Uncle Lim

As a Growth Group (GG) we have been truly blessed by Uncle Lim. Shortly after he started his dialysis treatment, as a GG we had communion with him and Aunty Lim every 2nd and 4th Sundays after our GG meetings. Initially, we had decided to go in small groups and take turns to have communion with them. In the end, after every GG meeting, all of us went to his home to have fellowship with both Uncle and Aunty Lim. We would have a short time of praise and worship followed by the holy communion, exhortation and prayer.

We tried everything and everyway to minister to both Uncle and Aunty Lim. We came to minister to them but each time we left their home being blessed They both opened their home and hearts to us. We saw Aunty Lim growing stronger with a desire to walk and to sing praises and listen from the Word. We saw the strain of the dialysis treatment on Uncle Lim, but not once did he say no to our coming for fellowship and communion. He was faithful to the very end.

As a GG, we have had many special memories of Uncle Lim. His best friend was Uncle Chan. Uncle Lim always greeted Uncle Chan as ‘Lo Chan’. At every GG meeting they reserved seats for each other and always sat next to each other.

One Sunday, after our GG had fellowship and communion with him and Aunty lim, as we were saying our goodbyes, Uncle Lim wanted to follow us to the coffee shop in Taman Tun for lunch. We promised him that we would eat together with him, so the next time we came for fellowship and communion, we bought food for everyone from the coffee shop in Taman Tun and ate together with him and Aunty Lim.

At our GG fellowship and communion with him on 28.1.2007, we celebrated Wing Cheong and Sue Ling’s wedding anniversary with a durian cake. Seng Chor fed Uncle Lim a piece of the durian cake and he enjoyed it. Aunty Lim remembered this meeting and she shared it with Seng Chor when a few of us visited her on the Sunday afternoon to pay our respects.

Uncle Lim we will miss you.
