50 Years Building His Kingdom - Far Eastern Bible College

ing in an evangelistic rally at the end of the
year.
Other than receiving God’s Word, our
NBC members have been encouraged to
serve within the NBC. Hence, many have
stepped in to help with the children’s ministry.
Each month a group of ladies will prepare
lessons, stories and art and craft to teach
the young in God’s Word. The men are especially
encouraged to take turns to chair
meetings. Some of our brothers feel that the
monthly meetings are not sufficient to foster
closer fellowship, so they organize gettogethers,
outings and sports periodically.
Our NBC also supports an FEBC student
with the offering collected each month.
Church for 2 years, approached me that she
wished to open her new house in Woodlands
for NBC. One day, I was told by Rev.
Charles Seet that Elder Tan had the burden
to set up an NBC in Woodlands. I was gladly
surprised and immediately responded that
sister Tricia Ang was keen to open her new
home for NBC. Indeed we believe that nothing
happens by chance and that this realisation
of the Woodlands NBC was all by His
sovereign and directive will.
Our programme is as follows:
• NBC Worship - In addition to the Sunday
worship, all members are encouraged
to meet in a home near theirs to worship
God (Acts 2:46).
• NBC Fellowship - Members fellowship
one with another with the host providing
refreshments (Acts 2:46, Heb 10:25).
• NBC Bible Study - A leader conducts the
Bible study (Acts 17:11).
• NBC Evangelism - Members are encouraged
to bring their non-Christian friends
to the meeting (Acts 17:11,12).
The Thomson NBC prays and seeks
your prayer that we will be able to achieve
the NBC’s objectives with God’s almighty
power and to help Christians grow in love
and service for God and his people. May
our NBC shines brightly as a lighthouse to
show sinners the Good News that salvation
has come through our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ.
Deacon David Tan
Woodlands NBC
WE WANT to thank the Lord for
the commencement of the Woodlands
NBC on 14 January 2000.
This NBC was the result of God’s leading
hand. Elder Tan Nee Keng felt a need to set
up an NBC in Woodlands as his workplace
was in Woodlands. This burden was shared
with Rev. Charles Seet casually when they
were on a trip to Batam. This was independent
of the fact that a sister by the name of
Tricia Ang, who has been attending Life
The NBC is attended by Elder Tan Nee
Keng, Gideon and Eunice, Tricia Ang and
her son, and Keng Khwang and Huey Ching.
Rev. Charles Seet and Elder Geoffrey Tan
came to encourage us at the first meeting.
We had a time of singspiration, fellowship
and learning the purpose of the NBC from
the Word of God. Although small in numbers,
we believe that God will in His time
give the increase.
We hold our NBC every second Friday
of the month from 8.00 to 9.30 p.m.
Besides the adults, we also have a children’s
programme conducted by Huey Ching. The
adults study the correct Biblical interpretation
and the children the Shorter Catechism.
By attending the Woodlands NBC, we
expect much spiritual benefits from the Lord
in terms of growing spiritually; in supporting,
encouraging and edifying one another
in Christ.
We covet prayers for Woodlands NBC
that many Lifers living in Woodlands and
Sembawang will take this golden opportunity
to attend our NBC, and for Tricia Ang’s
husband that he will accept Christ as his
personal Saviour.
