CBS is a growing fellowship among our youths that is dedicated to reaching students in tertiary education with the life-giving Word of God. At a time when campuses are filled with competing voices (many of which are spiritually destructive), along with captivating ideas and pressures that draw hearts away from Christ, this ministry exists to anchor young hearts and minds firmly in the truth of Christ. Through faithful teaching, Q&A sessions, prayer, and fellowship, Christian students are equipped to grow spiritually and live out their faith with courage and clarity.
Our campus ministry meets online every Thursday at 6:00 pm, making it accessible to students, regardless of location or academic schedule – so they can meet together to learn God’s Word. Each meeting centres on the study of God’s Word, encouraging thoughtful discussion, mutual edification, and prayerful reflection. It is a safe and welcoming space where students can ask questions, strengthen their convictions, and be encouraged in their walk with the Lord.
We warmly invite all tertiary students from colleges, polytechnics, universities, and professional institutions to join these weekly gatherings. Students are also encouraged to invite their friends and classmates, creating opportunities for others to hear the Gospel and encounter Christ through the Scriptures.
Bearing witness to Christ in tertiary institutions is both a privilege and a responsibility. Campuses are mission fields for Christian students to live out their faith, speak the truth in love, and reflect Christ’s character. God uses their witness to shine His light in places of learning and influence.
Believers in educational campuses face constant pressure from ungodly ideologies, moral compromises, and spiritually destructive voices that challenge their faith. This Campus Bible Study provides encouragement through God’s Word, strengthening students to stand firm in Christ, grow in discernment and live boldly as faithful witnesses. “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ” (Col. 2:8).
If you are a tertiary student, join CBS’s online meetings. Come, learn the Word, grow in faith, and be a faithful witness for Christ where God has placed you.

Thank God for the 3 days of this camp, which has taught me many valuable lessons concerning sin and temptation. Thank God for all those who worked hard over the past few months to ensure the smooth running of the camp, and even those serving in the many different areas during the camp as well. Praise God for the time of fellowship and learning of God’s Word together.
I’m thankful for the theme messages faithfully preached by Pr Cornelius, on the theme: “Fight the Good Fight Against Sin”. These messages have helped me to reflect back on how I’ve been living my life and on my personal walk with God. As I navigate the struggles against sin in my daily life, these messages serve as timely reminders for me to continue to watch myself and resist the devil (James 4:7). I’ve learnt that temptation can be either internal or external. Temptation is not sin when it is external and resisted against, but becomes sin when it is internal and embraced. I’ve also learnt about the functions and limitations of God’s Law, and about habitual sins and how we can break them.
One particular lesson which has impacted me most is the importance of prayer and asking God to help us resist temptations. Prayer is submitting ourselves to God, asking God to bend our will according to His, and not changing His will according to what we want.
I pray that I will continue to remember and apply these lessons amidst all the temptations around me. May I will continue to grow closer to God, and yield myself to Him in my fight against sin.

I thank God for seeing me through another year and for enabling me to come for YF. The messages in YF have moved me and drawn me (and my brother Max) closer to God. Furthermore, by His grace and strength, Max and I had also attended the Catechism class. I also thank God for the encouragement from Pastor, Pr Cornelius, Dns Diana, the Aux-Comm, and brothers and sisters in Christ. Their fellowship, as well as their love and support, have encouraged me greatly.
I’m thankful for the privilege to join this YF retreat, which has allowed us to learn the importance of resisting temptation and surrendering all our desires to the Lord. The Lord has truly blessed me with so much, and I pray that in 2026 I will be a more contented Christian and strive to be a good testimony to those around me, especially my family. May I also be a good encouragement to the younger youths joining YF in 2026, just like how the older sisters and brothers have done for me.

Thank God for seeing us through the recent youth retreat, and for the edifying theme messages. The theme was an answered prayer for me, as often I find myself stumbling due to yielding to temptations in my continual walk with the Lord. Indeed, “Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because (I) keep not thy law” (Ps 119:136).
I thank God for the aid of brothers and sisters who cared and looked after me, and for the recovery and sustenance God has given me, while I fell unwell due to sudden diarrhoea during the camp.
In particular, I thank God for the opportunity to use my God-given talent to serve Him by designing the cover for this retreat’s booklet. The concept I had in mind focused on the shield, inspired by Ephesians 6:16 – “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Furthermore, when I was brainstorming and exploring ideas, I followed the idea of the sword – “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:17).
Finally, I thank God for all of His blessings, and I pray that we may all be channels of God’s blessings to others.

I thank God for the opportunity to attend my first YF retreat, where I was richly nourished by His Word and blessed through meaningful fellowship. Amidst the many internal and external temptations I face in my daily life, the messages shared during the retreat served as a timely and much-needed reminder to continually fight the good fight against sin.
I was reminded of the importance of staying close to God and His Word, which serves as a mirror that reveals our sinful nature and our deep need for salvation. This spiritual battle requires conscious effort and steadfast faith. We must remain aware of the sinful lusts that dwell within us, willingly submitting and surrendering them to God so that they may be put to death.
Our struggle with sin will persist and may even intensify as we grow older. Yet, this very struggle is testament of our salvation, for it reflects a renewed heart that now hates sin and desires righteousness. Therefore, we must remain prayerful and watchful, yielding our bodies as instruments of righteousness and not of sin, as we rely wholly on God each day in this ongoing battle. “Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God” (Romans 6:13).
