他 們 奔 跑 卻 不 困 倦 ， 行 走 卻 不 疲 乏 。

     What I got from Jesus is: Soar on wings like eagles!

     This is my top No. 5 golden verse which the Lord used the first time in 1982 to change my life. It all happened when I watched "Chariots of Fire" five times in 1982 as I was struggling whether I should listen and obey the call from God to leave my job in the Hong Kong Government as a Music Office to go to seminary preparing myself to become an Anglican priest. It was a time of discernment and of waiting, a real life changing moment. Please go to the two links below to see what happen when the Lord used two special in the movie telling me what He wanted me to do and how I needed to listen and obey. I did, and everything changed.

Yes, Jesus spoke to me in 1982 through this Oscar best movie in 1982 and he has been using those video image and Isaiah 40 to speak to me ever since until now. Every time I watched the movie or just these two video clips again I was full of tears and full of strength! And, I am full of tears and full of strengthen now! And, Michelle, Ignatius and Athan came in knowing that I was crying like a baby and we watched the second video clip together, Michelle wiped out my tears! Eric Liddell said in his soul when he was running, "God makes me fast. When I run, I feel God's pleasure!" Yes, for the past 30 years I have been running for Jesus and I feel God's pleasure!

Let's run for Jesus with all we've got that His name will be honored! 

Dear Lord Jesus,

Lead us to be able to wait for you trusting that you will renew our strengthen that we will soar on wings like eagles.  In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

**1100 DAYS of prayers now!!!

Please sign up for the new 11th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign,

I need your prayers!!!

Please click link below.

**NEW link for the 11th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign(from August 25 to December 03, 2012).

The easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week. What you need to do is very simple. Choose one dayThe easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week to pray for me, my family and my ministry, remembering the ministry of ACiC(ACiC has two Networks: ACiC, Anglican Coalition in Canada and AI, Asian Initiative). You may use the whole hour in prayer or you can still do you work in your office but use as much time as you can to pray and the other time work prayerfully that hour to pray for our ministry. This campaign is also to teach you that you need somebody to pray for you daily. I have been prayed for hourly the past 1,100 days and I have never experienced this kind of peace and protection before. It's just beyond words can express. If I did not listen and obey to Jesus call 1,100 days ago to start this prayer movement, I think I would be pulled into darkness and discouragement already! I deeply believe that this is a way to draw as many participation as we can in prayers. I encourage you to participate. We need you to join us! Trust in the power of prayers!
