THERE IS value in history, and remembrance<br />
is a mark of respect.<br />
The wise king says, “remove not the<br />
ancient landmark, which thy fathers have<br />
set” (Prov 22:28). So it is fitting that, on<br />
the <strong>50</strong> th anniversary of Life B-P Church,<br />
her offspring should render their due respects<br />
to rejoice with her and to remember<br />
the Lord’s goodness upon her for the last<br />
half-century.<br />
Calvary (Jurong) B-P Church is a direct<br />
beneficiary of Life B-P Church, having<br />
come forth from her some thirty years<br />
ago. Today we continue to benefit from the<br />
ministry of Life B-P Church. It is our<br />
prayer that, while the Lord tarries, Life B-<br />
P Church will continue to be the standard<br />
bearer of God’s truth. “Thou hast given a<br />
banner to them that fear thee, that it may<br />
be displayed because of the truth” (Ps<br />
60:4).<br />

“Thy children like olive plants round about<br />
thy table” (Ps 128:3b)<br />
LIFE CHURCH is like a table surrounded<br />
by olive plants. <strong>50</strong> years<br />
ago, it started in Prinsep Street. At<br />
that time, it was just an empty table. But<br />
today, it is overflowing with olive plants<br />
not only locally but also globally. It all<br />
started with the vision of a man, Dr Timothy<br />
Tow, who feared the Lord. The <strong>Bible</strong><br />
says “Behold, that thus shall the man be<br />
blessed that feareth the Lord” (Ps 128:4)<br />
Today, at your <strong>50</strong> th anniversary, we<br />
can truly echo the saying of the Psalmist:<br />
“The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion; and<br />
thou shall see the good of Jerusalem all the<br />
days of thy life. Yea, thou shalt see thy<br />
children’s children, and peace upon Israel.”<br />
(Ps 128:5,6) Calvary B-P Church Mandarin<br />
Services are just two of the many granddaughter<br />
churches which came out of Life<br />
Church. We rejoice with you at your <strong>50</strong> th<br />
anniversary.<br />

“Casting all your care upon him; for he<br />
careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because<br />
your adversary the devil, as a roaring<br />
lion, walketh about, seeking whom he<br />
may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the<br />
faith, knowing that the same afflictions are<br />
accomplished in your brethren that are in<br />
the world. But the God of all grace, who<br />
hath called us unto his eternal glory by<br />
Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a<br />
while, make you perfect, stablish,<br />
strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and<br />
dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”<br />
(1 Pet 5:7-11)<br />
GOD IS GOOD to <strong>His</strong> people. May<br />
your Pastor and Session march<br />
ever onward and forward in the<br />
strength of the Lord Jesus Christ. Many<br />
battles have been fought and God has given<br />
you the victory. All praise be to <strong>His</strong> Holy<br />
Name. Many more battles remain to be<br />
fought for Satan is as a roaring lion seeking<br />
whom he may devour. Be sober and<br />
vigilant and fight the good fight of faith<br />
faithfully till Jesus comes again. Amen.<br />
