Yes, I realized I am not sending out my updates every month. Will continue with once every two months. Work load is piling and studies getting more demanding. Will appreciate your prayers
SAM Northern Centres matter: Penang centre has 2 students graduating later this month in Seremban campus. The number of students is dwindling in this centre. In the meantime, the final course planned for this academic year was unfortunately cancelled due to the assigned teacher who pulled out at the last minute. Ipoh centre is progressing well. They will continue till end of this month.
SAM Council will meet for a retreat in early November. We have been working independently for so long that we assume the other centres function like each of us. So, coordinators of Northern Centres, KL, n JB centres will meet to streamline SAM direction, now that we have merged into a single entity.
STM Graduation events will begin next week on Friday but preparations are picking up. Assignments deadline are also drawing near. It is going to be busy. Do pray for us as this will be the first physical graduation events after a two-year lock-down. Commissioning Service is on Friday morning followed by Graduation Dinner in the evening and the Graduation Service itself on Saturday afternoon. This will be followed by Faculty Consultation on 17-18 Oct n faculty/staff field trip to Ipoh 19-20 Oct.
Yes, I do plan to “balik kampong” to Penang. Likely end Nov till Dec. Can’t wait to savour Penang food again.
Once again, thank you for your partnership in ministry
