Prayer Request
Officials from the Ministry of National Development had responded to the church last Monday and had scheduled a meeting with church leaders last Wednesday to understand the church's request! After a discussion with the officials, it was understood that there is a possibility for us to apply for the re-zoning of #70 to religious use. However, the application must be supported and approved by other relevant government departments (such as the Land Transport Authority, etc.) and our church neighbours! Please continue to keep this in your prayers!
Congregation prayer concerns：Sister Tiong Siew Choo was hospitalized last week after a fall at her home. She was discharged from the hospital last Wednesday and is recuperating at home. Please pray for the recovery of her left hand, which was injured in the fall!
Let us continue to keep Brother Wong Teh Kok, Brother Tan Keng Khim and Sister Koh Wee Ching in prayer!
