USING
TECHNOLOGY TO TEACH THE GOSPEL
While I was in New Zealand, I had the
opportunity to teach the gospel through the use of Skype and Facebook Video.
That has continued since I have returned home. I am helping to teach a Chinese
friend in New Zealand by translating for the teacher and the student. I also
have the opportunity to teach the parents of one of our other Chinese
Christians. He lives in New Zealand, but his parents live in China. He was in
China visiting his parents for most of the month of April. While he was there,
we had several Skype lessons together. I am hoping to expand this means of
teaching to other places both overseas and here in the United States.

Scott
Ingram Taiwan Survey Trip
July 11-25 are the dates for Scott Ingram
and I to travel to Taiwan for him to consider future mission on that island.
Scott is a graduate of Memphis School of Preaching and is currently enrolled in
their Missions Program. I talked to his wife, Alesia, and him at the
lectureship in March.
Scott and I will be visiting three cities
while we are in Taiwan. We will be in Taichung, Hualien, and Taipei. Scott will
be teaching the lessons and I will be translating them for the local brethren.
Please pray for the efforts we will make
on this survey trip.

In
the Meantime…
Before heading overseas, I had the
opportunity to attend some of the gospel meetings being conducted around the
area. Because of the road conditions around Atlanta (there was a major road
closure in downtown Atlanta affecting all of the roads in the area), I decided
not to try to attend some of the meetings which would make it necessary to go
through the Atlanta area. I was able to view the gospel meeting in Bremen, and
was able to attend the gospel meeting in Habersham because it is away from the
Atlanta area. I also attended the Georgia School of Preaching lectures at the Piedmont Rd. church in Marietta.
I continue to prepare materials in English
and Chinese on PowerPoint so that I can have more lessons available to use in the
various places I visit.
I
had the opportunity to take a few days the first few days of May
to
go and make a brief visit with my mother.
I am scheduled to leave for Singapore and
Malaysia on May 18th. This is my 63rd mission trip.
I will be speaking at Jurong English Bible
study and worship on Sunday morning, the Chinese service at Lim Ah Pin on
Sunday afternoon, and Jurong English Bible class on Wednesday night. The next
day I will head up to Malaysia for the remainder of my trip. I will be
conducting a gospel meeting at the Subang Jaya congregation before going to
Ipoh for the Chinese Asian Bible Lectureship. I will speaking on the program
there. After the lectureship, I am scheduled to speak on Sunday morning at the
church in Melaka. I then go back up to the Kuala Lumpur area to speak at the
Section 17 congregation before flying back to Singapore to prepare for the
flight home.
