Wow!!! Its amazing how through the years we have had the joy of meeting, ministering and being ministered to by so many hundreds of people from around the globe and its still happening.
During our recent trip to Perth, Manila, Singapore and KL we have been able to meet up with so many different ones and also minister to many new ones. It is especially touching for me to be able to meet my spiritual parents (Philip & Christina Chan) who were the founder of Hiding Place, a Christian drug rehab in Singapore, while we were in Perth. It was a real surprise since I didn't expect to see them there at all. Best of all, we met at the airport on arrival to Perth. WHAT A WELCOME!! The reunion was FANTASTIC. To top the surprise, we met a few others that I have ministered to in Kuching, East Malaysia, as well! The food and the fellowship was, or course, just wonderful. We are grateful to Tam and Chan (from our home church and home fellowship in Singapore) who hosted us for the week we were there. After being away from the Philippines for about 5 years it was defintely an emotional time when we met up with about 40 old friends and colleagues. It was a blessing to see what the Lord is doing in each of their lives. Em & Marilyn Namuco, Emmanuel Wong, Jun Diaz & family and a host of others. It is becoming a little exhaustive just trying to remember all the people we met in Singapore and Malaysia.
We have to confess that we failed to meet up with everyone that we wanted to or we ought to. Our time with both Bee Lee's and my parents have brought about a real concern for all their health. Your prayers are much cherished. Everywhere we went, we were blessed by friends and relatives. People are invaluable. We thank God for friends, family members and prayer partners. We did not only minister to different ones, but were also ministered to incredibly through all their love, care and generosity. I have to say that the blessings far outweigh the burdens that many talked about in terms of relationship building. WE WERE BLESSED!!! Indeed, we were blessed and we want to continue to avail ourselves to BE a blessing to as many people as the Lord brings into our path. Praise Him indeed.
If you have been reading this, please be in touch. If we can be a blessing of any sort let us know. Have a wonderful day with our Great God and saviour Jesus Christ.
IN His Wonderful Grace- Kenny Gan
