ON FATHERS
Jenny Ching-Mumenthaler, Switzerland
Thanks for your write-ups and to remind us about fathers especially our own. Strangely enough, there is no Father’s Day in Switz., only mothers’ day. So glad you were able to really make sure he accepted Christ before he went home. They are all in peaceful heaven now….a great place to be. Like your other articles too.

Thanks for sharing your story and San’s. After reading San’s story, it brought back my memory of your dad. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to play violin with your dad. Although I had only taken violin lesson for a year or two in middle school, he had me play with him and his friend one Saturday afternoon at his office. And guess what! We played Falling Leaves! I was eager to find the music sheet after reading San’s story but it may take me a while. I even have a picture of the three of us which I will attempt to look for it one day.

ON MOTHERS
Telly Chow, Hongkong.
I too was another life touched by Auntie Louise. When I first came to HK, she included me as family and introduced me to play piano duet with her, invited me to the weekly family meal gathering. Auntie Louise and Adore invited me to the Women Aglow meeting in 1987, which ignited my heart to receive Christ as my Savior and my life was never the same again. This is the biggest impact for my life’s journey!
Auntie Louise’s words “Forgive everyone and don’t be a busybody” still resonate in my mind, truly this is a powerful statement and a secret to happiness. I am remind myself all the time!

I truly enjoyed your account regarding your mother. I remembered vividly those Saturday evenings in late 1950’s spent at your home in HK for dinner and afterwards playing music with a group of young musicians directed by Arrigo Foa, conductor of HK Symphony; (your dad playing the saxophone, you the cello, Sammie the clarinet and me the violin). I remembered your mom being so distinguished looking, always capable and charismatic! Every time when I think of your mom and dad it always bring out comfort and warmth in my heart!

Thank you Goldie. Thanks for sharing the wonderful memories of your mother Louise! Happy Mothers’ Day!
Steve Oh, Perth.
A special day for Mother is nice to see
And every day with Father is the way to be
God our Heavenly Father lights our way
God bless our beloved mothers in every way.

Thank you for your articles and may we wish you too happy mother’s day. We pray the good lord shower His blessings upon you as you both continue to inspire many who read your stories and advice
Reona Lombard, Perth
We were so touched to read the article on your dear Mother. The hidden beauty of her great life seemed to be the simplicity with which the journey was undertaken. Surely that must have been her quiet confidence in the Lord. We were very touched by your mother’s godly wisdom and were so honoured to meet her and have her play duets with me on my grand piano in our home. What an honour to have her in your family.
Dixie Chua, Spore
I used to correspond with your mother for many years. Reading your article about her made me miss her letters even more! She had been a very generous person especially to those who were musically inclined! Our family received a lot of help from her. She might not have mentioned it to you but I just cannot forget how good she was towards us. I like to recall some of the kind deeds she showed to us, not to glorify a person but to remember how God used her to provide our needs. (See also “More about my Parents Renald & Louise Ching“)

Thanks for reminding us about Father’s Day, which was yesterday! I wish all the fathers the best of yesterday and for the rest of the year starting from their very special day. I also read your message, “Adios, till we meet again Dear Dad”, and was very touching. Especially the photo of him and you in our family orchestra. That orchestra, conducted by the Italian Professor Foa made a huge impact on me as a kid, for every Saturday, people gathered in our home on Cumberland Road, ate a dinner in the garden, then got out their instruments to play Falling Leaves and the ilk. I can see the young people playing and hear the music to this day. (See also “More about my Parents Renald & Louise Ching“)

AUTHENTIC PARENTING
Ps Patrick Chen, Perth
Interesting book review:
“ We understand postmodern kids better. DeMuth not only defines terms for the reader and points out pitfalls of this cultural shift, but she demonstrates how parents can tap into the strengths of the postmodern culture, such as the thirst for authenticity and transparency, the encouragement of community over individualism, and the denouncement of materialistic lifestyle.
Simon Dias, Bangladesh
Your write up is always a source of blessings and encouragement to rededicate my life for the glory of our Lord. May He continue to use you more powerfully and preciously? Your commitment and love for Jesus is rare in the world. You will be honoured by our God.

Thank you for your news. I was very interested about the Kellerberrin visit. My husband visited in between the two Perth4Jesus visits. Kellerberrin is my home town. We stayed with Judi and Saun who were certainly walking with Jesus. God is so good. God bless you.

Dear Goldie, I’m Chimene a Ywam missionary from Cameroon, at the moment in the Philippines doing a Bible School. I’m a friend of Dr Andrew Kam. He forwarded me your website and I was very touched by the wonderful testimony. I was also touched and encouraged by your testimony of 51 years of marriage, that’s amazing!!!! Congrats and many blessings on you, your family and ministry!

Shalom. Hello Mrs. Chong. Hope you are doing well. You might not remember me but I’m the daughter of Phyllis Balaoeg. She worked for your family in Hongkong before. My mother has gone to glory. She had lymphoma and died January 27, 2009. She’s in a better place now. She loved your family so much. She told me that you went to the Philippines several times, she was really happy to see you and Dr. Chong. Thank you for your kindness to my mom. Thank you also for recommending me to the Teo family. I am currently living here in Memphis TN with my husband David. He is a Baptist minister and we’re serving a small church here. Please give my regards to Dr. Chong. God Bless. Ruth

Dear Goldie & Tek, Wilson passed to be with the Lord on the 20th.January. He had been ill for 8 weeks. He was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in July last year but he was on oxygen only two months. Our Baptist Church family have been very supportive to myself and the family.

Pamela Cheung, Malaysia
Hello dear Goldie, it’s a pleasant surprise that we have Rose and my old schoolmate Denison as our mutual friends. I knew you a long time ago in Hong Kong in the late 70s. You were very kind and warm to me when I was a stranger in HK with 3 young children and quite impoverished. I always remember your kindness but lost touch. Hopefully we may meet again. God bless you n your family. My best Wishes to all in your family. I remember your doctor husband and your three daughters. My name was Rosalind Cheung but when I reverted to my Chinese name Peng, it got anglicized to Pam hence I am now Pamela Cheung.
