HOME!

Captain's Log - Stardate 1056.78. We arrived home yesterday after a 24 hour travel time + 7 hours time difference, so this is our last blog (for the time being at least).
Our last week in Malaysia was amazing - we have seen many friends that Stan made last year. We visited the theological college he taught at, and he was asked to preach at the service on Thursday morning - rather unexpectedly. Fortunately he had taken Jonathan's advise 'always have a sermon in your back pocket' so was able to talk on Romans 12:2 which was Alex's (in Cambodia) and our 'tag line' about asking God, listening to what God tells you,and acting on it even though it may be out of your comfort zone and being changed from the inside out.
We have also this week met some amazing Christians - an English lady working on Bible translations for the village dialects (been in Malaysia 10 years), a Chinese lady preaching the gospel in the villages who told us (and showed us video) of fantastic work and healing the Lord has done there, a man who had been a different faith who is now a Christian and sharing his faith with his friends and family despite his life being in danger, and this was just in a few days.
Memories we will take away - so many but the greatest will be the people of Indonesia and Malaysia who made us so welcome and shared what little they have, their amazing faith, the opportunity to talk and make friends of some who are of a different faith (we continue to correspond via Facebook and answer their questions) and a hope that we will return.
What next?
We ask for your prayers to continue (and thank you for those we have been having -we felt the support very strongly) - we wait to see what God will tell us do next.
Sue and Stan xxx
over and out.
