January – The Last Full Month Before Heading Back to the States
The month of January was just as busy as every other month while we live and work from our Indonesian base. I continue to have on-line classes and services almost every day of the week. Sunday is a day full of Bible study and worship services in both English and Chinese.
Regular Classes and Worship
As you know, because of covid, all of the Asian countries where I would travel to teach and preach are still closed.
However, we are thankful for the internet which allows us to continue to have a part in Bible study and worship services in Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan. In the new year, I will also have the opportunity to speak to the brethren at the Church St. congregation in the city of Melbourne, Australia. This will also be through an internet platform.
As interest continues, I will take part in online Bible study with the Subang Jaya congregation in Malaysia, as well as the Section 17 congregation there as well. I have the privilege to take part in both English and Chinese services.
In addition, I still take part in the weekly chapel services at Four Seas College (Chinese Department). Even though I am not currently teaching a course there, I am in preparation to begin teaching “Church History” the end of February. I am currently preparing my bi-lingual PowerPoint charts that I will use in the class. I use both English and Chinese on the charts to enable some who speak Chinese but do not read it well to be able to follow the notes. It takes me a great deal of time to prepare these charts.
During the month of January, I renewed my Indonesian visa. Thanks so much for my wife, who made this process very easy and smooth. We had no problem with the renewal. Especially in light of covid, it is very important that I keep my visa current. It is the only way that I can continue to travel back to my Asian base. It is hard to say when other Asian countries will open to tourists.
Currently, the only visa my wife has for the United States is a tourist visa, so she is only able to remain in the US a few months at a time. It is also much easier to coordinate classes and services from this side of the world because of the time difference only being an hour different from Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and China.
Eta and I are scheduled to return to the USA on Feb. 10th. We will be in the states until April 20th. We are looking forward to visiting with many of our brethren during that time.
We are so thankful for all of our brethren who continue to support our work among the Chinese and Asian people. Without your support, we would not be able to continue this work. We continue to be excited about the part we can have in evangelizing and working among Asian people. May the Lord continue to bless us in His work.
