Tee Poh Chye
“YES & AMEN”
Calvin responded
Rev Peter Tan
I thank you for your great hospitality all those years in Spore
yes I forgotten you got saved in 1975 until you brought it back to my dim memory of old
shalom brother
Rev Peter Tan (Puritan!) replied
“ALL GLORY BE TO GOD!”
From bro Simon Chong
“Bro Calvin, need to tap on your memory. When was the JSM Conference in Singapore and Rev Bob Jones attended?”
Calvin cut & pasted:
Jesus Saves Mission – The 80s
The highlight of 1980 in the history of JSM must have been its hosting of the World Congress of Fundamentalists (16-23 Nov). For the occasion JSM raised a 120-strong choir, with many of the choir members also serving as hosts/hostesses to the Congress delegates. That week saw many friendships made which proved permanent. Immediately after the Congress, Dr. Bob Jones III conducted a few nights of evangelistic meetings, challenging sinners to be saved and saints to be strengthened. Rev. Stephen Koe, Rev. Matthew Koo and Rev. James Tan were also ordained that week.
Maybe that Camp on St John island not 1980??
From Simon Chong
“Ah yes you are indeed resourceful. Thank you”
(Or more forgetful after 40 misty years have passed “Calvin”)
Simon Chong
Yes, that could be the reason why i was not there. I was doing my NS.
Calvin responded
sorry for the confusion
now when was that Camp??
AFTER ALL THE MUSINGS AND WONDERINGS

All glory and praise to God
