50 Years Building His Kingdom - Far Eastern Bible College

lies were held in the FEBC hall. As the responses
were good every succeeding semester,
subsequent rallies were then held
in the Life B-P Church sanctuary. In planning
the Gospel Rally each semester, the
students had to work very hard going out
every Wednesday to various housing estates,
MRT stations and the streets to give
out invitation slips and tracts. Twenty five
thousand tracts would be
given out. Out of these
twenty five thousand invitations,
only a small
number would respond.
In fact in the last Gospel
Rally which was held in
March 2000, we knew of
only one person who
came in response to the
invitation which he received
at the Yishun
MRT station. Do we rejoice
and say hallelujah
Did not our Lord say in
Luke 15:7 that likewise
joy shall be in heaven
over one sinner that
repenteth, more than over
ninety and nine just persons,
which need no repentance
We doubly
praise the Lord for this
person who came on his
own through the invitation
and indicated his decision to receive
Christ as his personal Saviour at the end of
the Rally.
In organizing the FEBC Gospel Rally,
the most important task which the students
must do is to pray without ceasing. Yes,
prayer power! So each Wednesday before
the students leave the campus to go into
the housing estates and MRT stations, they
will be praying earnestly for the Lord’s
blessing upon the Rally. Furthermore, each
morning during their morning group devotions,
the students will also be committing
the Rally to the Lord in prayer. Truly
the Lord has heard our prayers and blessed
us with good responses. In the last rally
held in March 2000 there was an encouraging
attendance of about 100 people of
whom half were visitors. Also there were
One of the 20,000
invitations distributed for
the FEBC Gospel Rally
held on 25th March 2000
three lost souls who responded to the
Gospel call and five others who indicated
interest to know more about the
Gospel. This is the Lord’s doing.
“The FEBC Gospel Rally is the
lifeline of FEBC”, said the Principal.
Many, if not all, other Bible colleges
provide merely academic theological
training. But it is in FEBC that the students
receive an all
rounded training to be
competent for the
Lord’s use in His harvest
fields. “How then
shall (the lost) call on
Him in whom they
have not believed
And how shall they
believe in Him of
whom they have not
heard And how shall
they hear without a
preacher And how
shall they preach, except
they be sent As
it is written, How
beautiful are the feet of
them that preach the
gospel of peace, and
bring glad tidings of
good things!” (Rom
10:14-15) Yes, in
FEBC the students are
trained to obey the
Great Unfinished Commission to “Go
ye into all the world, and preach the
Gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
The words of our FEBC anthem, penned
by our Principal, are pertinent:
O Jesus Christ, Thou Son of God,
Who came to save the world from sin,
And have redeemed us by Thy Blood,
That we may live and others win …
O Holy Spirit from on High,
Whom God the Father, Son did send,
To touch our lips and tongues with fire,
That we might speak, and men repent.
Let us go out for the Gospel’s sake,
set by the Lord Jesus Christ and by
His Spirit.
