Art For God

By Francis Chong This is a drawing of Jesus and the 3 doves which made up the world map. The world map is a reminder of Matt 28: 19-20 where we are called to make disciples of all nations. But we are not to do this alone. Jesus is seen carrying the “world” – our burdens. The redness represents the blood that He sheds for us. And the three doves represents Jesus’ promise that He will send the Holy Spirit to help us (John 14:15-31)

Serving as Senders

Serving as Senders by Neal Pirolo Pirolo’s main point in his book is that “Missions should not just focus on those who go but those who serve as senders are equally significant.” As one who is going to be sent out to the mission field, I can attest to the fact that there is indeed a substantial amount of attention given to those who go, and literally no attention given to those who serve as senders. I believe the main reason for the lack of focus on the senders is that the po

HANDS – Stories of Love, Companionship, and Sacrifice

HANDS Stories of Love, Companionship, and Sacrifice Hands, very much a part of our daily lives. Some prioritise their maintenance painstakingly, while others take them for granted. Often, the hands speak our innermost thoughts, even though they do not have voices of their own. We use our hands to take, to receive, to hold and to embrace. But that is only possible on many occasions because others have first used theirs to give. This short photo series features the hands from a

An Interview with Jeffrey Chua

A retrenchment unleashed a series of events, leading to an unexpected friendship with an injured Chinese migrant worker, resulting in the salvation of the worker and his brother. To say an unfortunate event turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Jeffrey Chua would be an understatement. Jeffrey was retrenched in 2009, at the height of the financial crisis from his previous job as an IT manager in a semiconductor firm. At the suggestion of a friend, he spent three months v

Monday Nights at Chinatown

Monday Nights at Chinatown By Jayce Tham It started with a casual conversation with the chef at The Loft café (South Bridge Road). Derrick shared that he needed help on Monday nights to distribute food to the homeless elderly at the courtyard in front of Chinatown Complex, just round the corner from the cafe. God had placed the idea of serving them regularly in his heart after he cooked extra food one Monday night for the Alpha course he conducts at the café. There were just

Our Batam Mission Trip

Woon Weili and Jonathan Lau Weili: From the moment we arrived, it was a new experience for me, both in landscape and heat level. On the first day, the adults rehearsed a song and dance and the boys went to practise our play, “The Prodigal Son”. Fortunately, the meals were decent (yay!). That night, the Lau and Woon brothers performed for the kids and thankfully, it was well-received. The next day, we went to the local church and shared about the Good Samaritan, while the adul

Our Cambodia Trip

When Papa told us we were going to Cambodia, we were very excited because we had never been there before. The trip was in November 2012 but we started preparing from August that year, making beaded crosses to give the Cambodians and to raise funds. We also planned what to teach the children, learnt two dance items and several songs in Khmer. The church prayed for us and Reverend Chan came to send us off at the airport. When we arrived in Cambodia, a fierce-looking immigration

Missions in COR

We come to church every Saturday or Sunday to worship and listen to God’s word. But for the Christians in Cambodia and Batam, it might mean walking for over an hour under the blazing sun to get to church. Or it might mean constant negotiations with the local government for church services to run as per normal. For both Rev Hieng and Rev Henok who are leading the churches in Cambodia and Batam respectively, they shared candidly about their struggles to become a follower of Chr
