Friday Night Community Group
After a grueling week of work and late night calls with colleagues around the world, the last thing we often want to do on a Friday is have more people to care for and interact with in our home. However, by faith, we have stepped into leading a community group through the church plant we are involved in.
Each Friday 15+ adults squeeze into our tiny flat to enjoy a meal together and interact on God’s Word. We have recently been doing a series on gospel emphasis exploring how the gospel isn’t a philosophy, but a person.
It has been rewarding to watch our friends internalize that Jesus (through God’s Spirit) is with us in all moments and aspects of our life. This changes everything and makes his resurrection power available to us. We have seen the group really bond well together in gospel friendships.
Women's’ Discipleship Group
Piano notes and 12 ladies' voices filled our neighbour's homes every Tuesday at 9am as our women's' Bible study of Ephesians started with a song of worship. Meredith has been helping to champion the development of women's’ discipleship at church.
This past year God gave us a wonderful flat, centrally located, with a wide living room and just the right furniture (2 couches, large table) to become a key hosting location for the new community. Beyond coffee and croissants we feasted on truths that Christ is the cornerstone, our identity is in him and of the Holy Spirit's available power to life in unity with others in God's Kingdom.
Heath’s Medical Emergency on a Ferry
Recently Heath has had some sudden and significant challenges breathing while we were out-of-country on a church retreat. (Since Singapore is an island, people often leave the country to go to a neighboring country for respite).
While we carry a variety of medical supplies for emergencies (Epipen, puffers, etc…), it was a tense situation. On the ferry return to Singapore, we were thankful to have two doctors (pictured above) from our congregation (one works in the emergency room) with us to monitor and advise. Upon arrival into Singapore Heath went to the children’s hospital and stabilized in about 4 hours.
We are thankful for the proximity to good medical care in Singapore and God’s protection of Heath.
WBC Friends, we are thankful for your prayer and financial support that enables us to use our home to be a blessing to others as we lead the next generation of missions in Asia.
