A few days in Singapore

I'm currently in Singapore soaking in the incredible beauty and efficiency of this 1st world country. Lord willing, I'll be continuing on to Indonesia soon. Following are a few photos of my stay here so far:

This one isn't a photo of Singapore but I'm posting it here anyway. It's a photo of part of the beautiful airport in Hong Kong

This is Bailey and her fellow interns being interviewed and introduced to the congregation Sunday morning in Singapore.

Since I happened to be in the audience, I was also interviewed by my long term friend, Dave Hogan - missionary to Singapore and whose father and mother also served as missionaries in Pakistan and Singapore before him. I have worked with the Hogan family in one way or another since 1968. They are great people.

Lunch at the American Club after worship and other meetings.

Dinner and very pleasant conversation Monday evening with Beng Chuan Tan, Administrator and one of the Elders of the Pasir Pangang congregation in Singapore. Henry Kong started this congregation in 1968 or maybe 1967 and it has grown through the years to be one of the largest, if not the largest, congregation in the city. I remember when they met in a store front building with an open front. My wife and I stood outside on the sidewalk and participated in the worship because there was no more room inside. We were not alone outside either. There was a crowd of people there participating along with us. No one can replace Henry, so until April 2017 he will continue to be part of a team ministry while Beng has been chosen to administer the day to day affairs of the congregation and the Elders provide leadership and many of the members take active parts serving the Lord both publicly and privately. They are now in the middle of their 50th year celebration or Jubilee - looking both backward and forward. The congregations in Singapore have great days ahead of them.
