What a family...

It's already 4.5 years since I first came to Manchester...

God has been gracious to me here... Today marked my last day in this year to celebrate with my family (King's Church) here...

Looking back, I can see the hand of God never left me on my own. The best people I have ever met and will remain in my memory for the rest of the time is the friendship I have built here over the years, and of course they are my family here in Manchester...


I was prayed for by the church in the second meeting this morning. The powerful word of God came to me...

I believe that I am sent by the church here back to Malaysia, to accomplish the plan that God has for me. God brought me here 4.5 years ago to be equipped by His church here, and calls me back to Malaysia now to serve Him and make His name famous...

For whatever I do, I want to do it for His glory, no matter it is an easy or hard time. For we serve a faithful God, a God who is faithful in everything we do, a God who is the source of all things... and He is my source of strength at all times...

To me, the time ahead is a new season. It is a season of harvest, and with the time I sowed here, I am going to the harvest field to reap, and sowing new seeds ahead...


A surprise party was organised by my cell group with the rest of the church this afternoon in the building. I had a fantastic time and managed to catch up with a fair amount of people. I owe a big "thank you" for people who have been planning and organising this afternoon, and brothers and sisters who prepared food...

At last, I just want to thank God for how He has used me over the years; and many thanks to these people:
Keri, the apostle to the church, for releasing the resources that I need to do His work;
Richard & Judith, Gavin & Rachel, Dave & Philipa, Ezekiel & Mahongo and Andrew & Heather, the elders and wives of the church, for your encouraging and looking after me;
Ian, Sarah (& Mark), Nathan & Laura, the deacons of the church, for showing me the way that how you serve the church and led me in serving with you;
Daniel & Rachel, my great cell leaders, for taking care of me and being there for me at all times;
Lina, my lovely girlfriend, for supporting me, loving me and being with me all the time;
and many others (although your names are not mentioned, you play a crucial part of my time here).


My prayer is that the river of God will continue to flow within this church, and flowing out from me as I continue to serve Him in the time ahead...

For I am going from here to the nation, and with His presence, I will go in peace and make His name famous! I will keep you up-to-date from this site... and may God use my family in Manchester powerfully for the time ahead...

New Year Eve 2006

Due to my visa restriction, I needed to fly out from Manchester today. And today marked the first day of my Europe backpacking trip...

It was a very long journey (yes, it took me more than an hour to check-in) from Manchester to Bordeaux (southern France). When I reached there eventually, I was informed that the hotel I booked was closed.

God is good! I managed to check myself into a 2 star hotel that was not far from the one I booked... and the owner was able to speak English... That was really a great blessing...

I spent the rest of the day in exploring the town, and reserved a bed in a night train from Toulouse to Nice on the night of 3rd of January...

I thank God for the ticketing machine that I could check for train information in English... When I stepped to the counter to reserve for a bed in the night train, I discovered that the staff can hardly speak any English. I finally managed to book my ticket through various communication method...

I praise God for the way He creates us. Although not everyone speak the same language, we can still communicate through sign language...

Rather than joining other people in counting down, I rested in my room and recovered from the sleepy I got from not sleeping the night before... with counting down for New Year 2007 in front of a television set...
