The Conclusion to this book on the life and work of Dr John Sung by one of his pupils is a sort of epilogue. Yet, we have here another written by the same pupil, but since it was penned in 1970, thirty-five years after his first visit to Singapore, so that the Singapore Pentecost was seen from a nearer perspective, it may be well for us to reprint it. Titled 'John Sung, Man With A Mission,' it was a contribution to the 35th year commemorative magazine of the Singapore Christian Evangelistic League founded by the evangelist, and faithfully carried on by his followers under Miss Leona Wu. The article reads:

"The commemoration of the thirty-fifth year of the found­ing of the Singapore Christian Evangelistic League on September 8, 1970 would be in vain if the spirit and ideals of her founder, Dr John Sung, are not revived in her dwindling members! As one who received a portion of his spirit in the days of Pentecostal power outpoured on Singapore, 1935­-1939. and as a member of the first preaching bands. I would like to point out one aspect of Dr Sung's ministry that brought such mighty success.

"John Sung was a man with a mission. He was a man doing something not only under Mandate from a Higher One, but also with an Urgency to Finish it. Well could China's apostle say in the words of our Lord. 'I have meat to eat that ye know not of…. My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.' (John 4:32.34). This is my observation as I recall the urgent tones of the evangelist pleading with souls from the Telok Ayer Methodist Church pulpit in a fortnight-long campaign of forty-two graduated, power-charged sermons lasting two to two-and-a-half hours each. This is my observation as I remember his parting words, evidently in the words of Hezekiah (Isa 38:5), 'The Lord has given me only fifteen years to finish my work. So I can afford no let-up in this revival ministry to turn all China and Southeast Asia to Christ.' No wonder he was able to cover the China continent and the following countries of Southeast Asia with his evangelistic footprints, viz., Hong Kong, Formosa. Philippines, Indo-China, Thailand, Burma, Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak, and Indonesia. Wherever he went he ‘won thousands to Christ, from whom evangelistic bands were organized, and scores consecrated for fulltime service,' according to a tablet in the John Sung Memorial Chapel, Chin Lien Bible Seminary. Lyall's book on John Sung, 'the Flame for God in the Far East,' relates from an investigation he made in these lands of the lasting effectual­ness of the fruits of John Sting's ministry. Truly the Holy Spirit had worked intensively through him, and very exten­sively too - because he pursued relentlessly the course and extent of the mission mapped for him by the Master.

"Whilst it has not pleased God to raise up another John Sung after two-and-half decades (he died in Peking 1944). 1 believe it is God's will that his followers (1 Cor 11: 1) renew the understanding of their original call and resolve to accomplish it within their lifetime. Let them also say with the Lord, 'My meat is to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work.' Are you and I men with a mission?

"In this connection it gives me consolation to note that one of John Sung's co-workers, Miss Leona Wu, has understood clearly God's will for her life and has been faithfully following through to finish her work. The evidence of this observation is the Chin Lien Bible Seminary from which 168 women and men during the last 33 years have been trained to carry on the Gospel ministry in Southeast Asia.

"As those having a part in the training of the English-speaking through the Far Eastern Bible College it is our prayer that we might he reimbued with the John Sung spirit. What is that portion of work God has committed to our charge? Be it so small, so insignificant? Let us do it now, and finish it!

"Jesus Christ, the God-Man with a heavenly mission, came down to earth 1,970 years ago. He began to preach at thirty but was abruptly cut off after three-and-a-half years. However, He finished His ministry, culminating in the saving work on the cross. He hastened on with each day's work toward this End, as He said in healing the man born blind, I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work' (John 9:4).  John Sung, man with a mission, followed in His steps to finish his work. If we do likewise, we shall yet see another outreach of the gospel with Pentecostal dimensions."

I want to walk where Jesus walks

   Along life's narrow way

He comes to our Emmaus Road

   And talks with us today!

He hears our sighs and all our woes.

   He kneels with us to pray.

I want to walk where Jesus walks:

   He wipes my tears away.

May pathway leads from the Empty Tomb

   Where He arose from the dead!

It brings me to the Upper Room

   Where all my friends are met.

With Thomas I shall worship Him,

   And I'll call Him my Lord.

O won't you give your heart to Him?

   Jesus the Son of God!

And from the lone Emmaus Road

   Christ leads His followers on:

He meets with us in Galilee,

   And gives our hearts a song.

Returning to Mount Olivet

   We hear His last command:

Go ye, go into all the world

   Go ye, go into all the world

Go ye, go into all the world

   And preach the Word of God!

I want to walk where Jesus walks

   And serve Him all the way….
