| | | | | | Dearest Friends,
Many people have been wondering what I've actually been doing since Kenny's passing. I'm afraid that it's sometimes hard for me to put words to a page especially since I do not have a title or job description within OM though I am still serving here in London under the leadership of George Verwer. For the most part, my passion is and always has been evangelism and discipleship. This was Kenny's heart as well but with our different personalities, this often plays out in different ways. Kenny was more on the pulpit but both of us often spent even more time with people one-on-one and this is exactly the ministry and I continue to be a part of.
What does this look like in my reality? I have been hugely involved in various groups from churc, BSF (Bible Stufy Fellowship) and various secular clubs such as the Singapore Club here in London. This gives me access to a myriad of people and on occasion, they even come to me in the office for counselling. God has blessed me with experience and this is what I use to counsel struggling couples, Christians who are interested in missions, single mothers (and sometimes I do babysitting as wel) and general people I meet along the way who seem comfortable with asking me for advice. It is only the Lord's wisdom that has enabled me to continue in this ministry. Other than this, I often have people come along with me to visit hospitals, old folks home and other people who are less mobile but still need to hear and see the Gospel. I hope that gives you a better understanding of the ministry that God has called me to and that it will also help you better pray for me.
Another area in which I have been involved and which I would particularly like to share with you in this newsletter, is that of the Doulos Phos. Some of you will remember that OM sold the Doulos back in March 2010 to a Christian Singaporean business man named Eric Saw who renamed the ship Doulos Phos. Kenny and I both had the privilege of meeting him and was asked to journey alongside him in prayer and advice where we were able to. I have continued to be a part of a core group that meets weekly to pray and offer advice. He had big plans for the ship to retain it's history and continue in ministry as a stationary structure. Since then, however, there have been countless disappointments, trials, hardships and invoices in regards to getting the Doulos Phos ready for such a future. There was an article that was distributed not too long ago that suggested that the ship was nearly ready to receive the public after it was finally moved to Batam, Indonesia in 2013 but this article was very misleading as there is still much refurbishment and renovation to still be started yet alone completed. This June, he will need to a find a new contractor that can hopefully complete the project by mid-2017 but with many previous contractors not delivering and costing Eric enormously financially, there is much uncertainty and lack of confidence. Please do pray for Eric Saw and for the completion of the Doulos Phos in Bintan so that it's ministry can continue.
Thank you again for standing together with me in prayer and support over the years,
Bee Lee | | | | | | | |
