Ted has been an inspiration and a pioneer in the Chinese Christian community and has dedicated his life
to serving God. He will be missed by everyone whose lives he touched in many different ways.
When I heard the news that Mr. Ted Hsueh went to be with the Lord, I
was quite sad for his family, for CCL/CCI and for myself. His family members lost their beloved
husband/brother/father/grandfather; CCL/CCI families lost a founder/pioneer/visionary; and I lost
my
mentor/faithful friend. One Bible verse came to my mind to describe him -- he had fought a good
fight,
he had finished the course, he had kept the faith (II Timothy 4:7).
Sorry to hear about your brother 孔奇哥哥 went to the Lord ! He had been a good role
model for us. I always remember his happy smile kind words.
Our prayers and condolences are with you and family. May God comfort you and his family with His
Loving Words! Now he is embraced in the arms of our Lord with no more sufferings in this world.
He is enjoying his everlasting happy life in Heaven.
So sorry to hear about Ted. He was one of the pioneers of Christian ministry, setting an example
for
us younger ones. He was my boss in the China Research Department of CLC briefly in 1979/80. May
your
family be comforted, William, by the fact that he is more alive in the presence of Jesus now than
any of us. We thank God for his life and witness.
Thank Jesus our Lord for His blessed assurance with eternal hope and peace. Thank God brother Ted
is
now resting in His loving embrace, of our good Shepherd Jesus .
Dear Brother Ted,
Thank God for giving you as my spiritual mentor while I was in HK. All those years studying God's
words together had helped me grow more like Christ. Your selfless example of forfeiting your
rights
to care for others, particularly those suffering in China, has inspired me to serve the
underprivileged in my planning career all these years.
As for you, "to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Phil1:21). You have lived a full and fruitful
life for your Saviour, Teacher, and Lord! While deeply missing you for now, I look forward to our
reunion in a far better place for which you had been yearning for so long. Your legacy will
continue
to live in me and among those you have touched!
May God be gloried by your faithful service.
Coming to your home every year is one of my earliest and most consistent memories. When I was
young,
I was blessed by your generosity; as I grew older, I was further blessed by your kind heart and
wisdom. It has been my pleasure to have known you and heard you speak about your faith and the
growth of Christianity in this city and beyond. You have impacted countless lives and truly been
salt and light in this world. I pray that your good work is continued by the many people you have
discipled. May you rest in peace in the Lord's presence.
深願孔奇哥哥好好安息，他日天家再見！
感謝孔奇哥哥我們主日學老師的循循善導。您的講解誘導，言猶在耳，銘記於心，謝謝。
I have many fond memories of Uncle Ted. You knew he was around because of his smile and his
kindness. He was a passionate man and he loved life. We usually saw him in California during our
many family reunions, and I remember as a kid being impressed by how easily he switched from HK
driving rules to US driving. It seemed he was always at ease wherever he went. I have another fond
memory of going as a big group in California to see the first Jurassic Park. I loved that he
wanted
to see it just as much as the kids. When I was laying over in HK in the 1990s, during several
trips
to China as a college student and then as a teacher, he welcomed me into their home and gave me a
sense of belonging. Knowing that I had a home in HK at that time was an incredible source of joy
and
comfort. I sat in his Volvo that he drove and always felt spoiled. And yet I knew underneath it
all,
from the bits my dad told me, that Uncle Ted was a faithful and devoted man of God. The full reach
of his life's work is not something I comprehend, but I know he lived out his faith in his love
for
others. In most of my memories of Uncle Ted, his boisterous laugh is the soundtrack. I realized
later in life how he and his siblings all carried some of that same humor gene, and it must have
helped them greatly all these years. I feel fortunate to have seen their generation, despite all
the
struggles and their geographic separation, realize themselves so fully and with a great passion
for
life. I will always cherish you, Uncle Ted.
