Life is full of decisions, isn’t it?
Yesterday, Tim sent in two emails about two conflicting events for the Saturday, 8th of November. First of all, Evangelical Formosan Church (EFC) has organised an evangelistic meeting at Westley Mission, with a music group all the way from Taiwan, called Heaventunes. On the other hand, SaltLight, a Sydney-based Christian music production, will launch their first album “This Way Up” at Newtown on the very same day. Two ways to live out my Saturday night…
Here’s a table with pros and cons.
| |
Heaventunes |
SaltLight |
| Pros |
- Famous established group in Taiwan doing their world tour.
- A dose of Chinese theology and their way of doing ministry. Might be useful when we encounter more and more Chinese Christians.
- Evangelistic message presented in Chinese, hopefully in Mandarin.
- Opportunities to meet with other Mandarin speaking Christians in Sydney, especially those from Taiwan.
|
- Local, home-breed Asian-Australian Christians with Biblical theology.
- Good music. I heard that they have very good music.
- I actually personally know some performers.
- I need to pick up my copy of “This Way Up”.
|
| Cons |
- Even though it is part of the adventure, but I always felt suspicious in this kind of musical evangelistic meetings from Taiwan, from my past experience.
- Might be in Hokkien/Taiwanese dialect, which I can’t understand.
- No idea how much it costs.
|
- Not in Mandarin so friends in MBF might not be that interested.
- Neither is Vivian interested.
- Main program starting from 8:30pm, and it sounds like an all nighter to me. Am I too old for this kind of thing?

See the dilemma?
Hmm.. yes quite a dilemma. Well, you know I’m biased in favour of Saltlight (and hey, you know me and Andrew.. sort of.. I guess maybe we could finally meet you if you came.. hehe).
Just a clarification about the times… doors open 7:30pm for refreshments, and the main program (the music) will start at 8:30.. but it won’t go for very long, and the main program will be finished by 9:30pm, and the whole thing will be done by 10pm. So its not a late night at all. :)
Anyway, be great if you could come!
Err. I just emailed Vron that someone else will pick up the CD for me…
Hopefully there will be a bunch of guys from International Unichurch going (Ben and Faith from ESF has been inviting). At the end no one really studies on the Saturday before the Stuvac.
Actually, I was gonna say… No, I don’t see the dilemma…
Hehe…
hi! it’s Vron… you can just get a ticket at the door, if you decide to come! Yes, it will be a relatively early night.
