Elder Jonathan updated the church on our vision for missions at our recent QCM. He also shared about new partnerships with like-minded churches and organisations.

One of our aspirations as a church is to establish gospel partnerships with fellow like-minded Christians for the advance of the gospel. Our Missions Committee has also been exploring similar opportunities with churches and organizations overseas, and one such visit was to First Baptist Church of Bandung.

From 3–7 March, a team of 19 headed to Kathy's Home to conduct a Vacation Bible School. We thank God for the team and the fruitful trip.

Obedience to God happens in both the big and small decisions in life and certainly, Christians are called to obey Him every day. So, what prompted our missionary, Esther, to consider becoming a missionary? She shares more about this journey here.

We thank God for the fruitful trip that the team had at Pua, Thailand this December. It's such a joy and privilege to be able to participate in God's work in this manner.

Esther is one of our missionaries and she was recently in Singapore on her Home Assignment. We sat down with her to chat more about her experiences and lessons that God has taught her and we will be sharing it in a series of articles.

After a 2.5-year break due to the pandemic, we are back to Pua to conduct the quarterly English Camp. We thank God for the team of 14 who headed to Kathy's Home from 23-26 September.

At our prayer meeting in the month of April, Chester from the Missions Committee shared with the church about the Bangladeshi in Singapore and their needs.

We've been hearing from our missionaries at our monthly prayer meeting and our Missions Committee has been working behind the scenes to connect with our missionaries. Here, we interview Elder Jonathan to find out more about the Missions Committee and the work they've been doing.

We have been praying for our missionaries at our monthly prayer meetings, but sometimes we may struggle with praying for them. It could seem hard to persevere in prayer for people and needs that seem so distant from us. We may also feel like our requests are repetitive.

Sylvia Chong, one of our missionaries who has recently retired from Cru Singapore where she has served for 40 years, shares candidly the joys and struggles of serving in the missions field and how God has been faithful.
