因为疫情的缘故,学校课程都将在网上进行,与同学也很难有见面交流的机会。但是我很幸运也很感恩在我开学之前,就来到了SIM华文团契,认识了当中的弟兄姐妹们并且每周都有机会见面交流,一起灵修与团契。 这在疫情的限制当中显得尤为珍贵。 加入团契后不久,就迎来了迎新营。大家一起吃饭,一起游戏,一起听干事的分享,彼此之间更加认识了。不仅如此,对我来说更重要的是透过迎新营,我对自己有更全面的认识,也促使我去思考团契的意义。 在迎新营当中,我尝试了在一个不算特别熟悉的情况下带领实体敬拜,这对不那么喜欢吸引别人注意的我来说是一个进步。团契里的氛围很包容也很有爱,透过点点滴滴,我也看到了营会的筹委们的用心准备,不仅营造活跃的氛围,还透过游戏增进大家对福音的认识和促进更深层的思考,让这个营会不同于其它的社交活动。 我印象很深的是斯强干事关于团契生活的分享,他引用了潘霍华牧师的一句话:凡要团契而不想独处的,言语和情感都变得空虚;凡想独处而不要团契的,就毁于虚荣、自恋和绝望的深渊中。这句话一直萦绕在我的脑海中,激发我思考团契的意义和我们应该怎样平衡好独处和团契的时间。它也让我产生了新的思想,想要在SIM团契里面亲身经历团契的意义。 雷雨禾 SIM数据科学与商业分析 第一年 ...
在2021年9月21日,南大基督徒学生福音团契(华文组,英文组,印尼组)联合举办了一个中秋节福音性聚会。作为华人传统节日,中秋节也象征着团圆,因此团契想趁此机会一起来庆祝中秋节,同时希望透过这个聚会能够邀请非信徒朋友来到我们当中。 这其实也不是团契第一年举办中秋节聚会,前几年团契也曾经一起做月饼庆中秋。不过,今年的聚会调整了方向,主要挑战契友们去邀请新朋友来到我们当中,也想要以比较轻松欢乐的形式来进行这个聚会,让新朋友们能够更融入聚会的氛围,下一次更愿意来参加团契的其他活动,也透过团契感受到上帝的爱。 原本聚会是要以线上线下同步的方式进行,但由于疫情的影响,我们临时改成了在线上进行。感谢主,这个改变对聚会没有太大的影响,包括契友以及新朋友吗,活动最终有将近53位参与者。除了大部分契友和所邀请的新朋友,我们也有NTU CRU以及Tabernacles的弟兄姐妹们一同来参加。 我们把聚会主题设定为 《一起发光吧!》,象征着每位契友都能够在校园当中发光发热,影响我们身边的朋友,并把耶稣介绍给他们。配合这个主题,这个聚会的亮点之一就是一起制作手工灯笼和提灯笼。 聚会以敬拜赞美开始,和往常的的敬拜赞美不同,来自三个团契的契友们组成了敬拜团,一起带领了一首能用三个语言(英语,中语,印尼语)唱的诗歌,除了让大家能够用最舒服的语言来敬拜神,也让大家感受到即使是使用不同的语言也能够同心合一地敬拜我们同一个主。 敬拜赞美后,就用了特别的方式来进行一个类似猜灯谜的游戏。我们准备了一些印尼语和华语的俚语,让大家透过游戏来猜猜这些俚语的意思,也帮助大家了解彼此的文化。 随后,我们一起观看一个短短的见证分享视频《How do you fix a broken family?: Felicia Chin on the hope that heal》,从分享中看到许多人可能在原生家庭中曾经被伤害,可是耶稣能够医治我们的破碎,恢复我们和家人的关系,我们也能透过上帝的爱,学会爱我们的家人。我们也希望透过这个分享,新朋友能够认识那位爱我们,也爱我们家人的耶稣。 分享后,就到了大家最期待的制作手工灯笼的环节。 参加者在小组里一同制作灯笼。 制作完灯笼,我们一起拍大合照然后结束聚会。拍大合照时,看得出大家都觉得这个活动非常有趣,大家的反馈也出乎了我们的意料。 这个聚会充满着值得感恩的地方。感谢神透过这个聚会,带来了那么多新朋友,也让我们意识到不管我们来自校园里的哪一个学生团契,在基督里,我们都是一个大家庭,我们在校园当中都有不小的影响力。我们也感恩在临时的更动下,我们所预备的灯笼材料和月饼都成功地在活动之前分发给大部分的参加者。聚会后看见大家很开心地玩着他们所做的灯笼,并在Instagram分享,我们都很开心。最后,感谢神一路上的带领,即使筹划过程困难重重,一切仍旧顺利完成,把荣耀都归给神。 黄嬿燕 南大化学和生物化学系 第二年 陈维杰 南大数据科学和人工智能系 第二年...
最近翻开这本记录史托德牧师(Rev John R.W. Stott)在1972年的演说,出版了近半个世纪的好书,虽是重读的书籍,但感觉上仍不失一份像读新书的新鲜感。 序言所说的,论谁都会被这番话吸引:“谁也不会喜欢一个冷酷、枯燥、讲理论的基督教。但这是说我们要不惜任何代价规避‘理性主义’吗?”何等一针见血的辟见。 今天“很多学生在教科书上用脑,却以为在基督徒的生活中,理智所占的地位是很少的。” 是的,信徒这样的思维方式,到底想对了多少?在上帝创造中给人的头脑,到底有何地位呢?信徒到底该如何在生活中运用头脑呢? 这本小书,有四个部分: (一)热心却没有线索:一开始作者引用保罗在罗马书10:2 “我可以证明他们向神有热心,但不是按着真知,“来指出恐怕保罗当年所看到的现象,也可以用来形容今天一些的信徒。”有热诚却没有知识,有热爱且没有启导“。但是没有热诚的知识却也绝不是用以取代没有知识的热诚。上帝是要信徒两者并用,热诚是被知识引导,而知识是被热诚燃烧!反理性主义精神培植出来的实用主义以仪式、社会行动及经历,取代了上帝给人运用头脑思想的能力。 (二)为什么要使用我们的头脑?为何运用我们的头脑这么重要?从创造、启示、救赎和审判来看,因为人的思想能力足以影响他的行动;人需要做的是透过思维来行出所思想和所知道的事!尽管人的头脑是已经堕落,但人依然有思想和做决定的能力,依然可以用物质界的常识来辨识和选择属灵和道德的领域。(太16:1-4)上帝启示予人的道与教义,不单不是使人的头脑变成无用,而是不可缺少。上帝的救赎所带来的是,使祂在人身上的形象得着更新,包括了思想层面。虽然这个形象曾因始祖犯罪而扭曲,但上帝已使基督“成了我们的智慧“。最终,重要的是,上帝是以我们所知道和我们对启示的道的反应来审判我们。 (三)头脑在基督徒的生活中占何位置呢?上帝会期望我们如何运用头脑?真正的敬拜是按上帝所配得的方式取悦祂。保罗知道上帝所悦纳的敬拜,是有理智的敬拜,是出于“真实“的敬拜,是那些知道自己所敬拜的是谁,并且”尽意“去爱祂的那些人所献上的敬拜(徒4:24;路10:27)。且信徒的信心不是轻信,不是乐观主义;信徒的信心是讲理由的信靠,是完全和肯定地寄望于上帝的可靠性的一种信靠。其他层面如:圣洁的追寻、基督徒的带领、福音的表达和服事与恩赐的运用,都是发自头脑的运用,思想带来的行动回应。 (四)以我们的知识行事。避免从反理性主义到过分理性主义,史托德牧师语重心长的提醒“知识附带一个严重的责任,就是行出我们的知识,将我们的知识用适当的行为翻译出来。“ 知识应当引至崇拜——掌握关于适当的真知识不会使我们感到自负,反而会使人在惊异中俯伏在上帝面前;知识应引至信心——知识是信心的根基,也使信心成为合理;知识应引至圣洁——所知道的增多,实践它的责任也随之增加(腓4:9);知识应引至爱心——当知道越多,不论是在传福音或教导上,越服侍他人。 谢谢史托德牧师这历经半世纪的经典之作,它不只是在半个世纪前敲响信徒的鸣钟,且鼓励这个世代的信徒,要建立在“被真理燃烧起的虔诚“上。 这本小书,有中英文版本,皆可在FES图书馆中借阅。(中文书:《别埋没你的头脑》,图书馆编码261.501 STD)(英文版:《Your Mind Matters》,图书馆编码 261.502 STO ) 陈淑贞干事...

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!

Join us as we explore, during our time at university, the Lordship of Christ in all things on campus, from our interactions with the hall cleaners to our discussions with faculty professors. We welcome you to our regular Bible studies – through which we hope to bear fruit by reaching out to various communities on our campus. See through the lenses of Christians from different walks of life (from theologians to teachers to theater artists) during our corporate teaching sessions as we learn how Scripture informs and influences their work. Our interdenominational ministry is one that is student-led and student-initiated with a vision to be salt and light on campus and later in the working world, upon graduation.

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.

Issues, Challenges, and the Way Forward
Hwa Yung (2019)
How has our world changed since the modern global missions movement began around 1500 A.D.? What are the changes in global Christianity that have taken place? In the midst of these shifting currents, what are some important issues and challenges that have emerged?
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.”

FES Singapore (2016)
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.

Exploring the Face of God in the Academy
FES Singapore (2017)
As a Christian student, what is your answer to the question “Why Study?”
In this book, you will find writings and stories of people who have begun their journey of encountering the different facets of the “Face of God” in their studies, research, and practices. When we look at the different paths they took, we also discover their conscious and consistent worship of the Triune God through their respective fields of study and vocation that form the heart of this book.
May this book inspire us to begin our own journey of exploring the face of God in the academy.

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
FES Singapore (2014)
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.
