Keeping Busy While Waiting for Borders to Open

  Every Sunday morning, I meet with Eta, Jessica, and Jovita for our weekly Bible study. We are currently studying the book of Judges. Sunday AM. Bible study and worship, Sunday evening worship, and Wed. evening Bible study every week at Chestnut Mountain. Services are still available via zoom and Facebook live. Also, I currently have a Monday night private Bible study on zoom as well. On October 7th, I spoke via zoom at Subang Jaya in Malaysia. I also taught a Bible class at Chestnut Mountain that evening. I also taught the Bible class, preached in the morning worship, and did a mission presentation on Sunday evening.

   Every week, I join the Friday night Bible study at Subang Jaya, Malaysia; Saturday night worship in New Zealand (it is their Sunday), and worship at the Chinese congregation – Boonlay, Singapore. I also spoke to the Section 17 Chinese congregation in October.

  While waiting for open borders to Indonesia and other Asian nations, I am working on putting as many of my lessons into PowerPoint to have available for future trips.  

   We wait on Asian governments to open their borders to plan any mission trips for 2021. It is our plan to go just as soon as possible.

Looking Forward to 2021

   We were hanging on to the hope that either Indonesia or Malaysia would open their borders to foreign tourists during the month of September. However, in a recent report from the Indonesian government, they do not plan to allow foreign tourists back into the country until next year. That is also true for Malaysia. That means, we will have to hope for the opening of another country, or just continue to wait and hope for any possibility. There is still the possibility that Thailand or Vietnam will open before the end of the year.

   Every Sunday morning, I meet with Eta, Jessica, and Jovita for our weekly Bible study. We have just finished studying the book of Joshua and will start Judges this week. Beginning on the second Sunday of September, the Chestnut Mountain congregation started back to the pre-covid-19 services. Sunday AM. Bible study and worship, Sunday evening worship, and Wed. evening Bible study. Services are still available via zoom and Facebook live. Also, I have a Monday night private Bible study on zoom as well. I am still meeting three times a week with the Subang Jaya congregation in Malaysia. I also try to worship with the Chinese congregation in Singapore as well. When I can, I tune in to one of the three worship services in New Zealand.

   As far as I know, plans are still being made to begin a Chinese department at Four Seas College in Singapore sometime next year. I have indicated an interest in helping in this project. I hope that I will be able to help in this new work.

   Please continue to pray for Eta and me as we remain separated by covid-19. We are looking forward to our reunion as soon as possible. We will also be working on spouse visas – Indonesian visa for me; USA visa for Eta.

We Were Hoping for Open Borders in September

  We were hanging on to the hope that either Indonesia or Malaysia would open their borders to foreign tourists during the month of September. However, in a recent report from the Indonesian government, they do not plan to allow foreign tourists back into the country until next year. That is also true for Malaysia. That means, we will have to hope for the opening of another country, or just continue to wait and hope for any possibility. There is still the possibility that Thailand or Vietnam will open before the end of the year.

   During the month of August, I taught three lessons for the Subang Jaya congregation in Kuala Lumpur and preached a Chinese sermon at the Boon Lay church in Singapore. The churches in Singapore are still unable to meet in their church buildings. The churches in Malaysia are able to meet in their buildings once a week, but the rest of the week they depend on the internet.

   During the last week of August, my son, Samuel, and I, made a trip to Indiana to visit with my mother in her nursing home. Originally, we were to be able to visit with mom for thirty minutes, but because they were having an old car parade later in the day, we were able to go back and see mom again during the parade.

   Sam and I were also able to visit with my brother, Ken, his wife, Betsy, and Beverly, my oldest brother, David’s wife. It was a quick trip to Indiana, but it was good to be able to be with my mother again.

   After returning home on Saturday afternoon, I was able to meet (on-line) for worship with the Chinese congregation in Singapore and the Subang Jaya congregation in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

   Every Sunday morning, I meet with Eta, Jessica, and Jovita for our weekly Bible study. We are currently studying the book of Joshua. Beginning on the first Sunday of September, the Chestnut Mountain congregation are going back to the pre-covid-19 services. Sunday AM. Bible study and worship, Sunday evening worship, and Wed. evening Bible study. Services are still available via zoom and Facebook live.

   On Monday, August 31st, Eta and I were able to attend the Restoration Seminar at the Subang Jaya congregation. The entire seminar was conducted on zoom and YouTube live. There were brethren who participated from Malaysia, Singapore, China, Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, and the United States.

   On September 2nd, I will speak to the Wednesday night Subang Jaya Bible study also conducted on-line. I am thankful I am able to contribute to classes and worship services overseas.

   As far as I know, plans are still being made to begin a Chinese department at Four Seas College in Singapore sometime next year. I have indicated an interest in helping in this project. I hope that I will be able to help in this new work.

   Prayers solicited and appreciated.

The Month of July

  There was still no overseas travel to be done during the month of July as a result of the covid-19 virus. Because of that, I have been on the same basic kind of internet schedule meeting, primarily, with the Subang Jaya congregation in Kuala Lumpur. Everything is still “up in the air” for the rest of this year, but I will continue to do whatever I can through electronic means to help and encourage works in Asia.

  During the month of August, I already have two lessons scheduled – one at Subang Jaya in Kuala Lumpur and the other at the Boonlay congregation (Chinese) in Singapore.

  Because the situation is so uncertain in the world, we do not yet know for sure when I will be able to go back overseas. It is hoped that Indonesia or one of the Asian countries where we work will open up sometime during the month of September. We are currently waiting on any news from government officials.

  Please continue to keep Eta and me in your prayers as we wait for the time when we can be reunited and can also be a help to the church in Indonesia for some other Asian country.
