February Stateside

  The month of February was spent in the United States. We arrived in Texas at the end of the month of January. We were happy to be back with the brethren at Schertz to worship with them and have a part in the local work there.

I had the opportunity to make a presentation of our latest trip to Taiwan, where we attended and spoke on the Taichung lectureship, as well as speaking for the church in Hualien and Taipei. It was good to be with the brethren there for the first time since covid. We are looking forward to our trip there again in December 2024.

Whether in Asia or America, I continue to participate in English and Chinese services in Taiwan and Malaysia every week. I speak every month in these countries, both in English and Chinese. Normally, the first Sunday in the month, I speak at the Taichung congregation in Chinese. I also speak in Malaysia in Chinese on the second Sunday of every month. I speak monthly in the English Bible study with the Subang Jaya congregation in Malaysia. I attend the weekly Chinese Bible class in Malaysia as well.

  Beginning on April 11th, I will begin teaching again at the Four Seas College – Chinese Department. I will be teaching a course on “Church History.” This course covers from the beginning of the church to the restoration movement.

  We now have eight full-time Chinese students from China that are all located in Singapore, the site of the school. We also have a number of part-time students who attend the classes on-line.

We Are Back in the United States

  On January 25th, we headed back to the United States, to be here until the first part of May.

  After a fifty-hour trip, we made it safely to Texas. We first traveled from Lampung, Sumatra to Jakarta. We had a ten-hour layover there waiting on our next flight to Tokyo, Japan. We about a seven-hour flight to Japan, and another long layover there – about nine hours. We then flew to Atlanta, Georgia where we cleared American customs and had about a four-hour layover before our last leg to San Antonio.

  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. The main difference is: when we are in Texas, we are able to worship in person, whereas when we are in Indonesia, we worship with the Schertz congregation on-line.

  We are currently in the process of getting settled in to our apartment for the next several weeks. Thanks for your prayers for all of these events in our lives.

January in Indonesia

  During the month of January, I finished up teaching my Four Seas College Chinese class on Exodus and Leviticus. We had approximately fourteen students to take the test for this course. We had a few others to take the course as well.

  I continued to meet with congregations in Taichung, Subang Jaya, and Section 17 in Malaysia participating and teaching in Chinese and English. While we are overseas, we continue to meet on-line with the Schertz congregation as well.

  On the last day of the month, I spoke at the In-devo English Bible Class that is conducted on-line every Wednesday by the Subang Jaya congregation in Malaysia. My topic was: “Why the Rich Man was Foolish.” When living in Indonesia, this is an evening class, but when we are in the states, this class is conducted early in the morning. We are thankful we can continue to have a part in these services.
