Malaysia Trip – CABL – June Events

   As I ended the report last month, on June 2nd, I preached a bi-lingual sermon in Melaka and taught an English Bible class. June 3rd was Eta’s birthday, so we were able to celebrate her birthday in Melaka.

   One of the main reasons for the trip to Malaysia in June was to participate in the 16th Annual Chinese Asian Bible Lectureship (CABL). I have had the privilege to speak on almost every one of these lectureships during the past sixteen years. The theme for the lectureship this year was: “Lord, teach us to pray.” There were approximately 180 Chinese Christians to attend this lectureship from Malaysia, Singapore, China, Taiwan, and the United States. There were even a few who attended who were not Chinese, but could speak the Chinese. language

   This year, I was the second speaker instead of the usual first speaker. My topic was: “Does God Really Answer Prayer?” I always use bi-lingual PowerPoint for my lesson because there are some who attend who do not speak Chinese, so at least they can read the English on the screen, and there are some who speak Chinese, but were English educated, so they cannot read Chinese. They are able to read the English content on the screen.

   It was good to be with so many Chinese brethren at the lectureship. We are thankful for all those who came, participated, and had a part in this effort. We are glad to be able to attend to encourage and to be encouraged by the brethren. We are especially thankful for the efforts of Ong Eng Boon and Jedediah Yuan. They are the two main coordinators of the lectureship every year.

   The topic for next year has not yet been decided, but the location for the 17th annual lectureship will be conducted somewhere in the Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia area.

    At the conclusion of the lectureship, we went from Melaka to Kuala Lumpur for Sunday’s activities. On Sunday morning, we attended the Subang Jaya congregation and spoke in English to the morning worship and Bible class there. After a pleasant lunch with sister Amy and brother Yeow, I spoke in the afternoon Chinese Bible class and worship at Subang Jaya. On Sunday evening, I spoke at the Chinese worship service at the Section 17 congregation in the Kuala Lumpur area.

  The next day, we boarded our flight back to Jakarta and then on to Lampung. We continued our regular on-line classes and services in English and Chinese after returning to Indonesia from Malaysia.

  On July 2nd, we began our trip back to the states and arrived safely on July 3rd. We will stay busy while we are in the states.

May and Beginning of June Activities

  During the month of May, we finished up our gospel meeting in Groveport, Ohio and I also completed the Four Seas College – Chinese Dept. class on Church History. As usual, I spoke on the first Sunday of the month for the Chinese congregation in Taichung, Taiwan (on-line), and the Section 17 Chinese congregation on the second Sunday of May.

  On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I taught the Church History class at Four Seas – Chinese Dept. I also attended the Tuesday night Chinese class in Malaysia, speaking twice, and the Malaysia Wed. night class, speaking once. We also had weekly chapel at Four Seas – Chinese every Monday morning. We finished the Church History class on May 31st. I will teach the Epistles of Peter, John, and Jude on-line at Four Seas – Chinese from August 1st through September 20th.

  In the middle of all of this activity in May, we also made our trip back to Indonesia. We departed the USA on May 8th and arrived in Jakarta, Indonesia on May 10th. We stayed in Jakarta until the 14th, when we flew back to Lampung, Sumatra.

  After getting back to Indonesia, not only did we continue all of these activities but we also attended the Schertz Bible classes on Sunday and Wednesday through the internet.

  On May 30th, we traveled back to Jakarta to spend the night before traveling to Malaysia for an eleven-day trip. We arrived in Melaka on May 31st and I taught the Friday night Bible class that evening. It was good to be there with the brethren again.

  On June 2nd, I preached a bi-lingual sermon in Melaka and taught an English Bible class. June 3rd was Eta’s birthday, so we celebrated her birthday on the same day as the birthday of the King of Malaysia.

  In our next report, we will talk about the rest of our trip to Malaysia, the return to Indonesia, and our upcoming return to the USA on the 3rd of July.

In Memoriam

  We were shocked to learn that our long-time friend and supporter, Nancy Atchison, passed away, around mother’s day, after having suffered a stroke and a brain bleed. We had hoped to go buy and see Don and Nancy in late April on our way to Ohio, but we decided not to drive to Ohio, so we were not able to go.

  In addition to all of the other work she did in the church, probably the most important work she did in the Kingdom was her work with teaching through the mail to those in prisons. Our sympathies are with Don and her family in this great loss. She will be missed.

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

  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.
