Hi Church,

Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!

How are you doing? I pray that this mail finds you blessed and well.

I have been away for about 6 weeks now and I miss you all heaps! New York is an amazing city with lots to learn and see but Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is still the best. Very often we hear people complain about the traffic, the weather, the mess and etc... but you know what, yes, it is true that KL is not perfect but it is still our HOME! Amen! It is the place where we are called to serve as a family, a place where we are commissioned to make a difference.

After travelling to so many places in the world, I believe it is the call of God that distinguishes one place from another. A lot of people migrate from one city to another or from one country to another, to look for greener pastures. Some cite better job opportunities and some better education for their children. All the reasons are seemingly valid. But if you ask any taxi driver, they will tell you all the complaints that they have about their city. So, I guess it is impossible for us to find a perfect city. Hence, the only criterion for us to determine which city to live in or, in the same context but different application, which church to settle in, I believe it lies in the call of God – where has God called us to be!

The calling of God revolves around His timing, His people and the place that He wants us to be in. You and I can be doing the right thing but doing it in the wrong place. And that is not good. So, it is wise to take time to pray and seek God to know the heart and the desire of God. That way we will not be getting ahead of ourselves or ending up in the wrong place, doing the wrong thing. He is a good Father and His goal is always to draw us closer to Him.

Can’t wait to see you all again.

Love you and miss you tons,

KEV
