The years were 1977/8
The Place: Jesus Saves Mission, Bkt Ho Swee, Tiong Bahru, Singapore
One evening after Sunday Worship we found out we had no money. No money to take bus fare back to SOM (School of Mission) in Admiralty Road, Sembawang
Both Paul & myself were from Malaysia. With S$80 for monthly allowance for food, expenses & transport we usually run out of money half way through the month
Rest of the time we live by faith
And so on this night we found ourselves with no money
But we had faith. Faith in the Invisible Living God
So lifting up his hand Paul prayed. Then I prayed
Dear Almighty God
Thank you for the wonderful time of Preaching & Teaching today. We rejoice in this time of Thy visitation in revival
Now your servants got need. Please help us and provide for our fares back to SOM
About 30 km distance away is our destination
Between that we had no money but only Faith in Him
30 km will be a long walk after serving God in Soul winning (12 noon) Adult Bible Study Class (3pm), Worship Service (4pm to 6pm) on a happy but tired day
As we walked towards Tiong Bahru to take the bus there. Almost more than halfway God sent His “angel” of deliverance in the person of bro Eng Thye (Now Rev Tan Eng Thye)
He paid for our fares just at the most crucial moment
Another Sunday evening and this time both Paul & I were in dire straits again. No money in our pocket. Not even one cent left.
This time I prayed and told Brother Paul to close in prayer asking for God’s deliverance
And this time we were led to take the Bus from Lower Delta Road which is only 2 minutes away from the Mission just across the Road
Just as we arrived at the Bus Stop God in His Divine Timing sent His “angel” in the person of Sis Rhoda Khoo. She ran after us and paid for our bus fares in the nick of time
GOD IS A GOD OF WONDER INDEED!
God moved people in mysterious ways to help us in the very crucial moment of time
We will always remember HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD
Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
