Yew Jinn’s Fulltime Call to BPCWA

Dear BPCWAians, A fulltimer’s call to the ministry is an important part of the person’s life. It is a personal call but to a public ministry to serve among God’s people in His church. So this week, I am publishing Yew Jinn’s testimony of his call to the ministry. I remember that night more than 3 years ago, when Yew Jinn told me that he wanted to meet with me. He came to the parsonage one night and it was then that he told me that he had confirmed God’s call for him to the fulltime ministry. Unknown to him, the news brought much comfort to my heart that God had called a Chinese minister from our midst to serve

Myanmar Literature Ministry

Dear BPCWAians, Every Tuesday during our prayer meeting, we pray for the Myanmar Literature Ministry to forward God’s truth in Myanmar.

Appended below is an article written by

Discipleship: A Disciple’s Vow

Dear BPCWAians, As part of the Great Commission, Christ commands “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matt 28:19). Understanding this context, when a new believer is baptised, they are required to take a solemn vow in the form of questions. In addition to the public assertion of their salvation and faith in Christ’s finished work, these are specific questions affirming their commitment to be a disciple of Christ. Today, we look at 3 aspects of the statements of this vow which many of us have taken. To give up sinful habits and live unto righteousness according to God’s Word. Baptism is “a
