May God continue to use FEBC to train more disciples for the ministry of the Word of God and for His Glory till Jesus returns.

“It Is an Honour to Serve at FEBC”

Mrs Ruth Yap Ling Ling

It is an honour to serve at FEBC. I am very much indebted to the kindness of the Rev and Mrs Timothy Tow, to Dr and Mrs Jeffrey Khoo, for being patient with all my weaknesses all these 20 years (if I am not mistaken, the LORD led me to FEBC in 1992.) Without His wisdom and strength and grace, I would not be able to serve for even a single year. For about three years, I worked at the FEBC Bookroom before Mrs Tow asked me to serve in the FEBC Library.

I am very grateful to the LORD for His love for me and for allowing me to know Him personally. Thank the LORD also for opportunities to learn God’s Word through FEBC classes, and being blessed by so many faithful brethren in Christ, and for giving me a loving family (Barnabas and little Yerushah).

Praise the LORD for it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy “unto the LORD”.

“I Thank the LORD for Saving FEBC”

Mr Barnabas Yap

I thank the LORD for saving FEBC. Thank the LORD for giving me the opportunity to serve Him in this school of prophets. There are many things to thank God for. I thank God especially for His abundant grace and mercy upon us who are undeserving. Unlike most who serve in FEBC, I did not study in FEBC. Yet the LORD has arranged for me to serve among His servants. For the past 12 years serving in the college bookroom, I have met many other pastors and missionaries. All of them have been very much blessed by the ministry that was started by our late founding pastor Dr Timothy Tow. Our publications and bookroom ministry have not only led many to Christ but also to FEBC.

May God continue to preserve FEBC. All glory to God. Amen.

“I Count It a Privilege to Serve Him in a Simple Manner”

Mrs Manuela D Fernandez-Heng

As FEBC celebrates its 50^th Anniversary, I would like to say, “Congratulations, praise God!” Truly FEBC has gone a long way. The path was and is never smooth, but God as the Proprietor-Owner, Master and Landlord, has preserved, upheld and taken good care of His own, “… for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Heb13:5).

This time as we celebrate the goodness and blessings of God for FEBC, we also must not forget the late Principal, the Rev Dr Timothy Tow, whom the LORD raised and used in the furtherance of the Gospel. The Rev Dr Timothy Tow’s great love, faith and obedience for the LORD resulted to the birth and growth of FEBC, which up to this day is mission strong to train young men and women for the harvest field.

I myself an FEBC alumnus, would like to thank the LORD for the opportunity and privilege to serve Him even in a simple manner in the FEBC Bookroom. It is a pleasure to serve our LORD. Also, may the LORD bless the Rev Dr Jeffrey Khoo with good health and wisdom as God has entrusted him the ministry of both FEBC and True Life Bible-Presbyterian Church. May the LORD continue to use Dr Khoo mightily, effectively and to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3). Not forgetting Mrs Ivy Tow, may the LORD bless her too, as up to this day, she labours with the love of Martha in the kitchen, and like Mary in the Greek class. God bless Mrs Tow!

“Serve the LORD with gladness … It is he that hath made us … be thankful unto him … For the LORD is good” (Ps 100:2-5). Amen.

“I Thank God for the Faithful Teaching of God’s Word”

Mrs Tan Chew Ying

Far Eastern Bible College is a place that nurtures my faith in the Lord. In 2001, I resolved to take the study of God’s Word seriously and started attending the night classes and taking exams, I have been blessed richly by the study of God’s Word in a systematic way. The more I study, the more I thirst after God’s Word. Through the studies, my eyes were opened to the wondrous truths found in the Bible. Truly, it can be said that God’s Word is a balm to my soul and the source of infinite wisdom. My faith was greatly strengthened and I thank God for the faithful teaching of God’s Word in FEBC.

The Lord has been good to me in my life, blessing me with a good husband and two wonderful children. When the opportunity came for me to help out in the college with the accounts in 2008, I gladly accepted it as a way of contributing to God’s work in FEBC. I could also see how the Lord would use those who yield to Him for His work. It is wonderful to work in a place where the people love the Lord and would work singularly for the purpose of glorifying His name. There are struggles, personally, with managing work in FEBC and duties at home. There are also struggles the college has with enemies from without. However, I trust in the Lord’s promise that His grace is sufficient for us. We have to only make sure we are doing His will and He will lead the way.

FEBC’s 50 years of existence is truly a testimony of God’s sustenance, protection and guidance. FEBC is a small college and may seem insignificant in many ways. However, the Lord deems it fit to use His chosen to proclaim His truth. As we also remember how God had led the late Rev Timothy Tow to found FEBC, may we be found faithful to continue the good work that was started in FEBC for the glory and honour of His name alone. May the Lord’s name be praised.

“I Thank God for Raising Up FEBC”

Miss Wendy Teng

I thank God for raising up FEBC to faithfully teach the whole counsel of God without compromise nor fear of man and to defend His Words in obedience to Jude 3 to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Since coming to the Lord, my faith was grounded in the Word of God through the night classes I attended at FEBC. I am grateful to the Lord especially for my pastor and teacher, the Rev Dr Timothy Tow, and my lecturer (now my pastor), the Rev Dr Jeffrey Khoo, whom I have learnt much from in the night classes when I was a young Christian. Thank God very much for the faithful teaching of God’s Word I have received in FEBC that has helped me in my Christian life and the many trials I have gone through and am still going through. Thank God for the faith of the Rev Tow and his love for God and the precious lessons I have learnt from him from the Bible when we were in the battle to defend the verbal and plenary preservation of God’s Word, to name a few—”But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” (Heb 11:6). “For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.” (2 Cor 13:8). “I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another.” (Isa 42:8). “He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.” (John 7:18). “Let God be true, but every man a liar.” (Rom 3:4). “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” (Matt 24:35; Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33). Thank God for the Rev Tow who taught the FEBC students, “If you always render absolute glory to God Almighty and not speak of yourself for your own glory and believe in a 100% Preserved Bible, you will have a blessed and not an accursed ministry.”

Praise God for vindicating Himself and defending His own Word and magnifying His Word for His glory alone in the recent lawsuit and for delivering and protecting FEBC. Truly, our God is the Almighty God, the living and true God and our merciful and gracious Heavenly Father! Thank God for preserving FEBC, that in these last days of apostasy and compromise, we have a place to go to where we can be taught sound doctrines and be strengthened in our faith. All glory be to God!
