Stepping Out With God - Pasir Panjang Church of Christ Singapore

Brother Seah Siow Hwee became a Christian in his youth against the wishes
of his family. This conviction has shaped his entire life, putting Christ as his
first priority. He has modeled the way for all of us in male spiritual leadership
roles, by ensuring his children are brought up in the way of the Lord. As a
freelance computer programmer, his income was not regular. This has never
affected his faith, nor his regular giving to the church. Siow Hwee is an
effective and excellent teacher and preacher, with a passion for missions.
Their hospitable family hosted many sessions for foreigners. He has been
involved in missions from as near as Malaysia to all the way in China. Now he
is spearheading the new work in Vietnam with great zeal and much success.
Although he had issues with the the China missions, his zeal never faltered
and he continues to serve the Lord in the best brotherly spirit.
These are but three examples of the many soldiers of the cross that I am
blessed to work with. Each of them has left an indelible mark in the progress
at PP which will continue to benefit and bless many, through the years.
Because they are willing to take the trouble to work with the church in team
ministry, they can draw the full resources from the congregation and their
labours will continue even after they have left each specific effort. The
church at PP is calling on members to step up and serve in the growing
ministry at PP.
The kind of service that pleases God is one in which we are willing to work
in consensus, ready to accept the decision of the majority and be accountable
to the church for our efforts.
Be a Team Worker
Don't Rob the Glory from Christ and His church
It is good for every Christian to abound in good works. As we grow in faith,
we must begin contributing to the work of the church through our attendance,
giving and prayers. We can speak positively of the church and its leaders,
provide hospitality and bring friends to Bible class and worship.
The next step is to be involved in the ministry of the church. The Bible
teaches in Ephesians 2:21 that all members must be fitly framed together in
the church. The Bible does not teach that members can go solo and do their
own ministry outside the church that he is a member of.
Resist the urge of doing your own thing and staying in your comfort zone.
Take the vital step forward to be involved as part of the overall work of the
church - drawing from all the resources of the church, being accountable,
