Reaching Nationals for Nationals
September 2013
Hi Friend,
Training Nationals for Nationals
in integrity and skills
(Psalm 78:72)
We are at the last quarter of 2013. How time flies! With all the economic and political turmoil, wars and rumors of war, and earthquakes and pestilences, surely Jesus is coming quickly. How the Gospel of our Lord and Savior needs to be preached and taught to the ends of the world. Yes, the King’s business requires haste. We, His citizens must invite others into His Kingdom.
Faith at Work Fellowship network and collaborate with some pastors, leaders and churches for the training of Nationals for Nationals. In the training of pastors and leaders, we are multiplying God’s ministry. In the training of Nationals, we believe that they are God’s unique channels for and to their own.
Some of our trainers include Rev. Dr Yap Kim Sin (Zion BP), Rev. Robert Chew (Moriah BP), Rev. Mark Tay (Sembawang BP), Rev. Simon N (Galilee BP), Rev. Tan Eng Boo (Grace BP), Rev. Yap Beng Shin (Olivet BP) and Mr. John Ching (Life BP). Three of these are undergoing Doctor of Ministry studies with another from Myanmar. These trainers have trained with God’s giftedness in places, such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nepal, Myanmar, China, Kenya and Tanzania.
We usually network with key pastors or leaders in the countries who in turn will bring in their contacts. In countries where there are Bible schools, we train as adjunct teachers. In others, we offer degree program under Asia Seminary for Ministry.
We also offer support in providing dental, medical and educational care. Places like Cambodia need teachers in English, Teaching, Computer, business and nursing. For some pastors and widows in Nepal, we provide two female goats per family. The needs are so many. We yearn to be all things to all, that we may bring many to Jesus Christ. We are praying for some good mission teams 2014 to help in some countries. Please let us know your interest.
