Our Church

“GetReal about Missions” – July is missions month and our theme is GetReal about Missions. Today and last week, we covered the topic of the Pursuit and Privilege of Mission. Pray that we at Zion Bishan will take action and respond to all that we have heard these past 2 weeks. May more be willing to make time to come together in-person on Friday nights this month to pray for Missions this month.

Our People

Enabling Ministry – We thank God for a very fruitful Enabling Ministry (EM) dialogue last Sunday. We identified a few areas that Zion Bishan will need to work on in our desire to be a Gospel People and a place with Gospel Culture. We desire to speak the truth in love, we also seek to live out the truth in loving action. May God open our eyes and hearts to “see” people in our midst who would be encouraged by our loving actions. Pray also for the EM team as we convert the discussion into action to make ZB a truly inclusive church.

Our Denomination

BPCIS Retreat – We thank God for a truly restful leaders’ retreat on board the Doulos Phos in Bintan. More than 70 of us spent 2 days listening to stories from the OM leaders and were refreshed in God’s goodness. It was also encouraging to see a number of new leaders and staff across the BP churches. Do pray that all of us will learn how to better help and support one another as we work together for the kingdom!

BPCIS Combined Youth Fellowship – We thank God that the YFs from various BP churches gathered in our church for a Saturday afternoon of sharing and games. It was a platform for the youths to experience the larger Body of Christ in Singapore beyond their own church. Pray that this would be a springboard to foster friendship and support among the churches’ youth leaders.

Our World

5 Religious Blocs (THUMB) – One useful acronym that has helped people remember the major religious categories of unreached peoples is T.H.U.M.B. (Tribals, Hindus, Unreligious, Muslims, Buddhist). Think of one person or one country from one of these blocs and pray for them. May they grow in hunger to know Jesus and be transformed by the gospel.

1. Ps Alby is preaching today at Faith BPC in the morning and Horeb BPC in the afternoon.
2. Ps Dev is attending Moriah BPC’s 26th Anniversary Service this morning.
3. Congratulations to Tim & Joyce on the birth of their son, Nathaniel Fang, on 10 July 2024!
4. Bro Quek Tze Ming has on 1 July 2024 come under the full employment of Zion Bishan. However, he will remain seconded to BGST for a portion of his work week while also look into ZB’s discipleship matters. He will join the 10.30 service CST and assume more pastoral care and support to church members. Do keep his transition in prayer.

[ Missions Month ]

21 July
The Cost of Missions
Mr Lawrence Tong

28 July
The Challenge of Missions
Mr Eugene Wee

By Sha.ron Quek

Every July, here at Zion Bishan, we focus more on God’s Mission. Some are happy to hear more about this, but others perhaps feel great discomfort about it.  But this month, we want to “GetReal” about it.

Over the last few years, we looked at how we are all called to be missional everywhere (2022), with the task of reaching every heart without Christ, one on one (2023). And this year (2024), we want to focus on getting REAL with the task of mission, its pursuit, its privilege, its cost and finally its challenges. Our focus angle this month will be to surface difficult topics and conversations about Missions and foster openness, transparency and vulnerability around that. 

Why GetReal about missions? You may ask. The reason simply is so that we can spur one another on in truth and love for the task Jesus gave us, to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth.  This task originates in the heart of God for a world that is yearning and suffering in sin’s grip. 

Brothers and sisters, let’s not be happy to enjoy God’s salvation only for ourselves. This good news is also for others! We have a responsibility and privilege to share it, to give it to those God has placed around us, and for those even further away. God is already doing this according to His own sovereign plan, our part is to discern how to join Him in what He is doing.  

Come and engage in the sermons, missions prayer nights and missions conversations this month!
