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 />
