Here is the history of the Thai Grace B-P Church which was published in the Life Church in Oct 2000.
FIVE BIBLE STUDENTS from Bangkok gathered in a room at the Prinsep Street Presbyterian Church in the early 1970’s to form a Thai Christian Fellowship. It was the beginning of the Thai Grace Church. In 1983 the Lord led the Thai Grace B-P Church through Prachan, a student of FEBC to the B-P Church in Gilstead Road. In the ensuing years the Lord’s hand was seen blessing the work of Prachan. God loved and prospered the Thai Service. The number of worshippers gradually increased to over 75, consisting of Thai ladies married to Singaporeans, their husbands, and their English-speaking children.
Our Pastor delivered a message, “Are you concerned for the salvation of your own people.”, at the Thai Service, Beulah House on the Lord’s Day, 27 February 2000 at 3.00 p.m.. Our Pastor observed that the Thai Grace B-P Church had three main roles to perform. It is appropriate to quote him: “Most of your husbands, being Singaporeans and know little Thai and your English-speaking children, should be your first concern. Your second concern falls on your own people wherever they are to be found. Now thousands of Thais are working or studying in Singapore. Here is a good opportunity to convert them to the Lord. And finally, start a missionary Fellowship in your church. This will give you the opportunity to come together to pray for missions. Bring in missionaries to challenge you to greater effort. And when you gather for fellowship, this will further become a channel whereby you can send your money to support worthy missionaries back in Thailand. This concern for your own people needs the encouragement of Life Church, your mother Church.”
The Thai Grace B-P Church is deeply grateful to have been so graciously accepted by the mother church when the Lord’s hand led us back home after a few months away at the True Way Presbyterian Church in Queenstown. We praise and thank the Lord for His direction and guidance in leading us through many trials to triumph in His service. – Mr Wun Tat Sun
