Our Church

Missions Month – This year’s theme is “Your Servant is Listening”. As we hear each week’s sermon, may our hearts be open and our ears listening to what God is saying. May our heavenly Father speaks through the sermons and our daily times with Him. May we also respond with action and perseverance in the work He has called us to. Pray that we will have good participation at our in-person Friday missions prayer nights this month, as different individuals share each week.  (See today’s WIS or bulletin channel for more info).

Children’s Discipleship – Our children will be starting a new series of lessons on the Sermon on the Mount, for the rest of this year. Please pray for the hearts of the children and teachers as we grow in living as God’s kingdom people, built on the assurance that we belong to the Kingdom because of Jesus alone!

Our People

Apprentices

• Outgoing: Thank God for our 4 outgoing apprentices: Jenwei who completed a year and returns to work as a medical doctor (see 28 June Word in Season); E&N who completed two years and begin theological college (see 21 June WIS); Deborah Wong who is transitioning to a part-time Children’s Ministry Staff role here. May our Father continue to guide and grow them in Him in all these new seasons!

• Incoming: Praise God for 2 of our new ministry apprentices who began their journey with us this month – Tan Ying Qian and John Wong! As they transition into a season of exploring full-time paid gospel ministry, let us prayerfully support them as a church family. May the Holy Spirit grow them most of all in character and godliness, even as they grow in knowledge of the Son and in the ministry of His word and of prayer.

Our Denomination

Emmanuel BP – The church celebrated 49 years on Saturday! We thank God for the recent developments but are praying earnestly for more young families with children to join us so that we can continue growing and begin reaching out in a more substantial way.

Our World

Indonesia – Thank God for a fruitful visit last week when SQ and 6 others from ZB went to meet and encourage a group of missiology school alumni and their families. They spent time together, sharing a meal, and also hearing and seeing their ministry contexts, like a food processing factory, a soccer school, a medical concierge and mobility support ministry and clean water filter provision for community spaces. Pray for the adequate provision of their monthly support needs as it can be challenging to raise enough. They are currently discipling many from communities that have few Jesus followers, may these be discipled well and go on to make other disciples.

1. Congratulations to Keith & Elyssa, on the birth of their third child, Owen Hope Wong Rui Yi, on 28 June 2026!
2. Congratulations to Guok Jia Wei & Lisa Chan on their joining together in holy matrimony on 11 July 2026!
3. Ps Zhiwen is speaking at The Bible Church this Saturday and Sunday.
4. Ps Vernon is preaching at Hebron BPC this morning. He is also on ICT until 17 July.

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?
