“Thou crownest the year with thy goodness;<br />

and thy paths drop fatness. They drop<br />

upon the pastures of the wilderness: and<br />

the little hills rejoice on every side. The<br />

pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys<br />

also are covered over with corn; they<br />

shout for joy, they also sing.” (Ps 65:11-<br />

13)THE ABOVE WORDS of joy and<br />

thanksgiving of the Psalmist reflect<br />

the feelings of every Gethsemanean,<br />

as we send you greetings for the jubilee<br />

magazine of Life B-P Church.<br />

God’s bountiful blessings upon Life<br />

B-P Church and her ministries are so wonderful!<br />

She is truly a mountain of great divine<br />

blessings! Her Pastor and co-labourers<br />

boldly herald from the pulpit the truths<br />

of God’s Word. Her sanctuaries are filled<br />

with worshippers. The Gospel tidings are<br />

published far and near through numerous<br />

tracts and books sent out freely. In her<br />

premises, the <strong>Far</strong> <strong>Eastern</strong> <strong>Bible</strong> <strong>College</strong> is<br />

established; and hundreds have been<br />

trained to be shepherds of <strong>His</strong> flocks all<br />

around the world. Consequently, reports of<br />

good harvests from mission fields are announced<br />

weekly to her congregation. O,<br />

what joy and praise rise from our hearts as<br />

we watch this grand display of divine blessings<br />

upon Life B-P Church at her <strong>50</strong> th anniversary!<br />

We also thank God for Rev. Dr Timothy<br />

Tow’s invaluable leadership of the<br />

Modern-day Reformation Movement.<br />

Truly it is his humble and submissive spirit<br />

before the Lord that made him a fearless<br />

and tireless soldier of Christ for the past<br />

<strong>50</strong> years. All pastors must emulate his courageous<br />

stand against every form of apostasy<br />

and brilliant defence of God’s Word.<br />

In Gethsemane, we are thankful to<br />

Rev. Tow, Rev. Seet, Rev. Wong, the Session<br />

and the congregation for the encouragement<br />

that Life Church has brought us<br />

on many occasions. May God help us to<br />

emulate your steadfast faith, generosity and<br />

zeal in the work of the Lord.<br />

As we congratulate the Life B-P<br />

Church on her <strong>50</strong> th anniversary, we also<br />

plead before the Lord that <strong>His</strong> love and<br />

mercy shall surround and protect her from<br />

all falsehood till Christ’s return in <strong>His</strong> great<br />

glory.<br />

Rev. Prabhudas Koshy, On behalf<br />

of the Session and Congregation of<br />

GREETINGS in the Most Precious<br />

Name of our Lord and Saviour<br />

Jesus Christ.<br />

On behalf of the Pastors, Session and<br />

members of Galilee B-P Church, I send<br />

heartiest congratulations to you on this very<br />

happy and auspicious occasion, namely the<br />

<strong>50</strong> th anniversary of the Life B-P Church.<br />

This also marks the <strong>50</strong> th birthday of the B-<br />

P Church in Singapore. God has seen it fit<br />

to establish the B-P Church through the<br />

original founding fathers led by Rev. Timothy<br />

Tow and Rev. Quek Kiok Chiang, and<br />

has preserved it till today. Praise the Lord!<br />

Galilee Church well remembers that<br />

the Life Church through her leaders started<br />

Galilee B-P Church ten years later. Without<br />

the Life Church, Galilee Church would<br />

not be here today. We praise God for your<br />

zeal and fervour to extend God’s <strong>Kingdom</strong><br />

even till this day. We wish you well. May<br />

God be pleased to grant spiritual wisdom,<br />

good health and strength to your leaders<br />

not only to retain your present ministries<br />

but also to reach out to new fields of service,<br />

and may members fervently follow in<br />

the footsteps of the faith of the founding<br />

fathers.<br />

Full well do I remember as a young<br />

lad, the inception of the Life B-P Church.<br />

My late father, Elder Heng Mui Kiah, was<br />

then a Deacon at the Say Mia Tng, and God<br />

moved his heart to associate with the Life<br />

Church English Service to become one of
