Honouring Those Who Honoured Him
Starkey Road Baptist Church, Largo Florida, held a service last year to honour five pastors’ wives whose husbands are at home with the Lord. These Christian women had served alongside their husbands ‘with effectiveness, faithfulness and distinction. Each of them was a vital part of ministries that God blessed with great abundance.’ What a testimony!…

From the Pastor’s Heart
“Remember his marvelous works that he hath done: his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth:” – Ps 105:5 There were many blessings from the Lord in 1996. The first being the successful implementation of the Small Group System of Home Fellowship Prayer Meeting at Queenstown (Tuesday night) and Thomson (Wednesday night), the first group…

God’s Own Timing
Praise the Lord that Mount Calvary Baptist Church finally owns the double-storey terrace house at No. 3 Lorong 25A Geylang, Singapore 388219. Our initial budget for a church building was $500,000 which could only buy an office space with a 99 year lease. We increased our budget to $700,000 after realising that the budget set…

Into the Deep
by Bethany Khng The church family of Mount Calvary Baptist Church was ‘settling’ quite snugly and happily at the tuition centre at Bukit Batok. We entered into our third year in 1996. The Lord has been good to us. The attendance was encouraging with some regular visitors joining our fellowship. Although we were feeling the…

Blessings from the Classroom
“Mrs Khng? I am Daniel Khoo. Do you remember me?” Standing right in front of me with a bright, radiant smile, was a strapping, well-built young man who extended a hand that gripped mine in a warm handshake. He had indeed grown taller and much more matured, but that winsome smile and unsuppressed enthusiasm of…

Our Best for the Master
I would like to share 2 verses from Colossians 3:23-24. The Apostle Paul wrote, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” He was writing to the slaves of…

I remember…Dr. William Ward Ayer
Our family first met Dr. and Mrs. William Ward Ayer in the summer of 1985, at their lovely home in St. Petersburg, Florida. John was a ministerial student in Bob Jones University, Greenville, South Carolina, pursuing his Bachelor of Arts (Bible). We became acquainted with the Ayers through “The Marching Truth” newsletter whose editor was…

‘But God Mean It For Good’
‘…We regret to inform you that your application to re-join the teaching service is unsuccessful…’ A numb, cold feeling crept in and suffused every part of my body as I held the ‘rejection’ slip limply in my hand. I stared in disbelief at the unexpected bombshell, an impersonal, 2-liner, that threatened to end my 15…

Sweeter As The Years Go By
My husband Vincent and I have celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. (Where have all the years gone?) But I certainly would not trade now the 11th year for the first. As the years progress, it seems so wonderfully that each year has become richer and far more satisfying than before. Of course, I remember and…

God’s Wonderful Works At Mount Calvary Baptist Church
God gave us a verse in the Bible to assure us of His blessings, as we embarked on planting our second church in Singapore. Psalm 126:3 has been a great encouragement ever since. It reads, ‘The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.’ Like Israel, we can look back and rejoice…
