what a revelation!
January 16th, 2008
Now I have met another online pastor-friend Rev. Dr. Tony Siew (’Revelation is Real’- see my blogroll) who was in Singapore to give some lectures at Singapore Bible College. He preached in the main service on Sunday. He spoke about the graciousness of God and his text was Zechariah 4: 7. The church was blessed with the anointed message. As we got to know Tony my wife remarked that he is a personification of what he preached: a gentle and gracious person.
He brought along an interesting uncle, a Datuk Dr Alex Ho, a Roman Catholic, who over Whitley Rd prawn noodles, regaled us with entertaining anecdotes about the grace of God upon him as the personal physician to the former and present Johor Sultans and the royal family. He is now an active layman and has designed a program to help Catholics become Bible literate. Interesting character.
Tony Siew did his law and theological degrees and earned his doctorate in New Testament in New Zealand. He is pastor of Likas S.I.B. (Sidang Injil Borneo-450 strong church denomination) in Kota Kinabalu and also district superintendent over 24 churches. He is an ethnic Chinese pastoring the Bahasa Malaysian section of the indigenous churches made up of Kadazan-Dusuns and other tribal peoples of Borneo. To read his blog go HERE.
Very inspiring!!
I admire those who work in non english speaking situations.
Yes I salute them, like Stephen Tay in Turkey who is embedded into their culture. You are one of them too. Praise God.
Do Pastors who blog look alike?
keep it going folks!

I guess we do have some resemblance….
Dear Kenny,
Thanks for your kind words. I am grateful for the opportunity to preach at your awesome church. I never felt the presence of God so strong (in the last few years at least) during worship and that helped my preaching a lot. My experience at SBC is great too having interacted with faculty and staff. All in all a great week in Singapore though I can’t wait to be in Sabah to be with my wife and son. God bless you in your ministry and leadership of the church.
Thanks.
Hi blogpastor,
I have not met Dr. Tony Siew but I do hope to meet him in person one day. I have however met Datuk Dr Alex Ho, We were colleagues in the same hospitals in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
What a small world! What is even more gratifying is to know that he is actively serving the Lord. PTL. A real answer to prayers.
Jesus is Lord of blogosphere!
