Abraham Yeo of Homeless Hearts of Singapore (HHOS) shares the stories behind the statistics, and a call for the Church to see, and love, the homeless among us. "People do not become homeless because they run out of resources—they become homeless because they run out of relationships." Will the rest of the Church rise up to reap, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together? Because the homeless are not a problem to be solved—they are a people to be loved.

Happy 61st birthday, Singapore! We're home to many races, languages and stories, yet woven together as one nation. On this birthday, let's pray for that unity to grow even stronger, in our homes, our communities and our nation. We lift up our leaders, that they'll be guided with wisdom. We lift up the Church, that we'll be witnesses of love in word and deed. And we lift up Singapore, that she'll continue to be a place of peace and hope for all who call her home. See the full prayer by Bishop Philip Lim here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DbznGlBjFju/ #SG61 #SingaporeNationalDay #HappyBirthdaySingapore #NDP2026

Is age really just a number? Dr Roland Chia shares, "The biblical view of old age is both realistic and radiant. It is realistic because it does not sugarcoat decline. It is radiant because it emphasises the dignity of the elderly and their continuing role in the community and society." Dr Roland Chia is Chew Hock Hin Professor of Christian Doctrine at Trinity Theological College and Theological and Research Advisor at the Ethos Institute for Public Christianity.

In her 40s, a woman may notice something shifting—fatigue, disrupted sleep, mood swings—and she can’t quite name it. It’s menopause, yet even though every woman will experience this, it is a topic rarely discussed. Drawing on insights from Dr Tay Ruixin, Rebecca Yong and Dr Adriel Rao at a recent WSCS talk at Wesley Methodist Church, Grace Tan explores what it means to steward the body and mind through this transition with compassion rather than criticism. Grace Tan is a communications professional and worships at Wesley Methodist Church where she serves in the floral ministry.

Just as Abraham did in Genesis 25:5-6, it is biblical to do estate planning—that is, deciding how your money and assets are to be divided when you die. The following is gleaned from a presentation by estate planning attorney Angelo Cabrera at the N5 Conference in 2022,1 a Kingdom-focused conference on personal finance. Mr Cabrera shared his wisdom on how to leave not just wealth but a true legacy to the next generation.

Our churches are made up of people from different age groups. Each generation has their different views, their different experiences and different concerns. As churches increasingly embrace intentional intergenerational ministry, creating spaces where young and old learn, serve and worship together, these differences are not always easy to navigate. However, this August, Bishop Philip Lim reminds us that "the key to longevity in ministry is reciprocal learning: seniors offer wisdom, pastoral insight and vocational guidance; younger members bring fresh energy, technological savviness and new cultural engagement." May we all look past our differences and focus on loving one another, and serving the Lord together in unity.
