Rev. Dr. Stephen Tong is Well and Will Preach at Christmas Gospel Rallies across 18 Cities
To those who heard about Rev. Stephen Tong being hospitalised prior to his gospel rally in Malaysia, I can reassure you that he is well and will be preaching the gospel across 18 different cities in December!

I admit, I am most encouraged and inspired to know that despite his unimaginable physical ‘discomfort’ (he had vertigo that day in Malaysia), he didn’t ‘pity’ himself.
Instead he went beyond his physical limitation and weakness.
After the hospital visit and a few hours of rest at the hotel, he chose to continue to go to the pulpit and preach the gospel to some 4000 people, for 1.5 hours with his eyes closed to overcome his vertigo.
(I mean, WHO would do that??)
…
Throughout his 60+ years of ministry, he consistently shows how his love for His Redeemer and His people is way more than his love for selfRev. Tong did his part and stayed faithful to his calling.
Being 80yo with physical limitations does not stop him from serving the Lord.
Throughout his 60+ years of ministry, he consistently shows how his love for His Redeemer and His people is way more than his love for self.
And, we all witnessed how God blessed and strengthened His servant who fought hard against his weak flesh.
Looking at what he did, I told myself: If I, a little over half his age, ever give up or take a step back, especially from ministries, due to any ‘discomfort or inconvenience’, I should feel ashamed, very ashamed of myself.
…
Anyway.
Let’s keep praying for him and for many more to be raised in this generation and the next.
And, may WE and many others catch on this fire and fighting spirit, too!
May God help us all 🙏🏻
