I REMEMBER TIMOTHY TOW (1920 – 2009)
Extremely Encouraged
Lim Yan Zheng
I have not been taught by Rev Timothy Tow, because I am only 10
years old. The first time I saw him was also the last time I saw him, in the
coffin.
When I heard Rev Quek’s message on Tuesday night, I was
extremely encouraged by Rev Timothy Tow’s life example.
In my heart, I decided to be humble. I want to fight a good fight for
the Lord by defending His Word.
I Aspire

Dear Rev Tow,
My sole purpose of taking all the trouble to graduate in May 2009
was to shake your hand. But you didn’t wait for me. I’m sure you do not
remember asking me to serve God full-time as you probably have asked
scores of others also. But I remember. After many years, I only have 25
credits and I know you would say it doesn’t matter. It is serving God from
the heart that counts, correct Many B-P heroes have fallen before my
eyes and I am really not too sure I have the stamina and grace like you
have to hang on. Will I still have the B-P spirit at age 88 like yours I
only can say, “God, please help me!” Thank you for standing firm for the
Lord till your last breath. I aspire!
The Lord Will Provide

When a pastor is taken home to glory, his flock cannot be attended
by him anymore. All that is of his faith, conviction, walk, service,
doctrinal stand is left to the next successor of his ministry. It is left to
someone whom God might raise to take the oversight of the church or
even churches. There is no permanent pastorate here on this earth. Time
goes on when mortals meet their end, the righteous and the wicked alike.
Hence, “the righteous perisheth” (Isa 57:1).
On the first evening of the Home-Going Service of Rev Timothy
Tow, I went up to Dr Tow Siang Hwa and asked him, “Dr Tow, if your
generation of the godly are going away (home to glory), what shall we do
