Pastor To's Memorial Service

On behalf of our family, thank you for loving us, praying for us and supporting us during for so long and during this time.  We are so very blessed and humbled to have had so many people celebrate Dad's life with us at his memorial service on Friday.  He truly touched the lives of so many people.

Thank you to the amazing brothers at CBCCP church (George, Thomas, Sunny and others) who helped us to live stream the service so that so many near and far could watch Pastor To's Memorial Service.  

If you were unable to attend, you can still watch the service by going to http://info.cbccp.org. 

The PowerPoint from the program is also available here. 

In the coming days, we hope to post other things at Dad's blog.  

Letter #5: Wishing you a blessed Chinese New year 祝

See letter #1, 2,3, and 4.

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

Happy Chinese New Year. 

Many Chinese like to look for good fortune in this season.  Since we are now in the “year of Lamb,” we can take advantage of this season to share the good fortunate through knowing Jesus, “the lamb of God.”  Last Sunday, I put some tracts for Chinese New Year in the lobby. 

We can also take advantage the redemptive analogy in the Chinese words to share.  Here are a couple of meaningful Chinese words:

Boxing It - One Way to Hide His Word in Your Heart

(Bel here) Recently and today as well, shortness of breath is becoming more of an issue for Dad.  Something cool he showed me today was this box he created way back when to help him memorize scripture. He said he has used it for years.  The box is filled with little cards (all hand cut and I assuming not with a fancy scrapbook cutter) each with a bible verse on it.

Psalm 119:9 says "How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word."

Its says in Matthew that the pure in heart will see God (Matthew 5:8).  Thus the purpose and basis behind Dad's box.  MAYBE, I should create a box of my own.  This may be Pinterest worthy! Check it out!

First Car

Here he is Mr. Samuel To in his younger years with his first car! If you know Chinese, you might want to check out his story.
