Elder Po Chuen Yeung

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

It is with great sadness that we announce that Elder Po Chuen Yeung, the founding elder of our church, passed away on the morning of Sunday, the 22^nd of July 2012, after a battle with knee joint infection and heart failure.

Many of us will remember Elder Yeung’s constant presence at church, his faith in Christ Jesus and desire to see God glorified. We will also remember his foundational work in building Australia Ling Liang Church into the community that many of us have greatly benefited from.

We do wish to encourage all church members to grieve at the tragedy of this death, knowing that death is the consequence of our sin in this world. However, as Christians, our grief must also come with hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). Since Jesus died and rose again, His people, who live by faith in Him, will also rise again.

We would also like to encourage all church members to be in prayer for Elder Yeung’s family, especially Mrs Yeung, Margaret and Godwin, David and Tim and their family. Please pray that God may be with them and comfort them in their mourning, and that they may receive great comfort from the gospel of Jesus Christ and his promise that ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.’ (John 11:25).

The funeral service will be held on 4^thAugust 2012 (Saturday) at 10.00am at the Camellia Chapel, Macquarie Park, North Ryde. All are welcome to attend.

In Christ,

Australia Ling Liang Church

親愛的主內弟兄姊妹：

我們懷著至深的哀痛通知大家，本教會創辦人、摯愛的楊寶銓長老，因膝頭關節感染及心臟機能衰竭, 於主曆二零一二年七月廿二日(主日)零晨三時，安息主懷。

我們將永遠懷念長老對主的信心及榮神益人的決心。他建立了澳洲基督教會靈糧堂，使多人在當中蒙恩得救。

在此我們期盼教會眾兄姊認識死亡是人犯罪所帶來的結果，然而聖經（帖前4:13-18）提到雖然我們有憂傷，但在主裡是有指望的。如主耶穌曾經為世人死而且復活，信主的人在主再來時也必從死裡復活。

懇請各人在禱告中記念楊長老的家人：楊太、劉楊文德執事、劉啟超理事長等人。讓神的福音及主耶穌基督（約11:25）的應許：「復活在我，生命也在我。信我的人，雖然死了，也必復活。」成為他們的安慰。

安息禮拜 將於主曆二零一二年八月四日（週六）上午十時舉行。

地點：Camellia Chapel, Macquarie Park, North Ryde (cnr Delhi & Plassey Rd)。
