streams across the waves”, a team of Lifers,<br />
FEBC Korean students and Rawang and<br />
Bukit Gambir combined choir served in<br />
Kuantan B-P Church’s Gospel rally during<br />
the FEBC mid-term break on 16 March<br />
2000. Rev. Koa was the speaker for the<br />
Gospel rally, and with the sons and daughters<br />
of God gathered in the hall, a revival<br />
meeting was held after the rally, with the<br />
precious message from Rev. Tow, who tirelessly<br />
travelled the long journey not only<br />
to visit old friends but also to serve our<br />
Lord unceasingly.<br />
On his journey to Kuantan, Rev. Tow<br />
had the opportunity to bless the work of<br />
the Tangkak B-P Church’s outreach and to<br />
learn of the need to acquire a shop house<br />
as a place of worship for Tangkak. The<br />
establishment of Tangkak B-P Church is<br />
another faithful testimony of our Lord, who<br />
moves and works wonders through Rev.<br />
Koa and Rev. Liew and others. Tangkak<br />
B-P Church was inaugurated on 2 January<br />
2000, setting the pace to reach out to the<br />
lost souls in the community and beyond.<br />
Currently, there is a regular attendance<br />
of about 25 brethren with new friends<br />
from Tangkak. The first group of six from<br />
two families have all received Christ and<br />
were baptised during the Easter Service by<br />
Rev. Koa. The new house of worship, costing<br />
RM 200,000, is a two-storey shop unit<br />
located at Taman Sri Tangkak with a floor<br />
area of 1680 sq. ft. By the grace of the Lord,<br />
Tangkak B-P Church will carry the torch<br />
further to shine along the North-South<br />
highway and the East Coast of Malaysia.<br />
Rawang B-P Church is gaining momentum,<br />
and since June 2000, the worship<br />
hour has been advanced from 4.00 p.m. to<br />
10.00 a.m. Our Lord has been preserving<br />
and will continue to provide all that is<br />
needed for the ministry to grow and expand<br />
in Rawang and Bukit Gambir.<br />
Tangkak B-P Church will be a beacon<br />
“shining through thy sons till break of day”,<br />
the vision of our beloved pastor, Rev. Tow<br />
since 1972.<br />
The Mission Statement of Rawang B-<br />
P Church is as follows :<br />
1. to follow the “Faith of our fathers, holy<br />
faith”,<br />
2. to become “a beacon beaming” in truth<br />
and in the Word of God, and<br />
3. to reach out and “beam brighter far<br />
from Muar’s dark streams across the<br />
waves”.<br />

Our Mission to<br />
Kuching, Sarawak<br />
West<br />
OUR MISSION to<br />
Kuching, Sarawak, be<br />
gan in September 1984 as<br />
a Kindergarten under the charge of<br />
Kim Kah Teck and wife Pauline<br />
Wong, both FEBC graduates. Pauline, being<br />
a native of Kuching and a teacher, became<br />
our foothold in this capital city of<br />
East Malaysia. Kah Teck is a West<br />
Malaysian.<br />
Rev. Peter Chua, pastor of Sharon B-<br />
P Church, became interested in this mission.<br />
So we transferred this work to their<br />
care. To tie this work to Sharon, we named<br />
Malaysia<br />
Kuching<br />
East<br />
Malaysia<br />
the Kindergarten, Sharon Rose. The school<br />
had a good start with an enrolment of 45.<br />
In the course of development, Kah<br />
Teck staked a claim to a rural settlement<br />
and built a two-storey wooden church 25ft<br />
x 25 ft. where he operated both the Kindergarten<br />
and a Church. The work struggled<br />
for a few years.
