Another Kind of Ministry Week


While James and all the other professors go off to ministry week, the student wives are left behind on campus with the kids. I usually take the opportunity to spend a few days in the dormitory, staying with a different family each night. These are a few of the moms and kids I spent time with. The first photo shows Kuenrab and his mom Nengboi from Bhutan. Next is Suryoda from Nepal (during our outing to McDonald's). His mom Rita and sister Sukirti are in the third photo. The last photo shows me with Kuenrab. If you know me, you would know that I valued this opportunity to play with babies all day long for several days! (And then to give them back to their moms when I got tired!) It was also a great chance to have long sharing times with the moms after the kids were asleep. All of the ladies I stayed with are in my discipleshp group. I thank God for giving some rich times for mentoring.

Malaysia



I got back yesterday afternoon from my trip to Malaysia. I spent three days with our friends there. We talked and talked, did sightseeing and shopping, and generally just enjoyed being together. I asked you to pray that we would be a blessing to each other, and I believe that prayer was wonderfully answered. Thank you for praying for our time together! The photos are of me -- or general scenery -- to protect the family's identity, and to avoid creating unnecessary risks for their ministry.

More Malaysia
