THE IMPORTANCE of the rehearsal<br />
of history is extolled by the Psalmist,<br />
“We will not hide them from<br />
their children, shewing to the generation to<br />
come the praises of the LORD, and his<br />
strength, and his wonderful works that he<br />
hath done. For he established a testimony<br />
in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel,<br />
which he commanded our fathers, that they<br />
should make them known to their children:<br />
That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born;<br />
who should arise and declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in<br />
God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments” (Ps 78:4-7).<br />
The publication of this magazine on the auspicious occasion of the <strong>50</strong> th Anniversary<br />
of Life B-P Church must necessarily be a historical one. The Lord raised up this<br />
Church on October 20, 19<strong>50</strong>. He has led us the last <strong>50</strong> years in four stages:<br />
1. from 19<strong>50</strong> to 1962, Prinsep Street to Gilstead Road,<br />
2. from 1962 to 1983, Gilstead Road to Woodlands,<br />
3. from 1983 to 1990, Woodlands to Beulah House, and<br />
4. from 1990 to 2000, Beulah House to Beulah Tower.<br />
During the years of development, the Church and <strong>College</strong> have grown and multiplied.<br />
Records of these developments are inscribed here to remind us and our children of<br />
what the Mighty Hand of God has done.<br />
One distinctive element in the testimony of Life Church and <strong>Far</strong> <strong>Eastern</strong> <strong>Bible</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> is their heritage from the 20 th Century Reformation Movement of the International<br />
Council of Christian Churches. It is their stand of separatism with the ICCC against<br />
the Ecumenical Movement and apostasy of the WCC, the World Council of Churches.<br />
May the testimony given herein help keep the Church and the <strong>College</strong> faithful in their<br />
stand to the end.<br />
Should the Lord tarry, may this magazine, that looks forward to the next <strong>50</strong> years,<br />
encourage the new generation to carry on in the building of Beulah Tower to meet their<br />
own needs to continue in the testimony of their fathers, and occupy till He comes. Amen.<br />
