God continues to bless and open great doors of opportunity for our family to minister here in Singapore. What a privilege to serve and represent the King of kings. We certainly appreciate your continued prayers for us and our ministry. It is because of the goodness of God and prayers that we are sustained. Thank you for your feedback and encouragement.
Since our last update, God has done some amazing things. We preached and ministered to the Open Bible Baptist Church. I am saddened to inform you that after much prayer and pastoral search, this small congregation will be meeting for the last time next week to officially close the doors. Though I am saddened, I am also encouraged. I am encouraged because many of the remaining members will be attending a great church, Ambassador Baptist Church, led by Pastor Johnny Tan.

Psalm 141:5a “Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be excellent oil…” The Psalmist David probably said it best on my behalf today. I am humbled by the commitment of those that serve in a foreign country. To see the people of God serve and leave the comforts of home is always a humbling and convicting thought.
My tiny globe trek has brought me now to the country of Costa Rica. Dale Briley and Ed Bordell are two of many Baptist missionaries who serve in this beautiful country. Dale Briley and his son, John met me at the airport and brought me to the residence where the group is staying for three nights. The group is staying on the premises owned and operated by the organization YWAM, Youth With A Mission. This is an international group with many locations that hosts young people from all over the world. The short term stay with this organization is generally comprised of teaching, discipleship, humanitarian work, and a desire to immerse young people in the work of missions abroad.
