Events in December
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. One of the differences is: we also worship with the Schertz congregation on-line. In this way, we are able to keep in better contact with our home congregation. We are thankful to be able to tune in to the Google Meet services on Sunday and the Zoom class on Wednesday. I also take advantage of other on-line services in Georgia and other locations. My wife is able to worship with the local brethren in the Indonesian language.
On November 18th, Eta and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary.
*******************
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.
Every year, during the last couple of months of the year, we remind brethren of our on-going need of additional support. Through the years, we have lost support for one reason or another. That is true this year as well. Therefore, we are always looking for other brethren to have a part in our efforts.
We also 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.

Taiwan Trip – Concluded (Nov. 29 – Dec. 19)
We are in Taiwan now to attend and participate in the lectureship in Taichung and to visit and teach for the congregations in Hualien and Taipei during the month of December.
We were thankful to be able to be in Taiwan for the lectureship in Taichung, as well as other activities while in the city, including private Bible studies and nursing home services.
We went to Hualien and was with the brethren there for nine days. During all of this time, I was also teaching at Four Seas College – Chinese Dept. Again, we were able to visit the nursing home on Sunday, and had a three-day gospel meeting at the church building. We left Hualien for Taipei and were able to be with the brethren there on Sunday. There were brethren there from the Philippines and Nigeria, as well as the local brethren. I spoke both of these lessons bi-lingual.
On the 19th, we were able to get back home to Sumatra on the same day. We are so thankful for all of the prayers offered on our behalf.
For pictures and more detailed descriptions of our trip to Taiwan, please go to my Facebook page. I kept a running diary there during the trip.
