Time really flies… without my
realization, I have been serving in LCA for more than 8 months. Thanks for the
prayers of Diocesan Bishop and the support I have from Christ Church Melaka
especially Bishop Jason and Rev Jun Jer. Through their blessings and spiritual coverings,
God sustained me in the progress of my ministry in LCA.
Apostle Paul says, for I am not ashamed
of this Good news about Christ, it is the power of God at work, saving everyone
who believes (Romans 1:16). This proclamation has been my encouragement and
motivation force for outreach work. I believe this powerful Gospel would be
spread far and wide. However, preliminary work needs to be done.
As God sees relationship as His top
priority, my ministry began with connecting myself to the people in the
community. Under God’s guidance, I connected myself to Tampin, Gemencheh and
Gemas community in many ways. Social network is one of the means I used to
relate myself to the people. I joined the Tampin community through Facebook
which provides me a platform to interact with the community.

Besides that, I make effort to
visit patients whom I met in General Hospital. This is done with good will, not
only I could follow up their conditions but also show concern to them
particularly the old and the sick. Under God’s guidance, I visited Mr Low Bock
Teck, 65 years old, who is an asthma patient undergoing medical treatment in
Tampin General Hospital. From his initial suspicious attitude towards me, now
he has changed himself to sharing life experience with me. Praise the Lord!
Pray that I could connect myself to
more people in Tampin, through this gesture of love I would connect them to
Jesus Christ. Meanwhile, God did His wonderful work in Gemas too. I was given
an opportunity to visit Mr Lu Ting Yi.（陆庭谕）. He is
respected by Malaysian Chinese for safeguarding Chinese Education in the 60’s.
There are three main Defenders or Heroes of Chinese Education, namely Lin Lian
Yu（林连玉）,
Sheng Mu Yu （沈慕羽）and him. Mr Lu is the only surviving
leader and enjoying his green old age at 85.

Mr Lu is open to gospel and
welcomes my visit. From now on, I would make frequent trips to Gemas. My focus
is to strengthen Lu in his faith. I know that if he were to commit to Christ
wholeheartedly, his testimony would bring impact to the Chinese community in
Malaysia. He is only free and available at night, so pray for my journey mercy
when I make night travelling. At present, Lu’s close friends help him to
publish his biography and history and do personal recordings before his death. I
am invited by them to take part in some of this meaningful ministry.
