We were pleasantly surprised to receive a call from our good friend Sister Yeo Soo Hong last Sunday telling us she would bring two old friends to see us. They were Janice and Malcolm McInnnes originally from New Zealand and now living in Australia. They still consider themselves as Kiwis. But we had a very busy day with tight schedule so could not fit them in. So arrangements were made for them to come to our home last Tuesday 26th April.
These lovely people served with ANZAC in the early 1970's and while in Singapore attended the Singapore Central Corps where my wife and I were the Corps Officers (pastors) for four years. They gave good support at the Corps. They played in the Band, Malcolm on the bass and Janice on tenor horn. They integrated well with local people plus servicemen from UK and Australia.
What a lot to talk about after forty years! Time went very quickly; They had other appointments in the evening and we had to attend the Bible Class at the Corps. Anyway we promised to keep contact and now with modern technology this is made easy.
God has blessed us with many friends - some make regular contacts via e-mail, face book etc. Others nearer home make telephone contacts. Some we hear maybe once a year during Christmas. Families and Friends are God's blessings to us.
