiatives. To fund these initiatives, we are raising a total of $37,000. We invite you to give from a grateful heart, out of the abundance that God has first given to us.

 

  1. New Blocks Outreach

  • Deliver a welcome gift to at least 1,127 units of new residents as an expression of our neighbourly love.

    Watch this space for more information on this initiative! 

  1. Adopt-A-Family ‍‍‍

  • We thank God for allowing us to bring the love of Jesus to 20 low-income families in the West Coast and Clementi area last year. 

  • In 2023, we will continue to be Jesus’ hands and feet to up to 30 families, infusing the hope of the gospel through love and practical help.  

 

A collection bag will be passed during the weekend services on 1 & 2 April. Alternatively, you can give electronically and indicate: ‘GNI23’. Additional funds collected will be channelled to other Good Neighbours initiatives.

RETREAT CENTRE FOR LENT

To facilitate an extended time of reflection this Lent season, the church is opening up the studio at 1A Jubilee Road to be booked for personal retreats.

 

While we may be familiar with retreats involving structured worship sessions, a speaker and discussions, a personal retreat is slightly different. It is a practice of setting aside time and space to focus on your relationship with God and how this relationship impacts your overall well-being. The extended time spent isn’t necessarily about intense Bible study, but more about being intentionally present with the Lord. The goal of retreat is to become a lover of God, to be loved by him, and to be open to the Spirit’s leading.

 

If you are interested, please click here and state your preference for a 3D2N slot starting 22 February (Ash Wednesday) to 7 April (Good Friday). There will be a recommended love gift to help cover the cleaning and use of the studio.

 

For more information, please contact Tan Beng Hwee at benghwee@biblechurch.sg or Leong Pei De at leongpeide@gmail.com.

CRUX 1ST ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

Testify Series: Jemima Ooi

16 April 2023

2-3.40pm (followed by light refreshments)

 

Crux is turning 1! And we have invited Jemima Ooi, a young adult missionary in Africa, to be our speaker.

 

Come hear the story of how God led a young adult who graduated with First Class honours, the top student in National University of Singapore’s School of Communications and New Media, to take the road less travelled, helping to rebuild war-affected communities, serving refugees and rape victims, church planting etc. in some of the most broken places on earth. Be inspired as Jemima shares stories of how she knew from a young age that her journey in life would not be an ordinary one, and how her decisions have impacted her, her family, friends and those around her.

 

Everyone, especially young adults, is invited to come, learn, and celebrate with us!

UPCOMING MISSIONS TRIPS TILL JUNE 2023

Please click here for some details of the upcoming mission trips.

 

The exact dates for some of the above trips are to be confirmed. Please check with the respective contact persons about the dates and programmes or you may contact Asst Ps Gift Daniel at giftdaniel@biblechurch.sg.

 

During the second half of the year, we plan to send mission teams to Nepal and to selected locations where our EquipAsia training is going on. These teams will be smaller in size and may include travel to remote places and have a specific ministry focus. If you are interested to go for mission trips to Nepal or to EquipAsia countries, please contact Asst Ps Gift Daniel.

 

Pre-Mission Trip Training

To derive the maximum benefit from the mission trips, we have certain guidelines for mission trippers. One of them is to attend the pre-mission trip orientation cum training session. The training provides an overall understanding of missions and attempt to address questions such as: Why go on a short-term mission trip? What are the Do’s and Don’ts of a mission trip? What can you expect from a mission trip? How to avoid turning a mission trip into a holiday trip, etc.? All our mission trippers are expected to go through this training. Please participate in the training even if you are not sure of your participation in a trip, but are considering a trip in the next 2 years.

Date: 6 May 2023 (Sat)

Time: 10.00am – 12noon (on Zoom)

 

Please register here to indicate your interest.
