Kuala Kangsar Chinese Assembly




It had been years since I last visited Kuala Kangsar Chinese Assembly. I have almost lost touch with the saints there except one familiar brother Siang Ming. Two months back this brother called my hand phone to ask for some advice. This contact reminded me of their need.
On 19th.July 2009 I made a special visit to the church. Attended their Sunday worship service (at 1.30pm). There were only a handful of believers gathered for worhsip that day. There were 9 of them. one young teenager and one young sister Two brother, Siang Ming and a Mr.Lee. The rest were sisters in their senior ages.
There was no musician for the keyboard. However, they sang their best in worship. Mr.Lee preached the Word. I was also given a chance to encourage the saints. The meeting ended at about 2.45pm
Having seen the condition of KK Chinese Assembly I wondered why city churches could not extend to them a helping hand. I am also puzzled why we emphasise on overseas missions, going to help up other churches in their country and neglected to send workers to work among the existing country churches locally.Is it because it is grand to work overseas and not locally? Is it easier to gather financial support for overseas missions and not for local need?
I am not surprise if KK Assembly should one day be handed over to other denominations which can offer them help and sending workers to work among them. (Who does not want, with a ready property for use and to own?)
I hope city churches give heed to such cries of help!

BMGC Family Day at CCC Penang




It was a state public holiday on 11/7/09. Bukit Mertajam Gospel Centre had its Family Day at Penang CCC.
Though it was raining the leaders manage to keep the warm fellowship going. In fact, some 30 young people from the church tuition prject joined them also.
Kiwi was invited to speak to the church on this special day. The topic was "Fostering a Lasting Relationship in the Family".
Thank God for a timely message for remind both parents and children the need to build up strong family relationship right from childhood.After the preaching session they divided into groups for further discussion on the topic.
Priase God for such a wonderful time together.

AIGC Hokkien Service
















This is AIGC Hokkien service. I was there to speak at their Gospel meeting on 5/7/09
I am glad God has blessed the church with a new hall dedicated to the Hokkien meeting. It is simple but fully equiped with modern facility: good sound system, computer and LCD projector, piano and most important of all, leaders and congregation for the Hokkien ministry.
If ever any Brethren church wanted to understand what is church growth, AIGC is one church to visit.
It has warm fellowship, joyful spirit in the hearts of their members and leaders, excellent participation to win souls for the Lord, hearty singing and worship etc.
In such a gospel service you see birthday celebration, fellowship dinner, testimony time and also prayer for those who are seeking the Lord's blessing.

Visit To Cameron Highlands




I went to take meetings at Cameron Highlands Gospel Hall as usual on the fourth weekend of June. The difference this time is that my children came along in this trip.

They attended the Saturday evening session and also both the worship services in Tanah Rata and Ringlet on Sunday. My youngest daughter is in her final year at USM Penang. She had just completed her five weeks of teacher's practice and observation, my boy is working at Bukit Jalil KL. (My eldest daughter Ming Hoey is working now in KL.She did not join us.)

We took the opportunity to go about sight seeing during the free Sunday afternoon. A quality time together with the chidlren. It is also a time for my wife,Hai Yen to recapture her days in Camerons .

Thank God for such an opportunity to be with our grown up children.
