Welcome to the resource site on the ministries of the Rev. Dr. Stephen Tong. This site is a personal site maintained by Elder Yong Teck Meng (Dr. Tong's translator in Singapore) and is NOT an official site supported by STEMI (Stephen Tong Evangelistic Ministries International). STEMI cannot be held responsible for any opinion expressed within this site. The site started off as a depository for Elder Yong's summaries on the weekly translation for Dr. Tong's expository preaching on the book of Hebrews (held practically every Sunday evening 7.30 pm at Newton Life Church, Singapore). Since October 2000, Dr. Tong has been preaching from the book of Hebrews in a verse by verse manner. His powerful preaching has attracted a steady group of participants, and Elder Yong has been translating the Mandarin messages into English weekly. In February 2002, Elder Yong started to send out email summaries of the sermons to a small group of recipients who cannot make it to the evening sermons. Before long, the distribution list increased and more and more people requested to be on the listing, and wanted past sermon summaries as well. People also started to post questions to Elder Yong relating to the sermons and other faith-matters. Hence, this site was constructed as a platform for all to share in the ministry of the Rev. Dr. Stephen Tong, widely regarded as the most prominent Mandarin-speaking evangelist in the world today. While Dr. Tong preaches from time to time in English, his ministries are mainly conducted among Mandarin and Indonesian-speaking audiences. Elder Yong began participating in Dr. Tong's ministry in 1997 and has been translating for Dr. Tong on many occasions ever since (together with 4 unpublished translations of Dr. Tong's books). His vision is to bridge the English-speaking world to the ministry of Dr. Tong, allowing the English-speaking Christian to be encouraged and uplifted by the faithful and often unique exposition of the Word of God by a true servant of God.
