    往期活动

    公开讲座
    主题：浅谈甲骨文
    时间：2024年2月28日
    讲员：李明芬牧师
    内容：殷商时期是目前已知最早有文字记载的历史时期，甲骨文和金文是这一时期的书法代表。
    考古学家在山东桓台县发现了一批甲骨文片，经测定距今约 3,500 – 3,700 年。据此推测，中国书法至少有 3,500 年以上的历史。
    在甲骨文笔画刻漏处，可以发现甲骨文字是先书后刻，从书法角度来看，甲骨文已经具备了后世书法的用笔，章法，结字诸要素。而从用笔的角度来看，殷商时期刻工运刀如用笔，表现出某些书法的用笔特征。（摘自《中国书法史》– 朱天曙著）

    FEATURE ARTICLE: TRANSFORMING LIVES IN MISSIONS – CELEBRATING GOD’S WORK IN OUR LOCAL MINISTRY

    “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.” —Isaiah 9:2

    As the birth of Christ marked the ultimate new beginning, bringing hope, healing, and transformation, this same spirit inspires the Bible Society’s local missions today.

    Over the years, our local Bible Mission has evolved from a focus on Bible engagement to also encompassing holistic outreach among diverse communities in Singapore. Beyond our borders, the Society also supports humanitarian relief, including aid for suffering Israelis and Palestinians through a 2023 fundraising project. Through outreach, partnerships, and discipleship, we strive to meet both spiritual and practical needs, transforming lives for Christ.

    As we look back on 2025, key initiatives—the Bible Mission Banquet 2025, the 10th D6 Family Conference, and Colours of the Bible—seek to effect lasting change by first establishing a strong, godly foundation within the home. Partners and participants share how these events have shaped them.

    Bible Mission Banquet 2025: Missions Begin at Home

    “The Bible Society has shown what it means to be a good neighbour, demonstrating the essence of agape—unconditional love—even in difficult times,” said Guest-of-Honour Dr Tan See Leng, Minister for Manpower & Minister-in-charge of Energy and Science & Technology, at the Bible Mission Banquet held on 4 July 2025.

    Marking 202 years of Bible Mission in Singapore and 188 years since official registration, and with the theme Intercultural Missions from One City to All Nations, the Banquet reaffirmed our commitment to Bible engagement and local mission—serving marginalised communities here while extending God’s love abroad.

    Rev. Ezekiel Tan, General Secretary of the Bible Society, said: “The Bible Society has remained steadfast in its calling. Today, we partner with over 30 countries, supporting Bible translation, Scripture engagement, and humanitarian work, while continuing to reach Singapore’s diverse languages, age groups, and communities.”

    Our local Bible Mission also partners with community ministries to reach specific groups. The late Pastor Sonny of Network of Filipino Churches in Singapore (*NetFIL) shared then, “This partnership has given us an avenue to conduct programmes for the Filipino community.”

    Major Kunam, Territorial Coordinator for Tamil Ministries at The Salvation Army Singapore and a key leader of our Alliance of Indian Ministries (*AIM), added, “I still buy Bible study materials in Tamil, Hindi and Punjabi from the Bible House. At AIM, pastors unite to build the Kingdom of God. I pray for a greater revival and harvest!”

    The Banquet reminded us that missions begin at home—each act of service and generosity shining the light of Christ into our local communities, echoing the heart of Christmas.

    D6 From Singapore to Asia: 10 Years of Generational Discipleship

    2025 marked a milestone for the D6 Family Conference, as it celebrated its 10th anniversary in Singapore. What began as a local discipleship initiative has grown into a regional movement, now in partnership with the Asia Evangelical Alliance, inspiring families across Asia to embrace homecentred discipleship. “We believe this broader engagement reflects a shared vision and collective strength in building Christ-centred homes throughout Asia,” said Rev. Ezekiel Tan in his welcome message.

    2025's theme, As You Go!, reminded us that discipleship is lifelong—woven into daily routines, conversations, and family relationships. D6 Chinese follows the theme of Foundation of family discipleship, where a Christ-centred family is the cornerstone for rooting faith, passing on spiritual legacy, and fostering a thriving Church.

    Long-time participant Eileen from Mount Carmel Bible-Presbyterian Church shared: “The panel discussion was exceptional. I’ve learnt that listening to our children first, instead of rushing to correct them, is crucial in building strong relationships. This is my ninth year attending and I will continue to do so.” D6 continues to equip parents and leaders to build Christcentred homes, transforming lives for generations.

    Colours of the Bible: Art that Inspires Mission

    Colours of the Bible is an annual art competition, exhibition, and workshop series that invites participants to explore how the Bible and art intertwine.

    In 2025, nearly 60 entries were submitted under the theme Generations in the Bible. The exhibition in November showcased the creativity and insights of the participants.

    Co-organised by the Bible Society and the Embassy of Israel in Singapore, the initiative highlights how Scripture inspires creativity across cultures and generations. Ashley, a young participant in the March 2025 oil pastel workshop, said: “I can express God’s Word better through art than through words. After completing an artwork, I feel closer to God and happy.” His grandmother, Wee Lee, added: “I was encouraged by the instructor’s sharing of how Christ breaks into darkness. I hope to share about Christ through art during my mission trip.”

    Like the star that led the wise men to Jesus, Colours of the Bible shines as a creative light—helping participants reflect on God’s Word and carry it into their communities.

    Be the Light of Christ

    Through initiatives such as these, the Bible Society continues to bear witness to the hope of Christ. We invite your support of the Bible Society’s local missions to:

    • Share God’s Word with the marginalised in Singapore

    • Equip churches and families for discipleship

    • Provide Bibles and humanitarian aid to communities in need

    FEATURE ARTICLE: GIFT OF HOPE FOR THE FORGOTTEN COMMUNITY OF ICIDUA

    Icidua—a devastated community along the banks of the Bons Sinais River in Quelimane, Mozambique—is a place where extreme poverty, environmental hardship, and disease weave a tapestry of suffering few can imagine. Despite lying just 7 kilometres from the city centre, it remains one of the most neglected corners of the earth. Yet, in this very place, hope is stirring. And in this season when we remember the hope brought into the world—Jesus Christ, born in a humble manger—we are reminded that true hope often dawns in the most forgotten places.

    A Community in Crisis
    “There is almost nothing here in Icidua, except alcohol and paid sex that fill the leisure hours,” shared The Most Rev Vicente Msosa, who is the Archbishop of Mozambique and Angola. “People are dying in silence. We desperately need help—and prayers.”

    With over 8,500 residents, Icidua was once a gathering place for fishermen. Over the years, it became a refuge for families displaced by war and climate disasters. Today, it is a community clinging to life amidst dilapidated huts, with no electricity, clean water, or healthcare. Many households share broken plates and roofs that cannot keep out the rain. Children and the elderly often sleep standing to avoid the floods that soak their floors.

    For basic needs like water, women and children walk over 7 kilometres to fetch a 20-litre container that costs 10 meticais (about 21 Singapore cents)—an impossible price for many. The HIV infection rate stands at a staggering 40%. Cholera, malaria, and other waterborne diseases claim lives regularly, especially among children. Hunger, too, is a constant companion.

    A Mission of Mercy
    Moved by the suffering in Icidua, the Diocese of Zambezia launched the Save A Community Relief Project (SACREP) to bring emergency aid and a pathway to long-term recovery for 1,300 households across five of the most affected communities.

    The Bible Society of Singapore, in keeping with our mission to see lives transformed through the Word and compassionate action, was one of the partners of this initiative—bringing God’s love to one of the world’s most forgotten corners.
    This five-month project, which began in March 2025, provided:

    Immediate relief: food packages (rice, maize, beans, cooking oil), medical supplies for malaria and bilharzia, clothing, clean water, and shelter materials.
    Healthcare access: mobile clinics, medicine distribution, and hygiene kits prioritising women, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
    Agricultural support: training in climate-smart farming, provision of seeds and tools, and the formation of farming committees to boost long-term food security.
    Community empowerment: outreach programmes on disaster preparedness, nutrition, and sustainable farming to help Icidua move from crisis to resilience.

    Healing the Brokenhearted Through the Gospel
    At the heart of this mission is the transformative power of the Gospel—offering both physical relief and the spiritual hope that only Christ can bring. The Bible Society hopes to provide not just material support, but that families in Icidua would also receive the Good News of Jesus, the One who sees the forgotten and uplifts the brokenhearted.

    A local pastor involved in the outreach shared, “The people of Icidua could not believe others from across the world cared enough to help. We told them, ‘You are not forgotten. God sees you—and so do your brothers and sisters in Christ.’”

    As we celebrate the birth of Christ this December, let us reflect on the miracle of Emmanuel—God with us. May we carry that same spirit to those like the people of Icidua, whose lives can be transformed by the simplest acts of love.

    How can you be involved?
    Psalm 113:7 says, “He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap.” In the past five years, the Bible Society’s global missions efforts have helped 26 countries and reached over 50,000 families. Yet, there are more who need our help. This Christmas, we invite you to bring lasting change to someone’s life. Together, we can make a difference.
