Dear Hope Church,

 

Greetings from Singapore in the name of Christ our Lord who says, “...lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.”

It is with great joy that I am greeting you as you commemorate the 33rd Anniversary of Hope Church. 

 

I was a young student when I heard of the birth of Hope Church 33 years ago. It never occurred to me that I would be closely associated with you years later.

 

As I looked back, I marvelled at how God was preparing a church for my son years before he was even born and likewise, for many other overseas students in Adelaide. I am most grateful that my son is now part of a church that is alive and zealous for Christ’s crown and covenant. I am always rejuvenated whenever I visited you. God has indeed blessed you with a team of godly Church Officers.

 

On this happy occasion, on behalf of our Church Officers and people, I wish you a very blessed 33rd Anniversary. May our Lord continue to bless your ministry and congregation. May Christ be greatly exalted in Adelaide through your labour of love.

Blessed 33rd Anniversary Hope BP Church. 

Dearly beloved brethren at Hope Bible-Presbyterian Church, Adelaide.

 

Solomon writes that “to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven”. [Ecc. 3:1] Thirty-three years is a significant milestone to reflect on the past, to rejoice in the present and to refocus on the future.  Whenever we look back to reflect on the work for the Lord, whether 3 years or for that matter even 33 years, our hearts are filled with thanksgiving to the Lord.

 

In the pioneering years of the church Michael Lee, Ngie Joo Gong, Joseph Selvanayagam, Tony and Sally Law together with the Paauwes had served tirelessly and sacrificially for the cause of Christ and the gospel. While they may not have looked for and received any reward from man for serving, I pray that the Lord Himself would be their reward. Surely, there is no greater satisfaction can they have than to know that the fruits of their labour have been a blessing to many, not only within Hope BPC but even beyond Adelaide.  Now may I commend Rev. Edward Paauwe for his vision, purpose which led him to the founding of Hope Church. Although he is now a retired minister, he does not cease serving the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

In the midst of uncertainty the Lord has raised up young people of His choice to serve in the church session with your Pastor, Rev. Timothy Okman Ki who had been instrumental in finding the present church building at 16 Bedford Square, Colonel Light Gardens SA for the growing congregation.

 

Shall we echo the words of 1 Samuel 7:12 “Hitherto hath the Lord helped us” .
