Yesterday, the 27th, was quite relaxing for me. There was just one lunch meeting on the cards, but a very important one. 5 men got together to discuss unity in the body of Christ . Who were these men? Bishop Hwa Yung, KJ John, KJ Abraham, Alex Matthews. KJ tells me two others, Wong Hon Meng and Kong Beng could not make it due to prior engagements. Lunch was at the Overseas Restaurant, Asia Jaya. So in the midst of food and heavy rain, the very spirited conversations on unity flowed.
Tuesday 23rd September began with some sombre news; Simon was not able to join us for the launching of the EFC Leadership Training in Sungei Petani. The morning proceeded with us picking PK Ang from the PJ Hilton at 12 noon. Who is PK Ang? He is the chairman of the pastor's fellowship Sungei Petani. 
He is the man we have been connecting with for the work in Sungei Petani. PK happened to be in KL on the 23rd, so we drove back together to Sungei Petani. By the way the journey to Sungei Petani takes about 4 hours. During the 4-hour drive, we got to hear PK's journey with Christ. We got to hear his vision and heartbeat regarding the community of Sungei Petani. (For full report of launch in Sungei Petani, please check out http://efccmalaysia.org/)A tip for food lovers: We stopped at Bidor for the very famous herbal soup duck mee. The very same restaurant also sells the chicken biscuit - the most famous in South East Asia, so they claim. I thought the chicken biscuit, fresh from the oven just a few shops away was much better.
I received very distressing news on the 15th September, Ps Sunther (42) the Chairman of the Pastor's Fellowship Kluang had passed away due to a severe asthma attack while in Malacca. We were told that he had gone to Malacca with some missionary friends from New Zealand. On the morning of the 16th Piek See, Simon and I took the drive down to Kluang for the wake service at 7.30pm and also for the funeral service the next day. I remembered Ps Sunther as a very caring pastor. He was always very concerned for the people. Just a couple days earlier at a meeting with the Eden Community he prayed for me. At the funeral service we heard many moving eulogies from friends and relatives. The tears came a rolling when his wife and his mother came up to give their farewell. Sitting through this very emotional scene it is just impossible without tears and recollections. So with tears I recollected the words of Jordan the Chairman of the Agape Presbyterian Church Kluang, "Kluang has lost 2 senior pastors in just a couple of months." "What is God saying?"
