I'm not worried about the press, I'm just concerned over the safety of others.
It may seem so ignorant, it may seem even naive to a certain extent.
I honestly wouldn't care much about what they say.
Wouldn't even begin to comprehend what the people think about it.
But I know for sure, that I'm going to stand my ground.
They say, that if you see me, you see the leaders over me inside.
I am proud to say, that if you see me, you will see even if it's just a little bit, you'll see them in me.
The Inspiration of Huizi.
The Happiness of Shirley.
The Discipline of Qingni.
The Courage of Evan.
The Strength of Vincent.
The Steadfastness of Eugene.
The Meticulousness of Boa Tian.
The Command of Beatrice.
The Servanthood of Alex.
The Smile of Baoling.
The Faith of my Brother.
The Confidence of Jeff.
The Spirituality of Lawrence.
The Helpfulness of Esther.
The Mind of Pastor Derek.
The Caring attitude of Pastor Audrey.
The Wisdom of Pastor Tan.
The Life of Pastor Kong.
All of these leaders, all of them. Have made me who I am today.
Yes, my peers have changed it in a big way too.
However, if it was not for them caring for me day and night.
My life in their minds running this incredible race.
Be it significant or small, I'm changed by all these people.
Pastor Kong, has done so much, he has made me who I am today.
He has done so directly and indirectly.
Every single one of those leaders would not have existed in my life if it wasn't for them.
My parents would not be saved if it wasn't for him.
Shiming wouldn't be saved if it wasn't for him.
I wouldn't have did so many impossibles if it wasn't for him.
Lionel is who he is today because of one man.
I have so much to thank him for, I owe so much to him.
The church, has made my life and I owe everything to it.
Pastor Kong and his ministry cannot be placed in higher reverence in my life.
I understand it now, what it means to stand by someones side.
I will never know what is exactly running through everyones mind.
I really wouldn't know how Pastor is feeling at this very moment.
However, I know one thing, that the tears he shed, are not for himself.
The tears rolling down those cheeks are for us.
Regardless of what they say, I am here, standing, sure of myself.
That if all fall away. I will still say, that I belong to City Harvest.
I have been so for the past 8 years and nothing will change that.
I am sure that every single one of those leaders have made me so sure of it.
Thank you, all of you.
Thank you, Pastor Kong, for the everything, for Lionel.
