Lord’s Day, Vol. 12 No. 40
Thank God for Faith and Good Recovery
It was on 5 September 2024 when a visitation was made to Mdm. Tan Gim Tin was in the hospital where she was baptised. It was the day when she was suffering greatly with the discomfort of a feeding tube, nursing a fracture and weakness having suffered a stroke on 24 August 2024 just before her planned discharge from the Community Hospital. Thank God for granting her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and healing from her dire physical condition.
On 3 October 2024, another visitation was made to present to Mdm. Tan her baptism certificate. When the chorus “God Will Take Care of You” was sung, she could sing along.
Mdm. Tan Gim Tin fell at home and injured her head, right wrist and thigh on 26 June 2024 and was admitted to the hospital. She had a hip replacement operation on 28 June 2024 and was very frail. She was not eating well and was on drip. On 1 July 2024, there were some improvements, she was able to eat a third of her lunch. On 15 July, she had a swollen right leg as a result of blood clots. On 3 August 2024, she suffered from a bacterial infection and was resistant to normal antibiotics.
Thank God for granting faith in the Lord Jesus Christ to Mdm. Tan Gim Tin. Since her confession of faith in Christ and baptism on 5 September 2024, she has been very calm and at peace. She wanted to meet her elder brother Mr Tan Kay Guan in heaven!

The 7am Service

Thank God for His grace in blessing our gathering on this early morning hour of worship. Thank God for the brethren joining us online via our “live” webcast and repeated webcast during the day.
