We Are Back in the United States
On January 25th, we headed back to the United States, to be here until the first part of May.
After a fifty-hour trip, we made it safely to Texas. We first traveled from Lampung, Sumatra to Jakarta. We had a ten-hour layover there waiting on our next flight to Tokyo, Japan. We about a seven-hour flight to Japan, and another long layover there – about nine hours. We then flew to Atlanta, Georgia where we cleared American customs and had about a four-hour layover before our last leg to San Antonio.
Our life in Indonesia is similar to our life in Texas. Whether I am here or there, I continue to teach my on-line classes in Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia. The main difference is: when we are in Texas, we are able to worship in person, whereas when we are in Indonesia, we worship with the Schertz congregation on-line.
We are currently in the process of getting settled in to our apartment for the next several weeks. Thanks for your prayers for all of these events in our lives.
*******************
We thank you in advance for all of your help in our efforts. We continue to put our trust in God in all things. Please continue to pray for our work for the Lord. We are so thankful for all of our supporters who continue to make it possible for us to work among Chinese and English-speaking people in Asia. We continue to thank the Schertz elders and the members of the church there for their continued support of this work.
Send all contributions, whether one-time or monthly, to: Grubb Mission Fund, 501 Schertz Parkway, Schertz, TX 78154.

January in Indonesia
During the month of January, I finished up teaching my Four Seas College Chinese class on Exodus and Leviticus. We had approximately fourteen students to take the test for this course. We had a few others to take the course as well.
I continued to meet with congregations in Taichung, Subang Jaya, and Section 17 in Malaysia participating and teaching in Chinese and English. While we are overseas, we continue to meet on-line with the Schertz congregation as well.
On the last day of the month, I spoke at the In-devo English Bible Class that is conducted on-line every Wednesday by the Subang Jaya congregation in Malaysia. My topic was: “Why the Rich Man was Foolish.” When living in Indonesia, this is an evening class, but when we are in the states, this class is conducted early in the morning. We are thankful we can continue to have a part in these services.
