Chapter 1 A Consecrated Life - Far Eastern Bible College

his speech was slurred and could hardly be heard. But God had given
Richard the same promise He gave to Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My
grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in
weakness.” And he simply trusted God to fulfil this promise for him.
With God’s help, Richard soon did better than all his fellow students.
He suffered much and endured more hardship in his studies than all the
other students and, after four years of study, graduated in 1996 with first
class honours. And over the years, he had also gone for speech training
and was able to preach well after that. Since his graduation, Richard has
continued to serve the Lord faithfully, in preaching, in conducting Bible
studies, and in teaching at the Centre for Biblical Studies. I trust that
God is going to use him to do great things.
Dear reader, if God can so marvellously use the life of one who is
so physically handicapped and infirmed, should you ever think that He
cannot do much with your life?
