Fourteen of us met this morning to share fellowship, coffee/tea, light refreshments and of course the Word. There was a visitor from Japan who came with a lot of questions concerning the Bible. Unfortunately, there was no time for the group to look at his questions. We have our lesson prepared for the morning and we owe it to our regular members to keep to our series of studies. Besides, my wife and I had another appointment following our morning fellowship.
We spent the afternoon at Kallang an old housing estate. We celebrated Chinese New Year by having lunch together - steam boat. Brother Alwin a taxi driver took time off to join us. He led the singing of Hokkien and Mandarin songs with accompaniment on the guitar by Brother Tommy. Cadet Joyce gave an excellent message in Mandarin. I felt very proud of this young nurse who with her husband Wee Kiang are undergoing training to be come Salvation Army officers. God bless these cadets.
It has been a long day for us. We give thanks to God for the privilege of continuing in ministry even in retirement.
A week today, it will be Chinese New Year. I found myself singing the old hymn "O God our help in ages past."
