Stephen Tong in Singapore

Stephen Tong - a pretty competent apologist will be in Singapore for a Christmas Gospel Rally.

Title: 神与人之间 (Between God and Man)
Date and time: 11 Dec, Sunday, 7:30p.m
Location: Singapore Polytechnic Convention Centre (Near Dover MRT)

I've gone to one of his rallies before and it is very good for intellectuals and sceptics who wants rational reasons proving God exists. The con (for ARPCians)? It's all facilitated in Mandarin.

I'm praying to be able to invite my dad. I believe it'll fulfill a few presumptions at the same time:
i) Christianity is not a western religion - Chinese (race) intellectuals are also in the faith.
ii) Intellectual justification - All religions do not lead to God, a relationship with God is not just good feelings or achievements in this life. There are rational, historically true reasons why Christ is the only way to the Father.

Do pray for me in this.

I'm not spam!!

Anyway. Will pray for you and dad on this. Please pray for boldness and opportunity to discuss Christ with my parents and brother this coming Christmas as they spend time with us in Singapore.

Actually it's an interesting note - how come no one we know is actually actively serving in the Mandarin ministry? There seems to be quite a dire need for regular servers in that area.

Great stuff. Will be praying for your dad. You know when you mentioned the name Stephen Tong, for a moment there I thought you were referring to a media friend of mine. Thought he became a pastor or something... haha

Hamster, good link, thanks!

Will keep your parents in my prayer during the Christmas season. Prayerfully both our families will be saved before He comes again.

Wrt Mandarin Ministry, could the lack of mandarin speakers be a factor?

Joyous, if your friend is a non-believer (and can understand mandarin), why don't you jokingly invite him to this? "Hey, thought you're speaking at a Christmas Rally..." :p

Hedonese: Thank you, God's faithfulness can really be seen in our personal lives isn't it?

Your blog is very scholarly, I will need some time to digest what's written there. :)

Gunblad3: Thank you for your prayers. It's very much appreciated.

Haha, I'm not just young-at-heart ok? ;)

Sounds like the Inklings, I'm curious about what you all meet to talk about. This month looks a bit tight, I may be able to meet up next month. Let me know via e-mail the details?
