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 />
