1989-Present

Judson Baptist Church

Republic of Singapore

In 1988, a few Christian families living in Singapore organized weekly worship services rotating from house to house. During this period Rev. Gam Shee from Chiangmai, Rev. Jeffery, Rev. Mawya (Bishop) and Rev. Labar visited to lead the worship services and provide regular preaching. After the 8-8-88 upheavals, more Christians from Burma immigrated to Singapore for work and security. As the congregation grew, so did discussions about the development of a Burmese Christian church. The formal search for the venue and pastor began late that same year. The Singapore Burmese Christian Fellowship came into existence in 1989 after Rev. Jeffery introduced Pastor Augustus to the Burmese Christian community as the first pastor. 

In 2004, the name Singapore Burmese Christian Fellowship was changed to Judson Baptist Church Singapore. Today JBCS has two pastors: Rev. Augustus and Rev. Myo Thu and some 300 church members. Traditional ministries in music, women, youth and Sunday school serve the constituents and the community.[1]
