Do you know how many foreign workers reside in Singapore? Over 1.4 million! That’s about 1 foreign worker to 4 Singaporeans. Every day, we have the chance to meet some of them – in the MRT, in the hawker centre, in our neighbourhood. 

Jesus has called us to go make disciples of all nations. This is called the Great Commission. And here in Singapore, the Great Commission is right at our doorstep. 

God has brought the nations to us in Singapore! 

The majority of foreign workers in Singapore come from countries like Bangladesh, China, Cambodia, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Thailand. We can do missions right where we are!

We do missions unto Jesus. 

When we feed the hungry, comfort the broken-hearted and meet the needs of the poor, we are allowing them to experience Christ. That’s missions!

All of us can do missions! 

From today, let us all approach these brothers- and sisters-in-Christ that God has brought to us, to show them Jesus through our words and actions. 

Discuss

1. What daily needs of the foreign workers among us can you help to meet?

2. Together with your parents, find out where foreign workers can get help with their living, working and medical needs. Think about volunteering or donating to these places.

Pray

1. In the Bible, Jesus showed us what He did for the poor, the needy and the hungry. Pray that Jesus will help you do the same by showing His love to these brothers- and sisters-in-Christ.

2. Ask God what you can do to answer His call for every Christian to participate in the Great Commission.
