IPHC Ministries in Singapore


Our family has lived in the city-state of Singapore since September 2004. Over the last 15 years other WMM personnel have lived here as well. Over these years WMM has mainly seen Singapore as a ministry base from which to launch out into the Southeast Asian region. During 2007 we have made a new thrust to build new relationships within Singapore itself. Recently WMM Executive Director Dr. Doug Beacham joined us in a fellowship with some of these new friends. Dr. Beacham's presence was a big boost for us and our friends. One of our key goals is to establish the IPHC in Singapore as a viable ministry network. In a city of 4.5 million people only 15% are Christian. There is definitely room for church growth and ministry outreach potential. We believe the foundation of this IPHC network will be the establishing of personal relationships with existing leaders and ministries. From this foundation we hope to work closely with these leaders to enhance and expand their local and international ministries. We are currently forming this foundation with four local ministries with the goal to formally establish the IPHC in Singapore in 2008. We have been praying for the Lord to expand our work within Singapore ever since we took over the role of regional ministry coordinators for Southeast Asia in 2001. We are anticipating great days ahead for ministry success in Singapore. There is much material wealth and prosperity in this nation but the vast majority of Singaporeans are on their way to a Christ less eternity. We covet your prayers in order to see God bless these endeavors of ours to reach out into the Singaporean community. We also need your financial support that will keep our family stationed in Singapore as well as to reach out to the hurting and needy we see in this land. Thank you for your partnership in this field.
