My Hong Kong Experience

Had arrived in Hong Kong since Tuesday. Had spent some tremendous time with some wonderful people. We have walked the street of Hong Kong till dark, tasted some exotic food (like smelly toufu & some spare parts of some animals), laughed our hearts out, visited Macau and ate some more.

I really enjoyed my self very much. Although this is my 4th or 5th trip to Hong Kong, it is the company that made the difference.

I learnt quite a fair bit from th teaching on “An Indigenous Church” as well. The key learning for me was the distinction between contextualization and indigenization. It was helpful to me.

Then on Sunday, I was put in a most unusual position when quite a number of the delegates at the conference celebrated my birthday with me. I was completely caught unaware when the chairperson announced that there was a special segment from the Hope Singapore team. I honestly thought that it was some missions testimony or presentation.

And lo and behold, when a cake was brought forth, I really did not know how to respond. I appreciate the love and the gesture very dearly in my heart. I am really thankful for the many friends that God has placed in my life. I am truly blessed!

On the other hand, I am really not good at such situations. Suddenly, I did not know where to place my hands or how I should be standing or I should even be breathing!

Thanks people for making my day a most memorable one! I appreciate all you well wishes and friendship and partnership in the Kingdom so very greatly!

The evening was spent having dinner with the many of the pastors from all over the world. It was a most refreshing time for me to eat and hear stories from other leaders.

Thank God and thank you all!
