Captain Hary came for us at 12 noon today and took us to Kallang Baru. First we went to the Food Centre to have our lunch. The food was good and we enjoyed the meal. Good to visit the old familiar places. Then we made our way to the hall for our meeting with the elderly.
There must be about 35 elderly folk or more in the hall. The singing was led by Tommy and Jessica and later joined by a taxi driver Alvin. They sang Hokkien songs - how well they sang, clapped their hands and did the actions. It was like the old style Salvation Army meeting. It was a real time of rejoicing and praising the Lord.
At the request of Captain, I gave my testimony in Hokkien and my wife gave hers in Cantonese. The congregation listened very attentively. It was most encouraging to speak to such a responsive congregation.
Kallang is the outpost of Balestier Corps. When Captain Hary took over there was some work with the youth and children, but nothing much. It has been hard work for him, but he has been well supported by the comrades of Balestier. The results are now evident.
He and his team surveyed the area and found there were a many elderly people living alone. So after much visitation, he has got this group of elderly coming every Friday for fellowship. He is reaching them with the gospel.
The work in Kallang is once again growing - youth centre, children receiving tuition and now elderly.
We were truly blessed this afternoon. Thank God for the privilege of sharing fellowship and the gospel with the folk.
