Lieut. Colonels Thean Seng and Pat Tan retired at the end of July, so this is the 8th day of their retirement.
We thought we could get all the six retired officers living in Singapore together for a fellowship meal. Unfortunately, Colonel Mrs. Alice Lau was not feeling well, so could not come. Major Janos Wasagan is far from well and had to decline our invitation.
Anyway the four of us had a great time at the ART (Assumption Restaurant for Training) for a lovely meal. This restaurant provides training for students to work in the hospitality sector. The food is good and price very reasonable.
We have known the Tans since 1959 when we were appointed to Penang Corps (church) They were quite young then and very active in the church. They both felt the call of God to be Salvation Army officers and entered training in 1966. They have served faithfully all these years - all over Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and London. They extended their service by two years the last appointment as pastors of the Chinsse Church. The church grew under their leadership.
We thank God for these faithful servants of God. We know in their retirement they will continue to do ministry.
