BFEC has earmarked 2 opportunities where you and I can volunteer to serve the migrant workers in Singapore
‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
Matthew 25:40
Project Providence is a crisis intervention alliance working in collaboration across organisations including churches, para-church organisations, and individuals with the capacity to serve migrant workers in Singapore affected by the Covid-19 outbreak. Many of these workers are faced with a very uncertain future including where to rest their heads.
What you will be doing:
Manning the Helpline for Migrant Workers –
provide callers with information regarding accommodation, finance, emotional support, and support that other NGOs provide
Befriend Migrant Workers –
be a friend, talk and listen.
Training will be provided.
You do not have to be a trained counsellor to volunteer with Project Providence.
What is the commitment?
Manning the helpline will be done remotely in your own home. The Helpline operates from 9am to 9pm daily and each volunteer mans the line on a 3-hour shift rotation.
You can choose to man the Helpline on slots convenient to you, like in the evenings or weekends.
How do I sign up?
Please contact fangfang.tan@bfec.org.sg if you would like to volunteer in this capacity.
What if I know of Migrant Workers who need help?
You may ask the migrant workers to contact the Project Providence helpline at 87177559 between 9am to 9pm
33 “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. 34 You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Leviticus 19:33-34
Crisis Relief Alliance (CRA) needs volunteers with cars as well as those without cars to help with NON-CONTACT deliveries of essential stuff (ad-hoc meals, sanitisers, and other stuff when suppliers cannot provide delivery services) to migrant workers staying at factory-converted dorms in the Eastern zone of Singapore
As a volunteer, you will be given exemption similar to that of essential workers. CRA will provide an authorisation letter from the authorities.
How often are the deliveries?
The volunteers will be notified as and when there’s a demand. The leaders in charge of the Eastern zone will coordinate efforts among the volunteers.
What if I can’t carry heavy stuff but I can drive my car?
CRA will match volunteers to help. Those without cars but can carry stuff, with those who can drive but cannot carry stuff.
How do I sign up to be a volunteer?
Please contact geok_chye@yahoo.com.sg
Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. 2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
Hebrews 13:1-2
Our Annual General Meeting, originally scheduled on 17 May 2020, is now postponed to a later date to be determined later in view of the current COVID-19 situation.

To follow Jesus …. Luke 9:23,24
“And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.”
To seek the Lord …. 2 Chron 7:14,15
“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears atten-tive to the prayer that is made in this place.”
To be united as a church body …. Eph 4:1-3
“I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with pa-tience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
John 15:16
“You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. ”

Isaiah was resolute by the time God asked, “Whom shall I send? Whom will go for us?” (Isa 6:8). But how can we respond confidently when Kampong Siglap Lifeskills Training & Retreat Centre opens her doors just across the road from us at 10 La Salle Street in a few months from now?
It is a unique opportunity for every Frankelite, young and old, to “go” next door to share His love. But where do we start since most of us don’t yet know our new neighbours? In this four-part series, we will learn step by step how we can be genuine & practical in expressing our faith in love (Gal 5:6).
Let us listen as Joseph Chean (National Director, YWAM Singapore) and Dr Tan Lai Yong share insights from God’s word over the pulpit.
