This morning I submitted my resignation. Never expected it to be so difficult. After all, I’ve cried myself buckets of tears through the months. I suppose it’s because I’ve grown too attached to the work, the people, and a bit too comfortable with the familiar. But it’s time to move on. And I must admit that I’m a bit fearful taking that delicate step onto the uncharted waters. However, the scope, prospects, potentials are way too enormous and exciting. Maybe it’s because I’ve not seen a solid team yet and that’s why I’m fearful. But I have a God who is faithful and that is enough. More than that is knowing that God had brought several brothers and sisters to come alongside me along the long months of waiting and discerning.
I’m leaving MBTS in early December. Although initially planned to start with the new ministry on 1st January, there are apparently some administrative procedures that requires some preparations and I can only officially be admitted 1st March. So I have a longer time to myself, to visit my students’ ministry and attend to some personal matters. However, January I have 2 one-week class in Kuching and in Penang to occupy me and February is CNY month. Not much break actually, come to think of it!
Please join me to pray for this transition period. November is pretty filled with preaching/teaching engagements. Just preached at AIMC last Sunday, my first experience preaching at 2 services and being interpreted into mandarin and hokkien! This week is filled with activities in campus, culminating with the graduation service this Friday. Then next Thursday, a team of us will travel to Gopeng for a 2-day trip to conduct the second module of PLK training. We return on Saturday afternoon and I have a preaching engagement the next day, Sunday. December, the holiday month but I have a preaching engagement plus a speaking engagement at a youth camp.
Once again, friends…I thank you for your partnership in ministry.
PS: anyone familiar with GPS unit/know someone who does? Can advice me on this? M planning to get a unit to help me familiarize with Ipoh as I’ll be travelling frequently there. Perhaps someone wants to upgrade to a better unit, you can pass me your old unit ;)
