Our Church

Catechism Class – Praise God for the 45 catechumens who have signed up for this round of our membership class, starting next Sunday (30/8)! May the Lord help each of them grow in intimacy with Him, as they find their place and belonging in the Zion Bishan family. Thank God for 9 of our members who will also be table-hosting and befriending these 45 brothers and sisters in this journey!

Our People

Luke Ho – He leaves SG next Wednesday to start in a new role as staff at YWAM’s Foundation for Counselling Ministry in Lebanon. Thank God for His grace and favour in providing this opportunity for Luke to learn and discover more about God and how he can be serving Him. In the first few months especially, he requests prayer for good working relationships to be built as he settles in to a new environment and gets to know the people there. Pray also that God will establish his steps in the way ahead.

Our World

Myanmar – This past week, a ministry partner in Myanmar shared that though things on the surface in Myanmar seems life as normal, there is a heaviness and unease still simmering beneath what seems to be normal city life. Pray for those who are persevering in the gospel in this nation where civil conflict is deeply entrenched. May the grace of God provide the strength to persevere in love, and sharing of the gospel in this nation where 6-8% of the population are Christian (inclusive of Catholics).

Indonesia Trip (10-16 Aug) – Praise the Lord for a fruitful trip where team members have learnt much and are more keenly aware of the potential challenges of being His ambassadors in a closed part of the country. Pray for the continued well-being and needs of the long-term field workers and also their families as it is not easy to live cross-culturally. Pray for wisdom and favour in the next steps amongst the locals and the authorities, as they seek to continue building relationships with the local NGO there.

Congratulations to Aaron & Hwee Lun, on the birth of their 2^nd child, Faith Tan En Qi, on 15 Aug 2026!

11–18 August 2026 · Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

From 11 to 18 August, three of us from Zion Bishan — Ps Paul, Eld Ching Hong, Eld Beng Hwee, and two others from another BP church— travelled to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, to conduct a three-day, two-night Bible training for a group of church and ministry leaders. We thank God for safe travel and His provision throughout.

The training ran from 13 to 15 August at a retreat site an hour’s drive from the city, set amid the open plains of Mongolia. We were grateful for good facilities and a quiet setting that let us focus wholly on His Word and on one another.

Twenty-three Christians and leaders attended, some travelling many hours at real personal cost—a testimony to how deeply they longed to be built up in the faith. Over three days, we watched hearts respond as the Word was opened, deepening their faith and strengthening their grip on Scripture.

This meant more than teaching alone. Some attendees can normally only worship online due to restrictions in their context, so this training gave them a rare chance to meet fellow believers face to face. Leaders serving in relative isolation met one another, shared burdens, and prayed for each other’s needs, and new friendships were formed.

We were also deeply moved to visit two local Mongolian church services and fellowship with believers from remarkably varied backgrounds worshipping together across multiple languages. For us, this was a vivid, personal picture of the universal church—something quite new to many of us from Singapore—and a reminder that the body of Christ is far bigger and more diverse than our own congregations.

The Fruit of This Trip: Three R’s

• Return to the Bible: Attendees left with faith deepened and Scripture strengthened, a reminder that it is God’s Word, not our programmes, that builds the church.

• Restoration: For leaders serving in difficult environments, the training was an opportunity to reconnect with God through His Word and fellowship with us.

• Reconciliation: Most precious of all, some attendees were reconciled during this time together, a tangible sign that the gospel we taught also transforms relationships.

We are deeply grateful to God for His provision throughout this trip, and for all we experienced together. God willing, we plan to return and run this training again over the next two years—do come speak with us if you’d like to know more, or even join us on a future trip. Please continue to pray for the leaders and churches we met, that what was sown would take root and bear lasting fruit!
