Wishes & Prayers for SG 60
For SG60 With Love
Below are Wishes and Prayers from EAST Community around the World for SG60:
I want Singapore to be strong and prosperous in the next 60 years, where her people live in unity and harmony. I want Singapore to be a nation where equity, integrity and truth are the foundations of everyday life; where there is no discrimination of race, colour, social status, individual ability or appearance. I want Singapore to be a community of love, where people look after one another and where generosity roars. I want Singapore to be a friend to her neighbours and a contributor to all efforts of peace around the world.
May God bless Singapore with strength and prosperity and give into her heart, equity, integrity and truth that she would live out in her everyday life. May God help her embrace everyone, regardless of race, colour, status, ability or appearance, with love and generosity and also bless her with friends from many shores and enable her to contribute to every effort of peace around the world.
• Chan Wei Har, Alumna, Singapore
I want Singapore to be a nation that acknowledge Jesus as Saviour and God. The spirit of the Lord moves in Singapore and turn back hearts to Jesus, the generation bow down to worship Jesus. Singapore will become a Mission sending nation, who send missionaries and bring the gospel to the edge of the world!
My prayer is for the spirit of God to be poured out upon Singapore, the fear of the Lord be upon every heart. The churches rise and preach Jesus! Praying for the generation to come back to Jesus. That the light of God push back the darkness, amen!
• Ps Charles Bessie, Alumnus, Indonesia
For more visionaries in Singapore government – people who do not consider prosperity as the only marker for successful governance.
Christian churches to come to the fore as things get really dark before Jesus’s return.

She is taking Master of Christian Education in his seminary and currently is also suffering from fibrosis on her lungs due to Covid-19. Please keep Su Beity in prayers for her recovery.
Prayer Pointers – 17 June 2021
”If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” – James 1:5, ESV
We have a perfect Father in Heaven who creates, knows, and grants us the best for our lives so that we can bring glory to Him. As we are beset by a world still grappling from multiple waves of Covid-19, O Lord, bestow upon us Your wisdom and guidance to live wisely and serve faithfully to glorify You.
