Back in Asia

  As you read in the September report, we have returned to Asia until the end of January next year. We left America on Aug. 29th and upon arrival, I came down with pneumonia. During this time, I was still teaching my Four Seas College – Chinese Dept. class on the Epistles of Peter, John, and Jude and attending most of the other zoom services that are part of my schedule.

  On September 21st, I spoke (via zoom) for the church in Cumming, GA. I had the privilege to do a report of our work and preach two sermons to encourage the church there. This is the second time I have had the privilege to do this. At the end of July, I also had the privilege to speak to the Church St. church in Melbourne via Google Meet.

  One change we are going to make when we return to the states next year is: we are going to rent a permanent place to live in Texas so that we will have a place to go back to when we are stateside. We are praying that God, through His Providence, we help us to find a suitable, affordable place in the Schertz area. We solicit your help and your prayers.

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

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.

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

  This is the time of year when we encourage brethren to consider continuing our support, increasing it, or beginning to be a part of our work. Please continue to send all contributions, whether one-time or monthly, to: Grubb Mission Fund, 501 Schertz Parkway, Schertz, TX 78154. Thanks to all of our supporters for your continued support.

August Activities in America

  On August 1st. I began teaching the Epistles of Peter, John, and Jude at Four Seas College – Chinese Dept. This class will continue until Sept. 20th. As of this writing, I have just given the mid-term test and are now in the last three weeks of the course.

  On August 2nd, we helped Jojo to move out of her apartment in Austin, TX. After her graduation, she is doing a one-year internship at World Video Bible School in Maxwell, TX. Sister Kathy Scott graciously offered Jojo a place to stay until she can afford an apartment or she sees what is in her future. She was able to obtain her Texas driver’s license and so we left our car with her while we are back in Indonesia. She is depending on brethren to support her while she is doing the internship. If you are interested in helping her, you can send contributions to World Video Bible School, 25 Lantana Lane, Maxwell, TX 78656. Please mark your contribution for: Jojo.

 

  While in the states, my regular teaching and Bible study continued. Sunday morning began with attending the Section 17 Chinese worship service in Malaysia. That is 5:00 AM CDT. I speak at this service the second Sunday of every month. It continued with morning Bible study and worship at Schertz. At 5:00 PM, we had the evening service at Schertz. Then, at 7:25 PM, I attended the Four Seas College – Chinese Dept. weekly chapel.

  On Tuesday morning at 7:00 AM, I participate in the Subang Jaya, Malaysia Chinese Bible Class. At 10:00 AM, I attended the Men’s Bible class at Schertz. On Wednesday morning at 7:00 AM, I participate in the Subang Jaya “In-devo” Bible class. I speak at this class once a month, and also often serve as MC for the Q&A sessions.

   We plan to spend the month of October in Malaysia working with some of the congregations there. The first two weeks of December, we will be in Taiwan to speak on the Taichung Annual Lectureship and preach at some of the congregations there. We are currently scheduled to return to the United States on January 31, 2025.

   On August 29th, we began our journey back to Asia. We traveled from San Antonio to Atlanta in the evening, then right after midnight on the 30th, we headed for Seoul, Korea. We had a twelve-hour layover there before heading to Jakarta. We arrived there at 8:30 PM on August 31st.

  On Sunday morning, September 1st, I preached on-line to the church in Taichung, Taiwan. We are thankful for all the prayers on our behalf and all the help we have received from our brethren.

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

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.

  Please continue to send all contributions, whether one-time or monthly, to: Grubb Mission Fund, 501 Schertz Parkway, Schertz, TX 78154. Thanks to all of our supporters for your continued support.

Postscript: In the next report, we will let you know of our plans to try to find a regular house or apartment to rent during the times we are in Texas. We are hoping to pick up some additional monthly support to help meet this new expense.
