五月初受邀到新加坡灯塔教会布道演出，到过灯塔很多次，当然每一次都很蒙福和特别，但很奇妙的这一次就更加特别！
原因是，从我第一天服事完之后，一直到整个行程结束了至少两个礼拜过后，我还陆陆续续收到很多弟兄姐妹的信息和来信鼓励我和感谢我等等，这是我出去服事那么多年从来没发生过的。。。
上帝的时间始终是最正确的，因为他知道那时候我非常需要被鼓励，也需要他的力量来服事。原来就在我在灯塔服事的第二天开始，一场属灵争战也随着展开，仇敌企图扰乱我的思绪、拆毁我的服事和提早中断我的行程，那争战一直持续到几天前才缓和下来，也难怪那段时间新加坡的来信也每一天源源不断的带给我很多鼓励和安慰！
这就是为什么这一次新加坡那么特别！
In early May, I was invited to perform and evangelise by Lighthouse Evangelism Singapore. I have been to Lighthouse many times and of course it was very special and I was blessed each time, but amazingly somehow this time it was even more special! Reason being right after my first day of ministering till at least two weeks after the whole trip had ended, I was receiving continuously messages and mails from many brothers and sisters to encourage and thank me. This has never happened in all the years of me ministering outside…
God’s timing is forever the most accurate because He knew at that time I needed a lot of encouragement, and I needed His strength to serve. What actually happened was upon the second day of ministering at Lighthouse, a spiritual battle broke out against me as well. The enemy tried to disrupt my thoughts and destroy my ministry and stopped my schedule prematurely. The battle continued till only a few days ago when it started to tone down, no wonder during that period of time mails from Singapore kept pouring in daily to encourage and comfort me!
And this is why Singapore is so special this time!
一个很有趣的事是，这一次他们也邀请我在英文聚会主讲主日信息。一个唱福建歌的中文堂牧师主讲英文信息，很特别吧？
以下是他们用我几年前到过他们的教会所拍下的照片作宣传海报，与我同行的同工一直笑问我怎么会这样。。。？？？
An interesting this time was this time they also invited me to speak in their English Sunday services. A Chinese church pastor who sings Hokkien songs preaching English sermons, isn’t that very special?
Below is the promotional poster they did using the photograph they took of me when I visited their church several years ago, the team that went with me kept laughing and asking me why was it so…???
看近一点，我自己也是觉得好笑。。。
Looking closely, I found it very funny too myself…
短短几年的时间，一个人可以有很大的改变，这一次我是以这个形象出现，当我走过一些之前知道我的人的时候，他们竟然认不出是我，哈哈！
Within a few short years, a person can undergo a lot of changes. This time I came with this image, and when I walked past some people who knew me before, they actually could not recognise me, haha!
我想真的是有一点差别吧，穿著、发型、身材等等。。。？
I think probably there are really some differences, dressing, hairstyle, body shape etc…?
我真的要感谢灯塔的主任牧师，Pastor Rony Tan，那么款待我。。。
I must really thank Lighthouse Senior Pastor, Pastor Rony Tan for his great hospitality…
一些被委派“照顾”我的弟兄们等等。。。
Some brothers etc who were assigned to “take care” of me…
聚会前耐心等待的弟兄姐妹。。。
Brothers and sisters who patiently waited before the meeting started…
当然最要感谢的是那么乐意使用我这不配的器皿的上帝，愿他的名永远得着所有的荣耀。。。
Of course the one who deserves the most thanks is my God who is so willing to use an unworthy vessel like me, may His name receive all the glory forevermore…
