Tribute

Sometimes, lugging this cross of mine is difficult and disheartening. Yet, I thank God for so graciously providing support all along the way. Ever since I've caught this hunger for the Bible, my father has been patiently helping me along, encouraging me to read and to challenge myself. I have him to thank for helping me grasp the concept of worship, and issues concerning the law and gospel.
As I continued to realise my work in HELP, I had the privilege to have Pastor Kek and Aaron Liu to help train me to use Just for Starters. Though it was then when obstacles started cropping up, I am grateful for Just for Starters as it was one of the things which got me off my feet.
Some time passed, and I had the opportunity of attending a conference by Gospel Growth Fellowship after being pestered by Vanessa Ong. Fellow Worker's Conference allowed me to see the reality of things - there are young people who are interested about studying the Bible accurately and faithfully. This very much encouraged me to push on, and inspired me to encourage my friends in the university Christian fellowship to be as passionate in dealing with the Word of God.
I continue to struggle in encouraging people to turn back to proclaiming the gospel and things became difficult. I could not see where to work was going and sometimes the obstacles were just too overwhelming. Once again, I see God's grace and providence when I was invited to attend SMACC. There, I met people who were faithful and accurate in expositing Bible text who encouraged me and even stepped in to help out. People like Andrew Cheah, Marianne, Tim Nicholls, and Brian King have been a great help.
Every time I feel discouraged, I think back and see how time and again the Lord has been so kind, and I cannot help but praise His name.
