2011年3月19-21日，我们到了彭亨州一个小镇直凉布道。。。
直凉人口据说不超过两万人，是我自己告诉我的好友石和何牧师夫妇我要去的。
去直凉的路途中，我的肉体已开始后悔了，因为我们午夜十一点半才从云顶出发，车程越两小时，山路“曲折崎岖”，予人一路想吐的感觉。
我也非常怀疑开车的弟兄曾经是F1车赛的选手，开车真的比云顶的过山车还要刺激！连酷酷的田圣坐在后座也突然间静静的自己绑起安全带。。。

March 19-21, 2011, we went to a little town in Pahang called Triang for evengelistic meetings…
I was told Triang has less than 20,000 people in population, I was the one who told Pastor Chok and Ho (husband and wife) myself that I wanted to go there.
On the way to Triang, my flesh started regretting because we only started our journey from Genting at 11:30 midnight. The journey took about two hours and it was winding and hilly, it gave you the feeling of wanting to throw up all the time.
I seriously suspected the brother who drove us there as an ex-F1 racer, his driving was really more exciting than Genting’s roller-coaster! Even our cool Daniel Tian Sheng sitting at the back suddenly got up to fasten his seat belt quietly…

这次直凉之行的高潮可以说是最后一天，21日在我们前往机场之前被邀请到直凉中学分享。。。
校长希望每个学生都有宗教信仰，因据说有些学生蛮叛逆的，连校长讲话也不怕；所以我们就迫切祷告，求上帝感动孩子们安静聆听神的话语，让神的爱触摸他们。。。
从照片你就可以看得出神听了我们的祷告，当天这群学生真的很礼貌，品行都很好，个个都很专心听讲，也不捣乱吵闹。。。给直凉的学生们一个掌声！！
你们让我们留下很好的印象，让我们不介意再一次坐过山车来看你们！

The climax of the trip this time to Triang was the last day, the 21st, we were invited to share at the secondary school there before going to the airport…
The principal hopes that every student will have a religious belief because we heard that some students are quite rebellious, they are not even afraid when the principal is talking; so we prayed earnestly that God would touch and cause them to quietly listen to the word of God, and be moved by the love of God…
From the photos you can tell that God heard our prayer, the students were well-behaved and polite, they all listened attentively and did not cause trouble at all… let us give the Triang students a round of applause!!
You have given us a very good impression, and we do not mind taking the roller-coaster to come visit you again!

 

虽然没有冷气和很好的舞台及音响设备，我们仍然卖力的演唱及分享，因为无论在什么状况下，都要把最好的献给神！
感动的是看到学生们有所反应。。。
Though there was no air-conditioned system and proper stage and sounds facilities, we still did our best in performing and sharing because no matter in what situation, we must offer up the best to God! The touching part was to see responses from the students…

 

光看这些笑容，心里就有温暖和感动。。。
连老师似乎也很享受，还不断拍照呢！
Just by looking at their smiles, you can feel the warmth and be touched…
Even the teachers seemed to enjoy themselves, and kept taking pictures too!

最后很多位也回应愿意接受主的爱，也跟着我们诚心向主祷告。。。
求主记念直凉的百姓和这群学生们，让他们个个都得救、蒙恩又蒙福，阿们！

Towards the end, many responded to the love of God, and they prayed with us seriously to receive Him…
May God remember the people of Triang and all these students that they will all be saved and greatly blessed, Amen!

November 30, 2010

那天一下飞机，他们带我们去吃午饭，然后就被载往老人疗养院拜访。。。
That day after we landed, they took us for lunch and after that were taken immediately to visit the nursing home for the elderly…

照节目说，只是去拜访，看看那里的环境，也了解我帮他们筹款的目的。。。
According to the programme, it was just a visit, to look at the environment and understand the purpose of my helping them to raise fund…

后来却被院牧要求说，既然来了，可不可以唱首歌逗老人家开心，因为他们都熟悉我的歌。。。
Then the home’s chaplin requested whether I could sing a song to make the elderly happy since I was already there, as they know my songs pretty well…

因才下飞机不久，也没什么准备，就答应清唱“真正好”。。。
Because I had just landed a while ago and was not prepared, I obliged by singing “Cin Cia Ho” without music…

大家很开心，院牧就说，那本来是老人家午睡时间，大家都牺牲睡眠等我来，可否多唱一首。。。
Everyone was very happy, and the chaplin said that was actually the elderly’s napping time but they sacrificed their sleep just to wait for me, so he asked that whether I could sing another song…

听了，我觉得好感动，就再唱“牵我的手”。。。
I was quite moved upon hearing that, so I sang another song “Hold My Hand”…

后来疗养院总裁也走进来，他说老人家最喜欢的其实是“一粒沙”，可不可以再唱这首。。。后来其他工作人员告诉我，其实是总裁自己最喜欢这首，哈哈！
Then the nursing home’s CEO came in, and he said actually these old folks’ favourite song is “A Grain Of Sand”, so he asked whether I could sing that for them… Later the staff told me that is actually the CEO’s own favourite, haha!

所以我就用我“随身带万一要用到”的卡拉唱了“一粒沙”。。。
So I used my brought-along-in-case-I-need-it karaoke disc to sing “A Grain Of Sand” …

过后，他们终于放过我了。。。
Finally they let me go…

其实上帝真的很奇妙，只要你愿意，他就会赐给你超过所求所想的。。。
想当年让我犹豫不决要不要当牧师的其中一个原因就是我不懂如何服事老人家；事隔多年，上帝竟然让我成为一个“老人家的牧师”。。。
Actually God is really wonderful, as long as you are willing, He will give you things that are beyond what you ask and imagine…
Recalling years back, one of the things that made me reluctant to be a pastor was I did not know how to minister to the elderly; and now, after so many years, God suddenly made me a “pastor to the elderly”…

服事老人家真的很不容易，我真的要向所有服事老人家的人致敬， 愿神大大赐福你们！
It is really not easy to serve the elderly, I must really salute those who serve the elderly, may God bless you all greatly!
