About the Disciple

Its always interesting and challenging to see what others think about the Christian life and in particular about being a Follower or Disciple of Jesus. I am always challenged looking at my own walk with the Lord as I share with others about what I think and how I practice my discipleship. The outcome sounds very impressive and the testimony is always very touching. Of course we all know whatever glorious testimony we share it is not without struggles, battles and heartaches. The overcoming is always a blessing and an encouragement to somebody else. Realistically I realised that I must not only share all my blessings but also all my struggles, battles and heartaches. It is only because of the struggles, battles and heartaches that we can experience the victory. As I have always shared in the past, "There is no victory without battles", "There is no comfort without heartaches and sorrows", "We will not know what is calmness without the storm", So in all the struggles, battles and heartaches I can still rejoice knowing that the calmness, the victory and the comfort is there waiting for me. Praise the Lord.

Last weekend the Lord gave Bee Lee, Debbie and myself the privilege and the joy of fellowshipping with and ministering to, many Uni students. Their enthusiasm and their eagerness to learn and grow gave us new motivation to go the extra mile. Every single minute was worth it, though we may not see immmediate results.

I pray that the Lord will always remind me that it is to His glory that I am doing what I am doing. And I am what I am only by His grace. THANK YOU LORD!!

If you are reading this, rejoice in the Lord with me and give thanks to Him for His Great Goodness. All that I am and all that I have is from Him, and in Him will I rejoice. Thank you for many of you who have been praying for me and my family. Thank you for your partnership.

For Him
