Tribute to Peter Hanscampe

FB_IMG_1507549677881The late Peter Hanscampe was the first to be appointed as the Asia Pacific Regional Director in early 2000. He was teaching and pastoring in Singapore when he came into contact with CBSI through the Woodlands CBSI class.

Peter was really a pastor at heart and his care and love for the team in Asia Pacific was greatly appreciated and cherished. Peter had made many visits to Malaysia and would always stay with the Davids while they were in Sabah and then later in Kuala Lumpur. Peter encouraged CBSI Malaysia to be formally registered and to see that it would operate on its own.  He was really pleased that he was able to see the CBSI Board instituted and commissioned the Board of Directors under the Chairmanship of Datuk Rev Dr. Yeoh Beng San and the commissioning of the National Director.

Peter ably led the Asia Pacific team for many years and through many conferences building a strong bond amongst the team.

It was sad to hear of Peter’s passing away early this year. CBSI Malaysia thanks God for the life and ministry of Peter and Mathilda Hanscampe.

May they rest in peace. We will meet again!

CBSI Malaysia gives thanks to God for his faithfulness and grace in the last 20 years. Rev Fred David, who was on a Sabbatical in Austin, Texas 1996-1997, came across a CBS class at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church outside Austin. He was impressed at what he saw, as he was looking for something in strengthen his training of Evangelists in Sabah, Malaysia. He was put in touch with Earl and Betty Reeves who were Calebs and overseeing the CBSI ministry in South East Asia. Earl and Betty then trained Rev Fred in Singapore and that led to the first CBSI class in Malaysia in the Interior of Sabah in 1998

CBSI Malaysia recognizes the great and valuable contribution by the Reeves. We thank God for their love for God and his people. Their warmth and willingness to just to see people getting into God’s Word.

Earl and Betty, you are fondly remembered by the early CBSI team. Thank you and God give you health and joy in the days ahead.
