Tour Concert

Thank You Singapore Caring Angels!

by 1 Comment


Few years ago, Raymond and the team decided to fully focus on localized Chinese ministry, concentrating on four pieces of land – Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore. The most challenging and special among them all is none other than Singapore. Since our team is running the Gospel Concert through singing and sharing, basic music equipment is inevitable. Hence, this had become a big problem of our tour in Singapore. The city is not too big and so do the houses of brothers and sisters there. Finding an accommodation is not easy too during the tour in Singapore, let alone finding space for our equipment?! Once speaking to myself if there are none would be willing to host us, we have to let go the Gospel work in Singapore. It would be sad to see this happen, after all, the Gospel field in Singapore is not small, Hokkien churches are prospering but the resources for Hokkien services and serving team is less. We do not stop praying, hoping that God will make a way.

Out of our surprise, it was a young couple who responded our prayer and they are Amos & Genevieve. They gave us much convenience, a guest room to rest and allowing us to put our equipment inside. Without any constraints and give us full freedom to going in and coming out from the house. For 2 years time, because of their love and generosity, we have the opportunity to be a blessing for small and big churches in Singapore, leading people to the Lord! Their hearts of loving God and man, the persistence of faith and the unity have become an example for us. And not too long ago we heard a great news – Genevieve got pregnant! We overjoy with them! They were excited yet could not bear to “throw us out of door”. Even if they kept silence, we ought to let the room be their baby room. 😀 What touched Raymond was that this couple loving each other more because of this baby girl. The wife took a year unpaid leave to take care of the daughter and the husband share the burden of wife’s housework after working hour and during holidays. Hannah, you are blessed. May your life be a glorious vessel for God. Thank you once again Amos & Genevieve!

At the same time, the second angel appeared – Charles & Rebecca. This couple is very humble and love us so much. Rebecca is a senior executive and when they decided to have a child, the husband fully support her idea of letting go the job and fully taking care of the baby. They have children but never forget to put their love and heart in the Lord’s ministry. Besides church’s ministry, they become one of the angels of Singpetra Mission. We frequently send products to Singapore in advanced but a recipient is needed for delivery. This house has become a point of delivery. Occasionally when there are some problems in transportation, they will “seek justice” on our behalf. God loves us so much, isnt He? Thank you Lord! Thanks Charles & Rebecca! 🙂

Not every Chinese church have enough sound system and equipment (the least basic is Monitor system), therefore we have a great struggle, either to muddle through or giving the best or giving up this field of harvest?! With our attitude, it is of course “If you want to do it, give the best”. The fact is, where should we put our equipment now? We met Pastor Chai & Charis Evangelical Free Church, their love for us is not limited only to giving us a store space for our equipment but treating us just as a family or even more. Holding the principles of loving God and man, the church’s attendance is not only stable but with strong cohesive force, the saved souls are added to them every year. We have learned much from them, to humble ourselves in serving to glorify God and serving man! Thank the Lord for a huge problem is solved. We can move on in the Gospel field of Singapore! Hallelujah!

Singapore is a busy “small” city, many brothers and sisters have limited space in their house. So it is too hard for 3 of us to get accommodation during our tour in Singapore. There is a phenomenon among Chinese churches in Singapore, they do not have the consciousness of getting a hotel room for speakers or guests. There were few times we stayed in church member’s house and we felt bad because they let us rest in their master room and they slept in living room. Even though they were more than willing and host us with smiles but we felt so bad for them! When our young volunteer, Sarah, got to know this matter, she looks for any available houses for us but was unsuccessful. Early this year, she told us in excitement, “Great news! You guys may stay in hotel!” Raymond was so excited but what even touched my heart was that she paid for our hotel stay with her own hard-earned money. How our hearts not touched with tears? A young people, knowing how to sacrifice for God’s work, understand how to sacrifice own selfe to achieve greater things (The Lord’s Kingdom), clearly understand what is “more blessed to give than to receive”. Her life as what the Bible depicts in 1 Timothy 4:12 “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”She fulfilled the Lord’s ministry in Singapore, she edified our team and set a good example for us. Give thanks to the Lord for this beautiful life! Thank you, Sarah!

Sister Buck Hwa is a very special sister. An English-educated background and English is always her first language. Right after she put her faith in the Lord, God called her out of the comfortable English service and go into the Mandarin-Hokkien service. Initially, she was unwilling. After the first submission, she got to know the Lord’s heartbeat more and the compassion of His heart, putting effort in learning Hokkien and Mandarin. And now, she is able to speak in Mandarin and read Chinese Bible in general words. Her husband is serving with her in Chinese department. It is reasonable when she giving his effort in church just as she sacrifices for her own children. However, her love is more than her own boundary and extended to us. Sending us regards from time to time and offer the practical support by giving love offering to support our ministry. This selfless love as if adding strength to our Gospel work in Singapore! We learned from her about faith, simplicity, sacrifice and love. Givethanks.

Last but not least, two very special angels – Gillian and Mary, “the twins”. They take good care of the Lord’s servant, giving us red packet from time to time to support our ministry. They are not long-winded nor need a lot of attention; but they are willing to listen and speaking words of encouragement. They even take care of those elderly who are abandoned. This sisters look simple in appearance, giving the best for those who are needy. And we are one of them who receive the blessings. Selfless, not asking for a return, unconditional love… how precious to be found in this land! We appreciate you. Thank God for you!

Thank you once again for all (Singapore) Caring Angels who love the Lord and us!

The Lord’s servant,
Raymond and the team

2014 Parents’ Day Sabah Tour (2) Sandakan . Friendship, Love and Thoughtfulness

by Leave a Comment

Sandakan is a place full with the milk of human kindness. Throughout the years, we’ve met many Caring Angels and our relationship is stronger than brothers and sisters. Those who always caring, paying attention on our tour are Rita, Betty, Winston, Kian Chai, Janet and so on, of course, not leaving behind elderly sister Wong. Because of their love, our serving felt so solid. And because of their support, the tour in Sandakan is not tiring. Their love is so practical, apart from the word of encouragement, they are giving their strength and money so that we will not suffer loss, hahaha. So touching and grateful to the Lord’s grace!

Specially excited for Raymond had a chance to visit the well-respected elderly sister Wong. Perhaps you are not familiar with her, Raymond would like you to know her story with us. That day, we went to her stall but did not find her in proper stall. After some walk and only found her and her grandson on the floor selling the own planted vegetables and herbs. My heart was stirred! That is because two stories in the Bible kept repeating in my head. When Jesus was thirsty, the Samaritan woman gave him water at the well and the widow who gave 2 coins whom Jesus complimented greatly, the humble heart, the heart of loving the Lord, a simple heart! Wherever Raymond goes, this woman is praised, her selfless giving testimony is an encouragement for rich believers.

This day, we went into wet market and presented 《Caring Angel Certificate》 to her in front of people around her. She was overjoyed when she met Raymond, holding my hand tight, saying, “Thank you for visiting me, you are so thoughtful!” She also said that she would come to support us on Sunday night then.

Sunday night has come and she indeed showed up. Taking bus to the venue and the first who sit in the front row. Smiling when saw Raymond, then taking out offering from her old carry-on bag to support us again. “Your life is not easy, keep it for your own please.”, Raymond replied. Every penny from her is earned from the small profit she get from selling the vegetables and saved from her simple living, how can we young people take from her? Full of faith to the Lord, she replied, “No no, God gives me joy, and I ought to support His ministry as payback!” How simple faith she had, so real blessing, encouraging and powerful words! Raymond realized in a sudden, how valuable is peace and joy, it is grace and not taking for granted.

She used the least on her own and give the best to bless the Lord’s servant (including those servant who come to visit her church, this beauty is testified by many). We felt so bad in heart knowing this and believe you too will feel the same. We live comfortably, eating good food, having good career, lack of nothing… giving ourselves the best; as for ministry, church and the Lord’s servant… it seems does not appear in our sights, indifferent or does not have the touch of God as excuse. We always think that we only pay back to the Lord when we receive the financial blessings, even Raymond thought so. After getting to know sister Wong, I found that i am so unworthy and small. As what Raymond read recently on a report analyzed that only 5% are matured Christians (brothers and sisters who are loving God and man, willing to contribute in finance and effort, not gossiping, working hard) in the church. May what have been done by this woman who keeps her faith, walking out the words of the Lord be our example. One day, when we back to our home in heaven, may we receive the reward from the Lord!

Special thanks to churches, pastors and elders who love God and man. In this Sandakan Tour, Raymond and the team felt warm and touching because we experienced the selfless love! The open-minded heart of pastors and elders has blessed us and pushed forward the Gospel work. Besides receiving, we had learned the truth of “blessed is to give than to receive”. A willing heart to bless plus word of encouragement gave us a good help not just in finance but also fed our spirit. As for all brothers and sisters, they gave their full support, buying products to push the ministry forward. The inferiors imitate the superiors, because of the example and teaching of pastor and elders, brothers and sisters are not stingy in helping God’s ministry and the successors. Their generosity puts our worries away and saving more beloved souls of the Lord for the Gospel. Grateful.

Pastors asked Raymond in these few Gospel concerts, “What do you think about the motivation of brothers and sisters in Gospel work?” From here, we can see that the new generation of pastors are striving to turn on the Gospel’s engine again. Raymond also discovered that some brothers and sisters felt so bad because their friends were unable to attend the Gospel concerts especially on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day or during other Chinese festivals, they are facing the same difficulty. Raymond pondered on this problem and discovered that many brothers and sisters putting their focus on non-believer friends who are well, comfortable and lack of nothing. When festival is around the corner, friends will naturally asked by their children to dine and celebrate. In fact, we always neglect those who need our care, lonely and even longing for change in life, family relationship restored or get rid of bitterness in life.

As the saying goes “Birds of a feather flock together”. We are fortunate one and will always gather with friends alike. However, the mission of the Gospel is rather opposite. We need to walk out of the fortunate group and walk into the needy field and initiate our care for them. Then we will find out that those who are in suffering are more than those who are in comfort. As what the Bible recorded the parable of Jesus in Luke 14:16-24 16 Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. 17 At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ 18 “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’ 19 “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20 “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’ 21 “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’ 22 “‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’ 23 “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. 24 I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’” As we can see, human nature is the same from the beginning. Therefore, every Gospel banquet (any evangelistic meeting) can be full house anytime, those who are needy will be fed in the Lord and we may glorify God and serving man, shouting Hallelujah!

Anyhow, this Parents’ Day Tour still is a success because none of the churches are indifferent to share the Gospel together with us. Their full support encouraged Raymond and the team so much. Thank you once again from the bottom of our heart for all who love us. Sabah, I love you!

Let’s move on and covering one another in prayer!

See you again!

The Lord’s servant,

Raymond and the team

2014 Parents’ Day Sabah Tour (1) Kota Kinabalu . Giving and Receiving

by Leave a Comment

Sabah, we are back to a familiar place again. Passion, love, support and simplicity… these are the impressions Raymond has on Sabahan. This Gospel Concert tour, we still sense the nature of brothers and sisters.

In Kota Kinabalu, we have our familiar volunteers – Jacky & Amy family to be the present help during the tour. Appreciate their loyalty to the Lord, their faith and the love for people. They are ready to serve wherever we go. Besides picking us up, this family becomes our best helper during the concert – manage stocks, selling CD and so on. The sense of walking together is great, touching and even valuable. As if this is a reminder for our team that we are not alone. The goal, determination and principles of ministry are greatly affirmed! Raymond and the team love this family because their lives are truly beautiful. Every gathering is a gain. May the abundant Lord continue to multiply the blessing for this family and prosper their career and family, glorifying the Lord’s name while being a blessing for many people!

Many brothers and sisters praise us as a team that dedicated 100%. We appreciate their kind words and compliment so much. Raymond always give a deep thought if we are truly as what brothers and sisters described? What I discovered was that those churches, pastors, brothers and sisters who support us are truly giving 100% dedication. Their sincere acceptance, inviting friends to attend Gospel Concert for the sake of Gospel, giving love offering and buying CD to support the ministry, and after that they will follow up with those “new lives” who responded to Salvation. Aren’t they dedicated more and greater? What Raymond and the team do is cannot compared with what they have done. Through the small deeds we had done, we are blessed physically and spiritually! Thank the Lord for using us as a humble vessel, as a Gospel channel.

Although our main goal is to spread the Gospel, we are not neglecting the needs of the Lord’s body. Therefore, we will impart uplifting content for Christians during the concert. Human are weak, it is joyful thing to do in spreading the Gospel and building up the brothers and sisters in the Lord at the same time. Doing greater things in limited time so that what dedicated to our Lord Jesus will turn to be multiplied value.

Thanks to the churches and pastors who loved us, especially those who selflessly bless us financially. We are encouraged and touched! Because of your ambition in loving God and man, this love in the Lord is beautifully displayed! We believe that your generous providence (for Singpetra Mission) will create chances of sharing the Gospel with those churches of weak finance (especially small and medium churches) in future. Thank you for your selfless love to support the Lord’s body in the Kingdom’s perspective.

Never forget to mention brothers and sisters who pray for us unceasingly. Your encourage words, smiles and photos memory have become the greatest motivation in our Gospel road! Matthew 6:19-22 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. This scripture is so true on each and everyone of you! When Raymond saw you taking the money on your hand to support us in the Lord’s calling ministry, it speaks of a simple and truth-believing heart, proves the value of the Lord’s ministry, assures the the successor of those who love the Lord’s ministry. And these are the role models of Christians! This touch really move Raymond and the team on to work harder in glorifying God and serving man!

Next – 2014 Parents’ Day Sabah Tour (2) Sandakan . Friendship, Love and Thoughtfulness

2013 [The Parents’ Heart] Parents’ Day Sabah Tour Report

by Leave a Comment

After 3 years, we are back to Sabah for evangelistic concerts. The same land and churches, some people were not there anymore, a feeling which penetrates heart! The only unchanged is that Sabahan still is a bunch of God’s people who know how to bless others! We are so thankful for that. Besides the fully support from church pastors and elders, many brothers and sisters give generously to support the ministry. The support of all akin to rain of autumn which satisfied our dryness in the past two months. Thanks God, for one, God provides Raymond and the team to be patient and hold on to the principles with pure hearts, now that we see the Lord has sent His angels to help us. The single move attains two objectives: getting help and getting souls! And secondly, we are proud that Sabah has generous churches. We are cheerful with tears of joy for Sabah churches have been training up brothers and sisters who love both God and man!

Because of time limitation, we are only able to reach two big cities in Sabah – Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan. Many brothers and sisters from other towns felt regrets especially friends in Labuan. Raymond and the team felt the same with you! We hope that the Lord will continue to guide and open doors, so that we may have more time and energy to bless many more towns in Sabah by spreading the Gospel! Please do intercede for us.

Raymond felt overjoyed when meeting up with pastors, brothers and sisters who have long not seen. Their sharing, tough testimonies of life, the sincerity of faith has help us to testify that God is faithful! We, the workers in the field of evangelism are touched by their fire for the Lord! Perhaps for this reason, we felt much strength from within in this tour! Hahaha!

This Sabah tour has an amazing experience, compared to the years before, the difference is somewhat huge. What it means is that, what we considered good response in the past, this time around the index is facing south; while those which are not so good in the past, gearing up so much this time around. The differences stated above inclusive of the priority of church members for church activities, the hearts of bringing people to the Lord, the love of evangelistic ministry, and even the support for the products. So, the challenges of evangelistic meeting is rather huge. Apart from fulfilling the mission of spreading the Good News; it is our work to build up those Christians who are cold and lose of passion, encouraging them to put Jesus as their Lord of their lives, families, and carriers. Love the church and neighbors, to display the reality of faith in their daily living. Experience the power of God’s presence, even to affect the next generation, that their lives may be used by the Lord.

We have more time to talk to the local pastors and elders in this tour, to understand the direction of Sabahan. By doing so, the work of spreading Gospel is much easier and accurate! We would like to thank pastors and elders for their time, affirming what the Lord has given us – the localized ministry. Meanwhile, many brothers and sisters who know us shallowly are now getting to know us more. Some people responded that they thought after the album “I Know”, Raymond went for business and never return. After so many years and seasons of good and bad, we are still like before to walk in this path, even clearer about our direction, we are thankful for this. It is our bad that we do not often come to Sabah. 😀 However, thank you for remembering us in your prayer, as well as responded to our plans in heart. We shall come to Sabah again for the Gospel sake! 😀

We had been to the middle range and even small churches. The pastors were taking the evangelistic meeting seriously. Therefore, we are so excited and enjoyed to work together. We are sure that this generation’s need (Gospel) is getting bigger. At the same time, the pastoral work is getting tougher. The reasons are money, entertainment, internet and all sorts of temptation is increasing, blinding the hearts of people, even Christian sometimes are at the edge. We pray that the pastors and elders will continue to move on with the grace of the Lord, to rescue God’s beloved people in our lifetime!

The greatest breakthrough for this tour was that Raymond’s first Hakka Song “Thank You Mother and Father”. Besides, this is the first time in life Raymond talked so much of Hakka, Haha! The love of brothers and sisters has encouraged Raymond. Many encouraged and said, “Your Hakka is very accurate! Your Hakka song is the best of all!” Haha, how lovely they are. At least, this is the greatest encouragement in the localized ministry. Through this song, we are closing the gap of the church and the friends. With the presence of the Lord, the song touches both parents and children. Thank God for willingly to use me as the blessing in Gospel! Hallelujah!

Brothers and sisters, please pray for the friends around. Do not be dismayed in sharing the Gospel, the Lord is carrying us! Soon we shall see one another again. Wherever we go, get the opportunity and pray for the people and bring them in, spread the Good News, glorifying God and benefits mankind! Press on!

Kuantan Tour 2012

by Leave a Comment

Kuantan is one of the unforgettable evangelistic tour stops for Raymond. The first stop Raymond led the band for evangelistic concert was this place and was only 21-year-old. After 10 years plus, Kuantan became a well-developed city in East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The church also has been well developed and renewed with the love of brother and sister. What a beautiful sign! Many things had changed and yet there is one left unchanged but progressed greatly – their love for the Lord and the love for men.

There was a small town which is one and a half hour away from Kuantan called Air Jernih and this was the first stop during our Kuantan Tour. The most changeling part for small town is that the trained youths will be heading to big cities for their pursues after they have grown up. The leftovers are old men and children. They came that night. Most of the time, the regular Sunday service will be around 4 to 5 old men but tonight they brought the new friends and relatives to have the small room filled with people. To have services in villages will face a problem of not getting attention from audience during the service. And yet tonight, they listened attentively and responded to the Lord’s salvation and brought joy to us! There are some mentioning about the Raymond’s only visitation 10 years ago and suddenly the picture was floating in my mind recalling that night I swallowed a winged insect during the performance (Laugh in Loud!).

The next stop was Pekan. I felt very pressured on the way to this town because the brothers and sisters mentioning the spiritual hardness of this land and not knowing if tonight will show up none. :p There were only a few who came excluding those from Kuantan who came to support. Raymond’s consistent principle: To dedicate the best for the Lord. We took it seriously whether it is sharing or singing. Tonight, God has added the saved to Pekan. We were informed that there is a man who visited the church for 3 years and finally decided to receive the salvation, it was so touching! If it were not the patience and sacrifices of brothers and sisters all these years, the love and guard of pastors, the friends in Pekan would not have the opportunity to listen, see and experience the true love.

The evangelistic meeting in Kuantan has attracted many people. The organiser sent out thousands of leaflet but as what we expected from our experience, almost none are coming by seeing the leaflet. However, the most touching part is the love of life among the brothers and sisters. Those new friends who attended were the audience that they had been praying and loved for a long time. The meeting was filled with joy, laughters and and clapping. Raymond was overjoyed on the stage. The most exciting part of course was the souls that God had prepared for the church, roughly about 30 new friends decided to follow the Lord. There were families, husbands whom the wives prayed for a long time and some are youths. Raymond was called to be the instrument of Gospel and we have no conditions to seize the credit of the Holy Spirit and the Glory of God. The point being is to thank the Lord and the brothers and sisters who allowed Raymond to be part of this. May God continue to use our talents for His glory and benefit many more to come.

The spiritual revival meeting was a great service which we encourage one another deeply. The heart of the message on that day was focusing on the real faith during the hard time and challenges attacking us and God’s faithfulness follow us closely when temptation approaching us. It was a big encouragement in faith when we met up with old friends after 10 years and still living in the grace of God. Besides, the elders of the church encouraged Raymond and the team in actions and in words. The generous offering from the brothers and sisters had achieved the value we live for the Gospel. There was even a son in law came who paid relatives a visit, heard the story of Raymond second son and was touched to lend a helping hand by giving a thick sum of money (from RM1 to RM50). “I’m sorry, I didn’t bring the check book because I’m on leave. Hope that you don’t mind and receive this.” Almost none had not giving their helps. The love of God and the love of men have greatly displayed in their lives.

This tour to Kuantan was so abundant physically and spiritually. Ministry is assured, serving is extended, the strength has filled our hearts to continue yet to another part to sing the Lord’s grace! Last but not least, we would like to thank specially to Rev. Chan Thiam Hee …. who loves us. From first year of ministry, no matter where he is sent to, we will surely go for the Gospel hand in hand. May our faithful God continue to lead us in future.

See you again, Kuantan!

2012 Malaysia-Singapore Parents’ Day Concert Tour Report

by Leave a Comment

We would give a theme for both Father’s Day and Mother’s Day Concert Tour in the past. This year, we have a goal to use the love and beautiful of parents as our concert tour’s theme. We wished to let every Chinese know the heart of God that He gave us parents and the unity of parents is the real happiness and beauty. Hence, the theme for this time around was “Parents. The Extraordinary Love”. This theme was to advocate the love for each other between parents will bring in the warmness to the family in this milk and water generation. We hope that this positive energy will go on in future.

As always, the festival type of evangelistic concert will cover both Malaysia and Singapore. Although most of the evangelistic concert will be held in a form of banquet and churches will have a great budget for such event, we still hold on to our principle to turn down such invitations. This is due to many unpleasant, failed, and unfruitful experiences as well as not getting the respect from the audience. To be honest, non-believers know well of our practices. They will surely accept the invitation of any banquets because they will be served with delicious food. When it comes to sharing, they will join the crowd to talk in loud volume. Alter call, will be set aside in this case. The saddest thing is dear brothers and sisters too had forgotten the purpose of the banquet – falling into their temptation of talking with one another (Human nature ).

We thought that this will affect the parents’ day tour arrangement. On the contrary, the Parents’ Day period was fully booked and there were few invitations were postponed to coming year Parents’ Day. This is not only our thoughts but many church co-workers are tired of banquet evangelism as the result was not in line with their expectation and yet spending too much energy and money. Those who are willing to come to church are those who are prepared. Therefore, the chances of receiving the Gospel will be higher. As those churches we worked with in this Parents’ Day, they have the same principle and God added those who are being saved to their churches as well, Hallelujah!

During the tour, there were some churches hosting their first musical evangelistic concert. They have no ideas how this will look like and not knowing our team well. They unbelievable that they only have to bring people to the church will do and the rest “are you going to do everything including alter call?”, they asked. There are many responses thanking us for the “All in One Service” evangelistic concert which makes them even love to organize evangelistic concert, getting to know us better, easier to bringing friends to church (content of sharing is clear), they don’t even have to bother about the sound system! LOL! This is our wish – To share the Gospel together and to advocate the love of spreading the Gospel and the love of life among the church brothers and sisters. Glory to the Lord!

There were tears and joys in the sharing in the tour. The Chinese song “All Mothers Are Alike” brought smiles on the faces of mother who brought up the kids diligently. “Old Wine Bottles” also bringing tears to many men, many children recalled their fathers who sacrificed in silence. The Word of God “Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.” comforted many who are without parents and released them from the bondage of man year, receiving God as their hope and shelter. The song “Abba Father” helps all parents to know that they are not alone and to acknowledge that they can rely on God all of their life.
