A tree is known by its fruit, and actions speak louder than words. It occurs to me as I remember Fred that I can't say I really knew him well, at least personally. But I do know one thing about him - Pastor Fred didn't just talk about the Christian life, he lived it, 24/7. He walked the walk like

看到上面金義民的老照片，真是不勝稀噓．我們化學系的男生， 一向人丁稀散 畢業時只有八九個。 現在祇剩下四五個了！而且各奔東西, 畢業五十四年，超過三四個共聚的時光，祇怕就是在這幾張照片裏了！ 張一岑的追思文章，真切描述了當年宗實的生氣蓬勃的影象。他待人謙和，說話聲音清朗，我記得大一英文班有班際詩歌朗誦比賽，英文老師 Mr. Duglass(?) Spearman 選他唸獨誦部份。”Half a league, half a league!.…… “ 他唸得叫人熱血奔騰，我們果然得了第一名。我遣憾沒聴過他的証道，但想來一定中氣十足 言詞鏗鏘，懇切感人的。 我退休後，我們往來多了些，我們曾在Ne

Few weeks ago while reading I came across a saying: “ask a young man about life’s dreams future and accomplishments and you will get a long winded answer intertwined with many words. ask someone in their 40s and the answer becomes smaller and simpler. Ask someone in their 70s the same question and i

A Man with No Guile It was under rather unusual circumstances that we first got acquainted with Pastor Hsu. We were in Chapel Hill, NC then. During one of his vacations, he and Mrs. Hsu visited her relatives in Chapel Hill, who happened to be our friends also. Chapel Hill was a small college

We can describe Papa Fred with many things. Borrow the comment Jesus said about Nathaniel, I'd say about Papa Fred "Behold, a Son of Heaven indeed, in whom there is no deceit!". To me the most prominent character of Papa Fred is his genuine and earnest desire for the true and living faith. He has a

I didn't know Papa Fred very well. Most of my knowledge of him was through my family who met with him regularly on Zoom and travelled with him in the nations. Perhaps my only memory of interacting with him was once when I was translating for a meeting on Zoom. At the end during the host's goodbye's

震驚牧師突然回天家 難過加懊惱 牧師是我認識的第一個牧者 就像小鴨認親 出生看到的第一眼 就是永遠 每次見到牧師 他的耿直 誠懇 善良 就讓我有好像回到台灣 見到父親的感覺 牧師幫助我們家人很多 （一直想向您道謝 ） 他是一個解惑者 好像你一開口 他就知道問題 而他也不厭其煩地回應 你會完全信任這個人真的是在為你好 來不及 前陣子想要再與你聯絡 總是有藉口 無法成行 很是懊悔 突然翻到書上一頁 「我若不信在活人之地得見耶和華的恩惠 就早己喪膽了 ….當我們受到特別的喪失和痛苦的時候 我們的信心常會動搖起來 我們也會說 我不能再忍受了 我喪膽了 ….當你靈性軟弱時 停止自己的活動 安息 …

Still feel you are here with us! Your love for life, for God, for family, for God’s people and for the global family will be forever treasured. Miss you so much! We will pick up the baton and run the race until we meet again in our heavenly home!

那年研究所畢業， 我們因為工作搬到Somerset， 加入若歌教會， 也有幸於每星期二參加在許牧師家的查經班。 對於一個從小在教會長大的我， 我對許牧師的第一個印象就是「哇！ 許牧師好平易近人， 透明真誠啊！」他不但是我們牧師， 更是我們的朋友， 我們的好鄰居。在信仰上， 生活上， 婚姻上， 甚至在教養孩童上， 他和師母都帶給我們和孩子莫大的祝福， 至今受益無窮. 許牧師離開若歌教會後， 在一些教會活動上， 我們偶然相遇， 聊起天來， 好像不曾別離。 那段美好的「星期二查經班」不會再來， 期待天國再相見。 明聰 & 夢蘭

That was the Ellel's Spiritual Warfare conference in LA hosted by Agape Renewal Center, ARC. Then, the following year summer, I met Rev. Hsu again along with other 20 some brothers and sisters from his church. We were attending school of healing by Singing Waters Ministries in Toronto for 4 we
