A Heart for Mission
(The role of a Filipino Ministry in Singapore: A primer on the proposed Filipino Church) Why a separate Filipino Church? Why go for separate worship services when the church facilities for worship in Balesteir Road Church are first-rate, adequate, and convenient enough? Why exchange the steamship of suitable worship at Balestier for a rickety boat of a full Filipino-congregational service? Are these not questions that are bereft of the real mission of the church? Is convenient church worship from Sabbath to Sabbath the be-all and end-all of an Adventist Christian? The Filipino Ministry, as the Balestier Road Church, has not been established in ...
Beyond time and fellowship
Time is gold, so goes an old adage. But this has not been the case to many. Complacency as regards time becomes a daily misgiving. This is also true to man’s outlook on the value of fellowship.

For in fellowshipping it allows us to understand each other’s behavior and welcomes individual differences.

It explained the the purity of Jesus' love to human as he sacrificed His body and blood to save sinners vis-a-vis the love we share to our partners here on earth. Later after lunch, what could have been ...

Christmas celebration—a mix of cries and laughter!
A day to reminisce joys, fun and cries! A day memorable for the Filipino Ministry (FM) of Balestier Adventist Church as they come for a year-end celebration! December 27 was indeed superimposing in each FM member’s mind when the group flashbacked their 2008 memories—one of which was the year’s retreat that was dominated by the theme, “Maligamgan ka ba?” (Are you lukewarm?)

After they were baptized on December 6 by ...
