T

he Bible Society of
Singapore (BSS) has
always strived to be
an effective mission
agency, and on 3 August
2018, in conjunction with our 181st
anniversary, we gave thanks to
God for His guidance by hosting a
Mission Banquet at The Fullerton
Hotel Singapore. This was made
possible with the sponsorship of
Far East Organization, one of our
esteemed partners that has given
generously towards various Bible
Mission initiatives.

In attendance were Guest of

Honour, Mr Tan Chuan-Jin, Speaker
of Parliament; special guest Her
Excellency Simona Halperin, the
Ambassador of Israel to Singapore;
leaders of United Bible Societies
(UBS); General Secretaries from
different Bible Societies around the
world; Sower Awards recipients;
and newly appointed BSS
Honorary Ambassadors. It was an
evening packed with celebration,
thanksgiving, and mission sharing
from various Bible Societies. To be
able to share in the camaraderie
forged by Christians from all
walks of life is a testament to the
far-reaching impact of the Bible
Mission that God has so graciously
blessed.

The Mission Banquet was a good

opportunity to showcase the
collective labour in the mission
field by Bible Societies around the
region, as well as to highlight the
plights of communities affected
by life's many perils, from natural
disasters to ethnic violence. In one
such instance, Rev Tej Jirel, General
Secretary of the Nepal Bible Society,
shared about how Nepal is still
struggling to recover from the 2015
earthquake, and how many of those
affected by the disaster continue to
live in makeshift homes today.

Rev. Ezekiel Tan, General Secretary

of BSS, also used this

EGYPT 埃及 MYANMAR 缅甸

With high inflation rates since the 2016
economic crisis, a Bible now costs twice as
much as it used to. Please pray that Christians
remain eager to own God’s Word despite
these circumstances. Pray also that God will
provide the necessary resources to the Bible
Society of Egypt to organise more outreach
programmes for their youth.
自2016年经济危机以来，由于通货膨胀率居高
不下，圣经的售价比以前翻了一倍。请为埃及的基
督徒祷告，愿他们在这样的境况下仍能渴望拥有上帝
的话语。请为埃及圣经公会祷告，祈求上帝供应他们
必要的资源，为青少年组织更多的外展活动。

Although Christianity has multiplied in the
past three decades, many in Myanmar still do
not own a Bible in their own language. Please
pray for the ongoing translation projects,
literacy programmes and Bible distribution
efforts— that God will use them to transform
the lives of the various communities there.
虽然基督教在过去三十年里成倍增长，但许
多缅甸基督徒仍然没有自己语言的圣经。请为正
在进行的翻译项目、识字班课程和圣经分发活动祷
告，祈求上帝使用这些事工来改变那里不同社群的
生命。
