A Special Farewell to Gary
Last night, Gary, left to serve in Gracepoint Hsinchu for the next year. In order to show their appreciation for him, the brothers at Gracepoint’s San Francisco campus wanted to do something special. It’s not the most usual way to say goodbye, but through Gary’s response we all learned an important lesson of what not to say after your friends throw you into the ocean. Inspired by Gary, the bloggers at SFSU Koinonia decided to start a new genre of videos called Life Lessons, in the same vein as “That the World May Know” series about John and Joe.

Gracepoint Forum
- People Who Never Heard? December 11, 2009I have a question regarding how we are to understand salvation and consequently, damnation, in the context of the pre-Christ world. Was salvation possible in a pre-christ world? Was it possible in all cultures, outside of Abraham and outside of the Jewish community in formation? If so, how? In-line with this question is another one I have heard twice in the […]

I learned the same lesson one time my mom spanked me. =)
Ha! That’s too much…
Thank you, Gary, for teaching us this valuable lesson!
Gary never fails to deliver.
gary arrived here in taiwan safely this morning and we are looking forward to life lessons such as this one from him =)
Thank you Gary for that lesson, and we’ll miss you!
haha – edwin, i think you got more soaked!
timeless gary – hold nothing back in Taiwan bro!
very awesome.
raised up my spirits.
looking forward to more lessons on humility here at gracepoint hsinchu.
Perhaps Gary can teach us a lesson on “the differences in water temperature after being dunked in SF vs. Taiwan”; perhaps the Taiwan team can help us learn this important lesson next =)
[...] Here are the pictures from our memorable BBQ in Nanliao last Sunday after home church. What’s a beach BBQ in Taiwan without the beach disappearing on us, to be replaced by a crane/bulldozer-like machine (you can see it behind us)?! Also, here are the brothers trying to re-enact the now-infamous “throw Gary into the ocean” video from our Gracepoint, SF campus. You can see the video here! [...]
