A pastor who faithfully served God, a pastor who remembered each and everyone of us by name out of hundreds or thousands he knew, a pastor who shared the Good News about Jesus Christ to anyone and everyone he met, no matter how sick he was, no matter how hard it was for him to just stand up, a pastor who taught us to have strong faith, no matter what circumstances in our life are, a person who certainly have made a difference in this world, who have touched the life and hearts of so many people, a pastor who have brought so many people back to Christ. The world need more people like him.
However, God has other plan. When I visited him in Tan Tock Seng hospital last night, he was struggling in pain, unable to breathe, many internal organs has failed. When we visited him, we gathered around his bed, he can’t talk, but with his hand could only convey message: “Everyone of you ……” He couldn’t continue, clearly in pain. We sang songs, we prayed, we cried. He couldn’t sleep whole night, until about 8.20AM this morning, everyone in the room started singing praise and worship songs. After a couple of songs, about 8.30 AM, when the hymn “Bapa Sorgawi memeliharaku (Heavenly Father taking care of me)”, he held his wife hand very tightly, and seconds later slowly, peacefully, let go to be with our Father in Heaven. Everyone in the room cried, sad, lost, at the same time relieved that his suffering has ended.
What’s left now is his legacy, the memories that he has brought us, the role model, the example of a husband, a father, and most importantly God’s servant. We will certainly miss you, rest in peace, and we’ll see you again in heaven one day Rev. Amin Tjung (24 October 1965 - 22 July 2007)
Please pray for his family, his wife Bu Lita, and three sons, Ezra, Paul, and Kharis.
Thanks for the information Hendrik. I think the title of your post should be “See you”.

It is right what Hendrik said. Ko Amin, the name we usually called him, has became a winner. he has finished the race and kept the faith. I will remember him always as a mentor, brother, pastor, sunday school teacher and friend in Christ that already inspired me with his great model and his love to Christ. WE cried for his homegoing…Good bye, Ko Amin..we will see you again in Heaven. we love you…
