Ministry Update Nov/Dec 2015

In two weeks, I was “granted” two “titles” I don’t want to use. It amused me why some people take much delight in “exhibiting” fanciful titles before n (abbreviations) after their names. But that is the way of the world; that is the way people are. So, I amused myself with the “white robe” n the “black robe” dilemma.

End of Oct I was commissioned as a deaconess in the Anglican DWM and mid of Nov I “graduated” with the Doctor of Missiology degree. At least, one testimony I can claim is that this “stupid kid” hv got her doctorate! Ok, ok, I may exaggerate a little bit but I still keep my secondary school report book as proof that I was never a straight A’s student n was a bit below average as how teachers would “classify” someone like me.

Nov closed excitingly with a day trip to the OA village with a CG group from GBC. It was fun, as how all visits to the OA villages are.

Dec will open soon n I m getting anxious to prepare all the needed annual/year end reports. I need to wait for data from my colleagues n they need some (much) “pushing” before I can acquire the needed details which is pretty frustrating, actually. But Dec is also a month to sort-of “relax” a bit with the festivities. BJAC will again go out for their Christmas outreach. This year to another Old Folks Home. Do pray for us.

SAM 2016 schedule is almost complete; just missing the certificate part. Plz pray for us as we embark on another year to equip our OA friends towards acquiring their formal theological training at certificate, diploma, n master levels. Students upgrading n new students recruited will mean additional funds needed. But I am confident that God will provide sufficiently n adequately. Another aspect that needs funding is the publication of Bible-school-worthy type of BM books. I am partnering with Wawasan Penabur to publish a BM book on biblical interpretation. RM4000 is required n thus far I hv raised RM1000 with another RM3000 to go. If any of you would like to help towards this effort, kindly contact me. BM books/material are extremely, extremely limited. Please help us to produce more of them. People like me, teaching in the BM Bible School hv to be fluent in both English n BM bcoz we prepare our materials from English material n then translate them into BM. Reference books are very, very limited. Most reading references hv to be translated too before being made available to the students. Or, we use books from Indonesia. But this is one option we would like NOT to resort to as much as possible. I look forward to your further partnership.

THANK YOU
