God is my Strength
Welcome back! Ready for another interesting facts? Today, as promised I will start a new discussion, a very important discussion: Trusting God to help us. God can use His people who have sinned so much, and who turned against God Himself, to be one of the greatest missionary that works for God. One of the example is Pdt. Stephen Tong. He is a great evangelist until now. He once made a promise... Whoops, guess I'll talk about that later on, because the story hasn't been that faraway!
Pdt. Dr. Stephen Tong is one of the greatest pastor in the world, in fact maybe the greatest. He lives for God, and he entirely religious. He has been to many countries and cities, small land and area and deepening areas, forests even, village and so on. He promised that until he had traveled 100 countries or reached the age of 100, then he can go back to God. Stephen Tong was around 3 years old when his father died. His mother has to care for so many children, that is, 8 children (6th of eight children, Mary, the eldest sister of his died at a young age, with the rest named Tony, John, Peter, Caleb, Stephen, Joseph and Solomon.).
Stephen Tong is a teacher, musician, pastor and an evangelist. He himself made the Messiah Cathedral, as it was named in Jakarta. It has no pillar, yet, it has a strong foundation. Stephen Tong doesn't want to put any pillars because he wants no one to be blocked at sight by pillars. Stephen Tong has made everything in the Messiah Cathedral so beautifully, and by God's grace everything is possible, even the amount of money they should pay, and so on.
John Tong is one of the pastors in the world, and Stephen Tong's brother. He live as an evangelist, and a caring pastor in St. Peter Basilica whom concerned about human beings. Tony Tong is a director of Inteluck. Caleb Tong became a pastor, a loving shepherd in GII Hok Im Tong. Stephen Tong is now a composer, teacher, evangelist, missionary, architect, conductor, author, shepherd and others, titles that he earned in his life. But most importantly of all, he is the head of the GRII Reformed System, and together with his siblings and family, he succeed in his life. Great in words, fascinating in life activity, trusting God and others. He trusted God, and he knows God will guide many who believe, trust and obey Him.
This is just one example of God's greatest people. There are more pastors, great men and women of God in this world. We must also fight, and aim the goal to God. Later, our deeds will be appreciated. So, trust in God and believe in HIM! See you next time!
