Our Church

Basic AG Leaders Equipping – Praise God for the 10 brothers and sisters participating in this round of the BAGLE course! May our Father teach them to find their joy not in their ministry alone but in the privilege of having their names written in heaven (Luke 10:20). Pray that this season of equipping will help them draw on the help of the Spirit of God to care for the members in their AG, under the loving guidance of Christ our Good Shepherd.

Catechism Class – Praise God for the conclusion of the first catechism class run of the year! As we prepare to receive 30 over new members (adults and children) next Sunday at our Pentecost services, may our God help us as a church family lovingly welcome them, faithfully disciple them, and journey intentionally with them as the Day of Christ’s return draws ever nearer (Hebrews 10:24-25).

Children’s Discipleship Teachers’ Retreat – Thank God for upcoming CD Teachers’ Retreat on 23 May. We pray that this retreat will be a fruitful, meaningful, and refreshing time of fellowship, learning, and encouragement together. We thank God for the teachers’ faithfulness, love, patience, and commitment in serving and teaching week after week. As the teachers and children hear the words of Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount in the 2nd half of 2026, may the Lord grow their understanding of what it means to live as citizens of God’s Kingdom who humbly depend on King Jesus – He who helps us with our failures to live lives of obedience.

Our People

Esther Tan HW – We thank God for our sister Esther who has been serving at East Asia School of Theology (EAST) in the areas of alumni and others as our Home Missions worker. She also leads a women’s fellowship group every Wednesday morning and teaches the Indonesia Domestic Helper Fellowship group once a month. Pray for her to walk close with the Lord daily. Pray for wisdom and strength as she ministers & seeks to impact people for Christ and for His glory.

SA and Jong – Thank God for a fruitful trip for Jong into the mountains north of their city with a group of tribal pastors recently. They travelled on motorbikes to gather data about unreached places and for ministry. Some data before suggests that there are more than 80 neighbourhoods without evangelical community presence. Pray for God’s clear direction for them as they discern the way forward and for SA’s continued language learning

By Ps Dev Menon

As part of our #getrest year, we wanted to deepen our relationship with God through developing certain spiritual disciplines and practices. We recently held three sessions facilitated by our brother Scuter Koo, covering the Word, Prayer, and Rest. Here is what some of the twenty or so participants had to say:

“I found the workshop really honest and refreshing. It led me to think — how can I be honest and present myself to God through prayer? It also helped to reshape how I think about prayer, that I can pray throughout the day, and I don’t have to pray for things but more so I can talk to God and be honest with him in my thoughts and failures.”

– Jeremy Sim

“Personally found the series helpful for verbalising internal frustrations regarding the Christian spiritual journey (what we are taught should exist vs our personal experience), and for bouncing off ideas on alternate viewpoints… 

Of the 3 sessions, I found the session on Prayer most thought-provoking. Appreciated the point of how our earthly parents influence our interaction with God, and we make presumptions of both what God is like and how He’d want the relationship to progress. Was challenged to not just be fully open to God, but to also trust in His love and acceptance of who I currently am. 

Strongly recommend this to any and all feeling lost on why their personal experience of knowing God has not equated to life.”

– Ben Thio

“The workshops were a very helpful platform to engage more deeply about spiritual formation together with Scuter and the other participants. I was challenged to rethink my Biblical definitions of common words like rest, and also to be honest with God about where I am and to ask for help. It was also particularly heartening to hear how God was working and shaping each of us in His own way. Highly encouraged and worth your time!”

– Rachel Lee

If these reflections resonate with you, there is more to come. This weekend, BGST is running an introductory course on Spiritual Formation for us, and we look forward to hearing from those participants too. 

Our hope is to offer these courses and others with some regularity – because learning to engage with God in an honest way, and to rest in His love, is not a one-off event. It is a lifelong practice that we need to develop, and we want to keep doing it together.
