3:16 Church

Blessed Birthday Pastor Tou Chen! It's a huge privilege to be able to pen this note to represent our church family to celebrate you. What a gift you are to the church! God has used you in many ways to bless this church family and also the larger body of Christ, through your teaching of the Word and the testimony of your life. You have modelled for us courage, humility and passion especially when it comes to engaging cultural issues in the public square. You have inspired many of us and the impact you've made goes deeper and wider than you realise. But you are precious to this family today not just because of your gifts but because you are a friend to many of us and beloved brother in this family. I remember a few months back you preached the gospel on stage with such conviction. At the end of the session, I happened to see you tearing in your seat. I realise later that it was because you were so moved by God upon hearing how people responded to the gospel that day. I learnt that day how tender your heart is towards the Lord and compassionate you are towards the lost. My prayer for you is simply that God will use this tender heart and compassion He has planted to reach many more for Him and His glory! Your latter days shall be so much more glorious than your former! Yours in Christ, Ps Joel
