Our Church

Church Camp 2025 – We are just two months away to Camp and we praise God for 451 adults and children who have registered for camp this year! Please uphold our speaker, Henry Eatock-Taylor and his wife, Rebecca & daughters, Chloe & Elizabeth who will be ministering to our preschoolers, that the Lord will guide them in their preparation for this time of ministry among us. For camp to run smoothly and meaningfully, we need an army of people to serve in various capacities, please pray for many willing hearts to respond to God’s call to serve.

Terusan Guest Workers Outreach – Pray that every guest worker attending will experience the deep love of Christ and find hope through the message of Easter. Pray that hearts will be open to receiving the good news of Jesus Christ and that lives will be transformed, and also for meaningful connections between the workers and the outreach team, so friendships and community support can grow. May God’s strength, wisdom, and guidance be upon those leading and serving in the outreach program.

Additions & Alterations Building Project – The site showround was conducted to 8 pre-qualified tenderers this past Thursday. Contractors who are committed to tender will be issued the tender documents and drawings this Monday 21 April, upon submission of a tender deposit. Pray for the tenderers to be thorough and fair in their tender preparation and for the Lord to prepare a competent and responsible contractor to undertake this project.

Our World

Myanmar – Thank God for the safe distribution of relief aid such as water, medicine and tarpaulins for shelter in the recent 2 weeks to the earthquake affected areas. The reports and pictures from 2 church groups and an NGO known to us has helped our church understand the scale and need. Pray for the provision of the financial resources needed to continue providing aid in the coming weeks. Many are living in tents and have had to battle the heat and the lack of clean water to survive daily. Pray for the churches who are reaching out to the affected in their community and beyond it to persevere in love and compassion. Pray that the government will not hinder the timely distribution of aid to affected areas (BBC news, 2 April 2025).

By Ps Dev Menon

What does it mean to you that we serve a God who raises the dead? 

I guess for most, it means that death is not the end. We have this certain hope that even though we die – we come to the end of our mortal lives – God promises that just as He raised Christ from the tomb, so will He raise us from our graves on that final day. This is a wonderful comfort to hold on to during any critical illness or at any funeral. 

Yet as we study the book of Romans, we realise more and more that death is really about sin. The reason death of any kind exists, is because of sin. All die because all sin. 

So then, if we serve a God who raises the dead, it means we serve a God who gives to sinners, a new kind of life. A life that transcends sin, is beyond sin, overcomes sin in a such definitive way, much like resurrection overcomes death. An impossible kind of life. 

I think the impossibility of this really needs to impact us. That what God does in us through His Spirit is an impossible thing, just like resurrection is an impossible thing. 

Because strangely enough, once we believe that God can do the impossible… can take any sinner – no matter how bad, how messed up, how lost or how broken. Can take any sinner, no matter how ‘dead’, and give them a new and impossible life… once we trust God to that extent and in that way – won’t that cultivate in us this amazing confidence and intense hope? And not just for ourselves but for everyone around us? 

Friend, if today you feel that your life is over… everything has gone wrong, you’ve messed it all up and others have written you off as hopeless – beyond any possibility of change, life just seem to keep getting worse and worse… please don’t despair! 

The God that we serve gives life to the dead. That’s His speciality. 

If you are new, or you haven’t been back in church for a long time, and you want to get to know this God better, please contact myself or any of the staff (details are on page 2).
