Hi friend,

Training Nationals for Nationals

in integrity and skills

(Psalm 78:72)

Praise the good Lord for some special times in Indonesia and Nepal.

1.      MEDAN, INDONESIA.

A.   Training (16-20 Sept) was done by Rev. Dr. Yap Kim Sin and Mr. Ding Yew Soong. This will conclude training for some for the Master of Ministry program.

B.  Graduation of 30 on Sat. 21 Sept.  We had the privilege and joy of graduating 49 two years ago. Now we are adding 30 to the list. The graduates are scattered throughout 290 million Indonesians.  We are in Medan four times a year and thus the students can complete the MMin degree in two years.

C.   We had a good praying and planning time with Rev. Hapason Siregar who is our point-man in Medan.  The Bible and College, “Sekolah Tinggi Teologi Injili Betania” is registered with the government and we are praying and planning with him to work on faculty, curriculum and resources.  The college can award degrees in theology and education. 

D.  He is at present building the third storey to the education centre to cater for the college students.  Please pray for and with us as we train in Indonesia.

2.     Training in Kathmandu, Nepal.

A.  Mr Ding Yew Soong and I with Benjamin Tsao as co-teacher trained some 55 pastors and leaders. We are mentoring Ben for missions ahead.

B.  Our point-man, Dil Tamang will be starting regular annual training for some invited leaders for certificate and diploma courses.

C. The Lord willing, we will be graduating some 30 students the next September, 2014.  We graduated 23 the last time. 

D.  Please pray for Nepal as it goes through political changes.

3.     Some quick dates ahead for prayer:

A.  Training in Mandalay, Myanmar, 30 October to 7 November. A team from Singapore will conduct Pastors’ Workshop.  Some pastors are working towards a Master degree.  Pray also for our point-man, Rev. James Biak Lian as he works on his dissertation for the Doctor of Ministry degree.  As he is equipped, we believe that the good Lord will use him to train his own people.

B.   Training in Medan, Indonesia, 18-22 November. Rev. Yap Beng Shin and Rev. Mark Tay will be the trainers.  Let us pray for a fresh batch of pastors and leaders to be trained.

C.   Myitkyina, Myanmar – Spiritual Conference, 21-27 Jan. 2014

We are praying for a good team to minister to the Fellowship of some 30 churches. The host church will be having its 25th Anniversary celebration. The emphasis will be on evangelism and revival. We are praying for souls to be saved and saints to be revived.  

4.    STOP PRESS!  In Singapore, Healthy Church Seminar, Sat. Nov. 9^th, (9am to 5pm), at Shalom BP Church, 4 Loyang Besar Close, Singapore 509025 (Tel. 65810311).

The church is not just an organization.  It is a living organism.  Any healthy organism will grow. The church will grow when it is healthy. It is not perfect, but as long as it is healthy, it will grow.  

We will do a case study of a Purpose-Driven church.  While we realize that one size does not fit all, we desire to learn from a church model and to begin our conversation to position our own church in His vision and purpose.

Please pray and plan to participate.  Do let us know so that we can pray and plan for you.

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.

June 2013

Hi friend,

Training Nationals for Nationals

in integrity and skills

(Psalm 78:72)

June month, our pastors and trainers were busy with church camps and retreats. These were special teaching as well as bonding times.  Jesus always called His disciples to come apart to rest and recharge. God is good to us for such times of refreshing and re-energizing. Truly, come ye apart or come ye apart. 

MYANMAR (Jun. 16 - 21)

The Golden Land is now more open to the outside world. Lots of investments are in hotel, educational and health services and other industries. Even Coke is making its comeback. How we need to pray and seek the good Lord for His will and blessing in this open door. Truly, when He opens, no man can shut. 

A team of five pastors took time to visit three Bible colleges and an orphanage in June.  For some, it was the first time. There were good times of the sharing of the Word of God and of interaction with the leaders, students and people. We are praying for trainers to be raised up to train Nationals. 

God continues to work in our hearts and we are now praying and planning for the Pastors’ Workshop (30 Oct. - 8 Nov.) and for the National Spiritual Convention (29 Jan. 2014 - 3 Feb. 2014). Please pray and do let us know if you can participate with us.

MEDAN, INDONESIA (Jun. 24-28)

A good team with Rev. Haposan as interpreter taught in Medan.  Pastor Freddy Yong taught on the prophetic book of Nahum while Mr. Ding trained on Communication Skills. The 40+ students were blessed.

Some students had already completed their requirements for MMin degree and we will be graduating them on Sep. 21.  Classes will be held 16 - 20 Sep. We will need some ties for the graduating men and some shawls for the ladies. Please let us know if you can help.

SOME QUICK DATES:

1.      MEDAN, INDONESIA – 16 - 20 Sep. (Graduation, 21 Sep.)

2.     KATHMANDU, NEPAL – 27 Sep. - 4 Oct.

3.     MANDALAY, MYANMAR — Pastors’ Workshop, 30 Oct. - 8 Nov.
