Anniversary Congratulations & Greetings


Dear Elder Colin,

Greetings in our Saviour’s precious Name.

Congratulations and God’s richest blessings on Hope B-P Church's 34th Anniversary Service this coming Sunday. We have transferred our Anniversary Love Gift to Hope Church’s bank account.

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Cor 15:58).

May God bless you all richly and keep you safe in His loving care.

Yours in Christ,

Rev Edward and Mrs Lehia Paauwe

Hello Deacon Wai Kin,

Please convey our love and fervent prayers to the Session and membership of Hope BP church.

We rejoice with you, seeing the growth in the ministry and the souls saved through the witness of the church.

May the Lord add His richest blessings to your faithful witness and service, such that Hope Bp Church will be a bedrock of Gospel truth in Adelaide (and beyond)...till our Lord returns for us all.

Maranatha and warmest thoughts, 

Elder Stephen Lim and other serving leaders

Dear Dn Wai Kin,

On behalf of the leadership and members of Wellspring Bible Church we want to wish the Session and all members of Hope BPC a very blessed 34th Anniversary. We rejoice with you on this special and joyous occasion though logistically it must be quite different this year. Nevertheless, the hearts of God's people still continue to rejoice and praise Him for His faithfulness. 

It is by no coincidence that the Lord has preserved & bless Hope Church with such longevity. We praise God for your shining beacon of light not just in South Australia but to surrounding states as well. May you continue to do so in the days ahead.  We are especially grateful and thankful for the prayers and support that Hope BPC has for our young ministry in Melbourne. 

Please find a small token love gift of $200 by bank transfer. 

God bless,

Bro Willam Ong

On behalf of Wellspring Bible Church, Melbourne

Dear Dr. Mike & Alice, 

Just wanted to join you in rejoicing over the 34-year anniversary of your church.  Patt and I remember with great joy the months we spent with the wonderful people of the church. They made us feel at home. 

We pray that Pastor Ki gets well soon and for Myung as she cares for him.  I still see the names of many members on your bulletins that I recognize.  So many have been very faithful through the years. 

I heard from pastor Ki  the good news of your new facilities.  Wonderful.   I still remember the old Stone Mansion.  It met need in it's day. We both are nearly 87 years old now and are thankful to still be very active.  I think all the Chinese food we were served during the times we ministered in Australia has aided to our life span.  We appreciate receiving the bulletin each week. 

In Christian love,

Pastor Bob and Patt Vandermey, USA
