After a flight of almost 12 hours from Chicago to Tokyo, and then another 6 and a half from Tokyo to a highly developed tiny, island city nation off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula– and 85 north of the equator–woke up this morning in Singapore.
Am here to meet with international co-workers who share the mission of making the life-changing wisdom of the Bible understandable and accessible to all.
The picture on the right was taken by our Singapore-based RBC photographer Alex Soh. Will try over the next couple of weeks to pass along some pictures of the people and sights that I’m seeing here. One problem (actually a good thing :-) is that I saw our schedule, and it looks like we’ll be spending most of our time in workshops and meetings so might not have much time to be on the hunt for pics, but maybe I’ll be surprised.
The most important thing is that we are here together because, as co-workers, we share a vision for the difference that Christ can make through those who let Him live His life through them. We believe that men and women who find their life in him can grow in hope rather than losing heart. Young people can find purpose. Husbands can find strength in praying for and loving their wives rather than controlling and dominating them. Mothers can discover that God loves their children even more than they do. Singles can discover they are not alone. And employers and employees can learn to treat one another the way they, themselves, want to be treated.
Anyway that’s where I am– and why. Since I have a wireless connection– I’ll try to give you some updates as we move along.
