Gospel to the Unreached in LCA 3

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.

A joyous moment with Mr Low and his wife at their home.


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.

I visited Mr Lu Ting Yu in Gemas Baru, Johor.


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.
