NTM

The Lord is taking us places

Thank you to all for your prayers and for providing for us in our trip to New York City. Our official business with the Malaysian Consulate went smoothly. On the same day we were able to get our new travel documents with the machine readable features. We were required to be personally present to process these documents.

On the way to NYC, we were privileged to visit NTM’s Mobilization Center in Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania. We were blessed with a personal guided tour of the facilities. We learned much from the programs on tribal missionary works that is suited to different participating groups. This center which has specialized program for a weekend or for a week long is open to all including overseas participants.

We were also graciously hosted in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and in Virginia Beach, Virginia on this road trip of over 3000 miles from Southern Missouri. The Lord had led us and shown us His blessings.

The time is drawing near for our return to Malaysia. Our travel plans for our return is finalized with just over half the cost of a regular flight. We are flying Malaysia’s budget carrier Air Asia from London to Kuala Lumpur at promotional rates. Flying out from the U.S. at budget rates will take us to Germany and to the UK for the connecting flight. This means that we will have the opportunity to see for ourselves the facilities of NTM Germany and the training center at NTM United Kingdom. This is unexpected. What is the Lord showing  us?

We arrive into Kuala Lumpur on June 10 and plan to be in Penang by June 15. We look forward to reconnect with family, friends and churches. We would like to share our experience of NTM’s missionary training in small groups and with churches.

Our travel itinerary/schedule:

May 23 Leave Missouri for Michigan by road. To bid farewells to good friends we have made there and to our adopted mom.

May 29 Leave Chicago’s airport for Germany. We will be hosted by NTM Germany.

June 4 Leave Germany for UK. Visit NTM’s training facilities at Northcotes, UK.

June 9 Leave UK for Malaysia, arrived into Kuala Lumpur on June 10.

June 15 Arrive into our hometown Penang. Stay for a couple of weeks before we visit Ipoh and KL again.
