Ministry Update: June 2009

Ah, the month of June. This marks the entry to the first half of the year. How quick time flies. The seconds and minutes, then, the hours and the days. Needless to repeat that I was so blessed by the month long trip in the interior. It was a reverse culture shock for me to adapt back to city life…no it was nothing drastic, just my play of words to exaggerate. But I returned with a stronger passion for the ministry and I suddenly realized that as long as I am in my present capacity, there is just so much I can do. However, the work has so much more potential. It is frustrating for an eagle to be given the wings of a house fly. Please pray for me, the ministry, and mostly the ability to discern God in His marvelous work around us here in Malaysia.

Middle of the month, I have a class in Ipoh. This may be an extension point where the students may not need to come all the way up north to the main campus. Then early July is the mission trip to Johore and Malacca. I will briefly drop by Singapore to meet my thesis supervisor and hope to kick start my research proper. I received an invitation to initiate BM classes for master level students in Malacca. Yes, on one hand I am excited at the prospect. On the other hand…well, I am still asking myself whether it will be worth it to continue on in my present capacity that limits a ministry of vast potential because the leaders subscribe to its conservative policies.
