50 Years Building His Kingdom - Far Eastern Bible College

Life
Bible-Presbyterian
Church
Again the Lord’s hand was so evident as the
demarcation was so distinct that no planning
was required about how to divide the members.
So as not to lose our original identity,
we use the same programme and meet simultaneously
at different locations. We have
also planned to have combined NBC meetings
on a regular basis.
Without the guidance of our beloved
Pastor, it is doubtful that our NBC would
have come thus far. So may our Lord be ever
gracious to us as we remain faithful to His
Word.

Bukit Timah NBC
THE BUKIT TIMAH NBC was one
of the first to be established when the
NBC project was launched in 1988.
After meeting in three locations, our
NBC is now hosted by Deacon Wee Chin
Kam in his Balestier home on the third Friday
of each month. Brother Eduardo
Morante is the current Bible study leader
and brother Lee Chee Weng the coordinator.
just in Singapore, but also in the Philippines,
Australia and the Middle East - to show the
grace of God working in the life of the ordinary
Christian. His teaching is Reformed
and Bible-Presbyterian.
The average attendance is around 9
adults and some children. There is room for
a lot more to join us. We welcome those living
in Thomson, Newton, Bukit Timah,
Whampoa, Moulmein, Toa Payoh and
Towner. We have no other motive or motivation
in meeting other than to know Christ
and to keep close to Him in our walk together
as fellow pilgrims on earth. Amen.

Henderson NBC
NBC HENDERSON was inaugurated
on 11 October 1989 at Elder
and Mrs Sng’s residence. Meetings
were held on the second and fourth Wednesday
of each month. Our attendance averaged
12 people.
Initially, all the NBCs unanimously
agreed to embark on a survey through the
Bible. Rev. Colin Wong, our Bible study
leader, would provide notes to facilitate

The group has completed a survey of
the Bible. It has also completed studying a
number of Old Testament and New Testament
books. Although the group’s focus is
the study of the Bible, there is good fellowship
after each meeting. The group also enjoys
the occasional potluck dinner held on
certain occasions during the year.
Brother Morante, an FEBC graduate
and a full-time worker of the Church, usually
uses the expository approach in teaching
the Bible. Occasionally, he switches to
using the ‘question-and-answer’ method although
no one will be asked questions directly.
Brother Morante introduces interesting
anecdotes from his personal life – not
members in their study. Elder Sng would
assist in leading Bible study during Rev.
Colin Wong’s absence. After each session,
we would fellowship over light refreshments.
When Rev. Colin Wong left for further
studies in the States, God provided us
with an able replacement in Mr Khoo Hock
Seng, a cousin of Elder Tan Nee Keng.
In many ways, we have fulfilled the
objective of the NBC. Apart from studying
God’s word, we also rejoice with those who
rejoice and weep with those who weep.
When members get married or if there is a
bereavement in their family, we would rally
to support. These are means of showing
practical Christianity.
