Events in July

  We spent the month of July in Indonesia recovering from a variety of illnesses. There were visits to a variety of doctors, clinics, and labs. I am happy to report as we begin the month of August, we are doing much better with our health.

  One of the main changes for August will be starting to teach again at Four Seas College – Chinese Dept. through our online school.

  During the month of July, I continued my online teaching and preaching in both English and Chinese. I also had the opportunity and privilege to speak online to the Church St. church in Melbourne, Australia. Thanks to the church there for the invitation to speak. Charlie and Mary DiPalma have been working with this congregation for well over a decade, and continue that work. We are thankful for their efforts through the decades in proclaiming the gospel of Christ.

  On Sundays, I speak or participate in the Bible class and worship at the Taichung congregation in Taiwan. I speak the first Sunday of every month. In the evening, I participate in the worship services of the Section 17 Chinese congregation, and preach the second Sunday of every month. The last thing I do on Sunday is to tune in to the Schertz congregation Bible class.

  On Monday morning, I attend and sometimes take part in the weekly online chapel at Four Seas College – Chinese Dept. This month I will begin teaching MWF morning classes in Chinese. 

  On Tuesday night at 10:00 PM, I join the Schertz morning Bible class through a zoom hookup.

  On Wednesday night, I participate in the weekly English zoom class that began about five years ago through the efforts of the Subang Jaya congregation. I speak at least once a month in this class.

  On Thursday morning, I join the Schertz Wed. night Bible class their zoom hookup.

  During the week, I work on moving Word document lessons to PowerPoint. I use these materials for all of my lesson presentations.

  We are scheduled to return to the states on Sept. 5th. We will be in the states almost two months.

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

We continue to be thankful for all of your prayers and support as we strive to work among English and Chinese speaking people around the world. It is because of your support that we are able to continue our work among the Chinese people in Asia and other parts of the world. We could not do it without you.

Grubb Mission Report – July 2025

Malaysia Trip And A Month of Birthdays

  On May 30th, we began our journey to Malaysia for the Chinese Asian Bible Lectureship and other speaking appointments. We had to spend the night in Jakarta, but then arrived safely on the 31st of May.

  The first Sunday we were in the Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia area. We worshipped with the Section 17 English congregation. On Sunday evening, because Eta was tired, we worshipped with the Chinese congregation at Section 17 online.

  The first birthday in the month was Eta’s. Her birthday was on June 3rd. We went to dinner and an IMAX movie for the celebration.

  The next day, we traveled to Melaka to get ready for the 17th Annual Chinese Asian Bible Lectureship. We were able to enjoy a day in Melaka before the beginning of the lectures. I like to get to the lectureship location before the lectures begin because I want to have a room before the lectures begin. I have spent a few times getting changed in a hot bathroom before being the first speaker.

  There were close to 180 Chinese speaking people from Malaysia, Singapore, China, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, and the United States. The theme of this year’s lectures was: “Acknowledging God.”

  On the last day of the lectureship was Jojo’s birthday. Of course, she is currently living in Texas, so we were not able to celebrate it with her. We did get to talk to her on her day.

  After the lectureship, we went back to Kuala Lumpur. Sunday, June 8th was a busy day. On Sunday morning and afternoon, I spoke at the Subang Jaya congregation in both English and Chinese. I presented two English lessons in the morning and then two Chinese lessons in the afternoon. That evening, I preached in Chinese at Section 17. There was also a potluck after the service on Sunday night.

Last November, Eta had right knee replacement surgery. In June, we had a follow-up appointment to see how it was going. We also discussed with the doctor the possibility of doing the other knee next year.

  We returned to Indonesia on June 13th. Of course, my birthday was on the 14th, but one of the gifts we brought back from Malaysia was bronchitis. It has hung around all the way to the end of June. Eta was even hospitalized for two days to get her back on the road to recovery. We are doing much better now.

  I have continued to do all of my online classes and speaking assignments. I also start teaching again in August at Four Seas College – Chinese Dept.

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.
