The Burning Bush - Far Eastern Bible College

I REMEMBER TIMOTHY TOW (1920 – 2009)
no Bible College would accept one who had no academic qualifications
like me. Thank God for Rev Tow.
Rev Tow was indeed a man of God who had given his life for the
cause of God. Chadarat and I are greatly challenged by his life and
teaching and we are telling everyone here in the Church and in the Home
to follow after his godly example. We will remember the instructions we
have received from Rev Tow and our Alma Mater, to “earnestly contend
for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3).
Words cannot express our grief over the news of Rev Tow’s homegoing
to be with the Lord. Surely, Rev Tow will be missed by all of us.
Nevertheless, thank God that Rev Tow can now rest peacefully and
eternally in the arms of Jesus. Indeed, “Blessed are the dead which die in
the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from
their labours; and their works do follow them” (Rev 14:13).
Loved the Lord Dearly
Poh Ee Huat
Rev Tow loved the Lord dearly. He had devoted his whole life in
serving his Lord and Saviour. He had also cared for his students
wholeheartedly. I have benefitted a lot from him. He had taught me how
to apply Scripture in a very practical way. He had also taught me how to
understand God’s Word. He was always so kind and fatherly. I am going
to miss him a lot. But I know, I will see him again in heaven when I see
the Lord face to face.
Holding My Hand
Esther Shuh Chaang
Rev Timothy Tow is a great man of God. So many thousands of us
have been brought to the Lord directly or indirectly through the churches
he built. But what I remember most of him was his holding my hand
(when I was in Secondary four) leading me up to the parsonage to discuss
the speaking arrangement for Youth Fellowship. He probably saw my
nervousness when I approached him and he put me at ease and made me
feel comfortable. I shall always remember his tenderness and fatherliness
towards us his spiritual children in the Lord. I thank God for this great
servant of His and all his family members who supported him in his
ministry.
