FOREIGN MISSIONS COMMITTEE

Grace Church foreign mission committee was formed on 6 November, 2009. Thank God for the following people who are serving in this committee:

Pastor - Chairman
Elder Soon Huat - Member (China)
Dn Siew Weng - Member (Resource)
Bro Philip Wong - Member (Resource)
Sis Catherine Ng - Member
Sis Jenny Chin - Member (Cambodia)
Sis Tay Boon Jin - Member (Batam)
Sis Katherine Kho - Member (Sect)

Our mission statement:

"Passion for Christ;
Heart for the Lost"
(Phil. 1: 21; Matt. 28: 18-20)

We hope to be able to promote mission awareness and the involvement of more people in the church, as well as to provide guidelines in the mission activities of the church.

Grace Church has a small congregation and in order for us to maximize our resources, the missions committee has decided to concentrate on our present missions in Batam, Cambodia and China.

Do pray with us as we have the following persons who are coordinating with the missionaries in the fields:

For Batam, we have Sis Boon Jin who will work closely with Sis Ang Liang to explore avenues to support their work for the next three years. Plans are being made for mission trips in 2010.

For Cambodia, we have Sis Jenny Chin who will be the co-ordinator with Preacher Chang. The plan for 2010 is to have two mission trips. (Dates have not been finalised).

For China, we have Elder Soon Huat who will be the co-ordinator. We thank God for Sis Chew Gim who will be going to China as our missionary. She has just completed two years of theological studies with the Singapore Bible College in "Intercultural Studies." She has visited the place she will be serving for the next one year, God-willing. Pray for her.

A missions committee is not complete without a resource team. Dn Siew Weng and Bro Philip Wong will take on this task. They will source for information on various mission organizations, mission conferences, prayer items, news letters etc.

Grace Church has always been involved in foreign missions, but we don't have a committee like this present one to look into the details of the work. The Session has been at the forefront of this task until now when the committee is able to handle such work. Pray for us, brethren.
