潘秀琼 Concert


Women's Joy Fellowship, a ministry of the church, helps to organize two concerts for 潘秀琼 at Kenyalang theater. It was not just a chance for the Kuching fans to meet her, more importantly, it was a chance for 潘秀琼 to share her Faith.


Both concerts were packed full, praise the Lord! Much thanks to all the volunteer ushers from both Chinese & English congregations. The concerts were very well controlled and managed.


It was obvious the crowds love 潘秀琼. Many mesmerizing faces here too just like earlier in the church ;)


潘秀琼 sang quite a few oldies: 情人的眼泪, 月亮代表我的心, 梭罗河之恋....


One of the most touching moment during the concert was her sharing on Teresa Teng! Both were in Japan for a period of time together, and both were seeing each other almost daily. And yet, 潘秀琼 did not share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with Teresa Teng, much to her regret now.


A scene from the concert. Part of the song 梭罗河之恋....


She would weave the sharing of the love of God in between songs and even making "fun" of her own songs for the purpose. Like this very cool "家家有本难念的经 vs 圣经"!

Again, thanks to all the ushers and volunteers who came to help, and Women's Joy Fellowship for organizing the concerts.

潘秀琼 At EBC


This morning 潘秀琼 was at our church to share on the love of God and to WORSHIP!


Who is 潘秀琼? She is a megastar singer from the 60s/70s. From her sharing, she came to know the LORD in the 80s after a traumatic sickness (brain tumor). Ever since, she has been living her life UNTO THE LORD. Hallelujah!


How good was her singing? Well, from the faces of the congregation, it was simply mesmerizing! A sample below:

EBC Chinese Church


After many months of prayers & planning, today our Chinese congregation finally moves into their very own worship hall! Hallelujah!


No more do they need to "give way" to the flood of people coming in for the 10:00 am English service. Now they can linger, soak and worship in the presence of God for as long as they want...


Now our beloved Chinese congregation can focus fully on the teaching & preaching of the Word instead of been annoyed by the English congregation people peeking through the doors with the annoying "has it ended?" stares... ;)


Thank you Lord Jesus for this new place. May this place be a place of equipping & building up of the saints to the unity of Faith.
