GREETINGS<br />
Greetings<br />
FIFTY YEARS of powerful life! Life<br />
B-P Church is the Philadelphian<br />
Church that has flourished true and<br />
faithful to the Word of God under <strong>His</strong> ordained<br />
shepherd, Rev. Dr Timothy Tow.<br />
Under his longsuffering, untiring care and<br />
nurture, Life Church relentlessly blazed the<br />
true Gospel trail. Life Church was the only<br />
Church in 19<strong>50</strong> that exposed modernist and<br />
liberal churches. No prominent apostate<br />
minister was spared.<br />
With much God-given courage, Rev.<br />
Tow gave the trumpet call of separation<br />
loud and clear that is heard to this day.<br />
Today, B-P Churches abound in Singapore<br />
and in South East Asia and in many parts<br />
of the globe. Rev. Tow has kept the torch<br />
of truth burning. He now has his FEBCtrained<br />
and B-P-committed ministers to<br />
whom he will pass on that torch. What<br />
wonderful grace and work of the Lord!<br />
“Because thou hast kept the word of my<br />
patience, I also will keep thee from the hour<br />
of temptation, which shall come upon all<br />
the world, to try them that dwell upon the<br />
earth” (Rev 3:10).<br />
If not for God’s Life B-P Church, I<br />
might have been eternally lost. Mrs Chia<br />
and I praise God and rejoice with Life<br />
Church in her <strong>50</strong> th anniversary celebrations.<br />
Elder Chia Kim Chwee<br />
“Her children...call her blessed”<br />
(Prov 31:28)<br />
IN THIS landmark <strong>50</strong> th anniversary<br />
and golden jubilee year 2000 of Life<br />
B-P Church and the B-P Church movement,<br />
Calvary and its related global<br />
churches rise up in filial salute to our<br />
Mother Church Life, and to call her<br />
blessed.<br />
It was from Life’s Founding Pastor,<br />
Rev. Dr Timothy Tow, that we caught the<br />
spirit of “holding forth the word of life”<br />
(Phil 2:16) and of “earnestly contending<br />
for the faith” (Jude 3).<br />
Equipped with this two-pronged Gospel<br />
weapon, Calvary launched out from<br />
Life B-P Church in faith thirty years ago.<br />
What the Lord has done for Life and<br />
Calvary since then has far exceeded our<br />
fondest dreams and aspirations. All praise<br />
be unto Him “that is able to do exceeding<br />
abundantly above all that we ask or think,<br />
according to the power that worketh in us”<br />
(Eph 3:20).<br />
Calvary and its related groups bow<br />
in thanksgiving to our Lord, and pray that<br />
<strong>His</strong> Spirit continue to mightily use the Pastor<br />
and the Session of Life B-P Church until<br />
the glorious appearing of the great God and<br />
our Saviour Jesus Christ. Together, let us<br />
strive for the faith of the Gospel (Phil 1:27),<br />
till He comes. God bless you all!<br />
Dr SH Tow, Senior Pastor &<br />
Supervisory Pastor,<br />
