林义忠大拍卖! GT Lim’s great auction!

我一向来都很蒙福、蒙恩宠。。。所以家里也堆积了很多礼物、用品等等,很多都没真正或极少用到。。。
虽然有好一些都是别人送我的东西,但基于有时候“以事为本”,觉得如果硬是因可惜或感情就把东西留在家里堆积灰尘,而不把它们送给人简直很浪费。。。而且有一些收久了也坏了,不能用了更可惜。。。

所以眼看教会要建堂需要庞大经费,我就决定再舍不得也要把这些东西捐出来拍卖,筹到的每一分钱都充作教会建堂基金,何乐而不为?

I have always been very blessed and favoured… that is why my house is full of presents, items etc which many I do not even have a chance to use or very seldom use…
Though most were gifts from people, due to the fact that sometimes I am “task-oriented”, I feel it is such a waste if  just because I feel reluctant to give them away due to sentimental or whatever reason, I keep all these at home to collect dust… and true enough some of these things are spoilt after keeping them for some time and they cannot be used anymore, that is really a waste!

Therefore, seeing that our church is in need of a huge fund for our church-building project, I decided against my reluctance to donate all these things to be auctioned off and to contribute every cent towards the church-building fund, isn’t that a wonderful idea?

结果,3月19日(五)我们教会就举办了一个空前的牧师个人物品拍卖会。。。
So, on March 19th (Fri), our church had an unprecedented auction sale for Pastor’s personal items…

当然这种大事需要专人来相助,我们拍卖会幕后主脑与筹备人,万人迷但钮杰(左)。。。帅哥呐喊主持高尊,和有尖叫美女之称的骆驼小姐都前来相助。。。
Of course such big occasion we really need experts to come and help, the mastermind and organiser behind this great auction, the lady-killer Daniel J(left)… handsome loud-voiced chairman Gao Zun and the renowned high-pitch beauty Miss Camel Tay were there to help too…

起初真的很担心东西没人要买会很“漏气”,结果反应真的是超乎众人所想象!反应非常热烈!当晚大家都拼命叫价抢购每样物品。。。
At first we were worried that it was going to be very embarrassing if nobody was interested to buy any of my things, but it turned out to be far beyond our expectation! The response was so very good! That night people were shouting and competing to buy every item…

害得高尊手忙脚乱,都来不及看是谁在出价。。。
Till poor Gao Zun was so busy and confused that he had trouble watching who was bidding…

结果林尊不得已,可怜他,也跑出来帮他控制场面。。。
Seeing how pitiful he was, Lin Zun had no choice but to  rush to his aid to control the situation…

结果两个却闹意见。。。
As a result, their opinions clashed…

由于出价、抢购热潮拉长了拍卖时间,结果到很迟了才卖出大概少过我带来四分之一的东西!而且那卖出去的几样罢了都已筹到了约马币六千令吉(台币5、6万)!
Due to the bidding and competition that really dragged on the auction time,  only less than one quarter of the items I brought were sold as it was getting very late! But just those few items only, we already collected about RM6,000.00!

由于时间的缘故,拍卖会需暂停,找另外一天再继续。。。结果我又拖着两大行李箱的拍卖品回家。。。
Due to time factor, we had to temporarily stop the auction and to find another day to continue… So I had to carry all my items in two pieces of luggage home again…

那一晚大家都很兴奋、很开心。。。
That night all were very excited and very happy…

连从遥远新加坡蒙恩教会来的007李牧师和他带来的年轻人们也积极参与。。。
Even Pastor James Bond Lee and the young men he brought along all the way from Blessed Grace Church Singapore actively participated…

就是不知道为什么这位仁兄那么无精打采。。。大概是忘了带钱来吧,哈哈。。。
But don’t know why this brother looked so bored… perhaps he had forgotten to bring his money, haha…

那一晚真的很特别也很感动,看到弟兄姐妹积极为建堂奉献,真谢谢也愿神亲自大大赐福你们!
真没想到我用过的东西还那么吃香、那么好价!哈哈。。。
感谢神让我也能如此奉献。。。相信下一轮成绩会更好!阿们!
That night was really special and touching seeing brothers and sisters contributed so willingly to our church-building, really thank you and may God bless you all personally too!
Really did not expect things I have used before could be so popular and still had such high value! Haha…
Thank God for giving me a chance to give in this way… I believe the next round will be even better! Amen!
