With the arrival of October, we have entered into the last quarter of the year. It will not be long before we begin preparations for Christmas and new year to greet the approaching 2011. I have an exciting schedule for next year that takes me to the field all over the country, a task I eagerly look forward to.
This Friday is the SAM (Sekolah Alkitab Malaysia) Penang center’s first graduation service. I’m not familiar with the history of this school but was recently recruited to coordinate the Penang center and provide academic guidance for the whole school that has centers in Ipoh and Johor. Another center in Johor is in our plans. Besides that, we are exploring prospects in Sabah and in Sarawak. It is exciting to see how this ministry develops. More so, to see how God is moving in this land through the BM ministry.
Next week, I’m joining a team of BM pastors to Medan. I hope to be able to establish some form of network with a bible school there in the sharing of resources.
I’ve started the interviewing process with my respondents as part of my field research for my dissertation. It was an interesting affair and I look forward to meeting more respondents.
Kindly keep praying for us. Especially the BM school ministry. Right now, through ITC we can offer certificate and diploma programs but I’m waiting for endorsement from STM to allow us to offer BTh program. I take a step back and see how huge prospects are for this ministry. I often feel overwhelmed at the extent of what needs to be done and what can be done for the BM churches in this country. I’m just not sure how each piece fall into which place. I just know this is huge and I need heaps of prayer support to fulfill this calling. But I know I can keep dreaming big because I serve a big God.
