The weekend following the Feast of Tabernacles, Tanya and I took a “short flight” to Singapore to have the opportunity to spend the Sabbath with some of our small group of brethren there, as well as to see a bit of the amazing city-state of Singapore.  It did not disappoint!

On the Sabbath I met with four of the Singapore brethren who were back from the Feast.  We had a Bible study on the Sabbath in which I shared with all of them seven lessons that I have learned while serving as a pastor over the past 35 years.  It proved to be a good topic, as we had quite a lengthy and positive discussion about the Church and the ministry.

While we were missing two families that had not yet returned from the Feast, the small group of brethren in Singapore are a very dedicated and educated congregation of God’s people.  They live in the extremely crowded but well-managed and modern city-state.  It is a different life and world there for these brethren; however the small group of God’s people that we have in this financial powerhouse on the southern tip of Malaysia have the challenge of being “very small fish in a large pond” of the Asian countries of Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
