Our Church

English as Second Language (ESL) Ministry – Thank God for past Monday’s registration that saw 17 newcomers for the second half of the year. Pray for the health of our volunteer teachers, and that they will continue to be sensitive to the spiritual needs of the students and be able to build relationships with them. Pray also for God’s guidance in their preparation and planning of their 10th Anniversary celebration. 

Mission Prayer Night (Fridays in July) – May our hearts be soft and ears open to listen to God’s will and for us to respond in obedience. The last three Fridays saw JC (who was commissioned), KY (serving with Habibi) and EK and NK (a couple in training for service in West Asia) sharing more about their work. This coming week, sister CT will be sharing how she is beginning this journey of preparing herself for work cross-culturally. 
And in the final Friday of July, Ps Chris Rajendran will share about the work among the guest workers in Terusan Recreation Centre. May more people come to pray together.

Our People

Y and ET – Pray for Y and ET, newly weds who have moved overseas since April. They are now in West Asia and exploring opportunities to serve our heavenly Father. Pray for smooth adaptation to the culture, language and life together for the Lord. May they have clarity for their future ministry and for the church here to be faithful, relevant witnesses to the Father, so that all who are lost can find Him. 

Our World

Nepal – Pray for the two ministry partners that we have in this country, serving least reached areas and peoples in remote places. Challenges to regular discipleship meetings are geographical, being far and hard to reach and also spiritual. Many are Tibetan Buddhist in these areas. Pray that the few brothers and sisters who follow Jesus in the high places of this country will be grounded in God’s word and in spiritual community so that they can stand firm in the faith.

1. Congratulations to our staff Joel & Vanessa Khoo, on the birth of their firstborn daughter, Keziah Khoo Kai Ning, on 13 July 2026! Vanessa will be on maternity leave for the next few months & Joel is continuing his studies at ETCAsia.
2. Ps Danny is on overseas leave from 17-22 July.
3. Ps Zhiwen is preaching at Ang Mo Kio Presbyterian Church this morning.

By Timothy Ong

We are now two weeks into this year’s Missions Month. What have we been hearing from God? What lessons has He been impressing upon our hearts? 

Servant. From Ps Zhiwen’s message last week, we considered how the words ‘Here I Am’ convey a posture of being present and available, ready to listen and obey. Whether we are someone with authority, or have someone in authority above us, we easily understand that servants do as they are told. They receive and obey the instructions given to them by their masters. More than that, servants see their identities primarily as who their master is – to whom do they belong. The question we must ask: Who are we serving?

Listening. Even before we consider whether we are listening, perhaps the primary question is who or what we are listening to! God has been gracious to our church family in confronting our idols through the sermon series in June. He has gently but surely exposed some of the idols that we have allowed to creep into our lives, causing our hearts, attention and worship away from God. Some idols include ministry, time, progress and health. We also face other cultural pressures here in Singapore like success, wealth and status. The question we must ask: Whose voice are we listening to?

I write this as a sinner in need of God’s grace continually. The different voices of our world today are going to be increasingly tempting and alluring. Honestly, my heart is prone to wander too. I pray that each day of this month, we will seize every opportunity to re-center our lives around Jesus and recalibrate our hearts by abiding in Him.

If I may encourage all of us with just two things you can be doing this month:

1) Pick up a response card (from the main entrance of the Sanctuary) if you haven’t already done so. Seek the Lord’s voice through the messages on Sundays, but also spend unhurried time with Him daily in your devotions or your commute. Pen down where the Lord is asking you to partner with Him in His Mission, and how you can be availing yourself for Him.

2) Join the in-person Friday prayer meetings where we will begin by first lifting our hearts in worship to Him. Different individuals will share their journeys in obedience, some of whom are preparing to serve in cross-cultural missions longer term. Let us come alongside not only to pray for them, but to pray for ourselves too.

Dear Zion Bishan family, this Missions Month (and also for the rest of our lives), shall we renew our commitment to daily listen to Him, and serve His purposes wherever He has placed us in this season? I pray I myself will be taking time too to hear from God and respond to Him in faith and obedience to Him as well. Will you join me?

Re-membering People with Dementia Workshop 2: Ministering to People with Dementia
