Dearly beloved GPC, having celebrated our church's 145th anniversary this past Sunday, let's continue to thank God for His goodness and faithfulness towards us, as we also approach our nation's 61st birthday.

Let's take time today to lift up our nation and the Singapore church before God. Here are some suggested prayer points you can use:

// For Singapore and its leaders
- Give thanks for the stability and progress that God has blessed Singapore with over the years since her independence.
* Pray for God to continue raising up God-fearing leaders who will serve the needs of the people with compassion and integrity, and for continued wisdom to govern the nation amidst increasing global challenges.
* Pray for our society to be one that grows in compassion for those in need and less fortunate, seeking the common good rather than only pursuing gain for one's own interests.
* Pray that religious freedom and harmony will continue to be upheld by the government and respectfully practised amongst the people.

//For the Singapore Church
* Give thanks for the work of mission schools and campus ministries in evangelism and discipleship, and for the privilege to participate in God's mission in raising and sending missionaries out into the global mission field.
* Pray that the Church will be salt and light in the world, being effective witnesses for Jesus through transformed living rather than conformity to the surrounding culture.
* Pray that Christ's sacrificial love will be seen through the Church's sacrificial service to those in need amongst her and in the society, and that love and unity among churches will reveal Christ as our Lord.
* Pray against materialism, performance and legalism from seeping into the Church, and that grace, truth and love for Christ would not only be preached but be exemplified in the lives of believers and in their homes.
* Pray for the Holy Spirit to empower the Church's outreach to unbelievers and those who have not heard the gospel, as well as continued zeal for missions. Pray that individual believers would courageously share the gospel with their non-believing family, friends, co-workers etc.

Thank you for praying for Singapore. React with a ❤️ when you've prayed!

Dear GPC family,

This Sunday is both the Lord's Day and Singapore's National Day. As we gather to worship our sovereign God, let's also give thanks for His faithfulness to our nation.

If you're able, we invite you to wear red and/or white as a simple way of celebrating Singapore's 61st birthday together as a church family.

We look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday! 🇸🇬🙏

Dearly beloved GPC family, as we began our Missions Month sermon series on Sunday, we were reminded that faithfulness in missions is about seeing ourselves as part of the body of Christ, actively participating in God's mission together, and persevering in it with the confident hope that God is working in His church and will complete this work at the day of Jesus Christ.

Let's take time today to commit unto God the missions ministry that He has given us the privilege to participate in as a church, praying that He will grant us faithfulness and diligence to the great commission of making disciples of all nations. Here are some prayer pointers you can use:

// For partnership in the gospel
•⁠ Pray that each worshiper in the church, young or old, will see themselves as part of the body of Christ and seek to actively participate in the work of missions. That they will discern and obey the part they are called by God to play in various seasons of their life (e.g. praying, giving, going, discipling, sending, supporting).
•⁠ Pray that God will continue to sustain our short term mission trips to Cambodia, Thailand, Mongolia, Taiwan, Batam and Japan, as well as the relationships with mission partners (mission organisation/churches) there.
•⁠ Pray for these mission partners in the various countries to remain steadfast and committed to God's work, persevering in Christ amidst the challenges they might face.

// For GPC's homegrown missionaries
•⁠ Pray for God to continue to work in the lives of members exploring long term deployment in the mission field.
•⁠ Pray for God to protect, encourage and sustain our homegrown missionaries _(Michelle, Matthew and Rus)_.
•⁠ Pray for GPC leaders and members to discern and obey God's leading to support and encourage our missionaries in effective and meaningful ways.
•⁠ Pray that as some of them preach in August, that God would open the hearts of the congregation to deepen the church's understanding of missions and God's heart.
•⁠ Pray for effective and intentional discipleship in the church family, such that more homegrown missionaries would be raised and sent by GPC.

// For GPC's mission board
(Edr Ronald Lim, Edr Koh Seow Kin, Edr Tay Boon Tee, Edr Chan Hong Kiat, Dn Nicholas Ang, Jeremy Chew, Joe Chiam)
•⁠ Pray for guidance for the mission board members as they discharge our duties.
•⁠ Pray for God's protection over their families so that they can serve without distraction.
•⁠ Pray for dependence on God's wisdom and not their own as they make decisions in the board.

Thank you for lifting up our church in prayer today! May God grant us strength and grace to continue growing and being on mission with Him as His church!

AUGUST IS MISSION MONTH.

August is a time to remember that God's heart is for every tribe, tongue, and nation.

We invite you to wear something that reflects your ethnic heritage or a culture close to your heart every Sunday of August. It could be a traditional garment, a scarf, a piece of jewellery, or even a simple accessory. Why?
Because one day, around the throne, people from every nation will worship the Lamb together (Rev 7:9).

When we celebrate our diversity in Christ, we catch a glimpse of that glorious future and we remind one another that the Gospel is for all peoples.

Rev Dr Forest Koh, Senior Pastor

WEAR TO REMEMBER THE UNREACHED

August is Mission month!

We invite you to wear something cultural to worship. By putting on attire that reflects the nations, we remind ourselves of the many peoples who have yet to hear the Good News. Each garment becomes a prayer, each color a reminder, each thread a call to mission.

Let us dress with purpose, remembering the Unreached, and stand together as a church family united in Christ’s mission.

Rev Dr Forest Koh, Senior Pastor

From GPC, God has raised up missionaries to carry His name to the nations. Now they return — and we're called to meet them not as spectators, but as fellow laborers in the harvest. Every part has its role — the sending, the going, the praying — and it is God who makes it grow. "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth." (1 Cor. 3:6–7)

Join us for a Prayer Meeting with our home grown missionaries — come listen, pray, and take up your part in what God is doing through GPC.

* Meet Lawrence & Susan (OM) and Rus (Japan) on 29 August (Saturday) 2-4pm #01-07
