dad & taichi

There were quite a few people who used taichi to describe dad and what he did. We had wanted to post this video clip we showed at his memorial services, but never got the chance until now. Thanks to Eddie & Eric of god-platform (主要平台) for sharing this great work of theirs...

we miss you, dad!


與您在天家再見...

父親已於一月三日零晨三點返回天家與天父在一起。我們為父親的生命感謝神，感謝他既是我們的父親，也是我們的朋友，感謝他對事奉神和神的子民的奉獻，感謝他對門徒訓練持續的熱誠，也感謝他與我們一起的日子對我們所付出的愛和祝福。

我們懷念你，父親。
