Singapore Centre for Global Missions

25/05/2026

Singapore is a nation of migrants (31.3% of our total population!), and so we must learn to be a blessing to those who have come to us from across the globe, whether individuals and families to live, work, and study — some for a season, others for the long term.

In this inaugural National Diaspora Forum, we seek to answer the question: “How can we, as the Church, respond in love, respect and care to the nations among us?"

✨ An evening Lecture with REV DR SAMUEL LAW, Associate Professor of Intercultural Studies and Dean of Advanced Studies in Singapore Bible College.

🔎 The 1910 World Missionary Conference, held in Edinburgh Scotland, was a landmark event focused on global missions. It was an ecumenical, international conference of about 1,200 delegates who were overwhelmingly European or North American. The one characteristic that is vastly different in the early 21st century compared to the 1910 Edinburgh conference is that the global church is now geographically extant. There is no longer “the ends of the earth" (it's Indonesia from Edinburgh!). How does this then shape the concept of missions and the roles of churches and mission agencies today?

Join us as we discern and adapt to find new footings and functions within the mission structures in today’s changed and still-changing landscape.

📅 30 APRIL 2026, THURSDAY
🕣 7:30PM-9:30PM
📍 Singapore Bible College (9-15 Adam Rd)

✨ An Introduction to Entertainment Media as a Mission Field

🌍 The Great Commission calls us to "go into all the world." But what happens when the "world" is not a geographical location, but a digital one — a world of gamers, streamers, and storytellers shaping the imaginations of new generations?

📍Reaching the nations today also means reaching new audiences through the stories they already love. But where and how can we begin?

Come explore with us in this conversation:
🎬 Missions in the digital entertainment space
🌐 Transmedia storytelling — one story via many platforms (film, books, games, and social media)

We will hear from I AM LOGOS, a Creative Entertainment Company with a bold mission: to bring the Word of God by building story-worlds where His truth can be encountered, experienced, and lived.
⸻
✨ Join us as we reimagine and rethink what it means to be a missionary in a digital age.

There are more people on the move today for migration, work and refuge, than at any other time in world history. Churches in Singapore should be aware and be involved in God’s mission of serving and reaching people on the move, because migration has been a feature of the people of God since incept...

Footsteps of Faith ✨

Faith pervades the birth narrative of Jesus like footprints on sand – distinctly at times, imperceptibly at others. Let’s follow its trail:

See a young, virgin girl submit herself in faith to the startling angelic announcement that she is to bear the Son of God by the power of the Holy Spirit. See an older, experienced priest articulate unbelief that God could actually answer his prayer for a child, a prophet who would prepare the way for Messiah. The angel sentences him to temporary silence for his word of doubt. (Luke 1:38 and 1:13, 18-22.)

The faithful Joseph on the other hand trusts and bears the shame of his wife’s pregnancy outside wedlock, learning later that the child in her is not the fruit of her unfaithfulness, but is the fulfilment of the hope of Israel. Later, he heeds the voice of prophetic warning and leads his blessed family to seek refuge in Egypt to wait out the hellish rage of Herod.

We read of sleepy shepherds heralded by angels, who then make haste to find the baby, and then rejoicing, become his first evangelists! We also read of foreign-tongued magi trusting a heavenly sign to lead them to the king of the Jews.

When God wants to do a work, he looks for men and women of faith to partner with.

Our faith towards God in turn demonstrates our submission and alignment with God’s will and wisdom. Indeed, “… without faith, it is impossible to please (the Lord) ….” (Hebrews 11:6).

In his earthly ministry, faith was the one quality Jesus found sorely lacking in Israel and in his disciples time and time again. (Matthew 6:30; 8:26; 14:31; Mark 6:5-6, etc.) He marvelled when he found it in a Roman Centurion (Luke 7:9). He questioned if he would still find it in his future return (Luke 18:8). He called us nevertheless to have faith in God. (Mark 11:22; John 14:1).

This Advent and Christmastime - let us look afresh at the story of Jesus’ nativity and see the exercise of faith by the various characters in the story.

And then in return, may we commit afresh to being people of obedient faith who are found faithful in Christ.

The universe is vast and profound beyond our wildest imagination. We launch celestial telescopes to probe and peer with wonder and mystery into vast chasms of uncharted interplanetary space. We yearn to look and understand the highest heavens, yet, frivolously avert the inward gaze into a world of wonder within us.

In the space inside us, the sound of silence is deafening. It drives us mad. And so we flitter and flutter about from one thing to another, trying to quench and pacify existential angst - an itch that will not be scratched away. Some relentless, haunting longing for truth and worth that will not fade away like yesterday’s fashion; a persistent yearning for something bigger than us, that will truly be our making. That central jigsaw piece still missing in a puzzle left frustrated and unfinished.

Loud the sounds and captivating the music that people engineer and contrive to drown and distract from the echoes of that obdurate and ever-present void - a love-shaped hole that neither science, sensuality nor sorcery can plug.

You were made for love. A love that is divine. Love for and by a Person so great, the vast heavens He made could not fit him. But He loved one such as you, because He made you for love. For He is love, true and ultimate – and His love reaches out to you. It is a love that acts.

‘You cannot take love as a word; you must take it as an attitude and an act, or you haven’t got it. Love makes itself into arms and hands and feet or it isn’t love.’ (E. Stanley Jones, missionary to India).

Love took on flesh and bones and a human face one historic day in Israel. Love came, love gave, love died and rose again for the sake of people the world over. Love that can completely fill you and remake you in its image.

Love – a Person you can meet and know.

His name is Jesus.

"O Love, that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
O Cross, that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be."
(George Matheson)

WWJHMD!

Do you remember what WWJD stands for? The phrase "What Would Jesus Do?" in its abbreviated form was made popular on wristbands and as a slogan in the 1990s, based on Charles Sheldon's 1896 novel "In His Steps" which carried the phrase.
While we should ask such a fundamental question, perhaps a better slogan for disciples of Jesus should be WWJHMD...

"What Would Jesus Have Me Do?"

As disciples of Jesus, it behooves us to major on the things that Jesus majored on, and Jesus calls us to heed his call and follow his footsteps of living for the Father's glory. Obedience is the true test of discipleship (Luke 6:46, Matthew 12:50).

The goal of the church is ultimately not to produce better church members for the benefit of our ministries or denominations, but to make and equip kingdom-seekers and disciple-makers for the sake of transforming the world.

The Lord of the universe wants us to do more than produce smug, Bible-reading converts that know they are saved in Jesus and have a home in heaven when they die; who sing songs, give offerings and populate our buildings once or twice a week.

The Church is more than a cozy club for the converted. Jesus has a far nobler and comprehensive vision for His Church – we are part of God’s great search-and-rescue team, His transformative agents to reach and renew the earth for His purpose.

And for this, he needs you to play your part, to answer his call to be disciples who heed his word and do his bidding daily. Today, WWJHMD.
