Easter Sunday Baptism

Easter Sunday Baptism 2011
Queenstown Baptist Church


Hello Friends,
Thank you sisters and brothers. Thank you friends for being there for us in this milestone ;)
Simon and I were asked to share our testimony that morning before our Baptism...In our weakness, God is glorified. with my jelly legs and all standing in front of the congregation that day, but through God's grace, the message was delivered....

To those of you that come by here, i pray you are lifted by this message too and keep your faith ;)
Here's our testimony ....

Good morning brothers&sisters in Christ,
Ten years ago,our son Nowis Xu Kai was born.
He was hospitalized when he was one month old.

The gastro-intestinal medical specialist came and told us that Kai had a condition whereby there was a twisting of his malrotated intestines and it could be potentially fatal. he had to be operated immediately.They explained that due to his young age, not the operation but the hi level of anaethestic would be life threatening. simon was home to get our things, i was asked to sign a form that says that the consequences was that kai may end up being a vegetable. As a new mother I cried non stop.within few hours, kai was wheeled into the operating theatre .Kai came out about 3hours later with so many tubes on him. we were lucky then, for Within a week we all could go home. We were overjoyed.

but few weeks after that, one morning Kai was crying very badly. His stomach was bloated. Again we rushed him to KK Hospital. He was scheduled for an ops immediately. .as non believers, we both felt so hopeless, nothing we could do. and i kept worrying even if he gets through this, when is the next?

During the saddest moment of my life, i remembered my then colleage the kind Chee Wah.Chee Wah was always trying to talk to me about the Lord as we were in the same office. He would always ask me for lunch , i went with him a few times but to me then, the lunch always got so boring because he would always preach for at least an hour about God's words. I was always so sleepy listening to him. after a few times lunching with him, i dedcided that i would hide in the toilet during the next lunch time. in order not for him to suspect that, i would first say "YES " to his lunch appt. But i would kept very queit in the toilet while i hear him calling out for me. when i hear his footsteps fading, i would then come out frm my hiding.but God found me ....

Bk at the hospital As I was attending to Kai who was still struggling for his life, I decided to call Chee Wah.I told him i want to know more about 'his' God. the one he claims can heal and do anythign for us,

Bro Chee wah then sent an angel. she is Sister Helena.Her soft voice and tender loving way of attending to us, showed me a new whole world of what a great example of Christian is like.Sister Helena came almost everyday and shared about Jesus. I remembered asking her if I believe in Jesus, will He heal my son.Two weeks after that I accepted the Lord. My faith grew and i began to learn & trust the Lord
There were love shown from other families. The Christian family who was next bed to us, lost their child but came back to the hospital to pray with us. Another Christian family who was struggling with their critical condition child never forget to come over to pray with us every nite.

The road to recovery for Kai was not immediate .After his 2nd major ops, he was not eating and he was havin hi fever all the time. The doctors were at their wit's end and scheduled another operation if Kai's condition did not improve. KKH also gave us the option to trf kai out to another hospital.I cried badly,we were already exhauted.& i havent been home for a month!!.I began to think that God was not listening to my prayer.

This was the time that i was also struggling with simon's acceptance of the Lord. He was always nowhere to be found whenever Sister Helena and Pastor Joseph came. I knew it was difficult for him just like what i had went thru with cheewah.

As Kai's condition got worse, Simon knew that we have nothing and no one else except the Lord. Simon was born a Taoist. Din't have any religion to fall back to. In the hospitals so many Christians came and bless us so abundantly with love, care, and so much so much of everything we needed. He read the bible Pasam 23 and the passage touched his heart. He know the message was from God.for him. He accepted the Lord.


That nite after simon and i prayed, I felt an unspeakable peace in my mind..i remember telling simon" i just knew it that kai will be fine tomorrow". indeed the next day, kai started taking his milk and the fever was gone.


I thank God for being faithful and keeping His promise according to Matthew 18:19:

"If two of you agree down here on earth concerning anything you ask for, my Father in heaven will do it for you."


I want to encourage anyone who needs healing to trust in God. He has been faithful to my family. Anytime I have needed healing for my family, He has kept his promise.

Till the day we grow old, with this testimony our faith will not fade but will continue to declare God's love.and share fr generation to generation.

today i have father Lord to thank, my family and friends from all over.and To queenstown baptish church and Sister Helena, thank you!

to everyone here today,thank you for being here and sharing this important time of our life.

thank you;)

love

Ready..camera rolling...Action..!! ;)



Our nest was being converted to a lil mini studio today. My family and I are so honoured and excited to be able to contribute in this lil way......filming for Dads For Life.

Dads for Life Movement

Dads for Life is a national movement to inspire and involve fathers to be good influencers in their children’s lives for life. The movement is strongly anchored in research that highlights the distinct benefits of paternal involvement on child development in terms of improved cognitive, socio-emotional, psychological and academic outcomes. Active paternal involvement is also linked to better couple relationships among parents, lower levels of maternal stress, and positive changes in fathers' self-identity, all of which suggest overall benefits for the family.


Dads for Life is an initiative of the National Family Council, and is supported by the Fathers Action Network (FAN).


I thank God that Kai, Faith and Sky were good with their roles. We bursted out laughing a few times but then we got back being serious or else nothing gets filmed. We did have lotsa fun. and we would like to thank Darry Chan and his wonderful team from FCBC {Faith Baptist Community Church} for being so patience with us. I pray that the video send a good message out to all the dads ;)

The rehearsing

simon the patience dad...
sky have to act crying...lolz

faith helping out in the kitchen




faith spilled the milk and refuse to clean it up..and mommy nagging..lolz

we filmed for almost the whole afternoon ;)

I pray that the video comes out good and will send just the right message to fathers out there....

Thank you all for coming by and Have a Blessed Week ahead ;)
