Okay so our weekend retreat in Malaka was awesome.  We stayed at an awesome hotel and the city was really cool.  If nothing else the weekend was a nice break from all the hustle and bustle that is the Nilai team every day.  We helped put on a concert this past thursday for the students at the main campus we are mistering on.  The musicians were tow guys from America named Beau Bristow and David Story.  I had never heard of them before this concert before, but they were actually really good.  We had a great turnout too.  About a thousand students from INTI University came and there was a small gospel presentation which is hard to come by in a country that is so predominately muslim, buddhist and hindu.  We are still getting to know some of the individual students and hoping to share the gospel with them soon.  Please continue to pray for our unity as a team and our favor with these students.  We need your prayers to be able to get through these last couple weeks while having some affect on campus.  Also, we have been teaching english once a week for the past two weeks at the college and we had an english camp yesterday.  It was an all day event and at first my heart was really hard towards it.  I didnt want to plan for it and i didnt want to get up early and teach people about english all day.  However, in spite of my attitude, God made it an awesome day and we got to see the students make great progress in their english writing and speaking abilities.

Well I am going to sign off and go to bed because it has been a long day, like most days here.  Continue to pray for a movement of God here in Nilai.  Thanks.

Sorry it's been so long.  So I've been in Malaysia for almost two weeks now!  I can't believe I have been here that long it feels like just yesterday we were landing in KL.  Unfortunately I can't upload any pictures because the computer I am using doesn't have a slot for my sd card.  So our team in Nilai, which is the equivalent to the country, is so awesome and God has been blessing us with so many relationships on campus so far.  We have met and are following up about 20 new guys and are getting to know students who are already involved in a local ministry.  We have done bible studies and many other activities and sports so far and we hardly have a minute to rest.  The food is really good which is surpriseing to me.  I thought I would have a really rough time acclamating to it.  We are headed back to campus in a few minutes so I will close with this:  Thank you for all your prayers they are working.  God is blessing our efforts on campus and also personally within our team and our hearts.  Continue to pray for us as we have a weekend retreat in Malaka which is a historical port city on the coast.  Pray that students would begin to hear and accept the gospel as their saving grace.  Pray for the advancement of the kingdom.

Slave to Righteousness,
