Christmas Day 2009

We were at Bishan Chinese Corps (church) on Christmas Day and enjoyed every moment of our time with the folk there. It is a fast growing church, the hall was filled to overflowing. It's always a joy to visit this church - the people are all very friendly and enthusiastic for the kingdom.

Lieut. Colonel Tan Thean Seng enrolled eight senior soldiers and accepted four adherents.

Christmas lunch was provided for the worshippers. We came away feeling very blessed and thank God for allowing us to minister to these good folk.

GOD IS WITH US

How good to know that God is with us still.
We must have tested well, His patient love,
Our waywardness, our protestations shrill
Must long have wearied angel hosts above.
We do not merit God's great constancy,
So much He does, and gives yet we reject,
His views by right should be hostility
And yet, we still remain, His own elect.

He then is with us, with us everyday,
In patience, wisdom, strength and gentle grace,
Is with us in our work and in our play,
And puts the light of heaven on our face.

Immanuel. that promise-laden name,
At once our hope, reality and claim. (Harry Read)
