Sibu Has Lost An Outstanding Political Leader

YB Datuk Robert Lau Hoi Chew's demise was a shock in Sibu.

Although Robert Lau was controversial at times in his political career, he was admittedly a charismatic leader. His contributions to Sibu during his tenure as MP of Sibu are noteworthy.

My salute to an outstanding Sibu leader!

The news of Stephen Tong's Evangelistic Rally In Sibu came out in Sin Chew Daily yesterday. According to the press release, the evangelistic rally has been scheduled to be held on 10th and 12th of May at Sibu Town Square. The evening of May 11 has been set aside for Q&A during which audience may pose questions to Stephen Tong.

The evangelistic rally is jointly organised by Stephen Tong Evangelistic Ministries International and Kuching Reformed Gospel Fellowship (古晋归正福音团契). Let us give them a big hand for the tremendous efforts to bring Rev. Dr. Stephen Tong to come to Sibu to let the words of God to speak through him.

The organiser plans to gather 30,000 Sibuians to turn out for the rally. It is truly a spiritual challenge! The organiser needs a lot of you to put hands together, especially in prayers.

It is compelling for all God-loving Christians to give their prayer support to the evangelistic rally. Make it your daily prayer item to call upon God to move more lost souls to step forward to the rally.

Rev. Dr. Stephen Tong shall be in Sibu in May for a large-scale evangelistic rally to be held at Sibu Town Square. This is heartening to all those who are thirsty for God's words.

Stephen Tong is an Indonesian Reformed evangelist, Theologian and Christian philospher. A high-powered preacher, Stephen Tong's sermons touched the hearts of millions of people over the 50 years of his ministry.

In 1975 when Stephen Tong first came to Sibu, God spoke through him to thousands of Sibuians in Xin Fu Yuan Methodist Church. The Holy Spirit was at work to uplift and move countless of brothers and sisters during the rallies.

May God lead through the upcoming evangelistic rally of Stephen Tong and set the Holy Spirit to work to the fullest.

During his last trip back, he promised to share some of his lovely shots in Russia....

Good Friday in Solomon Islands 2010

It was a wonderful experience serving lord together with Peter Goh in MAF of Sibu East District in the years 2007 and 2008. I cherish the very brotherly fellowship at the MAF with Peter.

Over the years in MAF, I came to know Peter as a good brother who is obliging and multitalented. You might be taken by surprise to learn that Peter is a skilled carpenter although he worked as a radio station technician.

Peter shared with me his first Good Friday in Solomon Islands. He came across this Good Friday procession showing cross-carrying Jesus Christ being whipped by the Roman soldiers.

Calling From Far-Away Solomon Islands


Two days ago I had this call by Peter Goh from far-away Solomon Islands with a heartwarming touch.
Peter informed us at the beginning of the year that he would be leaving Sibu for a new venture after Lunar New Year. Deep down in my heart I wished Peter all the best.
Energetic and talented as Peter is, I am sure God has designed a purpose for him to move on. Now in Solomon Islands, I have confidence that Peter would serve Lord equally well.
Peter, please move on with mighty steps!

Good Friday 2010


We went to The Masland Methodist Church for Good Friday church service this morning with a heart laden with grief over the sufferings that our Lord Jesus Christ endured for the sake of our sins.
The front page of the programme sheet carries Romans 5: 7-8 which reads: Indeed rarely will anyone die for a righteous person - though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. But God proves His love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.
Let us reflect on the verse.
