“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 />

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
