It's Thursday afternoon here in Singapore and I have already had a great day! Last night I slept about six hours and am barely feeling any effects of the jet lag. We wound up staying home last night so we will be doing a little sightseeing tonight and tomorrow.
I uploaded some pics. Click here to see them. (or, click on the pic above)
I attended two of Rick's classes today and had opportunities to interact with students/pastors/leaders from at least ten countries. The student's last chapel was today and it was a joy to listen to Dr. Siang Fiang Koh give the talk. She is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary.
The students are very engaging and quite interesting to talk to. We have had many conversations about church ministry and they have been intrigued by our "flock structure" that we have at New Covenant Bible Church in Cedar Rapids. One student comes from a church that is set up very similar to ours.
After chapel several of us went across the street to enjoy some Singaporean cuisine. Once again the conversation moved to politics because they are very interested in what is happening in America.
Tonight we are heading out for supper and will probably do some shopping as well. Tye out.
