NEWSLETTER - MAY, 2018

THE YEAR SO FAR

A lot of our involvement has been with the Tung Ling Seminary/Bible School both in Malaysia and Singapore. In January Colin taught in the Pastoral Interns Programme in both Subang Jaya and Ipoh. One of the students in the Ipoh class (Raymond) was still a pupil in school when Colin came to Malaysia in 1975 on a missions trip with Bob Stevenson. Raymond remembered going on door-to-door evangelism by bicycle with Colin.

In February we were in Singapore for the Tung Ling School of Ministry then back in Malaysia for Tung Ling in March. This was combined with preaching in different churches every weekend.

In April Colin went to Nepal to teach for two weeks in the Eagles Bible School in Nepalgunj. It was a real privilege to be there when for the first time we had ladies in the class. After preaching at the graduation Colin went on the Pokhara to speak at the Full Gospel Tabernacle Pastors’ Conference. Getting out of Pokhara was exciting as it was raining and flights were being cancelled throughout the day. But we made it.

Whilst Colin was in Nepal Julia took the opportunity to fly home for a visit and was there for the birth of our second great grandson, Jaxson. It was two days before she got to see him as she was snowed in. 

JULY

July will be a very special month for us. On 4^th July it will be exactly 40 years since we arrived in Malaysia with our four children for our first term as missionaries. Two days before that, on 2^nd July, Julia will celebrate her 70^th birthday. We are both just amazed at the great things the Lord has done for us over these forty years. It has been a series of miracles upon miracles.
