God Helped him stand up again

Thank God for the saints and the many ministries in Ipoh Garden Baptist Church. They are full of life and have great plan to win the lost for the Lord.

I was glad to have the opportunity to preach the Word in their midst. There was one brother Mr.Ho who witnessed how God had helped him to stand up again. He lost both his legs in an accident soem 30 years ago. Due to that accident he dear wife could not take it, and she left him. By God's grace, someone shared Christ with him. God touched his life and he accepted the Lord.

In faith he lived on and earn for his own living. By the grace of God, he met a lady who loved him, inspite of his handicap. They got married. God was so good to restore his life and he was able to live to testify to God's goodness.

Praise the Lord.

Finally....she made it through by God's grace.

Thank God, my youngest daughter Chia Hoey had her convocation on 7/8/2010 at USM Penang. She is geared for a teaching career. She had just gone for her interview with the Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia. Hopefully she will receive her posting early next year.

Presently she is working in a factory to gain some exposure of working life. She hopes that such experience will help to to counsel students more wisely in her future teaching career.

As parents we rejoice with Chia Hoey. We thank God for seeing our three children through their universities. All praises to the Lord on high.Amen.

Appointment of Elders--Cameron Gospel Hall

Pray that God will bless them as they lead and oversee the matters of the church.

Mr.Chin was the speaker of the day.

Cameron Mission House Project

Thank God the Cameron Mission House project is near its completion. Presently it is under interior finishing touch: tiling and plaster ceiling. Thereafter, followed by light fittings and other fixture. By end of 2010 the place will be ready for use.

In fact, we can begin booking for church family camp for 2011.
God willing NTGH English Assembly may want to book for 2011.

Pray for smooth completion of the project. Your contribution towards the building fund is welcome. So do send your gift to Cameron Gospel Hall if you are moved by the Lord to give towards this project.

Thank God for a good trip to Gopeng for the BRGH Chinese Family Camp (9-11 June.) Though it was right in the middle of a palm oil estate, the venue was good for a camp. In fact it is occupied most week ends. It is fully booked during holiday seasons.

Harvest Haven is also used for Bible school catering for students who are waiting for their SPM and STPM results (Jan-Feb each year.)

A God Blessed Week End 30/5/2010

I had a good day at Burmah Road Gospel Hall Chinese Assemnly,taking two meetings for the week end. When I returned to Nibong Tebal I had to get ready for the Vietnamese Wedding Service in NTGH English Hall.

A number of us represented the groom's side to bless the day. A few others represented the bride side to bless the day. It was such a memorial day---first Vietnamese Wedding in church.

I was asked to say the opneing prayer.

May God bless the couple.

Morib Trip Follow up

It was a great camp,well organised and active participation from members and church leaders.

Group discussion brought forth much benefit to the members. Even the younger ones are well occupied. They did a good handy work too.

Personally I believe a well plan One-day Camp can bring about the spiritual benefit to church members as much as a three-day camp. In fact, the busy schedule of church members would not allow time for a longer camp. Such a One-Day Camp is a alternative for them. I am sure church leaders can give a consideration to such posibility and to benefit church unity and church growth.

Morib One-Day Camp

I will be driving to Morib Impian Hotel to take up a camp organised by Janjarom Gospel Hall. It is held on 28/5 Wesak public holiday. I am expected to reach before 9am and the camp dismiss at 5pm. I hope to drive from 3am to reach at 8am. Pray for my safety on the road.

Knowing that I can never make it back to Nibong Tebal after break camp, I decided to put a night there and start my return journey well before lunch on 29/5. In fact Klang Gospel Hall would like to have me at their morning service on 30/5 but I have to speak at Penang Burmah Road Chinese Assembly on 30/5.

I will be taking a 3-day camp from 9-11/June organised by BRGH Chinese Assembly. Do uphold me in prayer. Thanks.

Thanks for your concern

Praise the Lord! A number of my supporters have been asking where is Kiwi? No news from him. Others are wondering what happened to Kiwi. Lately I have also received a card and a fellowship gift from Singapore Sewing Circle.

Once again many thanks for remembering me before God.

I am fine. However, having well past my 60th.birthday, it is time to slow down. More so after 33 years of fulltime ministry. It is time to get ready for my "old age".

Fruther more, my work is now in good hands....leaders are handling church administration, not me. Surely it is time to fall back to my "calling'....preaching ministry. Thus I am moving around with invitations to speak at various assemblies.

You may have heard that Kiwi has gone back to secular job. Not true.Kiwi has taken up tent making ministry. Some 10 years ago due to some misunderstanding, churches were led to believe that Kiwi has left the Assembly. All practical fellowship were cut. It was a tough time for me. It was a time that my children were growing up. Thus I had to fall back to do some small business to keep myself going.

Though badly hurt yet never give up. Thank God my children are all out of their universities,and had taken up jobs and actively involved themselves in church ministry. During this hard time, I had to see my wife to medical treatment for her SLE illness. It was tough time with almost everybody leaving me. Thank God for NTGH which backs me up all this while.

Nevertheless, I had not slack in anyway in the ministry. Thank God for the strength and the encouragement. And it was because of this "rejection" from the Assemblies, that I had decided to stop my KiwiNewsletters.

Do pray with me as I continue to serve the Lord in this last lapse of my life.

Impian Gospel Centre/Butterworth Gospel Hall YP

It is not easy to keep young people at our Youth Fellowship. You must have something interesting to hold them,otherwise, they will drop off from meeting.

If your number is too small to hold a meeting, how about combine with a nearby church? If you have man power problem, how about share your resources?

Butterworth has its YP combined with Impian Gospel Centre. Youth leaders made an effort to fetch the young people to meeting. The Youth leader at Impian Gospel Centre also made an effort to bring in their own YPs. They shared their resources, with leaders from both churches coming together to lead the YP Fellowship.

The objective is to keep the youths and help them to grow up in the knowledge of God. Sharing with them the gospel and winning them to Christ. What makes you so reluctant to combine your small youth congregation with that of a neighbouring church?

Thank God I was invited to speak to this group on 17/4 and I am glad to see so many of them. May God bless them.

A Trip To The South

I had my first trip to the south after serving fulltime for 33 years.

I was invited by Sedenak Gospel Hall to take two meetings on 10/4 and 11/4.

I thank God for the blessing of preaching His Word at this church. I am sure God has touched their lives. I also make an effort to visit Kulai Gospel Hall. Just wanted to know its whereabout. On the way back to Nibong Tebal, I made a special visit to Jasin Home for the Aged. I had the opportunity to encourage the sister who is serving fulltime at this Home.

In fact, it is common that people just forget those who serve fulltime among the Brethren. More so if you work among special ministry, not standing fore front in the church congregation. This jasin Home is a caring ministry initiated and operated by the Brethren churches.

Though the journey was tiring, driving from NT to Sedenak and returned the next day after the morning service, it was worth it. May God bless the churches in Sedenak, Kulai and Jasin.Amen.

Fusukang---Online Assembly Chinese Magazine

Hi my beloved supporters and prayer partners:

Just to inform you that the latest issue (No.9) of Fusukang is ready for reading online. You are welcome to visit www.fusukang.net if you read Chinese. This issue we discussed on the importance of Preaching Ministry, and how church leaders should plan their pulpit ministry well.

Elders are not just to fill up speakers every Sunday, but to plan and seek the Lord for wisdom to build up the congregation through preaching ministry, teaching ministry etc.

I hope to complet the second term in this Literature ministry. However, the Chinese Assemblies need to have new people ready to take over. Pray with us that God will raise up such team in years ahead.

My term expire on the next Elders Conference in 2011.

Masking

Masking means pretending to be what you are not. You are not a kind person, but for the sake of a certain political objective you tried to be nice and helpful. You are not caring but because you are a leader in a community, when certain event too place you tried to be caring and concern, paying visits to homes and orphanages.

Bible has a term for it: hypocrites.

Christians are suppose to be sincere and truthful in all they say and do. However, many are learning to have masking too. Being a pretender, he can be sensitive to people's comment and talks. Feeling insecure, he can go all out to slander and to destroy his opponents.

Christian must not have masking----- be true and sincere before the Lord.
What is slandering? Telling half truth with the intention to destroy the creditibility of a person. It is usually done out of jealousy and the spirit of vengence.

Are you real? Truthful? or Are you also a pretender?

Lost Generation

"There was no king (clear leadership)...and every man did whatever he thought was right."( Judges 21:25)

I think this verse is best to describe the condition is many churches, and in many individual live. A kind of "lost" feeling. How did the church of the Almighty come this state of situation? How can a believer drop to that low spirit?

If I may say, I would rather say we are not obedience to the teaching of the Word. We are not humble enough to follow God's way. We wanted our own way.

Imagine I was taking a meeting in a place some one hour driving distance away from my home. As the meeting come to a close, I heard the Lord saying, do not take their fellowship gift. Give towards their church fund. I need to sponsor my travelling expenses and food, however, I obeyed.

I was preaching in a meeting and I had the prompting from the Lord to declared that the leadership was not willing to listen to God but wanting smooth talk from man. So The Lord declared that I will not preach in that Sunday service anymore. Woh! That was serious. But after much struggling I obeyed. From then on I have not accepted any invitation from them.

My surprise is that instead of humbly checking before the Lord, man resort to "killing the prophet".

How "lost" can we be if we refuse to abide to the rule of the Lord. So is this lost generation. Return to the Word, and submit to the Lord. Life will spring up again with joy and much blessing.
