Deep in December, Jumping into January

Roland and I (YK) spoke twelve times – at church, the YMCA, two Christmas parties, four youth camps, our 400-strong campus conference, and a wedding in Hong Kong (where I spoke for Sonia, a staff I’d mentored for years).
Our church also had three days of gospel campaign where we served as counselors. Praise God that 60 persons received Christ.
But it was not all work and no play.

It’s a special privilege

It brings us great joy reaching out to teenagers and campus students (this year I spoke 21 times to youth and campus groups). Teaching seminary students at EAST brings with it another kind of satisfaction. Here we mentor people who have already made that commitment to serve Christ. It’s a special privilege to help shape the hands and hearts of these future shepherds, missionaries, and church-planters.

Whatever your hand finds to do

During the last two months, we attended five funerals of five men.
Two of the men died suddently. Two struggled with long illnesses but accepted the Lord before they died. Roland led one of them to Christ three years ago and baptised him in his home.
The only one who had a non-Christian funeral was the grandfather of one of my (YK) Sunday school students. He had a heart attack. His funeral service — a Hindu ceremony — was unforgettable. Read more

We felt very grateful

LAST week, Julienne graduated with a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts (honors, second upper) degree in Visual Communications. As we watched her walk across the stage to received her degree, we felt very grateful.
That this gentle and talented human being is our child and God’s child.
That our Heavenly Father had provided for all her needs (we had only enough for her first year when she started).
That throughout the four years at NTU, she had lacked nothing: joy in learning, grace through the many lonely nights of projects and computer crashes, and solid Christian friends.
Above all, we are grateful that God has given our daughter a heart to obey Him. Next month, Julienne will spend ten days in Japan to reach out to abused and abandoned children.

“I’m 31 years old; can I be a baby again?”
Posted by jaclyn on June 1, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Battsenger said, when I (YK) shared the gospel with her.
The manager of the GoldStar Hotel, where we stayed during our 10-day trip in Ulaanbaatar (UB), was my “man of peace” (Luke 10:6).
Every day, she would check if we had enough hot water (temperature between -3°C and 20°C). One evening she prepared for us Indian curry (she’s married to a Pakistani). Another day, she surprised me by doing all my laundry, and at no cost.
Though she didn’t receive Christ through my sharing, I know Battsenger’s salvation is near. “You have something special,” she told me.
When I replied that the “something special” is Jesus in me, she nodded. “Yes, I know,” she said. “My maid, who’s the purest person I’d ever met, has the same thing.”
“She’s also a Christian.”
On our last evening, I introduced Battsenger to Boggii, a local worker who would follow her up. Here’s the amazing thing: when the two women met, they realized they were neighbors 30 years ago in Hovd, a village 1,500km from UB.

- Jeremy Chew: Open door for the Word (PDF, 532kB) The Mongolians not only opened their door to welcome the Word of God. They also opened their hearts to us. They received us with warm friendship, food and gifts that were beyond their means. We might have taught them the New Testament, but they showed us how to live it.
