Humility

He is one of the leaders of an organization that represents the largest collection of churches. Membership to this organization requires a submission of statement of faith as well as references from other member churches.

He travels extensively, covering not just the churches and organizations in this land, but also in other places. Most times it is overnight stops that he makes.

One such stop was here, just recently. A busy man, he was constantly meeting with others. I did not want to presume that he would remember me. Nor did I want to impose on his time to greet him. He was a busy man, on a short visit. In any case, it was his wife I knew more.Hence it was most unexpected to turn around from packing my things at the end of the huge gathering to see him standing there, with his gentle smile saying, "I saw you earlier but couldn't get to speak with you."

Who am I that you should leave the crowd of leaders and peers to come over and greet me. I am humbled. I have much to learn from you.

Thank you.

Who is he and what organization does he lead? My curiosity is piqued.

Hi Ps Kenny. The man concerned is the Secretary General of the Malaysian National Evangelical Christian Fellowship (NECF) named Samuel Ang. Perhaps you know him?

Shaw Fung, his wife and I worked together during the Billy Graham Celebration of Hope. Lovely lady. She makes cards during her spare time and when I said how much I liked her work, she makes her husband bring the cards for me each time he visits KK! Amazing couple. So generous, giving and kind =)
