but
I definitely loves Sunday!
Thanks to God.

Thanks to Rev. Stephen Tong.
I listened to his sermon for the first time about 3 years ago.
It was a youth KKR at Sabuga, Bandung.
I went regularly to GII Hok Im Tong.
A church leads by one of Rev. Stephen Tong brothers, Rev. Caleb Tong.
Yes, you are right.
Five men of the Tong's family are servants of God.
Good one...
If you want to know more about the Tong's family;
Read this book: Sons for Master by Freda Hatfield Tong.
This book is about Mrs. Tjien Nio, the Mother of Tong brothers, her life through which she watched the grace and faithfulness of God.
Her story from childhood until she gave five sons to serve the Lord.
I will give the review for this book, just wait patiently for it :)
OK, back to Rev. Stephen Tong...
His sermon was just once a year event for me.
but then, I continue my post grad study in Singapore.
Here, I have Sunday service at GRII (Gereja Reformed Injili Indonesia)
Rev. Stephen Tong gives sermon regularly every week for the afternoon service.
I am blessed.
Every Sunday becomes a joyful day for me.
Goes to church with passion.
Passion for God, passion to know Him.
Every word in his sermon is a blessing for me.
For his decades of experience as a God's servant, for his loves of Music, for his knowledge,
for his firm faith and for his life that he gives for others.
Man is not what he have.
Man is how he reacts before God.
That was his words.
I can list others, but it will take pages to complete :)
I am truly grateful for his works.
Grateful to listen to his every word.
Grateful to be in a choir which is conducted by him.
Grateful to see a glimpse of one of the greatest evangelist the world has ever known.
still I know, that I Christian can not take blessing for granted.
I must pass it on, let people know Him and feel the joy in Him.
I am working on it. Pray for me.
NB: For this last 8 months I listen to his sermon.
Not even once, I talked to him :(
Anyway...
still feel so blessed
I will talk and shake hands with him.
maybe someday... :)
