The "Four" Pillars of Poly Men Ministry

Being an avid lover of Hong Kong TVB Dramas (that's where I picked up most of my Cantonese besides talking to my Granny...), I just started watching this drama called "The Four". I just love TVB's iterations of various ancient chinese novels though their endings often leave much to be desired.

It tells the story of 4 vagrants coming from different backgrounds and band together to form a special group of constables. One's a heartless cripple, another a wilful wonderer and not-to-forget a steel fisted warrior and a cold blooded killer. Totally unique in their own right, you think it would be hard for them to come together but they all have a common goal: Justice. (sounds cliche i know)

As I watched this series, a single tear rolled down my face. Its nostalgic and really brings back the good old times that i had in the past too. It reminded me of this photo:


It was taken during my birthday last year~and I really treasure this friendship and brotherhood with these people. God is really wonderful and these people have really impacted my life alot. Being the youngest out of them didn't matter. We were bounded by a common vision and that is to be the pillar of the Poly guy's ministry for others to model. Even amidst the fulfillment of this vision, as some of us are in different life station and are in different levels of leadership and ministry, I really love these people alot.

Raymond Ng (The Family-Man):

A wonderfully engaging person. He makes you feel comfortable and is a great listener. A very fatherly-person. Raymond, I have learnt greatly from your acts of service towards others, your heart for your people, your heart of servanthood for those around you. The reason why you are so well-liked and remembered by many is because when people see how you serve, how you love others, they are attracted to love others as well. Continue to grow in Adults and focus on God. Glad to see you share about your CG! Stay strong in the Lord!

Colin Seah (The Manager):

An excellent manager in the sense that he knows how to manage groups efficiently, how to mobilise and utilize people to their fullest potential and strengths. Just like his nick Eagle Eye, he is able to spot many potential people. If he was born in the era of "The Three Kingdoms", he could fight with Cao Cao/Zhou Yu/Zhuge Liang but God has called him to lead his people in this generation. Being my shepherd for 2 years as well, I have learnt much from him as his focus on expanding God's kingdom is an inspiration to others.

Jeremiah Wong (The General):

The front-liner of any army troop, the voice of any team. He is the Manliness of the Manliness. Charismatic, knowleagable and focused for God. He is inspiring and the fruits in his group really show it all. He may look serious but if you take some time to get to know him and understand his conviction, he can be an inspirer to any. He has a really big heart for God and we are definitely gonna build this Guy's ministry strong yea!

In the eyes of Man, we may lose completely to F4, Farenheit etc. but in the eyes of God and his Kingdom, we're the ultimate winners. Stay strong bros~
