The Far Eastern Bible College reopened on January 3, 2007 with a Day of Prayer and Registration. The new semester saw the matriculation of nine new students: (1) Yeob Biswas (Bangladesh), (2) Chun Hae Jung (Korea), (3) William Goh Boon Kai (Singapore), (4) Jeong Hyeon Heni (Korea), (5) Kim Hyeon Woo (Korea), (6) Lee Ji Hyun (Korea), (7) Tranh Thi Kim Hoa (Vietnam), (8) Daud Latif (Indonesia), and (9) Samson Hutagalung (Indonesia) who earned his BTh in 1999 and MDiv in 2001 has returned for his ThM. Total enrolment currently stands at 119 day-time students from 18 countries. A combined total of 266 students registered for the Basic Theology for Everyone night courses—"Calvin’s Institutes I" and "Book of Genesis" taught by Dr Jeffrey Khoo and Dr Quek Suan Yew respectively.

We were privileged to have Miss Kimiko Goto to share a word of encouragement to the college family. Miss Goto graduated from FEBC in 1984 with a BTh, and went on to earn her MDiv and ThM from Biblical Theological Seminary (USA). She is a missionary to Indonesia, having served for seven years in Kalimantan, and then nine years in East Java, lecturing at the Aletheia Theological Institute. She intends to conclude her ministry in Indonesia this August to begin a new ministry in Japan, her home country.

We thank the Lord for Bethel B-P Church (Melbourne) who has released the Rev Stephen Khoo to teach Eschatology and Homiletics this semester. Rev Khoo earned his BTh from FEBC, MDiv from Grace Theological Seminary (USA), and MA from Pensacola Christian College (USA). He is also a member of the FEBC Board of Directors.

Mrs Janice Lai Ching Fun was appointed tutor in Church Music (wef April 18, 2006), and conducts the choir class. She holds music qualifications—ACLM, LLCM (TD)—from the London College of Music, and the MRE from Far Eastern Bible College. She is currently a Master in Sacred Music (MSM) candidate at Foundations Bible College, USA.
