FROM THE DESK OF TEK & GOLDIE

Since early in Asian Beacon’s history, the Dear Goldie section has been a perennial favourite in our magazines. Over the years, Tek and Goldie Chong, have helped and counselled many Christians seeking for advice on tough life issues and questions. Through this column, they have also shared sincere and inspirational stories of real meetups with people, straight from their heart, to encourage the Body of Christ in this region.

Asian Beacon is jubilant to announce the return of the Dear Goldie column as part of our digital magazine. Now known as From the Desk of Tek and Goldie, this is a wonderful opportunity for you as the reader to connect with us and the Chongs. We also hope through the return of this column that we will be able to engage better with you as our reader.

Introducing the Chongs

For long-time readers of Asian Beacon, Tek and Goldie Chong are no strangers. For our newer followers, however, it may be useful to provide a short introduction for the Chongs.

Tek and Goldie have been involved in publishing, editing, and writing for Asian Beacon since its inception in 1969 in Malacca, Malaysia. In 2014, the Chongs had their own vision and mission, which they felt could be better served by starting their own digital blog at deargoldie.com. Through this digital blog site, they kept in touch with their circle of friends and contacts, sharing stories about life and experiences.

After a short hiatus, the Chongs have returned to work closely with Asian Beacon. Both the Chongs and Asian Beacon feel that this is a timely occasion where they can provide a column to edify the Christians in this region again.

The From the Desk of Tek and Goldie column will be a monthly one featuring Q & A (similar to the Dear Goldie section from past magazines), articles, testimonies, teaching, news, and personal observations.
