- I went to a pet shop at Roxy Square to meet Carol and Ruth. Before I entered into the shop, I saw the word “Luke” in Uncle Thomas name. Out of curiosity, I asked him if his name is Luke. That’s when he started to tell me his parents heritage are Jews, he knew about the Torah, he knew about the bible because his helper attends a Catholic church. I told him yes, I heard of Torah, but it is not complete as there is a New Testament, and that Jesus is the Messiah, the resurrected God, who came to heal the sick and the brokenness and set the people free. He then told me that he was looked down by customers who patronize his pet shop but did not really buy anything and even threw sarcastic remarks at him. After talking for some time, Carol and I actually wanted to invite him to church but he mentioned he doesn’t want to burden other people in the church to help him up in church. Before we left, we prayed for him. I felt the Lord wanted to heal his wounded heart and reconfirmed again his name as Luke. So, I lead him in prayer to accept the Holy Spirit to come into his heart so that he will be illuminated in his mind to know that Jesus is the resurrected God, the same God today, 2000 yrs ago and the days to come. And He is a miracle working God. After I finished praying, Uncle Thomas cried. I believe that day, Holy Spirit is working in his heart.
- On the way back to church, Padma and I went to the female restroom above the NTUC at Katong V. I was looking for paper towel after washing my hands but could not find it. I was about to go off, an Indian lady standing next to me (who is wearing NTUC uniform) told me that it is hidden below the mirror. I thanked her and commented to her that she is beautiful and if she was a beauty pageant before. She smiled and said no. I asked her what is she working as at NTUC as I noticed she was wearing an apron, thinking she could be helping at the butcher counter. She replied she works at the vegetables side. I casually asked her if she is staying in the east side of Singapore. She answered she lives in Johor and daily commute in and out between Johor and Singapore and has to goes out of her house as early as 4am every day because she starts work as 8am. Before I left, I asked her if I could prayed for her and she agreed. I sensed that she has hurt in her heart and pray for God to heal her hurt and heal the relationship in her family. Padma was my translator and prayed in Tamil to her. She cried after we prayed for her. We told her where we are from, and if she is free on Sunday or Saturday, she can come to visit us.
