What does God’s word say about who the Holy Spirit is and how He “operates”? How does He make a difference in our lives even as we encounter suffering and trials? Let us journey together to get to know better the third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. May we be empowered and transformed as we seek to be filled with and led by Him!

In this church-wide series, we will have:

· a six-part pulpit series

· a 30 Day family devotional pack based on the “Fruit of the Spirit” – to encourage discipleship within families, but which can also be used personally.

· six Bible Study sessions

We will also have an Empower Weekend (Fri 7 & Sat 8 Sep) for you to experience extended times of reflection and ministry based on God’s word.

The Six-Part Sermons:

As our church turns 60 and celebrates our 60th anniversary, we have a series of events to remember the faithfulness of God. The highlight is our celebration service and lunch to be held at SAFRA Toa Payoh Jubilee Restaurant on 29 July from 10.30am to 12pm.

Jesus gave a very clear direction to his disciples on what they should be doing in missions – They were to go into all the world and to preach the good news to all creation (Mark 16:15). This was clearly understood as having to move into a foreign land and mixing with people of different cultures and ethnicity in order to present the gospel.

However today, with more and more people (even from minority groups) uprooting themselves and settling in major cities in a country other than their own, “missions at your door step” has become a buzzword along with social action. Many believers are ploughing into this and we have been seeing a downtrend in the numbers of missionaries being sent overseas. After all, isn’t it the best of both worlds, being able to obey the command to evangelise the world without having to leave the comfort of home?

The question that remains then, is whether Jesus’ command still valid for missions today? How will there be a great multitude that no-one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before God’s throne at the end days as foretold in Revelations 7:9? Would the great multitude include the many unreached people’s groups in the remote corners of the world, if God’s children remain in the comfort of their homes?

BFEC, like many other churches in Singapore, is experiencing a drought of new and younger missionaries willing to go into all the world and live cross culturally. This missions month, we will re-focus on what missions is about and introduce ways to help raise more labourers for the harvest field.
