Musicfest October 31st. COME!

If you're in Singapore, I invite you to join me...not just because my performance will be hilarious and fun BUT also because I want spiritual friends to join me on site to pray for the staff of the hospital, the organisers, the patients, and patient visitors, as we move through the grounds that day.

Can you join me?

K!Mberly sings your favourite songs from movies but she's changed some of the lyrics to put a smile on your face. Her Singapore versions of "Part of Your World" (The Little Mermaid), proving that she’s become a heartlander Auntie in her version “Colors of the Wind” (Pochahantas) is guaranteed to make you laugh.  Last year, the biggest hit was “Beauty and the Breast” about getting a mammogram. K!Mberly has called Singapore home since 1999 but she moves back to her native Los Angeles in 15 days. This music festival is her Singapore swan song!

How to Give/Support Us. For our Singaporean Friends.

After 17 years in Asia,

we are making a transition back to USA. For a time, Los Angeles will be home base and we will be reconnecting with those individuals and 4 churches who have supported us while we've served the Lord by serving YOU in Asia! Now is a chance for you to give as a gift of gratitude and support while we spend some time with the people who sent us here!

I (Kimberly) am praying that combined giving of our Singapore friends will be enough to cover remaining local expenses (like income tax thru this year) and that the account will grow so that in the future, we can use this UOB account to pay for ministry travel to and around Asia.

Where your money is, your heart (and prayers) will be also, and we could use both kinds of support!

Pray about making a commitment to a regular gift for support through this transition year. One friend has said, "Even if it is as much as buying them a cup of coffee a week, Together small gifts will make a big difference."  

We have seen over the years that USA friends giving large and small amounts have been exactly what we needed over the years of changing exchange rates and expenses. God has been so faithful in his provision. We don't focus on money. We spend little energy on that. But right now, with all the costs of the move (storage for a time in KL, and then shipping a container somewhere), and the major surgery & rehab, and taking time off from the full-time work of "Building Spiritual Leaders in Asia," and the aging of our initial support base (just this past month 3 have graduated to heaven)...well, we look forward to seeing how God does it this time!  

The Lord, by his Spirit, has made it clear to me that in saying goodbye to you, our Singaporean friends, it is a season to encourage your generosity. Perhaps he's saying that you will become a significant part of our financial support base in the future. He knows.

But what YOU need to know is HOW to give. So, here you go!

Navigating Transitions Seminar (take 2)

@St. George's Anglican Church, Singapore. Ladies Only.

My Introduction: 

• Find a moving company. 
• Sort through this and that and everything else. Buy more big garbage bags. Shoo the buzzards away who are asking me what I’m getting rid of before I’ve made a list. Sort some more. 
• Follow up with the contractor about what needs to be done to the LA place before we get back. Does he think we should recarpet it after 27 years? Send the invites for the going away party. 
• Forward the mail and subscriptions. 
• Post that doc with the things for sale. How much should I ask for those IKEA bookshelves? 
• Sort some more. 
• Redeem my gazillion Singapore Amex points. 
• Check again when our lease is over. Did we pay 1^st AND last months rent? 
• Patch the plaster, fix, return, retrieve, and pack. 
• But not before I try to drink up the rest of the liquor.  

• [Did I actually SAY that?]

Sound familiar to you?

I am preparing for another international move. Back to California next month after nearly 17 years in Asia, 14 of them here. I’ve lost count, but I think it’s my 9^th move since 1997. We spent one year back in California before the boys left the nest. Somewhere in the middle. I have learned some really good things along the way about transitions, and my guess is, you all are in the middle of or facing some kind of transition soon. Thank you for inviting me to help you understand and go through your transition and keep you head on your shoulders and your heart soft.

If you want the notes from the seminar. Message me. I'll email them to you.
