Dear brothers and sisters,

I pray that Jesus is the bottom line for all your decision makings in family, career, relationships, business, ministry, and mission. I pray that you get personal with Jesus in every sense.

I have been one week in Miri. It is excellent to be with my family and I enjoy every second of it. I see improvements in my 4 children's character. They are more responsible in doing house chores; more harmonious; and more cooperative.

My blood pressure has gone down a bit (130/90), though it is still slightly higher. I managed to reduce about 4kg this year! It is a tremendous boost to my health. My bad cholestrol is reduced, though it is on high side, the cholestrol level in my level is restored to normal; my uric acid level has gone down. This is a great news which encourages me for I take good care of my temple of God (where the Holy Spirit dwells) and I do not sin against Jesus by the sin of glutonny.

This morning I preached at Sekolah Menengah Kerajaan Lutong. I preached Jesus is the way to eternal life to over 300 students who will sit for SPM and STPM on Monday, teachers, and parents who are christians and non-christian. I emphasized the way of Jesus and come to Jesus to look for help in Jesus. I shared about how Jesus helped me to overcome my dyslexia by studying hard; how Jesus helped my son, Elliot, a dyslexic, to overcome his dyslexia. I shared about how I am not good in studies but I always study and work hard. I was invited to that school near my Miri home by my Form 6 (Sibu, Sacred Heart Secondary School) classmate, sister Magdalene Su. She was always the top student, and I asked the students to emulate her example.

Western Chess - An Excellent Fellowship with Rev Jatan
During the last week of my last semester, after I finished all the research papers, I acquired the skill of Western Chess. (By the way, my sincere thanks to brothers and sisters who pray for me during my stressful time of reading quite a few thousands of Christian literature and writing 5 papers of 10,000 words each. I experienced Jesus in a real personal manner in my research about how to become a Bahasa Malaysia speaking pastor)

Thank for Rev Jatan, an Iban speaking pastor from Sarawak Iban Annual Conference, a sister conference of Sarawak Chinese Annual Conference, where I belong, as a Methodist. I never forget the skill he taught me. That night, after the 2 defeats, I learn so much and I realized the western chess could be as complicated as the Chinese chess, if not more complicated. It is such a wonderful game which I should have learnt earlier! Anyway, I have no regret of learning it at my age of 45!

Though defeated in those 2 games, my relationship with Rev Jatan is very much closer. During those solid one and half hour, I need to imagine what he imagined. I need to enter his mind and tried to find out what he thought. That was fellowship. Also, after the game, we spent another hour sharing about ministry, learning in humility, and mutual encouragement. That was real close fellowship. He taught a few tricks and strategies in western chess.

Praise the Lord, I now have a very good grasp of the western chess. I came back to Miri, and I passed my western chess skill to my 3 younger children who are willing to learn from me. They feel good about defeating me as our standards are the same! They like to play with me because they beat their dad. As a result, I also experienced very good fellowship with them. I use western to train them to do social interaction, analysis, planning, and learning to take defeats and winnings in life.

I thank Jesus for sending Rev Jatan to teach me this great skill of Western chess. He may have achieved much more in me than he thinks as I also tell my children to teach his friends.
By all means, spend time with your family members and enjoy fellowship with them in chess, and other things you do for relaxation.

God bless.

A faithful disciple of Jesus,
Pastor Law Hui Seng
