Testimony Page 4 Book Launch by Senior Pastor Daniel Foo “Running with Horses is not a book for the faint-hearted. It is not for those who accept mediocrity as a standard of Christian living. Instead, it is written for those who desire to be strong, able to run and triumph through their Christian faith as empowered by the Lord." Ong Guek Ju Principal, Tung Ling Bible School On Anniversary Sunday (2nd November 2014), we are pleased and proud to launch a book written by our very own Senior Pastor, Daniel Foo. Entitled “Running with Horses: A Road Map to Victorious Living”, the book provides keys and handles from Scripture, and lessons from decades of ministry on how we can protect, strengthen and enlarge our capacities to grow in our walk and service with God. Using the prophet Elisha's journey with Elijah, he brings the believer through four significant milestones to present a personal road map towards victorious living, showing how we can be empowered to impact and influence lives for His glory. The book will be sold at a special rate of S$11 for BBTCians ONLY on Anniversary Sunday (Today) and the following Sunday (9th November 2014). There is also a special rate of S$50 for 5 copies of the books. Educators Lunch with Senior Pastor If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well.
