This year have gone by so very quickly. Lots happened in the last 9 months. For those of you who read our news/prayerletter you would have discovered that already.
Our recent trip back to Singapore/Thailand and Hong Kong have also been pretty hectic. Bee Lee had a successful operation. We were all relief that is was nothing for us to worry about. However she also found out that she had other complications, which is also not serious but needs something done
I had the joy and the privilege of ministering to about 35-40 pastors and church leaders in the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand. It was a 3 day teaching seminar which the pastors appreciated. Most of all it was the strengthening of Christian Fellowship that meant the most. Though my Thai was very limited yet we were able to bond. I am grateful to my friend Jack Limbu (from Nepal) who make this happen with the help of the President of the Eastern Seaboard Pastors fellowship.
5 days in Hong Kong allows us to meet up with many friends, prayer partners and supporters. People matters, ministering to people matters more. We treasure the many great friendships that we have with many different ones from all over the world. We visited the Doulos very briefly and was able to touch base with lots of old friends and colleagues.
People are worth it. Spending time with people are never wasted time if they are encouraged and ministered to just by our friendship and presence. Praise the Lord.
Your friendship has meant a lot to us. Thank you for your prayers for our health and for our needs. Financial needs for our surgery have all been met. Thanks to our generous and praying friends .
At this point I would like to request your prayers for a new project that the Lord has laid upon my heart for many years now. I had tried to do whatever I can but felt that I should do it on a bigger scale now.
MINISTRY TO SAINTS AND SEEKERS - After many years of travel and ministering in so many countries I realised that the needs are great but the resources is insufficient. I wish I can go to more places and see more needs met. Though I may be able to make the extra time yet the lack of financial resources hinders that.
1. Ministry to the saints - to provide teaching and training materials to pastors, leaders and believers. To encourage them and to help strengthen the body of Christ with the word of God, both spoken and printed. Just to bring them together is already a challenge because many can't afford to travel or to provide for their own food for a 3 or 4 days training. Your prayers and support will help meet those needs.
2. Seekers - many in the developing countries have poor churches who may have the desire to reach out to their lost neighbours and communities but they don't have the resources to do much. The pastors are barely surviving. We would like to help provide resource for community projects and bible studies for those who are really opened and seeking.
Pray with me that Ministry to Saints and Seekers will become a reality. Thanks again for your partnership. Do write to me if you have any questions. To God be the Glory.
For Him
