Thank God for His guidance and
leading in several areas of my ministry. Although I encountered some cold
responses from the people whom I met, the Lord encouraged me tremendously through
some progress accomplished by Him.
Tampin is an area where God has done
wondrous work. I have been praying for this district so that people here would
turn their hearts to the living God. Under His guidance, I made visits to
patients in Tampin General Hospital with my wife Shally. Many patients there were
impressed by our visits. They were happy to engage in conversation with us.
Through the visits, we came to know
the needs of Tampin people. There was a boy just 8 years old, who was
ill-treated and abused by his own mother, admitted to hospital while waiting
for interrogation by Welfare Department. He was a smart boy studying in Chinese Primary
School. We offered to give him free tuition if his parents allow us to do so.
Pray that God will bless his family and give us opportunity to serve the needy.
Apart from Tampin, God also opened
way for me in Gemas and Gemencheh gradually. I succeeded in meeting up with my
ex-colleague, Mr Ng Kim Bong, a retired Nanyang Siang Pau reporter who stayed
in Gemas Baru. He was excited to see me
since I left press office for full time ministry 12 years ago. He is open to
Christianity and attended church service before. I was welcomed into his home and
Ng promised to help me identify the poor and needy residents in Gemas for my
ministry there.
In Gemencheh, God led me to come
into contact with Mr Fong Yong Wei, a Christian who served as a volunteer in
Gospel Hall Jasin. My meeting with him was a joyous and encouraging occasion. He engaged in the youth
ministry through basketball game with the teenagers and youths in Gemencheh. I
shared with him my plans of serving the elderly community there to which he
agreed to give me a helping hand.
Lastly, the Sunday service in St
Chad’s saw the attendance of few new faces. Mostly are elderly Chinese
residents who encountered problems in life and came to church to be prayed for.
I am thankful to God for enabling me to serve the needy people there. Pray that
St Chad’ will be a beacon to Kg Geddes community, more and more people will be
attracted to God’s House for eternal Gospel and salvation of their soul.
