编按:泰北6月22至30日的短宣,弟兄姐妹的感想 之前,当我在考虑参与短宣的原因是否足够合理时候,FES校园宣教日的分享让我意识到“Being available”——把自己摆上让上帝使用的重要性。让我惊讶的是,这个学习不只是停留在做决定的阶段里;反而是在短宣的过程中让我更深入地了解和经历这个学习。我们把自己摆上给上帝使用不只是关乎起初所做的一次性的决定,而是一个过程。这过程需要我们一次又一次地把自己献上,交托给上帝,这是需要持续的纪律和努力的。若我们要做上帝的器皿,我们需要先经历一个倒空的过程,这包含括天天背起祂的十字架,为主牺牲自己生命(路加福音9:23,24)。 我在短宣中学习到,每一天在上帝的话语和在祷告中得到的喂养和扎根是非常重要。在之前的筹备甚至短宣的过程中,我很常分心,或是过度地投入在‘做’东西和筹备。有时是因为过度担心、心不安,担心我们的计划不够好或漏掉了一些细节;有时候是因为我们感到疲累,不自觉地受诱惑去用早上灵修或晚祷时间去筹备或者多睡一点。但是,上帝以基督的爱来激励、催逼我们(歌林多后书5:14-15),让我们坚持持守早上灵修和晚祷的习惯。因着上帝的恩典,我们亲自尝到能够认识上帝话语、亲近祂的甘甜。让我感叹的是,有时候祂也在某一些重要的阶段以有关联的经文来回应我们。对我来说,这些都不是巧合或偶然的事。 原来,“Being available”的意思不只是抽出几个日期来做短宣。“Being available”更多的是,让自己坦然无惧地来到上帝的面前,花时间和精力,刻意地与祂亲近。每一天,每一刻,把自己的思想、爱慕献上给祂。“Being available“不只是当初的决定,而是一个持续的追求,这实在不容易。在这个想见到效果的时代里,我们可能也会受诱惑去妥协,忽略我们的属灵操练。我们告诉自己,少读一天没有很大的分别,我们把这些属灵操练从每日的粮食,变成是苦差事。但是,感谢主,祂让我从宣教士学到这一课。与宣教士相处、沟通之后,我发现他们不是执行什么特别任务或是生命特别圣洁无暇的人。简单来说,他们是愿意降服于上帝,摆上自己让祂使用的儿女们。他们的“availability”不是因为一次的决志而变得“available”。他们能被上帝大大地使用,是因为他们每一天降服于上帝,与祂亲密,一步一步地跟着上帝的脚步走。 这也让我意识到,我们若要经历上帝,不一定需要去到国外。上帝无所不在,也时刻与我们同在。我们只需回应祂叫我们亲近祂的呼召。虽然这次的短宣已经结束,但上帝在我们生命中的带领和呼唤永不止息。 [vc_separator type='normal' position='center' color='#969496' thickness='' up='' down=''] Written by 杨恩惠, 国大 for Follower September 2018 (Chinese Work Newsletter) ...
编按:泰北6月22至30日的短宣,弟兄姐妹的感想 回想起在泰北短宣这短短的七天,我真的觉得上帝的安排很奇妙。我想,如果在离开大学之前没能参与到短宣队,或许我已经渐渐遗忘身为一个基督徒的使命和那颗火热的心。在这一次的短宣中,我觉得自己与上帝的关系变得更加亲密,也很荣幸能够与在泰北委身的宣教士一起同工,从他们身上学习到把自己的生命交托。我想这是上帝在我踏入职场之前给我的一个训练与提醒——如果不是看见春兰老师、泉华老师以及其他宣教士这么甘心乐意地把自己的生命献上,看见他们如何把上帝放在他们生命的中心,我想在进入这个浮华的社会之后,我会很容易会迷失方向。因为他们的缘故,我重新反省自己的价值观、目标,更加提醒自己在这个世上的意义,立志定睛在主身上,向着标杆直跑。 犹记得在耕耘中心服侍的那几天,第一天到达的时候,我们才发现原来那里的青年几乎都不会说中文,但是他们并没有因为语言不通而疏远我们。虽然对他们来说,或许我们只是来自新加坡的五个陌生人,可是在休息的时间,他们却主动邀请我们一起吃水果、点心,甚至在没有翻译员、完全不能沟通的情况下,我们也能一起玩游戏。我非常感激一起参与短宣的队友,因为我发现他们总是主动地去和孩子们聊天、游戏,这也让我有了勇气融入其中。 最后一天的小组活动,因为翻译员不够的关系,我们只好请稍微懂得一些中文的青年人聚集在一组,而我们当中学过一些泰语的队友也担任起翻译员的工作。庆幸的是,活动进行的很顺利。虽然过程中有很多的比手画脚,还要出动谷歌翻译,但我们想要传达的游戏意义以及他们的想法,都能被双方所理解。这让我再次亲眼看见了神的恩典,因为祂的爱,我们这些语言不通的弟兄姐妹可以聚集在一起,传递祂的爱。 在短宣的最后几天,我们去了回中坡。在回中坡的那几天可以说是整个短宣最忙碌的几天。从早上的幼稚园活动,下午的家庭探访还有补习班,到晚上的家庭聚会都排得满满的。每天开完会躺到床上已经超过凌晨了。那几天虽然忙碌,但是回过头去看,那几天是何其的充实,我们遇到的每一个人、经历的每一件事、参与的每一项活动,都是一次次的经历上帝的恩典的机会。在这里我也要再次感激我的队友们,与他们一起开晚会、早起灵修的时光,总能让我重新反思自己的行动和态度,学习用爱和温柔去对待每一个人,尤其是和我们语言不通的幼稚园小朋友们。 在这次的短宣中,让我最印象深刻的便是每一次祷告之后所看到的果效。在耕耘中心进行活动的时候,因为场地不足,我们把一些活动移到户外的篮球场进行。上帝也怜悯我们,聆听我们的祈祷,明明是雨季的泰国,在活动进行的过程中,竟然连一滴雨都没有。在回中坡的时候,我们也为其中一个家庭的太太祈祷,希望她的先生能早日回家,当天晚上,她的先生便回家了。还有在家庭聚会的时候,我们为其中一位母亲的孩子祈祷,当时她的儿子下山去载妹妹,因为下了很多天的雨,山路非常滑,也很不好行驶,孩子从早上出发,到了晚上九点多还没到家;然而,在我们一起祈祷之后,就听见了摩托车驶入家里的声音。祷告完后,才发现原来她的孩子已经到家了。 上帝的恩典是何等的美妙,我想祂要通过这次短宣重新提醒我“应当一无挂虑,只要凡事借着祷告、祈求和感谢,将你们所要的告诉上帝”。腓立比书4:6 [vc_separator type='normal' position='center' color='#969496' thickness='' up='' down=''] Written by 叶芬绮, 南大 for Follower September 2018 (Chinese Work Newsletter) ...
编按:泰北6月22至30日的短宣,弟兄姐妹的感想 感谢神,祂给了我们这短宣队丰丰富富的恩典。虽然只有我们5人,可我们并无缺乏,因为所需的神每样都给足了。在个人的长处上,队员主动、乐意地付出;在个人的缺乏上,队员以耐心、体谅来宽恕以及彼此扶持,让我们能维持和睦与爱人的心。这九天里能生活在基督徒群体中,一同以荣耀神为我们的推动力,我无比地感恩。 的确,这短宣里有好多需要感谢神的地方,如:团队在我需要支持时以仁爱帮助我,在我不足时仍然坚持让节目不受影响地进行。很多时候,我们不同的个性带来的是欢乐而非争执。纵然有小小的摩擦,大家都能以耐心与温柔回应彼此。感恩无论发生了什么事,我们都能以团队和平为念,一同面对每天所带来的惊喜。感谢神让我们彼此信任与坦诚,并且每一刻都扶持着我们。 在这短宣中,我看到了单单用理性与情感都不能明白的:宣教士怎么能日复一日地做主工?他们的服侍不但耗体力、精力,同时也面对着其他的挑战——放下了生活的舒适,放弃了在新加坡有的安稳,因为无论是在人生地不熟的地方服侍,或与亲人分开都不是容易的事。但因着宣教士的顺服,我们看到了神对那地的人的恩典,神的名得了荣耀,宣教士在主里享有的喜乐。 我也不会忘了宣教士如何乐意地接待我们。虽然他们有着繁忙的事工,可他们还是花了许多的精力来照顾我们、陪伴我们,这令我们非常感恩。 记得在上山的途中看到那佳美的景色,我不由自主地惊叹,神的创造何等完美。那在我眼前的一切,不需人的看顾,却有秩序地维持着。看着看着,我们人呢?神造万物看为好,造人却看为甚好。祂即看顾小麻雀,更不用说我们了。照理来说,越多呵护,就该越多成果。可是,人却反常(这神也知道)。祂何等爱我们,我们虽蒙恩典,却依然在软弱中跌跌撞撞,乐意萦绕在神看为恶的事中。可神照祂的信实,仍然爱我们,这完全是神的恩典。 也感谢神让我们参加了戒毒所的敬拜。我深深地被他们的敬拜感动——他们那渴慕神的歌声,他们那被救赎而献上的生命。那重生的生命何等宝贵。我希望我们常常都能这么真诚地来到上帝的面前,我希望我们真的能够献上我们的今天,我们的每一天。我们既然已经定意要跟从主,那么让我们永远真正地跟从祂,不要再回头看了。 在戒毒所我也感受到了弟兄们的信靠。戒毒的过程非常痛苦,内心的争战更是漫长,可肉体虽受苦,日子虽难捱,他们现在正一天又一天地靠着主度过。 我决定参加这次的短宣,是希望能看到神在我小小的生命以外的作为,从一个更阔的角度来了解神的事工与祂对信徒的旨意。我也希望能通过亲身的接触来明白宣教。短宣确实让我看到了我想知道的,却也让我明白我还有好多需要学习的。 同时,宣教士也提醒我神的作为何处不在,用心去看世界,用心去感受。不要只用眼肉眼,因为单肉眼是不完全的。用心看需要很大的信靠,也需要愿意付代价。我不晓得这路程会带我经过什么,可我希望我能成为我救主忠心良善的仆人。 [vc_separator type='normal' position='center' color='#969496' thickness='' up='' down=''] Written by 陈慧琪, SIM for Follower September 2018 (Chinese Work Newsletter) ...
编按:泰北6月22至30日的短宣,弟兄姐妹的感想 感谢上帝,透过这次的访宣,我有不少的学习。在校园团契的这几年,我听好些朋友和学长们说过到泰北短宣的经历,这也让我很向往有一天能够去体验和了解这个地方的宣教工作以及其中的运作。我期望能够看到上帝在新加坡这弹丸小国之外,是以什么方式扩展祂的国度,好让我可以更明白上帝是怎样使用宣教的服侍。 在短短的八天里,我学到的其中一个功课就是,在事工上,上帝要我们尽心尽力地做预备的同时,也要相信祂会亲自带领和使用。在预备的过程中,我们为了每个小细节都做了讨论和精心的预备,但这也让我们都感到疲惫。在感到疲乏之时,我曾经质疑我们在筹备时是不是想得太多,以致我们每个队员得照顾事工上的很多细节;我甚至因此而烦恼和不喜乐。 到了泰北的时候,我们所细心预备的每个活动在实行的过程中,都有一些未知数,或者是在行程上有一些更改,这都是我们之前没预料到的。譬如,我们发现因为语言障碍的缘故,很多我们想要通过游戏和活动向那边的青年人传递的意思,都得靠弟兄姐妹来翻译成泰语。但是感谢上帝把我们放在得学习依靠祂的处境里,让我们见证祂完全地眷顾属于祂的工。祂赐了能够和我们很好地同工的翻译,也让我们遇到很有爱心的宣教士。在做上帝的工的时候,如果忘了是上帝自己成就一切,我们可能会做到觉得很吃力。但是,感谢上帝知道我们的需要,祂也必赐我们足够的力量来服侍祂,成就祂的旨意,让我们在做的时候,只需相信就算我们的服侍有不足的地方,还是能被上帝所使用。 我想,宣教真的会考验一个人的信心。当我看到在泰北的弟兄姐妹、老师们、传道人,都是靠着信心而得到上帝在事工上一步一步的带领,日常生活上一天一天的供应,真是让我觉得这样的信心是我所需要学习的。无论我们是宣教士或者是学生,只要我们是跟随耶稣的基督徒,都要学习相信我们天上的父每日的引导,跟随祂,被祂使用。 [vc_separator type='normal' position='center' color='#969496' thickness='' up='' down=''] Written by 林祎, 国大 for Follower September 2018 (Chinese Work Newsletter) ...
很感恩我能参加这一年的应毕营。三年的理工校园团契装备,现在才是真正要活出来的时候。感恩上帝赐给我一群可爱又爱主的筹委们一起筹备5月19至21日的联合理工应毕营。作为营会文书,虽然这不是我的强项,但是我很感恩神能在营会宣传和手册上使用我设计的恩赐。除此以外,与每位筹委的配搭让我深深感受到侍奉是一种很自然、因着神、发自内心的爱而做的。其中一件体现这份爱的事,就是我们的总务弟兄竟然带了一些香料来,以方便我们烹调的时候使用! 我想在这个阶段,很多刚毕业的弟兄姐妹也正在面临一些挣扎和疑问:毕业过后应该往哪里去?继续升学或者开始工作?经过多次考量,我们筹委们最后设下今年的营会主题《如何踏出下一步》,希望透过3个专题装备校友与应毕生去思索他们人生的路程要如何地走。 《活出我的身份:工作/道德/金钱的试探》讲员让我从圣经里了解神如何看待工作。神和人类以及我们的工作也有重大的关系,神很看重我们每一个人的工作。讲员也再次强调我们在工作的态度上应有一丝不苟的精神,一颗愿意学习的心,在一切事上都做好自己的本分,谦卑不寻求即时的满足感,在整体上活出一个平衡的生命。 《活出我的身份:升学/人生目标》讲员透过对谈的方式与营员们互谈,分享他们人生的终极目标是什么。对谈的过程中,讲员分析我们的目标究竟是手段还是终极目标,因为手段是用来达到终极目标的。一个人设定的人生目标与他的身份息息相连,因为身份指引你生命的价值。但是,我们不能以目标来衡量我们的价值。 《我们的爱情故事》里最让我深刻影像是讲员夫妇选伴侣时,注重他的核心价值和婚姻的素质多过豪华的婚宴。在婚姻关系里 他们常常以A.A.R. 来建立他们的关系:欣赏Appreciation,接受Acceptance 和 尊重Respect。 我非常享受这三天两夜的营会,它激励我去好好地思想我的生命可以如何荣耀神。我已经踏出我人生的下一步!

Remembering Rev. Choong Chee Pang 1942–2021
FES Singapore (2020)
钟志邦牧师在2021年6月12日中午荣归天国。这对家人及一群同工同道都是不舍的。在这本追思集的篇篇文稿里看出他是我们众人的兄长和师长,在同奔天国的路上与我们一同事奉永生的上帝,一起学习持守福音真道。
出版追思集与其说是追思钟牧师,倒不如说是收集了我们与他的集体回忆。更是要加上我们需要彼此励志的内容,因他已成为了我们其中一位云彩般的见证人(希伯来书12章1–2节),同来提醒同路的天路客!
Rev. Choong returned to the Lord in the afternoon of 12 June 2021. This parting was a reluctant one for his family and partners in ministry. The articles in this collection rightly present him as our elder brother and teacher. One who ran the race and served the Lord alongside us, holding fast to the evangelical truth. In publishing this memorial booklet, we do not just remember Rev. Choong, but rather put together a collective memory by us, and of us with him. We also do so to edify and encourage, for he has become one of those witnesses in the cloud (Heb. 12:1–2), reminding all fellow sojourners to race on!

Recollections and Reflections
FES Singapore (2020)
When the Fellowship of Evangelical Students (FES) was launched in July 1959, there was an established Christian presence in four tertiary institutions in Singapore.
Today, the ministry has expanded. Yet, FES remains committed to its found principles as articulated in its aim and distinctives. These principles are encouraging witness to the Lord Jesus Christ in institutions of higher learning; uniting Christian students through prayer and Bible study; and stimulating in them, an active interest in reaching out within and across cultures and geographical boundaries.
This book brings together recollections and reflections that piece together a story about a missional God and His people involved with these aims. Come, hear from men and women who have been on this journey with God through the first 60 years of the FES ministry.
(This book is available at the FES office)
Seeking to Know God’s Will
FES Singapore (1984)
Are you wrestling with how you can know God’s will for your life?
God is the lord of all life. He has provided in the Scriptures sufficient teaching upon which sound Christians decisions can be made. Knowing God’s will is discovering what these teachings are. Sng provides us with the pointers on how we may discern God’s will in our lives.

In this booklet, Bishop Emeritus Hwa Yung raises these questions and points the way forward as we labour together to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ in our respective contexts.
This booklet was originally a message delivered by Bishop Emeritus Hwa Yung at the 2019 World Assembly of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES).

Heart-to-Heart on the Distinctives of Student Ministry
FES Singapore (2020)
Fellowship of Evangelical Students (FES) has been involved in campus student ministry since the 1950s. What makes the FES student ministry distinct from other campus and youth ministries?
This monograph is an attempt to provide contemporary reflections on the six distinctives of FES. It is not just about being different. It is about wrestling on the relevance of these distinctives, which were passed down from our predecessors, in today’s context. It is an invitation to participate in the conversations on how the ministry should look like on campus.

Vinoth Ramachandra
FES Singapore (2013)
Your Kingdom Come was first published by FES Singapore in 1987 (under the title Thy Kingdom Come) as a transcription of three expository sermons delivered by Dr Vinoth Ramachandra, who is currently the Secretary for Dialogue and Social Engagement of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES), at the IFES East Asia Regional Conference in Hong Kong in 1986. The talks dealt with the kingdom of God in relation to Jesus, the Church and Christian hope. In this partially revised edition, the author has updated some of the illustrations and statistics used in the original talks. Other than these minor changes, the messages remain the same and continue to be a challenge to Christian students and graduates today, in whatever context they are in.

Fellowship of Evangelical Students Singapore (2009)
Vision & Continuity In Our Time brings together thoughts on the subject by two groups of people: the “forerunners” of student ministry in East Asia and other parts of the world; and a new generation of “runners” who are still working out this vision in our own contexts.
The legacy of our “forerunners” provides us with valuable lessons that demonstrate the integration of what was taught and how it was lived out. These are presented to us under Section 1 of this book which is essentially taken from Vision And Continuity, published by IFES in 1989.
In Section 2, the contributors, who are currently involved in student and graduate ministry, share with us the challenges faced in this generation. What are our battles today? Where are we now? What kind of graduates are we “producing”?
Vision And Continuity In Our Time is a valuable resource for student leaders and staffworkers. The articles prompt us to ask ourselves searching questions to evaluate the ministry God has entrusted to us.
As God has enabled our “forerunners” to pass the vision to us, may we, similarly, challenge future generations of students to be “faithful to respond to God’s call to carry His good news across the boundaries of generation and society” (adapted from the Afterword).

Essays in honour of Koichi Ohtawa
FES Singapore (2017)
Journey of Grace and Growth is a collection of writings published in honour of Koichi Ohtawa-san who was formerly General Secretary of KGK (Kirisutosha Gakusei Kai, the IFES movement in Japan) in the 1970s, Regional Secretary of IFES East Asia and Associate General Secretary of IFES from 1982–2002.
In the various roles Ohtawa-san assumed in the IFES family, he never failed to teach and inspire student leaders, graduates and staffworkers, on essential issues in discipleship and spirituality. This has continued till today in his role as a spiritual retreat director for pastors, church and ministry leaders in Japan and the region.
We hope that the articles in this book, written by those who in one way or another have been blessed by the ministry of Ohtawa-san, will similarly bring blessings in your respective journeys of grace and growth toward Christlikeness.

Tan Lai Yong
FES Singapore (2016)
Twist and Wait is a collection of devotional essays and reflections written by Dr Tan Lai Yong over a span of 25 years. Many of these essays had the input of the late Rev. Dr Chua How Chuang (a former OMF missionary and FES Associate Staffworker) especially in matters relating to Greek and Hebrew. The book also includes some essays written by How Chuang during his association with FES.
The theme of this book is one way to remind us that while we are “waiting” in this world, we can grow stronger in fulfilling His calling in our life, until, in Lai Yong’s words, “The day when we will all be gathered into the joyful presence of Jesus Christ our Lord, He will have the words to comfort us.”

Flux And Beyond is a compilation of articles written by graduates from different tertiary institutes and diverse cultural backgrounds. Many of these articles were originally compiled in the booklet, Flux, a publication of Life Travel Planners, a ministry of Varsity Christian Fellowship, National University of Singapore in 2012. The writers of these articles, having wrestled with the issues of life after graduation, sought to inspire those who are still students, to begin the journey of discovering what it means to be a Christian in the workplace as early as possible, and not just during their final year of studies.
Besides these articles, we have also included a slightly condensed version of Dr Bobby Sng’s monograph, Decision Making: Seeking to Know God’s Will, which was originally published in 1984. A list of resources, including information on programmes for fresh graduates by the Marketplace Christian Network and Friends In Transition, is provided in this book as well.
Though this is not meant to be a manual, we hope this book will be a treasured companion in our journey to be a community of Christians struggling with similar concerns on issues pertaining to work, the workplace, and all other things in between.

Faith and Service in the Academy (2nd Edition: Revised and Expanded)
FES Singapore (2016)
What does it mean to engage the whole campus for Christ? Do we have the biblical foundation to this vision? Is engaging the campus an elitist ministry? What are the challenges faced and possible blindspots discovered as we practise our faith and serve in the academy?
Since the publication of the original version of this booklet in 2014, we have been humbled and grateful to witness how God has used thousands of copies of this book to edify students and graduates, not only locally in Singapore, but also in many other countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, and America.
In this second edition of Engaging the Campus: Faith and Service in the Academy there are slight updates in the articles by Terry Halliday and Vinoth Ramachandra. The article on the Singapore context has been revised and expanded. The testimony of one student’s journey in engaging the campus remains unchanged. Last but not least, we have added a new response from Hong Kong.
May we continue to ingeniously discover and authentically live out many ways of engaging our campus for Christ!

Integral Mission and the Great Commission
Christopher J. H. Wright

What do we understand by integral mission and how do we connect it to the Great Commission?
Is mission a specialist activity just for a selected few? If the church exists for the sake of God’s mission, then mission is for every member of the whole church. May this small book, spark off conversations and initiatives that will lead to greater integration and alignment of the tasks of the church with God’s mission.
