An empty house!

We are almost done with the packing and preparing for the last weekend in St. Luke's. We are supposed to be jumping with joy, but for the first time, the reality of the move is sinking in. We are going to miss family, friends and all that is familiar to us. Its tough on the ladies at home, the small boy is unaware of what is happening. As for me, I am all mixed in my feelings but am completely confident of what God has in store for us. That has been the case always until today in my life.

In-laws and some family members have just left after helping us pack, its all suddenly looking empty and lonely here. The children look lost and they too feel something is up. Pray for us if you are reading this blog!

A new chapter is waiting the other side. Two congregations offer their warmth and love as they wait our arrival on wednesday. Some colleagues over there are helping us learn the new context and are waiting to help us settle in. There is much to cherish and rejoice as we look forward to new experiences in life and ministry!

A new chapter begins in Melbourne!


11 years have past since joining the Diocese of West Malaysia into the ordained ministry. Today, I am ready to start a new chapter, a chapter that I never thought would appear in my life. I am leaving the diocese of west malaysia. I am resigning! (with a heavy heart)

I am not leaving ministry! just the country and the diocese. I am looking forward to a new life and ministry over there.

Hopefully will finish some studies and gain some experience/exposure before coming back. Will I come back for sure? I am not certain, but there is a plan to come back, but what happens then depends on God and His leading.

My family and I will take our flight to Melbourne on the 24th Feb 2010. Our last Sunday in St. Luke's Church, Teluk Intan will be on the 21st Feb 2010.


Please pray for us as we continue to serve Him wherever we are.
