Malaysia Trip During the Month of October

  We arrived in Malaysia on October 3rd. During the first eleven days of this trip, we made trips to Ipoh and Skudai to preach to the congregations there.

  On Sunday, October 6th, I preached in English for worship and Chinese for the Bible study. They have both an English and Chinese congregation there. It was good to see many of our brethren who live in that city.

  In between the first and second Sundays in October, we made a short trip to Port Dickson with Kam Wah and Janet Leong. We went to a resort by the Melaka Strait.

  After coming back from Port Dickson, we traveled to Skudai, which is not too far from Singapore. I conducted a bi-lingual gospel meeting there on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night.

  After teaching my class on Monday morning, we headed back to Kuala Lumpur. We moved into an apartment for the remainder of our trip.

  On Wednesday night, I spoke at the Kota Kemuning congregation in their English Bible study. Then, on Sunday morning, I spoke there again for their Bible study and worship services. On the Friday in between, I spoke at the English Bible study at the Klang congregation. On that Sunday night, I spoke at the Chinese worship service for the Section 17 congregation.

  On October 23rd, Eta had an appointment with an orthopedic doctor at the Sunway Medical Center in Kuala Lumpur. It has been decided that she will have a complete knee replacement on her right knee. The tentative date for her surgery will be November 20th. We will be in Malaysia for two or three weeks for her recovery and rehab. There will not be any insurance coverage for this surgery. Including the surgery and hospital stay, the cost, including airfare and housing, will be approximately USD$13,000. If you would like to help defray any of this cost, you can send your contribution to Grubb Mission Fund, 501 Schertz Parkway, Schertz, TX 78154.

  Our last Sunday morning was speaking in a bilingual service for worship and Bible study at the Subang Jaya church.

  In addition to all of these activities, Eta was able to participate in a number of ladies activities in Malaysia and was a great encouragement to them. We also had some opportunities to enjoy meals with various brethren from congregations in the area. We are thankful for all of the prayers offered on our behalf.

****************

We are thankful for all of your prayers and continued support as we strive to work among English and Chinese speaking people around the world.

****************

  This is the time of year when we encourage brethren to consider continuing our support, increasing it, or beginning to be a part of our work. Please continue to send all contributions, whether one-time or monthly, to: Grubb Mission Fund, 501 Schertz Parkway, Schertz, TX 78154. Thanks to all of our supporters for your continued support.

One change we are going to make when we return to the states next year is: we are going to rent a permanent place to live in Texas so that we will have a place to go back to when we are stateside. We are praying that God, through His Providence, will help us to find a suitable, affordable place in the Schertz area. We solicit your help and your prayers.

Back in Asia

  As you read in the September report, we have returned to Asia until the end of January next year. We left America on Aug. 29th and upon arrival, I came down with pneumonia. During this time, I was still teaching my Four Seas College – Chinese Dept. class on the Epistles of Peter, John, and Jude and attending most of the other zoom services that are part of my schedule.

  On September 21st, I spoke (via zoom) for the church in Cumming, GA. I had the privilege to do a report of our work and preach two sermons to encourage the church there. This is the second time I have had the privilege to do this. At the end of July, I also had the privilege to speak to the Church St. church in Melbourne via Google Meet.

  One change we are going to make when we return to the states next year is: we are going to rent a permanent place to live in Texas so that we will have a place to go back to when we are stateside. We are praying that God, through His Providence, we help us to find a suitable, affordable place in the Schertz area. We solicit your help and your prayers.
