Thai Grace<br />
B-P Church<br />
FIVE BIBLE STUDENTS from<br />
Bangkok gathered in a room at the<br />
Prinsep Street Presbyterian Church<br />
in the early 1970’s to form a Thai Christian<br />
Fellowship. It was the beginning of<br />
the Thai Grace Church.<br />
In 1983 the Lord led the Thai Grace<br />
B-P Church through Prachan, a student of<br />
FEBC to the B-P Church in Gilstead Road.<br />
In the ensuing years the Lord’s hand was<br />
seen blessing the work of Prachan. God<br />
loved and prospered the Thai Service. The<br />
number of worshippers gradually increased<br />
to over 75, consisting of Thai ladies married<br />
to Singaporeans, their husbands, and<br />
their English-speaking children.<br />
Our Pastor delivered a message, “Are<br />
you concerned for the salvation of your<br />
own people.”, at the Thai Service,<br />
Beulah House on the Lord’s Day,<br />
27 February 2000 at 3.00 p.m.. Our<br />
Pastor observed that the Thai Grace<br />
B-P Church had three main roles<br />
to perform. It is appropriate to quote<br />
him: “Most of your husbands, being<br />
Singaporeans and know little<br />
Thai and your English-speaking<br />
children, should be your first concern.<br />
Your second concern falls on<br />
your own people wherever they are<br />
to be found. Now thousands of<br />
Thais are working or studying in<br />
Singapore. Here is a good opportunity<br />
to convert them to the Lord.<br />
And finally, start a missionary Fellowship<br />
in your church. This will<br />
give you the opportunity to come<br />
together to pray for missions.<br />
Bring in missionaries to challenge<br />
you to greater effort. And when<br />
you gather for fellowship, this will<br />
further become a channel whereby<br />
you can send your money to support<br />
worthy missionaries back in<br />
Thailand. This concern for your<br />
own people needs the encouragement<br />
of Life Church, your mother<br />
Church.”<br />
The Thai Grace B-P Church is deeply<br />
grateful to have been so graciously accepted<br />
by the mother church when the<br />
Lord’s hand led us back home after a few<br />
months away at the True Way Presbyterian<br />
Church in Queenstown. We praise and<br />
thank the Lord for <strong>His</strong> direction and guidance<br />
in leading us through many trials to<br />
triumph in <strong>His</strong> service.<br />
