Pastor Thomas message to the congregation

Greetings in the precious and mighty Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Hudson Taylor, the famous missionary and founder of the China Inland Mission (now known as the Overseas Missionary Fellowship) once said, “In God’s work, there are three stages: First, it’s impossible. Then, it becomes difficult. And then, it gets done.”

In seeking to discern the Lord’s sovereign will and purpose for FBBC, especially given all the ups and downs, the joys and pains, the fears and hopes in the past few years as well as the many concerns and challenges that lie ahead of us in this unprecedented season of pandemic, war and global crises, I’m sure we all have our questions and doubts. After all, we’re all human, fragile and vulnerable. Moreover, there is no absolute guarantee of success and no infinite promise of ease and satisfaction. That is, at least on this side of eternity.

But this is where I urge every one of us to look up to the sustaining grace of our Almighty God and Creator of heaven and earth and trust in His enabling power, strength and wisdom for us, individually and collectively. This is what we have seen and will continue to see in and throughout the pages of Scriptures and in the long history of God’s covenantal
people in Israel and the Church.

Like Hudson Taylor, may the Lord find us faithful and fruitful as we embark on a new journey of ministry together for the glory of our Heavenly King and the community He wants us to serve.
