The hospitality of the church is a vital ministry through which the love of Christ is visibly manifested to believers and unbelievers alike. While individual members and families often participate in this work, biblical hospitality is required of the church as a whole, which is the household of God. Scripture exhorts local assemblies of Christians to receive, care for, and encourage God’s people so that the fellowship Christ has established among the redeemed is always cherished.

The very first New Testament church in Jerusalem was marked by such corporate hospitality. The believers in Jerusalem shared their resources and cared for one another so that no member was left destitute (cf. Acts 2:44–47; 4:32–35). Apostolic churches regularly welcomed travelling preachers, missionaries, and fellow believers. The apostle John commended the church’s support of faithful ministers, urging believers to receive them so that the church might become “fellowhelpers to the truth” (3 John 5–8). The churches of Macedonia also demonstrated generous hospitality by sacrificially providing for the needs of God’s people (cf. 2 Corinthians 8:1–5).

Such hospitality strengthens the communion of the saints, encourages weary labourers, comforts the afflicted, and provides a powerful testimony to the watching world. Visitors should find in the church a place of worship and a spiritual family where Christ’s love is sincerely expressed. As members and families willingly contribute the use of their homes, resources, time, and service, they are not acting independently but supporting the church’s collective ministry of hospitality.

A hospitable church reflects the welcoming grace of God Himself. We who were once “strangers and foreigners” have been received into God’s household through Christ (Ephesians 2:19). Therefore, as a congregation, let us prayerfully cultivate a culture of gracious reception, loving care, generous provision, and warm fellowship (cf. 1 Peter 4:9; Hebrews 13:2). Such hospitality strengthens the unity of the body, promotes the work of Christ’s servants, and glorifies the Lord who has so graciously welcomed us into His eternal family.

Hospitality also guards the church against coldness, isolation, and selfishness. It nurtures mutual love and creates opportunities for discipleship across generations and borders. It is especially precious in welcoming visitors, encouraging new believers, supporting missionaries, and comforting those who are lonely or afflicted. Let us emulate the commendable practice of the churches of earlier generations, as well as faithful churches around us today, in practising Christ-centred hospitality.

Thanksgiving Letter from our Pangasinan Brethren

Greetings in the marvellous name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

By God’s grace, we arrived safely back here in Pangasinan with hearts full of joy and thanksgiving. We praise the Lord for the wonderful two weeks of fellowship, encouragement, and feasting on His Word that we experienced together with the brethren in Singapore.

On behalf of our group, I would like to sincerely express our heartfelt gratitude to you and all the brethren whom we met, both old friends and new acquaintances, for the warm fellowship, love, and kindness shown to us. We are especially thankful to brethren who opened their homes and welcomed us with such generous hospitality. Through those moments of fellowship, we truly experienced the love and unity of the body of Christ.

During our stay in Singapore and Malaysia, our dear sister personally shared with us how greatly she was encouraged by what she witnessed, especially the involvement of your youths in the ministry. She was blessed to see them faithfully participating in choir practices and serving in various ministries, not just on Sundays. What captivated her was seeing that the youths are not consumed by their phones or worldly distractions, but instead have a genuine desire for fellowship, worship, and service to the Lord. This is a great encouragement, particularly as we see our young people facing many challenges here in Pangasinan today.

She was also deeply encouraged to witness how a Christian family lives out their faith daily, particularly through the example of the Resuma family. Seeing the children devoted to reading and studying the Bible was a beautiful testimony of how God’s Word is being nurtured within the home.

We were also deeply touched by the brethren who took the time to take us to the airport and see us off despite their busy schedules. Their love and thoughtfulness were a meaningful expression of Christian fellowship. My wife, Olive, would also like to extend her heartfelt appreciation to those who lovingly cared for and assisted Timotheus during our time in Singapore and Malaysia. Their kindness and support were truly a blessing to our family.

We would also like to express our deepest gratitude to the Board of Elders for giving us the opportunity to attend the church camp. It was indeed a great blessing and a source of encouragement to all of us. The teachings, fellowship, and reminders from the catechism classes refreshed our hearts and renewed our commitment to be mindful of the truths that we uphold.

As we eagerly look forward to our Sunday worship service, we are excited to share with our brethren here in Pangasinan the blessings and experiences God has allowed us to witness. We pray that our testimonies may encourage others and bring glory to God, who has graciously allowed us to experience the beauty of fellowship among His people.

Lastly, may we also humbly request your prayers for our church here in Pangasinan, that the Lord may raise up more faithful men who will dedicate themselves to the work of the ministry, and that our youths may develop a deeper passion to serve Christ and remain steadfast amidst the influences of this wicked world.

Once again, thank you very much for your love, prayers, and generosity. We give all glory and praise to our faithful God for bringing us together and allowing us to experience such precious fellowship in Christ.

May the Lord continue to bless you, your family, and the ministry He has entrusted to you.

In Christ,
Dn Jumar Balicao

The church of Jesus Christ exists because God established it, and it continues because God faithfully sustains it. Every aspect of the church’s ministry, such as preaching the Gospel, discipling believers, supporting pastors and missionaries, caring for the needy, publishing biblical literature, and sending forth labourers, depends entirely upon God’s gracious provision. The Scriptures consistently teach that the Lord never calls His church to a work without also providing what is necessary to accomplish it. Though He often uses His people as instruments, all provisions ultimately come from Him.

The apostle Paul reminds us, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). This promise was given to believers who had generously supported God’s work through Paul. Their giving did not impoverish them, for God Himself undertook to meet their needs. The church, therefore, must never trust in human wealth or worldly methods, but in the inexhaustible riches of her heavenly Father.

Pastors and Preachers

God first provides for His church by calling and equipping faithful servants to shepherd His flock and proclaim His truth. The ascended Christ Himself “gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers” (Ephesians 4:11). These ministers are not self-appointed professionals or merely employees of the church; they are Christ’s gifts to His people, raised up according to His sovereign will for the edification of His body.

The Lord graciously places within those whom He calls a deep burden for the salvation of souls and a heartfelt love for His church. Like the apostle Paul, they are constrained by the love of Christ and willingly devote themselves to the ministry of the Word and prayer (Acts 6:4). This inward calling is confirmed by the church as the Lord makes evident both the man’s godly character and his fitness for ministry (1 Timothy 3:1–7; Titus 1:5–9).

Full-time ministry staff: The Lord also calls some believers to full-time ministry roles that support and facilitate the ministry of the Word, even though they are not called to preaching ministries. Paul travelled with numerous co-workers whose ministries were largely supportive. Examples of such men in supportive roles include Luke, Tychicus and Epaphroditus. These workers were recognised, entrusted with responsibility, and often supported by the church.

From this principle, churches may legitimately recognise and appoint full-time administrative, publishing, media, or logistical workers today.

God not only calls His servants but also equips them. Through the Holy Spirit, He grants the spiritual gifts, wisdom, and grace necessary to preach His Word faithfully, shepherd His people lovingly, defend sound doctrine courageously, and lead the church with humility (1 Corinthians 12:4–11; 2 Timothy 2:24–25). Though ministers must diligently study the Scriptures and labour earnestly in their calling, they shall also continually depend upon God’s enabling grace, confessing with Paul, “our sufficiency is of God” (2 Corinthians 3:5).

The church should therefore receive faithful pastors and preachers, along with their supporting team that God has provided, and with gratitude, pray for them continually and support them in their ministry. By providing godly shepherds, Christ demonstrates His unfailing care for His church, ensuring that His people are fed with the truth, guarded from error, and built up in the faith until He comes again.

Open Doors of Ministry

The Lord who commissions His church also opens doors for its ministry. Paul rejoiced when “a great door and effectual is opened unto me” (1 Corinthians 16:9), and he requested prayer that “God would open unto us a door of utterance” (Colossians 4:3). Whether in our local community or in distant lands, every genuine opportunity to preach the Gospel, establish churches, teach the Scriptures, publish biblical literature, or train labourers is granted by God’s sovereign providence. No human effort can create such opportunities apart from His will. 

The Lord opens hearts to receive His Word (Acts 16:14), directs His servants to needy fields (Acts 16:6–10), and prepares circumstances for the advancement of the Gospel. As He enlarges the church’s opportunities, He also provides the workers with the wisdom, finances, and strength required for the task. 

In this regard, we thank God for all the local and foreign avenues He has opened before our church to spread the Gospel, establish churches, and train men for the work of the Gospel. 

We as a church must prayerfully discern and faithfully enter every door that He graciously opens for His glory.

Material Provision

God ordinarily provides for His church through the willing generosity of His redeemed people. Under both the Old and New Testaments, His people were called to support the worship and service of God. In the New Testament, the apostle Paul writes, “Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel” (1 Corinthians 9:14). Those who devote themselves to preaching and teaching are to be sustained by the church, enabling them to labour without distraction in the ministry of the Word.

Christian giving is never to be regarded as a burdensome duty or an attempt to earn God’s favour. Rather, it is the joyful and grateful response of hearts transformed by His saving grace. The Macedonian churches exemplified this spirit. Though enduring “a great trial of affliction” and “deep poverty”, they abounded in liberality because they “first gave their own selves to the Lord” (2 Corinthians 8:2, 5). Their generosity flowed from consecrated hearts, not from material abundance. Likewise, Paul exhorts, “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).

The church needs no manipulative fundraising, emotional pressure, or promises of earthly prosperity in exchange for financial gifts. Scripture knows nothing of coercive appeals or commercialised ministry. Christian giving is an act of worship offered voluntarily, joyfully, and thankfully unto God. The Lord delights in willing sacrifices born of love, rather than gifts extracted through guilt or worldly persuasion.

The oft-quoted saying of Hudson Taylor expresses a biblical principle: “God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply.” While this should not be interpreted to mean that God’s servants will always enjoy abundance or receive immediate answers, it rightly affirms that the Lord never fails to provide all that is necessary to accomplish His purposes. Sometimes He supplies through generous believers, sometimes through unexpected providences, sometimes through sacrificial labour, and often after seasons of waiting that deepen our faith.

The church today has every reason to trust her faithful Lord. “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”  (Romans 8:32). Therefore, let believers give cheerfully, administer faithfully, pray earnestly, and labour diligently, remembering that the ministry belongs to the Lord. As Scripture declares, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work” (2 Corinthians 9:8).

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!

The Lord has graciously provided sufficient funds to meet the substantial shortfall through the generous giving of the members and friends of GBPC over the past week. We praise Him that, by His faithful provision, this financial year can now conclude without the deficit we had feared. May the Lord bless all the cheerful givers!

Joan Cheah

I thank and praise the Lord for His goodness throughout this blessed church camp.

My heart is filled with gratitude for every hymn, message, prayer, act of service, and worship rendered unto God during the camp.

I have learned much about God’s preservation of His holy Word, which is infallible and inerrant, and has been faithfully preserved throughout the generations. As the Psalmist declares in Psalm 12:6–7: “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” I pray that the Spirit of God will help me to remain faithful in trusting the Scriptures as the supreme authority and the foundation of my life.

Besides this, it is my earnest desire that the Lord will continue to grant me grace, wisdom and strength to remain steadfast in His holy precepts and to serve Him wholeheartedly throughout my life until He calls me to His glorious home.

I also wish to express my joy for the warm fellowship I enjoyed with the brethren during those five days at the church camp. It was a time of mutual encouragement and exhortation in the Lord, for which I am truly thankful.

I would also like to thank the camp committee for their labour of love and service unto God. Their careful planning and arrangements, including the accommodation at Courtyard Marriott Hotel and all the logistical preparations, contributed greatly to a blessed and comfortable camp experience.

Above all, I thank the Lord for all the valuable messages preached by the preachers.

The topic on the “Bible Presbyterian Distinctives”, faithfully preached and taught by Pastor Koshy, has benefited me greatly. These messages have enriched me spiritually and reminded me to live as a child of God – to be fruitful, to persevere in the faith, and to serve Him faithfully.

To God be all the glory and honour. Amen.

Elder Alan Choy

Thank the Lord for His goodness and grace in granting us a wonderful church camp, a time of revising and learning the important theologies from God’s Word. We are exhorted to “sanctify the Lord God in our hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh [us] a reason of the hope that is in [us] with meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15). Thank God for His servants – our Pastor and the preachers – who divided the Word faithfully to us. Thanks to our Camp Master and all the camp committee members for their labour of love, looking into every detail of the physical arrangements for the campers. It was indeed a joy to see brethren coming together in the unity of faith.

Reuel Resuma

1 Thessalonians 5:18 – “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

I thank God for enabling my family to attend this year’s church camp, where I’ve been blessed with a five-day-long study of God’s Word. I’ve been especially blessed in this year’s camp, in that I have been instructed in the doctrines of our church, so that I may clearly understand why we stand firmly as Bible-Presbyterians in a world filled with numerous denominations and doctrines. I also thank God for the morning devotions and the messages on stewardship, from which I realised that I still have much to learn to be a good steward of Christ over the things He has entrusted to me. I also thank God for the camp committee, who diligently planned this event, for every preacher who faithfully expounded the Word to us, and for all those who served humbly behind the scenes. I also thank God for the fellowship and fun I’ve had with other brethren. I pray that I will take back the lessons that I have learned and apply them to my life, and that I will serve God and others with the gifts He has given me and glorify Him always.

Margie Jasmin

I’m Margie Jasmin from Pangasinan, the Philippines. Thank God for giving my two children and me the opportunity to travel to Singapore to attend a church camp in Malaysia. I didn’t expect to come here because of the many struggles in processing my passport and financial needs. Thank God for the Lord’s gracious provisions that helped us to come for the church camp.

I thank God for all our brethren here in Singapore for their hospitality and fellowship since we arrived in Singapore and during the journey to and from the church camp. We shall now go back to Pangasinan, encouraged and happy to share with our fellow brethren what we have learned at the church camp. Our heartfelt thanks to the pastors and the preachers who preached the Word of God and provided spiritual learning. Thanks also to all elders and deacons. To God be the glory.

Nathan Resuma

I thank God for this church camp, where we could come together to worship Him as one body—the church—and for His abundant blessings throughout the camp, including His gracious providence in enabling my family to attend. I thank God for the pastors, preachers, and children’s teachers who faithfully taught from His Word, especially on the theme, “The Doctrinal Distinctives of Our Bible-Presbyterian Church”, and for the camp committee who diligently planned every aspect of this camp.

I also thank God for the blessed fellowship I enjoyed with my roommates, family, and friends. I pray that God will help me to apply the lessons I have learned, that I may live victoriously for His glory and “finish my course with joy” (Acts 20:24).

All glory be to God alone!

Lok Qian Ning

In a world that favours ecumenism, what a precious blessing it was to attend the recent church camp, where many of the distinct doctrines and principles of the Bible-Presbyterian church were so clearly spelt out from the truths of God’s Word. Truly, the importance of knowing and communicating God’s truth cannot be overstated. Though there’s still much more to learn, I thank God for Pastor who laboured much to concisely deliver the key points of the B-P distinctives. The messages on stewardship were also excellent reproofs and reminders to examine my faithfulness to God in how I use what He has entrusted to me. Thank God as well for the preachers who led the morning devotions, and for the camp committee who worked tirelessly. Indeed, learning from God’s Word and serving at church camps have been among the best uses of time, treasure, and talents!

Aron Ong

It was by God’s grace and mercy that my family and I were able to attend this year’s church camp. I was taken ill by a viral infection slightly over a week before the camp and am thankful to recover just in time, and also that my family members were protected from the illness.

I thank God for our Pastor and preachers who faithfully ministered the Word through the camp theme messages on our Bible-Presbyterian doctrinal distinctives, the morning messages on stewardship, and the daily morning devotions. The messages on stewardship refocused our mindset on managing and using our God-given resources for the glory of God. The camp theme messages renewed and reinforced our understanding of the biblical basis of our B-P faith, and together with the Q&A clarified and addressed some of the questions I had. I especially love the messages on Calvinism - the 5 points of TULIP - O the blessed thought of God’s saving grace to me and the reassurance of His preservation of all His chosen ones.

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6).

Last but not least, I thank God for the opportunities to serve and fellowship in the camp. Thank God for the camp organising committee, the games organisers, and all the brethren who have made this a blessed camp for God’s glory.

Shaphrang Lyngdoh Nongrang

As one who is a sinner saved by grace but often filled with doubts, I must confess that I struggled last December with the decision to sign up and attend the Gethsemane Church Camp 2026. In my heart, I desired to return home to my family during the vacation, thinking that would be far better for me. Yet I thank God for His sovereign grace in bringing me to this camp. Looking back, I see clearly that it was not my own desire, but the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ that led me to attend the camp.

This being my first Gethsemane Bible-Presbyterian Church Camp, and coming from a non-BP background with just a year at FEBC, I had only some knowledge of certain doctrines. Through the preaching of God’s Word, I was humbled to see how shallow my understanding was and how weak my convictions remained. Christ was set before me, and my heart was searched.

In particular, the morning devotion on contending for the faith preached by Pr Samson from Jude 3–4 deeply convicted me. I saw my fear, my silence, and how easily I shrink from standing for the truth. I realised that contending for the faith is not something distant or theoretical, but a personal calling. Too often, I desire comfort more than faithfulness, and ease more than obedience.

The messages on stewardship, especially on time, treasure, and gifts, were very searching, showing me how much of my life I still hold back from Christ, even though I belong wholly to Him. The teaching on Biblical Separation, though I had learned it last semester at FEBC, brought fresh conviction that I must live a life set apart unto Christ without compromise. The teaching on total abstinence was also new to me, as it is not something I had been taught in my church, and it reminded me of the warnings in Scripture concerning the dangers and deception of strong drink (Proverbs 20:1; 23:29–35), and how I need to live soberly. I am likewise thankful for the teaching on VPI and VPP, which has helped strengthen my confidence that the Word of Christ is perfectly preserved and trustworthy.

As I consider returning to Shillong in the future, according to God’s will, where many worldly and charismatic influences seem to be increasing, and where we as Christians may be losing our Presbyterian roots, I am humbled and convicted that I must not remain passive. By His grace, I desire to stand firm, hold fast to His Word, and be ready to contend for the faith with humility and courage, remembering the teachings I have learned from this church camp. I pray that Christ will continue to sanctify me, making me more faithful and obedient not only to speak of Him but also to live for Him, and above all to be more conformed to His image.

I also thank God for the love and fellowship of the saints at Gethsemane. This was not mere outward kindness, but true communion in Christ that refreshed my soul. Through the care and conversations with the church leaders and members, I experienced a genuine love for Christ and His truth. It gave me a foretaste of heaven, where Christ will be all in all (1 Cor. 15:28), and His people perfectly united in Him. Even now, I sense something of that unity and joy, and it stirs my heart to long for that day. I pray that God will help me to cherish the fellowship of His people and to walk faithfully among His saints for His glory. I also desire, by His grace, to serve, to be edified, and to continue learning from the example of Gethsemane Church in unity and sound doctrine. May God help me.

Soli Deo Gloria.

Timothy Hu

I thank God for the privilege of attending the Gethsemane BPC Church Camp 2026. After a year of studying at FEBC and worshipping at Gethsemane BPC, I am thankful to see how much the Lord has helped me grow spiritually. I felt immense gratitude when Dn Lijoy told me we could attend the church camp without worrying about the cost. I am also deeply thankful to be at the Gethsemane Church Camp, where I have been reminded of our Bible-Presbyterian distinctives and have experienced the genuine love and care of the church family.

I thank God for the camp speakers, Pastor Koshy, all the preachers, Camp Master, and those who worked faithfully behind the scenes. I loved every message. Each one felt like a condensed FEBC lecture, a powerful reminder of my standing in the faith, why I hold fast to the truth, and why I must continue to stand firm in these biblical doctrines and Bible-Presbyterian distinctives.

I enjoyed every aspect of the camp, from the faithful preaching and uplifting singspiration, which filled my heart with joy as I sang together with my brothers and sisters in Christ, to the enjoyable games, godly fellowship, and delicious meals. Witnessing the communion of the saints throughout the camp greatly encouraged me and reminded me of the beauty and preciousness of Christian fellowship. It truly felt right and joyful to be among God’s people.

I also thank God for the privilege of serving on the AV team; through this opportunity, I learned much, not only about audio and visual work but also about functioning within a well-organised team. My first Gethsemane B-P Church Camp was so wonderful that I must be careful not to take it for granted.

To end my testimony, may I share a Bible verse that I am very fond of, Psalm 36:9-10: “For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.”

We thank God for the recent church camp, during which the people of God gathered to worship, diligently study the Scriptures, pray, and fellowship. Such occasions are precious gifts from the Lord. They are means appointed by God to strengthen His church in God’s Word and fellowship, in order to help her advance towards the “unity of the faith” spoken of in Ephesians 4:13—“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ”.

The apostle Paul teaches that Christ has given “some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints…” (Ephesians 4:11–12). Their ministry is not intended merely to increase knowledge but to build up the body of Christ until believers attain spiritual maturity. The goal is clearly stated in verse 13: “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God”.

The phrase “unity of the faith” teaches that the church is not called to pursue mere organisational uniformity or a superficial peace maintained by setting aside doctrinal convictions. Rather, it speaks of a growing oneness among believers in their understanding, belief, and confession of God’s revealed truth. Biblical unity is founded upon the faith once delivered unto the saints (Jude 3). It is a unity produced by God’s Word, not by negotiating or compromising with error.

This is why the careful study of biblical doctrine is indispensable to the life of the church. We thank God for granting us yet another opportunity to study and reaffirm the sound doctrines of His Word that we cherish and uphold in an age when Christendom is increasingly inundated with false teachings, doctrinal confusion, and departures from the faith once delivered unto the saints. Many today imagine that doctrine divides while love unites. However, Scripture teaches that truth and love must walk together. Genuine Christian love rejoices in the truth (1 Cor. 13:6). When believers grow in the knowledge of God’s Word, they become more united in mind and judgment concerning the things of Christ. The stronger their grasp of biblical truth, the stronger their spiritual fellowship becomes.

For this reason, we give thanks to God for the doctrinal instruction received during our church camp. Through the preaching and teaching of Scripture, believers were encouraged to examine their convictions, deepen their understanding, and strengthen their commitment to God’s truth. Such instruction is not just for ministers, elders, or Bible teachers. Every member of Christ’s church has a sacred responsibility to grow in the knowledge of the Lord.

Every believer must approach the biblical doctrine with reverence, humility and faith, allowing God’s Word to instruct, correct, and reform his thinking. Long-held assumptions, personal opinions, or inherited traditions must yield to Scripture. Spiritual growth requires not only learning truths of God’s Word but also abandoning inaccurate notions, so that our faith may be increasingly shaped by the infallible Word of God.

Paul links “the unity of the faith” with “the knowledge of the Son of God”. True unity cannot be separated from a true knowledge of Christ. The more we know Him through His Word, the more we will love Him, trust Him, obey Him, and resemble Him. Spiritual maturity is measured not by age, experience, or activity, but by conformity to Christ. Thus, Paul speaks of attaining “unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ”. The church’s goal is Christlikeness.

This growth is necessary because spiritual immaturity leaves believers vulnerable. The very next verse warns against remaining as “children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine” (Ephesians 4:14). In every generation, false teachings, worldly philosophies, and deceptive influences threaten the church. A congregation that neglects doctrinal instruction will soon become unstable and confused. But a church grounded in Scripture will possess discernment, steadfastness, and spiritual strength.
Therefore, every church member should cultivate a sincere desire to learn God’s Word. We must not be content with a shallow acquaintance with biblical truth. We ought to attend faithfully to the preaching of the Word, participate earnestly in Bible studies, read the Scriptures diligently, and meditate upon God’s truth prayerfully. Spiritual growth is not automatic. It requires humble submission to the teaching ministry Christ has provided in His church.

Moreover, as believers grow in the truth together, they become more united in worship, service, testimony and purpose. Differences in personality, background, age, nationality, or personal preferences lose their power to divide when Christ and His truth occupy the central place in the hearts of His people. The church then becomes a visible testimony of God’s grace and truth in a divided world.

As we reflect upon the blessings of the recent church camp, let us thank God not only for the fellowship enjoyed but also for the doctrinal instruction received. May the lessons learned not remain solely as pleasant memories but become instruments of continued spiritual growth. Let every member resolve to pursue a deeper knowledge of God’s Word, that together we may press on towards “the unity of the faith” and increasingly reflect “the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ”.

May the Lord graciously grant that our church be ever growing in truth, steadfast in doctrine, united in faith, and increasingly conformed to the image of our blessed Saviour.

Our annual church camp begins tomorrow. Let us remember that it is far more than a scheduled gathering or a brief retreat from our daily routine. It is a gracious provision of God whereby His people gather together for worship, spiritual instruction, prayer, fellowship, and renewed consecration unto Him. Therefore, preparation for camp ought not to begin with the packing of bags, but with preparing our hearts.

Prepare prayerfully. Pray that the Lord would grant all the brethren journey mercies and gather us safely at the Courtyard by Marriott, Kuala Lumpur South, for a season of reverent worship, blessed fellowship, and edifying communion of saints. Pray for the preachers, chairmen, musicians, organisers, media workers, and all who labour behind the scenes. Above all, pray for the Holy Spirit’s working, for unless the Lord blesses, all our planning and effort will be in vain (cf. Psalm 127:1).

Prepare spiritually. Come to hear God’s Word and understand sound doctrines of His Word. The Lord wants us to be equipped with His Word, “henceforth (we) be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive” (Ephesians 4:14).

James 1:21 exhorts us, “Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.” Lay aside distractions, worldly concerns, unresolved conflicts, and spiritual complacency. Samuel exhorted Israel, “prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only” (1 Samuel 7:3). A prepared heart profits most from God’s Word.

Prepare practically. Arrange your responsibilities early, come punctually, bring your Bible and necessary materials, and plan to participate wholeheartedly in all sessions. Resist the temptation to treat camp casually or selectively (cf. Luke 8:18).

Prepare relationally. Determine to encourage fellow believers, show patience, practise kindness, and seek unity. Church camp is not only about receiving blessings personally, but also about strengthening one another in Christ (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:11-22).

May our church camp be a season of spiritual growth and lasting fruit for His glory.

Pastor’s Report on Visit to Ethiopia

The recent opportunity to visit our mission stations in Ethiopia was altogether a joyous and thanksgiving-filled experience. As announced earlier, Sis. Cheng Han, and Bro. Enosh More from India joined my wife, Carolyn, and me on this journey. While Carolyn and Sis. Cheng Han ministered to the children, I was engaged in teaching the GBI students. Though Bro. Enosh initially joined us as an observer, God graciously used him in a most providential way. As a medical doctor, he provided much-needed medical care and assistance during my debilitating struggles with altitude sickness.

We thank God for His preserving and prospering hand upon the Gethsemane BPC congregations in Addis Ababa and Alem Gena. Our Gospel outreach in Ethiopia began twenty years ago through Pastor Ephrem Chiracho, and it is humbling to witness how the Lord has sustained and enlarged this ministry over the years. Presently, Pastor Ephrem is assisted by four faithful full-time preachers—Engida, Imane, Bayera and Bedada—who labour together in shepherding both congregations and teaching the GBI students.

Currently, ten full-time students are undergoing theological training through GBI. In addition, the children’s ministry continues to be a fruitful Gospel outreach, receiving about one hundred children daily from the surrounding neighbourhood. This ministry has opened many doors for the Gospel, reaching not just children but also their parents and relatives.

We were especially thankful to be part of the 20th Anniversary Thanksgiving of our Ethiopian Gospel Mission, as well as the GBI graduation service. Truly, the Lord has done great things for us; whereof we are glad (Psalm 126:3). All praise and glory be unto our faithful God.

Before baptism is administered, our church carefully instructs baptismal candidates in the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith. This practice of catechetical instruction is rooted in Christ’s Great Commission itself, wherein He commanded the church not only to baptise, but also to “teach all nations” and to instruct disciples “to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20). Thus, baptism must be accompanied by biblical instruction, understanding, and discipleship.

Catechism classes serve this vital purpose. Through systematic teaching of the basic doctrines of Scripture, candidates are grounded in the truths of the Gospel and helped to understand the significance of baptism and church membership. Such instruction guards against shallow profession, doctrinal confusion, and careless participation in the holy ordinances of Christ.

The classes generally cover essential biblical teachings concerning: the existence and attributes of God, the person and work of Christ, the Holy Spirit and His works, the authority, inspiration, infallibility and preservation of Holy Scripture, the sinfulness of man, salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone, repentance and faith, the church and its ordinances, Christian obedience and holy living, doctrine of the last days, etc.

Catechetical instruction is especially important in an age marked by widespread biblical ignorance and doctrinal instability. The church must ensure that those seeking baptism possess a credible understanding of the Christian faith and a sincere desire to follow Christ in obedience.

Furthermore, catechism classes provide opportunities for pastors and elders to know the candidates personally, answer spiritual questions, clarify doctrinal matters, and lovingly guide them towards a faithful church life.

For children born to Christian parents who received infant baptism, such instruction also serves to strengthen and confirm them in the faith and truths of God’s Word that they have been taught from their childhood.

Thus, catechism classes are not mere formalities, but an important pastoral and spiritual preparation for those who desire to receive the covenant sign of baptism and publicly identify themselves with Christ and His church.

Baptizing Them

Authority for Baptism

Baptism is one of the evident and emphatic elements of the Great Commission that Christ has given to His church. With the absolute authority He has over everything “in heaven and in earth”, Christ stipulates that all who respond in faith and obedience to the preaching of the Gospel of Christ and become His disciples, ought to be baptized. For He has declared, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost…” (Matthew 28:18–19). 

By virtue of His shed blood in His death on the cross to redeem His people and His resurrection from the grave, Jesus now wields full authority from the Father to institute baptism as a sign of the new covenant He has made with His redeemed people. With ushering in of the New Testament age, Christ, via the Great Commission, commanded baptism to be administered “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”. 

Obligatory Practice of Baptism

All Christians are required to be baptised. While baptism is neither a means of salvation nor a meritorious rite that grants salvation, it is required of every Christian as an outward sign of repentance and faith in Christ. All who belong to Christ must obey the Lord’s command to be baptized. In fact, evidenced by command and example in the New Testament, this ecclesiastically obligatory practice of baptism (as stipulated in the Great Commission) extends to the baptism of the young children of those whom the apostles would disciple.

In the apostolic period, all those who believed in the Gospel preached by the apostolic team were baptized as they joined the church. We read in Scripture that “they that gladly received his (Peter’s) word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls” (Acts 2:41). Earlier on that historic day of Gospel-preaching in Jerusalem, Peter had exhorted them to “Repent and be baptized … in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and [they] shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost” (Acts 2:38). Undoubtedly, baptism not only signifies the remission of sins (through the atoning work of Christ), it also signifies our glad and personal acceptance of the atonement of Christ accomplished on the cross (cf. v. 41a). 

Covenantal Nature of Baptism

It is instructive to note that Peter further went on to affirm that “the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call” (Acts 2:39). It is thus clear that this new covenantal promise of the Gospel—ratified by its outward sign of baptism—is (as asserted by Peter) offered to believers, including their children. Undeniably, baptism of the believers and their children was practised in the New Testament churches, as evidenced by the household baptisms recorded in Scripture—Cornelius and his family (cf. Acts 10:2, 48), Lydia and her family (cf. Acts 16:15), the Philippi jailor and his family (cf. Acts 16:32–33), Stephanas and his family (cf. 1 Corinthians 1:16). 

Just as circumcision is the covenant sign in the Old Testament, so baptism serves as the covenant sign in the New Testament. Both are symbols of God’s gracious gift of faith and salvation, administered under the two covenants respectively. What is noteworthy is that, like circumcision, baptism is also administered to households of believers, as corroborated by Scriptural evidence. This is a biblical fact not to be overlooked, which is affirmed by the Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF), stating, “Not only those that do actually profess faith in, and obedience unto Christ, but also the infants of one or both believing parents are to be baptized” (WCF, chapter 28, paragraph 4). 

GBI, Alem Gena, Ethiopia

Pastor Ephrem Chiracho

Greetings in the blessed name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also” (2 Timothy 2:1–2).

We are pleased to inform you that 13 trainees will graduate from GBI Ethiopia on 31 May 2026, the day we commemorate the 20th Anniversary of Gethsemane BPC, Ethiopia. God willing, we will have three membership transfers and one infant baptism on the same occasion. 

We praise the LORD for His unfailing love, mercy, goodness and faithfulness in providing for all His works in Ethiopia through the sacrificial giving of Gethsemaneans in Singapore. We praise God for using your wisdom, prayer, labour and support to accomplish the work of the Gospel in Ethiopia, through unworthy and weak vessels who are working in God’s vineyards in this land.

By God’s enabling grace, we have been proclaiming the Reformed biblical truths taught by our spiritual fathers, so that we may commit the same to the next generation (2 Timothy 2:2). God has been our present Help in all the trials of life and ministry thus far. And He has graciously provided for all the needs of the church ministries, including GBI, Ethiopia. We join the psalmist to acknowledge and publish God’s goodness: “Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul… Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me” (Psalm 66:16–20). All glory and praise to the living and true God. 

Pastor, during your recent visit to Ethiopia, we discussed the desire to start a degree programme at GBI in Ethiopia to thoroughly equip former GBI graduates who are in the ministry and to reach more evangelical churches with the sound doctrine of the Reformed faith. By God’s grace, you had promised that you would help us offer the degree programme in cooperation with FEBC… If it be God’s will, we are planning to start the programme at the beginning of October 2026…

Please continue to pray for us, that God may help us hold the fort faithfully and valiantly until Christ our King comes. 

Please convey our heartiest greetings and gratitude to Gethsemane B-P Church’s leaders and the whole congregation.

GBI, Vizag, India

Pastor Sujith Samuel

We thank God for the conclusion of yet another academic year in GBI, India. Two students (Bro. Kynsai and Bro. Khraw from Shillong, Meghalaya) finished their studies and graduated last week. Bro. Khraw is preparing to continue his studies at Far Eastern Bible College in Singapore. He is now working on his application form and supporting documents. Please pray that he can enrol for studies in FEBC in the upcoming semester. 

We are much encouraged by Pastor Koshy’s visit and his ministering of God’s Word at the graduation service held on Wednesday, 6th May 2026. Likewise, we are grateful for the labour of Pastor Koshy and Pr Cornelius in teaching online over the last semester. The subjects offered from Singapore through GBI International cater to our GBI students here in Vizag. We look forward to the teaching of new subjects from both of you next semester. 

One of our teachers, Bro. Seraph, is preparing to move back to his home in Dehradun next month. He is called to serve in the Presbyterian Seminary, Dehradun. After Seraph’s departure this June, Pr Jonathan Hendricks and I will have to labour more to teach in the upcoming semester. Please pray for our preparation of the lectures for the next semester. In addition to the courses we offer, our students will continue to register for some selected online courses offered by FEBC.

Please continue to pray for permission to build our new campus. We had submitted the required documents and are awaiting a response from the city authorities. As for the land, we have already filled it with soil to level it. We also plan to put a fence around the land soon.

We are regularly praying for Gethsemane BPC and mission stations around the world. We are praying especially for Pr Ho Kee How and Rev. Reggor Galarpe. May the Lord strengthen His servants and family in this time of affliction.

All praise and thanks to the Lord for His grace and mercy towards the Gethsemane Seniors’ Ministry. As we commemorate 21 years of God’s abundant goodness, care and faithfulness upon this ministry, our hearts are overwhelmed with joy and gladness. “O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever” (Psalm 107:1).

This year, we rejoice that the Seniors’ Ministry had the privilege to hold a retreat on 29th April 2026. It was a blessed and spiritually enriching gathering, centred on the theme “Walking with God”. A total of 77 seniors and helpers gathered at the National Service Resort & Country Club (NSRCC) bungalow for a day of fellowship, instruction, and encouragement in the Lord.

The morning session was led by Elder Mah Chin Kwang, and all the participants sang together joyfully to praise the Lord. Our speaker, Pastor Prabhudas Koshy, expounded from Scripture on what it truly means to walk with God, drawing on the example of Enoch (Genesis 5:24). He emphasised a life marked by continual trust, communion, obedience and hope in the Lord, reminding us that our earthly life is brief and swiftly passing. The message was not only doctrinally enriching but also pastorally fitting in addressing the unique spiritual needs and challenges faced by seniors. Pr Daniel Lim joyfully interpreted the sermon for the benefit of our Mandarin-speaking brethren.

We thank God for Daniel Svasti, Thomas Tow and Francis Tan, who testified to the goodness of God in their lives in recent years. Pr Daniel and Bro Peng Kwang interpreted the testimonies. One common thread running through their testimonies was the edification and encouragement they received through the fellowship of the Seniors’ Ministry’s weekly meetings.

The retreat also provided an opportunity for non-Christian friends of our church members (who attended the retreat) to hear the Gospel from those assigned to them. The fellowship among the participants during lunch and in the post-lunch activities (e.g. games) was warm, rich with mutual encouragement. Participants were greatly refreshed by the hymn singing, sharing sessions, and times of interaction, which strengthened the bonds of Christian love among the seniors.

For the glory of God, unknown to many, much effort had gone into the smooth execution of the entire retreat. Behind the scenes were lots of hard work and logistical arrangements, as well as extensive planning by brethren who truly laboured with much love. We thank the Lord for His gracious presence throughout the retreat and for helping all who laboured to make it a pleasant and edifying event.

The Seniors’ Ministry covets your prayers, that we may live graciously for the testimony of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him” (Psalm 28:7).

Participants of Campus Ministry’s Gospel Seminar

Held on 1st May 2026

Apart from our own youths, about 35 non-Gethsemane youths also participated. We thank God that one youth turned to the Lord Jesus in repentance and prayer of faith at the end of the meeting. There were also youths from overseas (Malaysia, Philippines and Canada) who joined the meeting online. Let us continue to pray for all who heard the Word which Pastor Koshy expounded from Luke 12:10–21 on the topic, “A Materialistic World: A Distressed Mind”. Let us prayerfully encourage our youths to be excellent witnesses of Christ amongst their peers!

A Note from a Participant:

Hi Titus, it was truly a privilege to be sitting under faithful teaching tonight. This was a very timely reminder for me, especially being in a season of waiting that often accompanies uncertainty. I thank God for revealing my hidden sins of desiring control, and how tonight’s exhortation was a conviction that walking the way of the cross and thus gaining Christ alone is far, far more precious than the lures of this world. May God help us not to waste our lives on this side of heaven.

Calvary Kuching B-P Church (CKBPC) began its ministry in 2007, founded by Rev. Lee Kim Shong (Calvary Jaya BPC, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia) together with Pr Ling Soon Ing, as an outreach to Chinese-speaking students of a local university in Kuching. Regular worship services were initiated to minister to this group.

In 2011, Bro Jeremy Teo left the Methodist Church and joined CKBPC. By 2014, a growing burden arose within the church to reach out to the English-speaking people in Kuching. Rev. Lee and Bro Jeremy prayerfully discussed the need for an English ministry. Around the same time, Rev. Lee shared this burden with Rev. Koshy of Gethsemane BPC, Singapore.

In April 2014, Pastor Koshy visited Kuching, and the possibility of co-labouring with Calvary Jaya BPC to establish and sustain an English-language ministry was discussed. This proposal was later brought before the Session of Gethsemane BPC and approved.

From January 2015, preachers from Gethsemane BPC began making regular monthly visits to Kuching. During these visits (typically Friday to Sunday), they conducted home visitations, Bible studies, and English worship services. Occasionally, extended visits were made to provide further teaching and pastoral care.

In August 2020, the Board of Elders (BOE) of Calvary Jaya requested Gethsemane BPC to take over the ministry of CKBPC. An agreement was signed in December 2020, and from 1 January 2021, CKBPC officially became a mission outreach of Gethsemane BPC, Singapore.

Since then, Gethsemane BPC has provided ongoing spiritual and administrative oversight. Regular mission trips, retreats, and a missionary conference have been organised to strengthen the fellowship and ministry in Kuching.

Please pray that the Lord will raise up a faithful pastor or preacher of His choosing to shepherd and care for His people in Calvary Kuching B-P Church.

The Installation of Deacon Jeremy Teo

Last Lord’s Day (April 26th, 2026) marked a significant milestone in the life and maturity of Calvary Kuching Bible-Presbyterian Church. In a spirit of prayer and thanksgiving, Brother Jeremy Teo was formally installed as a Deacon. This appointment follows a rigorous process of nomination by the Board of Elders (BOE) of Gethsemane Bible-Presbyterian Church (the overseeing mother church) and the unanimous, wholehearted support of the CKBPC congregation during the Annual Congregational Meeting (ACM) held on March 30th at 8.00pm.

The Biblical Role of a Deacon

The office of a deacon is a spiritual calling rooted in the New Testament. Derived from the Greek word diakonos (meaning “servant”), the biblical role is defined by two primary characteristics:

• Practical service: As seen in Acts 6, the first deacons were appointed to handle the temporal affairs of the church (like the distribution of food and care for widows) so that the apostles could remain devoted to prayer and to the ministry of the Word.
• Moral integrity: The qualifications found in 1 Timothy 3:8–13 demand that a deacon be “grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre”, and one who holds the “mystery of the faith in a pure conscience”.

Dn Jeremy Teo’s installation confirms that he has been found to meet these scriptural standards, and is ready to serve as the “hands and feet” of the congregation.

A Significant Step Towards Growth and Maturity: For a small church like CKBPC, installing its own resident deacon is a vital step towards ecclesiastical stability. The importance of this office in a developing congregation cannot be overstated:

• A responsible steward: By co-labouring with Pastor, Elders and preachers of GBPC, Dn Jeremy Teo will assist them in the oversight and feeding of the flock.
• A step towards maturity: Transitioning from being solely overseen by a mother church to having local church officers is a significant step towards setting things in order to mature into an organised, biblical body.
• Congregational care: A deacon ensures that no member is overlooked in times of crisis, besides fostering a culture of mercy and practical love within the church.

The congregation of CKBPC rejoices in God’s provision of the office of diaconate. As Dn Jeremy Teo begins his appointed time of service as a deacon, we pray that he may “purchase to [himself] a good degree, and great boldness in the faith” (1 Timothy 3:13). We look forward to the continued growth of CKBPC, and that God may grant the church spiritual maturity and effective ministries.

Gethsemane Campus Ministry Seminar—May 1st

Dear young people,

In the midst of your studies, responsibilities, and the many pressures of tertiary life, you are constantly surrounded by a world that measures success by possessions, achievements, and outward gains.

A materialistic life, according to the Scriptures, can lead to severe consequences. When possessions and success become our pursuit, we forget that “a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15). Materialism and worldliness, Scripture warns, entangle the soul in restless desires and lead to deep sorrow and spiritual ruin (1 Timothy 6:9–10). Ultimately, what truly matters are eternal realities, not a fleeting fascination with the world and its passing glories; for our Lord solemnly forewarns, “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36).

It is in this context that the Gethsemane Campus Ministry warmly invites you to a timely Gospel Seminar titled: “A Materialistic World, A Distressed Mind”.

This seminar will be held at GMC’s premises (details are provided in the announcement page). This gathering seeks, first and foremost, to encourage participants to refocus on God’s will and promises in Christ amidst the distractions of a materialistic culture. The Lord calls us not merely to succeed in this world, but to walk with Him faithfully.

It is also a precious opportunity to reach out to your non-Christian friends and loved ones. Many around you are burdened, anxious, and searching for meaning in life. This topic speaks directly to their condition and opens the door for them to find the remedy in the life-giving Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We urge you, dear youths, not only to attend, but to prayerfully invite others. A simple invitation may be the means by which God brings someone to salvation.

May the Lord use this seminar to strengthen your faith, clarify your concerns, and draw many souls to Himself. Let us come with expectant hearts, and bring others with us.

Raising Children in Wisdom

A new teaching series on BWTV

A pressing question that has gained renewed urgency among parents of this generation: How do we raise our children in the biblical way? In our day, this question is made more complex by the abundance of voices competing for attention – educational systems, enrichment classes, leadership camps, digital media, cultural trends, and a flood of parenting philosophies.

However, God expects us not to be distracted by those things which deviate from the clear and sufficient guidance He has provided in His Word. The Bible provides timeless authority in all matters of life.

It is with this conviction that we introduce this new series on Bible Witness TV (BWTV): “Raising Children in Wisdom”, drawn from the opening chapters of the Book of Proverbs (Proverbs 1–8). These chapters present a father’s earnest, repeated appeal to his son, which is pastoral, theological, and practical. Here, wisdom is not merely taught; it is pleaded for, urged upon the heart, and set forth as the pathway for our children’s nurture in our families.

The foundation of this series is laid in the well-known declaration: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:7).

True parenting, according to Scripture, begins not with methods, but with the fear of the LORD. Without this foundation, all instruction lacks its proper direction and power. Wisdom in the biblical sense is not merely intellectual ability or practical skill; it is a God-centred nurture of life that results from knowing Him, reverencing Him, and walking in His ways.

Throughout Proverbs 1–8, we see the heart of godly parenting. Parents are called to instruct diligently, to warn faithfully, to guide lovingly, and to model consistently. The repeated phrase, “My son”, reminds us that parenting is relational, intentional, and personal. It is not outsourced or incidental, but a sacred stewardship entrusted by God.

These chapters also confront us with the realities our children face. There are voices that entice (Proverbs 1:10), paths that lead to destruction (Proverbs 2:12–15), and influences that seek to draw the young away from the truth (Proverbs 5–7). In contrast, wisdom calls openly, offering life, safety, and blessing to those who heed her voice (Proverbs 1:20–23).

In this series, we will explore key themes such as:

• The foundation of the fear of the LORD
• Guarding children from sinful influences
• Teaching the pursuit of godly wisdom as the greatest treasure
• Cultivating discernment in a deceptive world
• Training children to trust in the LORD with all their hearts

Our aim is not merely to inform, but to equip and encourage parents and all who have a role in shaping young lives. We desire to bring Scripture to bear upon the practical challenges of raising children in today’s world, while remaining firmly anchored in biblical truth.

This series is also a call to self-examination. Before we teach wisdom, we must walk in it. Before we guide our children, we must ourselves be guided by the Word of God. As parents, we are not merely instructors, but examples.

Above all, we are reminded that true wisdom ultimately points us to Christ, “In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3). Our greatest responsibility is not simply to raise well-behaved children, but to lead them to know, love, and follow the Lord.

We invite you to join us on BWTV for this important and timely series. May the Lord use His Word to strengthen families, and raise a generation grounded in His wisdom for His glory.
