Engaging in ministry

It was a packed Sunday. In the absence of Major Pascoe I did the meeting at Eratchippu (Tamil Corps) at the basement of Praisehaven. There was first the Prayer meeting where five of us were present. Then we began our Worship at 9.00 a.m. with seven people but as the meeting progressed more people turned up till we had a congregation of about 40. Our Corps Secretary Terence Tan did my Bible class for me.
Brother Mani was very kind to interpret the message into Tamil.

We joined our many friends at the William Booth corps. Again it was our privilege to conduct the meeting. My wife led and I spoke and a number of folk participated by reading the Scriptures and prayer. We had a good congregation of about 200 people. There were several new comers.

We had our usual Prayer meeting after lunch, then we rushed to attend the wake at Kwong Avenue. The mother of Jessie and Anne Kwong was promoted to Glory. Mrs. Kwong has been a member of the Balestier Corps for many years and no doubt will be greatly missed by the folk. We got home quite late and by the time we had our dinner it was time to go to bed. It was a busy day, but we thank God for the privilege of engaging in ministry of preaching, teaching and visiting the people.

God's word declares "Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction."
2 Timothy 4:2
