August in America

  Beginning on August 10th, I started teaching my new class at Four Seas College – Chinese Department that is located in Singapore, but is taught via Zoom by teachers from Singapore, Malaysia, China, and America. We have four full-time students actually located in Singapore, but we have a number of other students located primarily in China.

 We are thankful to be able to do what we can to help in the work at Schertz while we are stateside. We also try to participate in efforts that take place in the area.

  The course I am teaching this time is on “The Life of a Preacher – Christian Life.” These classes will conclude at the end of September.

  After that, I will be teaching the Chinese course on Exodus – Leviticus from Dec. 1 through Jan. 19, 2024.

  In addition to teaching in the school, I meet regularly on-line with churches in Taiwan and Malaysia. This is true for August and continues in September as well. This includes Chinese worship with the church in Taichung, Taiwan, and the Section 17 church in Malaysia. I take part in a Tuesday Chinese Bible class in Malaysia, and a Wednesday English Bible class in Malaysia. When there are special seminars or gospel meetings on-line overseas, I also try to be a part of those efforts.

  As members of the Schertz congregation, we attend all of the functions of the congregation – Bible classes and worship on Sunday and Wednesday. We also try to support efforts that take place in the area as well.

 *******************

  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.

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

Taiwan in December

  We are planning to visit Taiwan to attend and participate in the lectureship in Taichung and to visit and teach for the congregation in Hualien. Some of this trip will depend on Eta getting her visa for Taiwan. More about this trip in our next report.

 *******************

Eta and I will return to Indonesia on October 17th. We have already purchased these roundtrip tickets. We are scheduled to return to the United States on January 25th of next year. Sometime next month, we will go ahead and purchase the tickets from Indonesia to Taiwan.

 Please keep Jojo in your prayers after we go back to Asia as she continues her second year at Southwest School of Bible Studies. She still lacks about $200 in monthly support for her second year. She is scheduled to graduate in July of next year.

July – Back in America

  On July 4th, we began our trip back to the United States. It was a long forty-eight hour trip from Sumatra, through Jakarta, Qatar, and Dallas. We finally arrived safely in San Antonio on the 5th.

 For the next many days, we would work on getting settled in to our stateside apartment while continuing with our regular schedule as well as a trip to Florida and Georgia. Since Jojo was out of school for about five weeks, we decided to take her with us on our trip to Florida and Georgia.

  Before leaving on this trip, we had the opportunity to attend the banquet and the graduation of the Southwest School of Bible Studies. We also had our men’s breakfast at Schertz.

  While we were in Florida, we enjoyed the hospitality of Mike and Lydia Tubbs and had the opportunity to speak and report at College Road Church of Christ in Palatka, Florida. We were also able to take Jojo to see the Atlantic Ocean and also St. Augustine, Florida, as well as a boat ride on the St. John’s River.

  After leaving Florida, we headed to Richmond Hill, Georgia, where I would give a report to the congregation there of our work. While we were in the area, we were able to enjoy the city of Savannah.

We then headed back to Texas to continue our work in the Schertz area. We are thankful to be able to do what we can to help in the work at Schertz while we are stateside. We also try to participate in efforts that take place in the area.

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

FSC Chinese Class

  My next class will begin on August 10th on the subject of “The Life of a Preacher” in Four Seas College – Chinese Dept. ending late September. These classes are conducted on-line Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of every week. All of these classes will be conducted while I am in the states.

  Again, I am thankful for the opportunity to teach Chinese students from China, Singapore, and Malaysia in the Chinese Department of Four Seas College.

  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 supporters who continue to make it possible to work among Chinese speaking and English speaking people in Asia.
