| Isaiah 61:1 |
Dinah and I are so happy to welcome our twins to HK on Friday. They rest a little and then we join the rehearsal for this Sun. This is followed by dinner and Fortress Prayer. The start of a very memorable weekend!
Crystal and Eunice take the twins shopping on Sat. Dinah and I catch up with Michael and Kerry. Afterward the twins finalise their testimonies as Dinah and I join the Sat service. Our family reunite at dinner in Ting Kau villa. Later Dinah refines their testimonies as I firm up my sermon.

| Starting from Punggol |
Sunday morning starts with makeup then we rehearse and pray. The first service get going when the Nkhoma's are being commissioned. In the second service, we get right into the re-enactment segment. This is the first time we serve together in HK! It's super enjoyable : )
This is immediately followed by Deborah sharing her testimony. Then Daniel shares his testimony. Both their sharing touch me deeply. I am moved as I go to preach. Then I see my brother with his wife and their son on the second row. Now I'm choking as I start preaching.

| Re-enactment |
I'm so excited to have my family and my brother's family present. I speak from Isaiah 61. Then my spiritual papa, Pastor Joshua comes up to wrap up the sermon segment. He then invites our entire family onto the platform. He addresses Deborah and Daniel. Then we are invited to kneel. Each person from the leadership team prays for us one by one. I feel impartation upon impartation as pastor after pastor lay hands on me!
Pastor Deborah prophesies for us and our new church. It's so inspiring. Several areas are similar to the prophecy we received on 28th Sep in Macau.

| Commissioning |
Our spiritual mama C-Mo presents us gifts. Each one is meaningful. She addresses Dinah on her new role as C-Mo of Garden City. Pastor Joshua addresses me. The entire time is filled with joyful moments. There is much laughter. This commissioning is totally unconventional.

| A joyful affair |
We take photos together with the congregation. This is our family in Hong Kong! Our commissioning service ends with a song and a benediction. Touching!
Right after, the Eagles team rush up to take photos together with us. Friends come up with gifts. Our former cell group come to take photos. My brother's family just join in. Cos the next service is starting!

| Family celebration |
We join the third service where the Masons will be commisioned. Afterward there's an official photoshoot. Then photos with various ones. Incuding our cell group.
Finally we bid goodbyes, gather gifts and go back in a taxi. We leave the suits and gifts at home. We go celebrate with my brother and his family. And later with our housemates. 127 is a special, special day!
