Unexpected Encouragement
Sometimes encouragement comes from unexpected ways.. On Sat night, we had gym night for the University Fellowship. Before we head off to eat, I decided to do a little sharing from John 15 (the vine and the branch). I relate to how I am going Singapore for a mission role. Someone brought some guests to […]
Keep Moving
I know this blog has been pretty quiet lately. The past few posts I felt that I didn’t really shared what’s going on in my life. Snipped in a devotion here. Shared a random thought there. In reality, the past few months were very busy. Looking back from Jan till May, it felt like everyday […]
Giving up stuff
“Do you really need to sell your bike? Can’t you bring it to Singapore?” This is probably the most frequently asked questions lately. Why do you need to sell your bike? Just bring it over to Singapore. You can still ride it there. I love my bike. I love my Cervelo Dual. It is my […]
Whirlwind
Everyday I get up, it feels like a to do list. That’s how I was feeling for the past three weeks. Everyday, there’s something to do. A list of things needed to be done. Emails. Follow-ups. Plan. Make decisions. I haven’t posted as much in the past few weeks. I went to Cambodia on […]
Possessions, Culture and Missions

Repost: Words on Short Term Mission
This is by far one of the best posts I’ve read regarding short term mission. In short, short term mission is not a tourist trip. It is a key leading to long term mission. Though it might seen there is big expectation, I think it is important for us to wrap our head about missions […]
Thomas Carlise’s You Jonah
And Jonah stalked to his shaded seat and waited for God to come around to his way of thinking. And God is still waiting for a host of Jonahs in their comfortable houses to come around to his way of loving.
Called
My friend and I were talking about Eric Liddell earlier today. I told him Eric became a missionary and went to China after winning the Olympics. Quite a humble feat to forgo his racing career… My friend asked why did he do that? To which I replied. Because God called him. Just as Abraham was […]
A journey into missions….
Tonight was a rough night. I had to drop off groceries to three people. One of the drop offs were missing a bag and there was an incident with someone receiving the wrong bag. So I spent the night driving around Mississauga back and fourth to make sure everyone got the right groceries. I wasn’t […]
Go….
Hanging out with R on the street….reading Jackie Pullinger and her accounts of sharing the gospel in Walled City… … I can still remember that night when I was out on the street in a cold Canadian winter night. I was at Nathan Philip Square. The howling wind made every pedestrian walked faster. It was […]
