So
I’m into drinking “adult beverages”? It was a cheeky post on my FB wall, a
picture of a 3-inch souvenir bottle of whisky from my tour of a distillery in
Scotland two years ago. The responses told me who actually drink (hard liquor)
and how many actually “know me.” I have deleted that post. Apparently, it’s
“insensitive,” whatever that means.
April
saw several movements. It began with a roadshow in JB/Pasir Gudang for the BM
stream. Then there was a brief visit back Penang during the Good Friday weekend
for mommy related matters. Coming back was a 4-day intensive class for some
students requesting it n last Sunday was AGM in church.
I
m looking forward to May. It began with a simple PG outing of JJCM (Jalan-jalan
Cari Makan) then LPI certification training which will take 2 full-days in PJ.
Semester 1 will conclude by end of next week n my team will fly 3.5 hours to
Makassar for a mission trip. We will spend about a week there, ministering in
both urban n rural contexts. Do remember us in prayer. There will be 5 of us in
the team: myself n 4 students. Pray also for the local team that we will
mutually bless each other along the one week we are there. It will be a quiet
campus when we come back as it will be the first semester break till first week
of June. But I hv a ministry engagement in JB last weekend of May. The BM class
retreat is planned during the Raya holidays n we will be in PD for some “we
time.”
SAM
Penang in Prai is wrapping its first course n the next course will begin
sometime in July I think. We will hold one intensive 1-week course as a
trial-run. SAM Ipoh…I hv no idea what’s going on there with its participants a
bit on the “unmotivated” mode. A few are joining the Tapah center but even
that, not all of them are interested to submit the course requirements. Please
pray with me for them. In particular the leaders as motivation should come from
the top. The next class in Tapah is scheduled for mid May. It will take place
during the time I’ll be away in Makassar, thus, I hv to give this one a miss.
The local coordinator will attend to all its logistics. Pray that the 50 over
participants who attended the module in early March will come again n motivated
to complete the program.
Kindly
join me to pray for the BM theological education ministry. The prospects are
huge but few are capturing the passion n the vision. I invite you to be a part
of this exciting ministry. Get acquainted with us because “tak kenal, maka tak
cinta.”
Once
again, thank you for your partnership in ministry
