Anniversary Greetings (Part 1)


From Rev Sun Sokha (Faith Krang Angkrang Church, Phnom Penh)

Dear beloved Pastor Rev. Dr Okman Ki, Elders Michael Lee, Colin Gan, John Wong, Session Committee members and respective Hopefuls, 

Greetings to you all in our Risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, 

Hope this letter finds you all well in good health, strength and full of passion for His souls as you gather to celebrate the wonderful occasion of Hope BP Church 
37th Anniversary. It brings us immense joy to extend our warmest greetings and heartfelt congratulations to you and your entire congregation.

Thank God that I have had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the profound impact your church has had on her life and the lives of so many others. Through your unwavering commitment to serving God and spreading His love, you have created a sanctuary of true faith, hope, and love.

We’d love to express my deepest appreciation for the pastor, elders, leaders, and dedicated members who have tirelessly worked to build and sustain our own congregations with the pure Words of Life and sharing this love towards strangers like us. Your selfless devotion and tireless efforts have made a profound impact on the lives of countless individuals. Through your ministry, you have been a source of inspiration, guidance, and support to so many.

On this special day, may you find strength and encouragement in Isaiah 40:30-31: 
"Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” May God's grace continue to empower you as you navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

As you celebrate this anniversary, we pray that God's blessings overflow upon your church family. May you be filled with renewed enthusiasm and passion for sharing the Gospel, serving your community, and making a lasting impact in the lives of those around you.

Please convey my warmest regards and congratulations to Hope BP Church, whose faith and dedication have been an inspiration to us so much. 

May this anniversary be a time of joy, reflection, and gratitude as you celebrate God's faithfulness and look forward to the bright future He has in store for your church.

Your unworthy stewards of Jesus Christ,
Sun Sokha and Faith Krang Angkrang Church


From Rev Jack Sin (Sovereign Hope B-P Church, Singapore)

Dear Rev Dr Okman Ki, session and members of Hope   BPC,

Greetings in the blessed name of our risen Lord Jesus Christ. The session and members of Sovereign Hope BP Church rejoices with you, your session and members on this blessed commemoration of your church’s 37thThanksgiving Anniversary.

We are grateful to our gracious Lord for His sovereign good will in blessing the ministry of Hope BPC with your stewardship and the session over these past 37 years. 
We remember our fellowship and ministry of the Word in your midst over the years. It is the Lord’s will that Hope BPC was established in Adelaide, Australia. Many students and migrants have been edified and strengthened in the knowledge of the word of the Lord this ministry and it has been also a spiritual refuge for many souls.  We are encouraged by your commendable outreach and missions to the saving of souls and the edifying of the saints in these perilous days as we watch and be ready for the Lord’s soon return.  

It is our prayer that you and your congregation and the next generation will continue steadfast to glow and grow in the Lord, to labour fervently for Christ, to persevere on with the gospel work and the vigilant propagation of the most holy faith in a post pandemic era. With the Lord’s enablement, the church continues to be an effective witness, a vibrant gospel lighthouse and a notable reformed witness in Australia and beyond. We are confident that your faithful labour of love is not in vain in the Lord 
(1 Corinthians 15:58). 

May the Lord greatly bless and exhort you and your congregation on this sacred occasion by this timely Pauline heartbeat to you all: 

1 Thessalonians 1: 2-3  “We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

Kindly convey our felicitations to your dear congregation on this sacred occasion. 

Pastor Jack Sin
On behalf of the Session, Sovereign Hope B-P Church, Singapore
