Dear BPCWA worshipper, This year, Far Eastern Bible College (or FEBC in short) celebrates its Diamond Jubilee since its founding in 1962. While most of us are familiar with the college, many are probably less familiar with its history. For the benefit of all, I am publishing below an excerpt from the article “Introducing the College” from its Prospectus.

Together, parents and teachers work toward a common objective, while worshippers know how to pray for the children God has put in BPCWA. And if one day, you do need to send your child to the children Sunday school, you know what to expect, based upon the aim of children Sunday school. This pastoral covers my exhortation at the recent
Read moreDear BPCWA worshipper, As we have heard in various messages, are you truly watchful of Christ’s return? God desires our all while we wait. Total consecration is the only life for a Christian while he is on earth. Anything short of our all is sinful unfaithfulness. We learnt that at the end times, the love of many believers will wax cold. Not that there is no love, but that it will be cold love.

The very definition of sin is that “sin is
