Church<br />

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.
