GS Letter Five FES Communities to Pray for in 2023 This new year of 2023 began very differently from 2022 for FES and the CFs. This has largely to do with the campuses and borders re-opening and travelling......

We are an interdenominational Christian organisation serving among tertiary-level students and graduates in Singapore.
Formed in 1959, the pioneering emphasis of FES was to develop a strong evangelical witness in every institution of higher learning in Singapore. FES also coordinates the work of the Christian Fellowships (CFs) on various campuses, facilitates interaction between student leaders from the various groups and enables them to exchange ideas and encourage one another effectively.
The long-term vision was, and still is, “to encourage and promote the development of indigenous leadership and responsibility…. to make (a vital contribution) to the Church…. to see forthcoming able Bible scholars and teachers, Christian writers, preachers, missionaries and other Christian workers” (from the first FES Annual Report. 1960).
Encapsulating the ethos that has guided FES since its formation, our vision is:
To see a community of Christlike leaders who are salt and light on campus, in the church, and in society for the glory of God.

National迈向合一的学生事工
新加坡学生事工的起源可以追溯到1895年发起的基督徒学生运动（Student Christian Movement）【注一】。这个运动在1933年从英国到新加坡时仍然有强烈的福音派信仰，而且注重宣教；可惜后来却受到新派教义的影响，逐渐偏离了基督信仰。当这些新派教义进入了校园时，基督徒学生不得不另外组织团契，在1952年成立了大专基督徒团契（Varsity Christian Fellowship）。 1956年在南洋大学的基督徒学生也在10月21日开始了第一次的聚会，并在第二年成立南大基督徒团契。基督徒学生福音团契（Fellowship of Evangelical Students简称FES）在1959年7月注册成立时，已经有好一些福音派的大专学生团契在各校园兴起。第一届FES荣誉文书（Honorary Secretary）Mr. Winston Yap 在常年报告述志： “我们竭力保持一个明确的福音派见证。我们的福音信仰是一个拯救和积极的信仰。我们受惠于前人，因为他们坚持福音信仰，为真理奋勇作战，而我们也被委托负起维护这宝贵信仰的神圣责任。愿我们忠心到底。” 在新加坡的FES学生事工一直都在福音的基础上迈向合一，“用和平彼此联络，竭力保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心”（弗4:3）。英语事工、华语事工与印尼语事工【注二】在同一个办公室运作的是在整个国际FES绝无仅有的。其他区域的学生事工，每当有其他语言的事工出现时，都会选择另辟办公地点，在行政与财务上分割，使其中可能的文化差异不会影响学生运动。但在我们这弹丸之地，却一直都在学生事工的合一见证上顺服神的带领，三个语言事工彼此扶持、同工，当然会有张力，却也是更好的学习平台。 在南洋理工大学（Nanyang Technological University）基督徒学生福音团契有一个ICE的组织。正是印尼语Indonesian I 、华语Chinese C、 英语 English E的缩写，目的就是不忘记在校园维护福音派信仰，合一的见证。在理工Poly校园，基督徒学生每个学期都会至少有一次华语团契与英语团契的联合团契聚会，重点不只是联谊，更是要活出在基督徒学生福音团契的特征：合一的见证。 FES华文组每一年的《大家庭聚会》正是这个合一见证最好的写照。即便我们的50周年《大家庭聚会》遇上了冠病疫情，无法实体进行，我们仍然以线上的方式召集了本地与在国外的校友与学生，着实地以《傳》来传承传递福音派信仰的合一精神。经过了疫情的煎熬，我们有许多合一见证的校园故事要分享，也邀请大家一同来聆听，因为这一路上都是《与祢同走过》，是天父的恩典托着我们。10月21日晚上7时30分见！ 赖斯强主任 【注一】90年代笔者的办公室在圣经大厦#03-05，4楼正是Student Christian Movement（SCM）新加坡的办公室，因此与SCM的同工有交流并知道他们的事工重点。 【注二】 在廿一世纪初拓荒并逐渐成为今天的模式。...
