06/21/2005: "Bank Account in Singapore"

For those who have asked me about the bank account number for Lukas' donation, here is the translation of what I got from Pastor Steven Phang in Singapore when I forwarded you all's questions:

Shalom,

We are still in the process to open a special account but it needs more time. The reason is we need to go thru few legal processes here when we open a special account. Coincidentally, our Legal Secretary is on leave at this time. Accordingly if it is needed, for the time being please transfer it to the church's account with a note that the contribution is for Lukas.

(Note: June 21, 10:10 PM. SORRY, I have just removed the A/C number due to security consideration. If you need it, please email me at atanone at hiwaay dot net).




Here is our bank information:

New Beginning Church Ltd
United Oversea Bank
Mt. Elizabeth Branch.
Account number: xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx

Lord Jesus Bless
Ps Steven Phang.

Please bear in mind that for small donations, the money could end up in bank charges both here in the U.S. as well as in Singapore. Please check with Rev. Phang if there is other option. I have also received few questions from Indonesia. May be they can email Rev. Phang at steven at mynbc dor org and ask if there is any possibility to donate to account in Indonesia to reduce the bank charge than if it's directly transfer to a Singaporean bank. The other possibility is to check, how much Paypal would charge if it is sent thru paypal. For those who knows Paypal information concerning overseas payment, please let us know.

Here is the original email in Indonesian:


Shalom,
Kita masih dalam proses pembukaan Bank Account khusus, tetapi perlu
beberapa waktu lagi, karena sini untuk Account khusus begitu perlu
beberapa proses legal. Kebetulan Legal Secretary kita lagi on leave.
Jadi kalau memang perlu, bisa ditransfer ke account gereja dulu. Buat
catatan bahwa itu untuk Lukas.

Informasi bank kita:
New Beginning Church Ltd
United Oversea Bank
Mt. Elizabeth Branch.
Account number: xxx-xxx-xxx-x

Tuhan Yesus memberkati,
Ps Steven Phang

Untuk yang dari Indonesia, tolong email Pastor Steven Phang dan tanya apakah mungkin donasinya ditransfer ke bank yang ada di Indonesia untuk mengurangi biaya transfer.
