Dear brothers and sisters and friends of GMC,
Thank You
Praise the Lord I am back to write a few lines to encourage you again. Thanks for praying for me and my family and my mission team members during my Northern Thailand mission trip (16th to 23rd October, 2009) and Ulu Belaga missions (26th to 28th October).
Be A Pastor At Thailand
We reached out to Akha, indigenous people of northern Thailand. We were based at Ban Hin Theat, Chiang Rai. I focused on teaching leadership using International Leadership Institute material for 23 Akha pastors who take care of over 20 Methodist churches with 1800 baptized members. They were blessed by the 4 core values of intimacy with God; visionary leadership; multiplication of leadership and family priority. I taught in Mandarin and it was translated into Akha language. Most of them responded and said that they now became more certain of leaders should do. They even challenged me not become a pastor in Sarawak only. I should also become a pastor in Thailand.
Dangerous Mission Trip
For the Ulu Belaga Penan missions was also equally exciting and challenging. We drove through dangerous timber roads. One of our 4 wheel drive drop into the valley. We faced very dusty roads and stopped many times as we could see the road ahead. We were told there accidents every now and then. It was a dangerous missions where we required to trust God and pray much for protection and safety during the missions trip.
4 Missionaries Confirmed
We had successfully located the venue of stay for our future 4 missionaries (2 for long terms, 4 years, 2 for short term of 1 year). Praise one of them is a retired primary school principal. I had no doubt that they would do a good job. This afternoon we had a debriefing, one mission team member commented that with the presence of that retired principal, the Penan children in those 3 long houses (Long Singu, Long Menepa and Long Peran) will definitely experience changes in life and they will progress.
Go Back Again
The other objective we achieved was that all the mission team members of Hwai En, Yi En, Mei Ann, Grace and SMCGC Methodist churches promised to organize mission teams to go back to those long houses to support the missionaries. Next year, we now 8 teams confirmed going in.
Pray that SCAC will experience a great mission movement both locally and overseas. We really need to make disciples of all nations to the ENDS of the earth.

They really proved that they could do a good job. I am really encouraged to see the youths in mission.

Dear brothers and sisters of GMC and friends out there,
I had done Marriage Enrichment Seminar 6 years ago in Kuching. After that I was tasked to do follow-up with other 2 couples (pastors). We met for only one time and stopped because of the geographical reason. Praise the Lord GMC has 3 couples who attended the same seminar. Now, myself and my wife (Julia) can join them for follow up purpose. Last night, we joined them for the first time. It was very exciting and I felt supported by them. We confessed our failures and success in marriage. Then, we try to suggest how to help one another to improve. It is very honest and down to earth sharing.
This course is run by SCAC board of wellness (in mandarin) every year and I encourage you all to join.
Also, I would like to share that I really enjoyed my personal time with each one of my children after the 6A parenting seminar. I am doing my second round of Monday (my off day) one to one appointment with them. Today, I went out with Mercy (9 years old). It was such a privilege to be able to talk with her. She requested rojak and ABC, and both of us enjoyed it very much. I was able to challenge her to do better in this semester. She took up the challenge.
I pray that God bless your marriage and family.

Dear brothers, sisters and friends of GMC,
Praise the Lord that after 2 weeks, I now come back and write to you all again. For the last 2 weeks, I had gone to Singapore and Bintulu. In Singapore, I received mentoring from Bishop Solomon (Methodist Church) and I managed to see a few lecturers of Trinity Theological College. We catch up and renew our friendship. I felt very encouraged by them.
More than 2 weeks ago, I preached to about 30 non-christian chinese students in a school in Miri. Before I went I was briefed that they were Form 3 and 5 students, I need to motivate them to study. They had given up on studies and many of them had behavioural problems. I preached right there and then as the Holy Spirit prompted me. I shared about my bad childhood days and how Jesus transformed me. How I studied hard and made it to the local university. I really preached that for the sake of God and themselves, they must study hard and do not give up on themselves. At the end of it (after about 2 hours of preaching and interactions with them), I did not challenge them to accept Christ, instead, I challenge them to change themselves from absenteeism, laziness, unwillingness to study, etc, after a minute of persuasion, almost all of stood up and followed in prayer.
After the whole event, I quietly prayed to God to say to Him if there were 2 to 3 persons whose lives had changed, I was satisfied already. I did not call up the teacher to ask. Coincidentally, I met her at Imperial Mall on Friday night for a talk, she said that there at least 3 persons who became more attentive in her class after they listened to me. Praise the Lord for He changed them. I pray that the seeds I sowed in the others’s students heart will germinate and later on, they will come to know God and be saved.

Dear brothers, sisters and friends of GMC,
Praise the Lord, the bible has very clear instructions in Ephesians 5:22-33 to teach us how to treat husbands and wives. I have written the sermon this week to help us to see the precious space we all need in marriage. I pray that you are blessed by my sermon and the word of God.

Dear brothers and sisters and friends,
I find life is getting more and more exciting for me and my family and GMC and SCAC. This is especially so when I define everything I do in terms of Jesus.
My family is a happy and joyous family. All my 4 children are growing taller. They seem to improve in their studies. You know what my dyslexic son, Elliot, can even score 15 out of 60 marks for his BM essay. A lot of his classmates cannot that mark. I am so happy to see that he is trying hard. Praise the Lord and thank God for providing Julia to teach him patiently at home; for providing sister Jong to give him personal couching in writing essay; for sister Margaret Lee who is giving him tuition; for his BM teacher in school who encourages him; for the special teachers at Kuching who gave him closing couching in BM and English; for lots of others who encourage my son, etc.
Also, after the 6A parenting, praise the Lord I am able to make appointment to see each one of my children for a special meal and a personal time together, one to one. Normally, it is about one and half hour. I am very proud to do it and be their father. I enjoy my time with them. I find that each child is so special, unique and different. I believe later on as they grow up they will remember their dad for doing it.
Praise the Lord for many lives who have been transformed in GMC throuh the 9 month disciple course. Praise the Lord for people who received pre-marital counseling from me and my wife and benefit from us.
Praise the Lord for Jesus who has touched 5 lives to be missionaries to Ulu Belaga. Let us continue to pray for another 9 persons.
Jesus has made all the difference in my life and my family’s lives and in the life of brothers and sisters of GMC.
