Ministry Update June 2007

Dear partners in ministry,

Thanks for your partnership in serving God together. It’s been an extremely busy time here in campus. We have two modules of the School of Trans-Cultural Missions this short term. The first module has the English/Chinese stream plus the children studies (HCD). The second module has the English/Chinese stream plus the BM stream! We are planning field trips to the OA settlements end of each module and concluding the school are missions teams to various parts of South East Asia.

I’ve completed my first draft of thesis and it has been returned for revision. I’m glad that I only have to re-write one chapter (out of six). Next month I’m attending the final classroom course and I’m done with classroom courses (forever! Dissertation is 100% research). I hope to return to “normal church life” by October after disciplining myself to complete all requirements for graduation in early November. (Yea, I’m graduating again but no big deal this time, the sash color is still the same as the previous)

Please remember in prayer:
1. The STCM here in campus: overseas students/lecturers – travels, study, activities…
2. The missions teams: preparations, travel, logistics…
3. The exciting topic & writing of my thesis “Urban Youth in Cross-cultural Missions”
4. The youth work that is progressing slow & sturdy at GBC (S)
5. The ever growing Viet church
6. The fear of God upon the church & spiritual awakening of the church in Malaysia
7. Cousins/neighbors to embrace the Truth

Once again, Phil 1:3, Aku mengucap syukur kepada Allahku setiap kali aku mengingat kamu.

hi SB,

congratulations for finishing your thesis. I know how difficult it is to write while running a full time ministry. I am struggling with mine. I wish I have more time to devote to research and writing.

Definitely will like to read your completed thesis.
