Our Church

A&A Building Project – We have just completed the material testing of existing structure and our consultants will be preparing their submission to BCA. The process for obtaining the approval to proceed with the steel structural works on Level 5 is likely to take some time. As such, decision was made to remove current scaffold until Notice of Approval from BCA is obtained. Based on cost analysis, this would be most cost effective than to pay for extension of the use of scaffold. Moreover, it would also restore the use of playground to ZBK children in the interim. Please continue to keep the project in prayer, for God’s clear direction and wisdom upon our consultants in addressing the authorities’ requirement.

Christianity Explored (CE) – Praise God for 7 seekers and friends who joined us for the first week of the course this past Wednesday evening. Pray that each of their hearts will be turned to the Lord, and there will be a continued desire to return each week to learn and discover Jesus through the Gospel of Mark. Pray for God’s guidance and directing through His Spirit to be upon our table hosts and members as they journey alongside in the next 6 weeks.

Our People

Quek Tze Ming – We thank God that BPCIS has officially formed an ordaining council for our brother Dr Quek, to discern his calling in becoming a Minister of the Gospel. Please pray for him in this journey!

Our Denomination

Shalom BP – We thank God that our sister church ordained a new minister of the gospel yesterday! Please do pray for Rev Low Jun Yew and his young family, as he comes alongside their current Pastor, Ben Tsao, in ministering to our brothers and sisters in Pasir Ris.

Our World

Nepal – Thank the Lord for placing the Tibetan Buddhists on our hearts and giving us a desire to reach them with the Gospel. Thank Him also for the faith and obedience of our members to join Him in what He is doing in that region. Keep in prayer for the 4 tracks being carried out in the next 2 months, that the Gospel work may grow and our brothers and sisters there will be strengthened in their faith and love for Jesus. Pray also for more labourers to be raised and sent out into His harvest.

Indonesia – Pray for Brother SL’s visit to Singapore next weekend for a training conference here. May this be a time of good learning and refreshment for this brother who is ministering faithfully in a hard place for many years. Pray also that there will be good attendance for a ministry sharing that he will be doing at Zion Bishan, next Sunday, (4 Oct), at lunchtime after the 10.30am service.

1. Our deepest condolences to Dn Gary Lee and family on the Homegoing of his brother-in-law, the late Elder Edmund Kwok (Zion Serangoon) who was called Home to be with the Lord on 20 Sep 2026. Please uphold the bereaved family in prayer.
2. Ps Dev is preaching at Hebron BP this morning.
3. Ps Alby is preaching at Baptist Fellowship Church this morning.
4. Congratulations to Grace Tan on her marriage to Gabriel Tham on 26 Sep 2026! May God bless them in their holy matrimony.

By Ps Dev Menon

On 12 September, the Session of Emmanuel BP Church (EBPC), our sister church at One Pemimpin, met for a morning retreat called “Thus Far.” Like Samuel setting up his Ebenezer stone, we looked back and could only say, “Till now the LORD has helped us” (1 Samuel 7:12, ESV).

What God has done

EBPC is much smaller than ZB in terms of size and resources, and yet God has shown us time and time again what He can do in any setting!

Since 2023, the membership has grown from 60 to 72, and there are baptisms every year. More preachers have joined the English pulpit, and the Chinese congregation is slowly growing. A Transport Ministry started from nothing and now brings worshippers from the MRT and certain pick-up points. A visitation and bereavement ministry cares for the sick and the grieving.

God has also grown EBPC in the Word. Bible study classes became Cell Groups, and as of 2026, we have a total of three CGs. Since July, a fortnightly Saturday training programme has been equipping leaders to handle the Bible and care for one another. Sunday School teachers training has begun, and the Chinese congregation meets for Bible study on Thursdays. We hope to start evangelism training soon!

What is needed

While more young people have joined in recent years, we still need mature believers who can come over from ZB to eventually anchor ministries and bolster the leadership. We also need families with young children that are willing to put down roots. And finally, help for the Chinese Service. Finances are also a constraint. 

Looking to 2027

Next year is EBPC’s 50th. The leaders hope to not only commemorate what God has done in the past and present, but also to reach outward: towards our fellow Industrial tenants, the Pemimpin estate and new upcoming BTOs.  

How to pray

• Give thanks for 50 years of God’s faithfulness.
• Ask the Lord to send more workers and potential leaders.
• Pray for young families and young adults to be willing to #getsent from ZB.

If you would like to serve alongside us at EBPC, please contact Tim See (timothysee@zionbishan.org.sg) or Christina Wong (christina@zionbishan.org.sg).
