I am in love with life and want each day to count for eternity. My life is blessed with a wonderful wife, five amazing children and very special friends that I love with all of my heart.
Before you blink at the five kids, our oldest two are married. But, we love our in-law children so much that we count them as our own, hence the number five. We have a ball every time we get together.
Don’t blink about my inclusion of friends. Besides family, friends are an amazing gift from God. When we can be real with them and still have them love us anyway, what could be more fantastic? I treasure those very special lives that love me and let me love them. It is a blessing to know that friendship touch my heart and ignites a special fire that convinces me that heaven is real.
I suppose that I am a thinker. My days start early and run relatively late. Rarely is there a moment that passes where I am not noodling over something or someone.
The outdoors is a great love. My interests are bicycling, fishing, hiking, hunting, and motorcycling. Everything revolves around the greatest love of my life, Jesus Christ.
I am privileged to serve as the President of Michigan Theological Seminary. Here we watch lives miraculously transformed into effective ministers and leaders who are ready to impact the world for Christ. They make an impact by reproducing others who in turn reproduce disciples for Christ. Look over our website and see how we might form a partnership.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit. This blog has only one purpose. I would like to know that you came by found encouragement to continue on your spiritual pilgrimage. Tell others who might need a little boost in life to stop by too. There’s always room and the water is cool and refreshing.
Eager for HIS Return!

Dear Dr. Fong. Thank you for coming to I.S.I. in K.C. MO. today. I got to hear you and I was greatly moved. I needed to hear what you had to say. I especially could relate to a stressed person. After hearing you tell us about some of the reasons why we are stressed I could not help but ask the Lord to forgive me. I have not had a close relationship with God and that is the beginning of lots of lesser problems. I have not been the spiritual leader I should have been to my wife and my children. I think because of that my wife has no respect for me and my children think I am a joke. I am stressed so bad my doctor has been telling me for a long time that I have to get rid of my stress. Most of it comes from my marriage. The rest from my business and I think a lot of it comes from the fact that I know I am not walking with the Lord as I should. All I could do was cry out to God for help. Some how I need to repent and start a new life with Him and my wife and family. I am so glad you came and I was able to hear you. Keep up the good work. Bob

May God bless you, Bob. All of our struggles are in the palm of His hand. May His grace be completely sufficient for you. Get connected with Godly men in your church. They will walk with you through these waters.

I thought I had visited your blog site before, but I guess I was just reading articles that you had sent me links to. Now that I’ve actually seen “the real thing”, I’m amazed at how full and rich it is. Great job! It’s going to take some time to catch up on the stories that I’m behind on. I’ll get right on it . . .

I just read “John Woke Up.” That’s pretty amazing…I didn’t know that anyone could walk around while in an induced coma. How blessed we are to have such advanced medicine these days! I’m glad John is returning to health. I’m sure you and his other family and friends will never forget those two weeks, even though he can’t remember them.
Blessings,
Nicole

Well, hello Bruce (or should I say DR. FONG)
This is a voice from the past. A friend sent me the link to your blog. I’m not very computer literate, I know mainly the basics. I had to respond to your blog. I’m sure you remember Jon and Joanne DeBondt.
I, Joanne, work at Fairway Drug in Lynden, Washington, and have for the last 19 years. Your articles on watch repair struck a chord with me, as I replace batteries and bands on a regular basis as a free service to our customers that purchase them from us. Word spreads rapidly when people find out there is a free service available :o) .
I haven’t checked all your links out yet, I just received an email from a friend, Sandy Hallberg, that had a link to your blog. I couldn’t believe it so I jumped right on this opportunity to contact you. Our youngest, Kraig, is 34, so that means it was that long ago that you made what was, I believe, your first visit to a church member in the maternity ward, post-delivery, and called on me. :o)
Well, the Lord Bless you, Bruce, and I will be praying for you. I hope to be in touch with you through email soon.
Looking for His return,
Joanne DeBondt
