“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16, NIV) Some call it mission statement; others call it vision statement. There is much confusion in the leadership and management circle about the exact definition of these terms. But you get the point. There is an increasing emphasis on the importance of providing a clear direction for the church through the writing of a mission statement. It gives the church a sense of purpose and direction, and converges the energy of the congregation towards commonly-held values and a vision for the church to move forward. It can be a powerful tool! You can catch a glimpse of the different mission statements of the churches and Christian organizations on their websites and brochures. Many mission statements are impressive and eye-catching: not only do they parallel, in some cases, they even rhyme! But unfortunately, the missing ingredient is the will to carry it out! Many ended up more like a slogan than a mission statement! Someone said that “vision without action is only good intention.” I think he has a point. When you only do a window dressing on the good intention, it is merely a slogan. When mission statements are copied or revised from others instead of your personal conviction, there is very little incentive to pay the price to make it happen. They are best reserved for posting on the bulletin board to impress the visitors.

When God demonstrated to the world His love, He did not send a statement or slogan; He sent his Son:
about the actions needed to facilitate change. I think what is lacking in many mission statements is that we do not want it bad enough. We take them merely as mission suggestions or something nice to have. There is no overwhelming sense of calling or mandate from God about the things we penned in our mission statement. Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell says in his autobiography that one of his lessons of life is “It can be done!” You can do practically anything if you want it bad enough. Wanting it bad enough will force you to focus on the primary issue and ignore the secondary ones, channeling your resources and energy to make things happen.
“He gave…” God leaves no doubt in our mind that He meant what He said. His proclamation is backed by His unwavering commitment to carry out the redemption of mankind by sending His Son Jesus Christ to come into the world, to live among us, to die on the cross for our sins, and to rise again on the third day. What He claimed is more than a slogan; it is love in action. You see, action speaks louder. Always! When a dream is put into actions and is accomplished successfully, it gives credibility to the leader and quiets the nay-sayers. It energizes the followers to anticipate with confidence the next step. It raises the morale of the organization. People begin to believe in their God-given potentials. More things could be achieved when people begin to believe! Christmas is the time of the year when we see God’s love in action. May this love inspire us to move beyond mere slogan, but towards actions to carry out our mission for God. Merry Christmas to you all !

“For God so loved the world that…” This is how the Gospel story began. The love of God was so compelling that He acted upon it. God loves us so much that He has to do something about it. God cares enough to make it possible for us to be reconciled with Him through His Son Jesus Christ. The passion that comes with the love brings

The church’s response to an aging society Introduction In 1990 an article entitled “the Graying of America” caught my attention. The writer affirmed the explosion of senior population by 2030. I asked myself then, “How is the church preparing for this?” The next year, the General Assembly of the United Nations designated October 1st as International Day of Older Persons. In the last decade we’ve been bombarded with many articles to help us confront this inevitable issue. No one likes to grow “old” but we must face the fact that we are growing “older.” The Prime Minister’s 2007 National Rally speech focused on the issues of an aging population. Discussions have been forthcoming about how to care for that growing segment of the Singapore society. Today our dependency ratio is 6 younger persons to 1 senior (60 and above). By 2030 the ratio will drop to 2:2 to 1. Come 2050 Singapore will have the 4th oldest population in the world. The date seems far off, but the government, being foresighted, wants to be prepared. How is the church preparing for an aging society? My concern remains after I first saw that article, “How is the church preparing for this?” This question has been contemplated in the Christian Education classes of Singapore Bible College, both in the day and evening sessions. Some churches have organised Senior Fellowships or Cell Groups. Others have added fulltime or part time staff to oversee the needs of aging members. Some have formed visitation groups to minister to the lonely, including those in nursing homes. Others promote and provide health and wellness activities. In some churches, the elderly have been assured they are needed for consultation in various ministries in which they have had experience. Recent firsthand observation with several North American churches has shown another side of the church’s response to an aging society. Many current seniors, who were once the backbone of the church, both in leadership and financial giving, have been set aside in favour of younger leadership. Those seniors, though having much to contribute, find themselves obsolete. Some long term, faithful members have been told bluntly and unkindly that they are no longer needed in the church. Others are merely given a “corner” to carry on some form of fellowship and worship with which they are comfortable. It’s not a matter of just having a corner for seniors. It’s about how they are treated and the example that is being set for the next generation to care for and respect the elderly according to I Timothy 5: 1, 2b and Titus 2:2a, 3-4. Yes, the church of tomorrow must confront the paradigm shifts from the church of yesterday. What programmes are called and how they are applied are different. Methodology has changed. We, as well as the seniors themselves, agree that change is inevitable, and the leadership baton must be passed to the next generation. But there are things that cannot change, especially the fundamentals of the faith. All people, young and old, have a need to know the Saviour and to be taught the Word for growth. There must never be ignored. The elderly are also loved by God. Christ died for them. We must minister to them. Jesus said, “Shepherd my sheep. Tend my lambs.” His call is for us to care for and minister to people of ALL ages and stages, including our seniors. What must be the church’s response to an aging society? In the first place, we as a church must not stereotype seniors. The A.A.R.P. (American Association of Retired Persons) defines seniors as people over 50, unlike what cartoonists portray as toothless, non-cohesive conversationalists on rocking chairs. Our government, recognising the quality of life of seniors today, wants its people to keep working, even after 65 years. Thus, many seniors are still contributing members of society. In my teenage years, I worked with an elder statesman. One day, news came that he was dying. Together with my friends, we visited, intending to cheer and encourage him thinking that he would be “down.” Instead, we were the ones encouraged. Seniors, including those near death, are not necessarily pathetic. Those who know the Saviour intimately have been waiting to meet Him face-to-face, and the thought of death is not one of fear, but rather hope. Seniors have much to offer and teach us younger people. Treat seniors as individuals. Many have much to contribute in counsel and ideas, even if their energy level is more diminished.
Dr Koh Siang Kiang
Secondly, let us keep in mind that there are two types of seniors. There are the participative, hands-on ones who in many ways cannot be idle. Yet, there are also those more passive observers and thinkers. Whichever category they may be in, our challenge is to ensure that we do not leave any seniors out of ministry. How are we preparing to keep our seniors actively involved and wanted in ministry? We must ask ourselves: What are we doing to prepare our people to be seniors? How is our younger generation prepared and taught to care for and show respect for the seniors? How are our people prepared to grow old gracefully in the Lord? Two aspects of Senior Ministry On the one hand, we minister to seniors. And on the other hand, there is ministry by seniors. In both instances we must care for the total person, namely the physiological, emotional, psychological and spiritual. While secular agencies may be able to provide the former three, only the church can provide the spiritual. Despite this fact, we recognise that our whole being is so intricately knitted that even in reaching them spiritually we must not ignore the other areas of need. In many instances, the other needs can be the “gateway” to reaching people spiritually. It is crucial that in the process of educating and equipping, we ensure that our seniors know how to care for themselves. Furthermore, they must be reassured that we will help them when there’s a critical need. Total care involves both teaching and “soiling our hands” to meet practical needs. We can use physical exercises, outings and even table games, not only to keep them occupied but to teach spiritual principles. While generally older adults are the recipients of care-giving and hope, we must not forget that some older adults may be the care-givers and bearers of hope. Older adults can empathise with other older adults, having themselves lived out God’s love and forgiveness in their lives and can thus grant the care others need. So we must encourage ministry by seniors. Here are a few suggestions to stimulate our thinking as we plan to minister to or involve seniors: Different people contribute in different ways. There is no work too insignificant. We at Singapore Bible College are extremely thankful for a group of senior volunteers who come bi-monthly to help fold and stuff envelopes for this newsletter. One of the concerns of many older adults is diminishing finances. Helping them to see that God can provide is important. However, there is a need to teach principles of financial planning, writing of wills, prompt payment of bills and all aspects of stewardship. Some of the best teachers are other seniors who have been trained in this discipline. In all our desire to help seniors, we must believe that the gospel message ultimately is what comforts, sustains and brings hope to people. The sure hope lies in their hearing and believing God’s Word. In our society, where programmes for the young and the old are so dichotomised, we need to deliberately plan activities to allow these to come together. Well-planned inter-generational opportunities would bring the different ages, including children, together. Instead of the usual pattern of children and youth visiting nursing homes and “performing” for shut-ins, our children and youth may meet with our seniors to play, hear life stories, and enjoy refreshment together. Visitation, an important but less emphasised ministry, allows our seniors occasion to encourage individuals and families, and vice-versa. While providing for the physiological need of food, we can overlook the spiritual need of some seniors who are “shut-ins.” We might conduct the occasional service of Holy Communion in the home. Seniors are or can be people who care. They need the ministry of a loving, warm and caring church; but they can also be the providers of such love, warmth and care. Mission trips or Short term missions. These are usually seen as involvement for young to middle adults. However, some seniors with time, financial flexibility and energy can offer this meaningful service. Besides their involvement in ministry itself, they can be a great support to missionary families by being substitute grandparents to missionary children whose own grandparents are not able to be with them. Conclusion Ideas abound. But these must be tested against the goals and objectives you have set. Get started with your response as we face the inevitable. Whatever you do, remember that the main responsibility of the church to the aging population, as to all age groups, is spiritual. All the other aspects are important but must contribute to or flow from their spiritual growth.

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” (Isaiah 52:7) The theme of the Students Missions Fellowship (SMF) at SBC this year was “Beautiful Feet,” the “beautiful feet” of those who bring the good news of the Gospel to the lost. On 1 October 2007, more than 300 pairs of “beautiful feet” came back to SBC on Homecoming Day. These are our alumni who were able to come back for a time of reunion. These alumni serve as pastors, ministry staff, counselors, as well as missionaries abroad. It was a happy time. The faculty hosted the alumni to breakfast. The alumni walked down memory lane in the worship service, and were refreshed by the Word of God. Dr Tim Laniak talked on “Leadership Formation in the Crucible of Crisis” from the book of Esther. There was also a big surprise in store as we celebrated the 60th birthday of Dr Michael Shen, our former Principal. It was a very moving moment as the community of SBC showed our love to the man who has served SBC faithfully for 29 years.
We thank God for the generous donation of S$200,000 by our Principal Emeritus, Rev Dr Maak Hay Chun, and his wife for the establishment of the “Maak Hay Chun Lectures.” The purposes of this lectureship are as follow: a. To promote evangelism and missions. b. To encourage the youth to consider fulltime ministry. c. To provide leadership training for churches.
Thank You

Improvement Projects We have carried out several projects to improve our infrastructure and services, including the following: Anti-Slip Treatment: Anti-slip treatment has been applied to the slippery floor tiles on the third storey and staircases of Block 1. Installation of an LCD TV: We have installed a 42-inch Philips LCD TV in one classroom of the School of Church Music for conducting lessons involving the use of multimedia. Upgrading of Photocopiers: In December 2007 we will replace our aging photocopiers with a new fleet of photocopiers that come with software that will significantly enhance our efficiency. SBC has produced more than 2000 pairs of “beautiful feet” over the past 55 years. This is only possible because of your faithful support through prayer and sacrificial giving. These “beautiful feet” walk in obedience to God’s call and direction. They are shepherds of God’s flock in different parts of the world. Some are crossing rivers and mountains in East Asia to bring the good news to the people in remote places. Others are showing Christ’s love in the slums of developing countries in Asia and Africa. Some are reaching out to foreign students and foreign workers in Europe and America. Some are theological educators; and there are some who work amongst AIDS patients and orphans. There are so many beautiful testimonies. Indeed, we have make a difference in the world as we share the passion of Christ as we respond to the words of apostle Paul: How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” (Romans 10:14-15) May the Lord of the harvest bless the work of all our hands for His glory.
On behalf of SBC, I would like to wish you a blessed Christmas and a happy 2008 ! Ian Chng Director of Development

SeminarReport
Emerging Church Seminar by Prof D.A. Carson (26 October 2007) In addition to the Expository Preaching Conference and Evening Expositions, Prof. Carson also addressed the topic of the Emerging Church. The “emerging church” or the “emerging movement” has generated much attention both in Christian and non-Christian circles in recent years. While recognizing the sociocultural dimension behind phenomena, the analysis focused primarily on epistemological shifts corresponding with the movement from modernity to postmodernity. Prof. Carson helped sketch what the movement is about, shared some positive contributions of the movement and finally provided a rigorous critique of its foundations, practices, and expressions.
CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP @ THE CROSSROADS Shepherds After My Own Heart: Biblical Leadership for the 21st Century (28 – 29 September 2007) “Wise, warm speaker with compassionate firmness. Deeply spiritual and scholarly perspective.” “Personally blessed by insights of what a shepherd is.” “Wonderful imagery! Thank you for enlightening us urbanites!” “Good seminar, the lessons learned were insightful and communicated clearly.” These were some of the comments given at our recent “Shepherds After My Own Heart: Biblical Leadership for the 21st Century” conference held on 28-29 September. It was jointly organised by Singapore Bible College and the Brethren Networking Fellowship which saw some 400 people attending. The main speaker was Dr Tim Laniak, Professor of Old Testament and Coordinator of the Urban Ministry Program at Gordon-Cornwell Theological Seminary. He also serves as the lead mentor for the Christian Leadership track in the Doctor of Ministry Program and is the author of several books including Shepherds After My Own Heart (IVP, 2006). Workshop speakers included Drs David Wong, Jeanette Hui, Danny Goh and Mr Joseph John who spoke on several pertinent issues in leadership including stress and burnout, leadership transitions and closures, and traps and temptations leaders face. They were well-received. Overall, we had a good time of spiritual refreshment and encouragement as well as the equipping of leaders for effective service. We hope to continue serving leaders and pastors for these purposes.
Expository Preaching Conference and Evening Expositions by Prof. D. A. Carson (26-27 October 2007) Excellent expository preaching has always been a goal of SBC training. On 26-27 October 2007, Singapore Bible College was privileged to have Professor D. A. Carson, research professor in New Testament studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, deliver a series of lectures which were enlightening and inspiring. Prof. Carson dealt with the place and role of Scripture and the Gospel in the life of the Christian faith community, making sure to explain the place of Scripture’s authority, clarity and sufficiency as the basis for the ministry of preaching. He went on to explain to the participants what expository preaching is and the different forms it can take. Moving from there, he preached from the Book of Nehemiah, modeling for participants inspiring expository preaching and teasing out the principles involved in preparation and delivery. Prof. Carson then described the elements of biblical narrative and helped participants to appreciate the inner workings of this literary genre using examples from Nehemiah and elsewhere in the biblical canon. Finally, he showed those who were present how this knowledge shaped the contours of the expository sermon and shared practical tips on planning expository preaching sermon series by which the whole counsel of God can be presented to our congregations. The Conference and Evening Expositions were jointly organized by Project Timothy and Singapore Bible College and attended by over 800 participants.
The Emerging Church Seminar was organized by the Ichthus Research Centre and was attended by over 300 participants. The MP3 recording of the talk is available at $5. Enquiries at icthus@sbc.edu.sg or 6559 1532.

Church Music Festival 2008 Music and worship of the Asian churches have always been strongly influenced by the west. It began when the western missionaries introduced the gospel to Asia and brought with them western musical styles and worship forms. More than a century has passed since that era, and yet Asian churches’ reliance on the west for music and worship materials continues: Hosanna Integrity, Hillsongs, Praise and Worship Movement, Traditional Worship, Classical Music, Hymns. The list goes on…
THE HE
Speakers Dr Philip Chan is Associate Professor of Church Music at the Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary. He also authored and translated several books on church music worship, including ‘Worship and Music (Theory & Practice)’ & ‘Seeking Perfection (Choral Rehearsal Skills & Techniques)’ He will address various Worship topics in the Festival’s plenary sessions and seminar, including Worship Renewal, Issues and Directions, and Contemporary Worship. He will also introduce worship resources for Chinese churches.
How should Asian Christians respond to the strong western influence within our churches’ worship and musical forms and styles? Church Music Festival 2008 addresses this question. The theme for this year’s festival is “The Asian Perspective: Music and Worship for the 21st -Century Asian Churches.” Speakers invited include an An Asian worship author and church musician, a Southeast Asian choral conductor, and an ethnomusicologist serving in Asia.
Dr. Joel Navarro teaches conducting and directs several choral groups in Calvin College (Michigan). He was conducting professor and Chair of the Choral Conducting Department at the University of the Philippines for 16 years. Under his direction, the Ateneo de Manila University Glee Club has amassed several top prizes in choral competitions internationally.
What can we expect from the Festival: • Plenary sessions and seminars on the Asian perspective of music and worship • Hands-on experiences in worship planning and leading, worship song writing, and conducting • Worship and music resources • Worship services with Asian flavor • Concert performance of Vivaldi and Handel’s “Dixit Dominus” by the SBC Chorale and Festival Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Lee Chong Min
He will discuss Music in Worship from the Asian church musician’s perspective. His seminars will deal with choral conducting techniques and working with Asian choral works. He will also introduce choral works and congregational songs. Mr. Glenn Stallsmith is an ethnomusicologist with the Wycliffe Bible Translators/Summer Institute of Linguistics. Since 2001, he has worked with minority language groups in the Philippines in developing their heart music and worship.

Purpose-driven. Significance. Eternity. Words rich with meaning but brandished so casually. We all have a God-given desire that, on this side of heaven, our lives can impact the other side of heaven. We want to bequeath a legacy: one that extends beyond me, myself and I; one that extends beyond our lifetime; one that pleases God and is approved by man (Romans 14:18). Yet how does one leave behind such a legacy? First, you have to act in the land of the living. Just as eternal life does not commence when we die, we need to begin planning and investing in our legacy now. Second, you have to seek God’s will and, more importantly, His kingdom. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:21). As we invest our treasure that builds God’s kingdom, we know our hearts will be beating with the things that are on His heart. Third, you have to be committed to grow your legacy. This requires eyes of faith as the full impact of a legacy extends beyond one’s lifetime. However, we have a role and responsibility to actively partner the beneficiaries of our legacy. This goes beyond dollars and cents. We need to pray and care for them. SBC’s Legacy Fund fulfills all these criteria. SBC’s mission is to glorify God by training faithful servants of Jesus Christ. As an international organization, the beneficiaries of SBC’s Legacy Fund come from 25 nations and serve in 40 nations. For the past 55 years, SBC is privileged to train and equip over 2,000 faithful men and women for the edification of the church and the urgent evangelization of the unreached. As an inter-denominational Bible college, we endeavour to provide holistic training to meet the needs of the present-day church amidst the challenges of a globalised world. By learning from each other, our students can gain a deeper and broader appreciation of our Christian heritage and contemporary practice. Different strokes for different people. Thus, SBC is not a cookie-cutter but encourages students to be creative thinkers. Today, the world is besotted with inter-faith dialogues and religious tolerance. While the world proclaims all roads lead to Rome, SBC maintains Jesus is the only way to God (John 14:6). The world preaches cheap grace and infinite chances; SBC declares a gracious and just God who demands judgment (Hebrews 9:27). SBC is passionate and committed to train God’s servants to be effective and faithful communicators of the whole gospel of Christ. Anything less will not meet the world’s needs. Anything less will not leave an eternal difference and impact. Most importantly, anything less is not befitting of a legacy we bequeath for His glory and pleasure. Purpose-driven. Significance. Eternal. Words which aptly describe SBC’s legacy that seeks to invest in people who make a difference. Participate in SBC’s Legacy Fund so that your bequest today will have an impact on the eternal tomorrow.

I’ve been asked, “Why did you include SBC in your will?� The response that comes to mind is, “Why not?� I’ve spent a year doing a graduate diploma at SBC, stressed to the limit by assignment deadlines, but also blessed many times over by the godly teaching and example of my teachers and fellow students. The classes I attended were never about the dry transmittal of information, but about building a living relationship with my Lord and Saviour. Although I have so much more to learn, the lessons of the past year have enabled me to know and love my Lord better and also equipped me well to serve him in a creative access nation in East Asia. How did I come to study at SBC in the first place? I believe it was completely by God’s leading as I literally did no research in making this important decision. I simply followed the example of the many brothers- and sisters-in-Christ serving with OMF, my sending agency. They spoke so highly and fondly of their time in SBC that I didn’t even consider other institutions.

Although I do not have a large legacy, I felt led to will a portion of it to SBC as a very small contribution to the work it does so others may be blessed in the same way I have been. After I leave this earth to join my Lord in glory, what better way to continue obeying his Great Commission than to partner SBC in training his faithful servants “for the edification of the church and the urgent evangelisation of the unreached?� One of the things I will miss most of my short year at SBC is the combined chapel service on Thursday. Often as the Chinese and English schools worshipped God together, I’ve thought that this is just a small but glorious foretaste of what it’ll be like in heaven as the peoples of the world glorify and worship the Lamb before his throne. Even if my small legacy enables one other student to experience this for one day, I believe it will be well worth the privilege.
