Today was also Pastor Seng's last day. It was rather emotional for me as he was one of the very few Hmong pastors who have garnered the respect of the locals. Not because of his preaching but because of his life.
Ps Seng was an incredible man. He spent most of his youth days helping and supporting missionaries. In those days, so great was the passion to reach the lost that these missionary groups would set out on foot to reach places for Christ. One of this locations took almost 2 months to reach on foot, but to them it was worth it. And to Ps Seng, it was formative in his faith in God.
Towards the end of the service, I thanked this elderly man for teaching me many things. Not only through his preaching but more than that through his life of obedience to God. His life, his good fight of faith and his trust in God was enormous.
Despite getting old and starting to loose sight, he spoke with such conviction and love. Such love that can only come from a life filled with Christ.
My life is humbled by this servant of God.
