Well, we have arrived safely in Singapore. Our wonderful Lord gave us bulkhead seats which made the 16 hour trip SOOO much easier…
We left the UK at 17:00 on Saturday & arrived in Singapore at 16:00 Sunday local time. We were hit with warm & humid weather - 31C at 16:00! Didn’t need any visa’s & the customs just smiled & let us through.
We are staying at a lovely hotel about half an hour from the airport - air conditioned Since the rest of the team from Canada arrives at midnight, we quickly checked in & jumped on the nearest underground to explore as much of Singapore as we could. It’s amazingly clean & modern. We started of at China Town with lovely smells of noodles & fried rice. Had to try coconut milk while watching a chinese opera live in the middle of the street. Amazing night life, very friendly people. Everyone targeted Pieter for some sales, since he stands out a few feet above the rest of the crowd By that stage I would just disappear in the crowds…
We went on a “not-so-live-changing” boat trip at night, but that was the best way to see the rest of Singapore - we just couldn’t walk any more! The guide was so enthusiastic to show us all the details. Singapore by night is beautiful & since we didn’t have space to pack our tripod to take steady pics, you’ll just have to take our word for it! All the modern buildings & bridges are amazing (really Neil!!), there’s not 2 that look the same.
After feeling very hot & muggy by about 23:00 we returned to our hotel for a well deserved kip. The team should almost be here, but we will call it the night & meet them all tomorrow.
We can’t wait to see what tomorrow is going to bring! We are taking a ferry to Batam, which is an island that is part of Malaysia to minister there in the evening. We know God has big plans for this part of the world & we can’t wait to be a part of it!! Thanks so much for praying & supporting us. Love you all loads & will try to check back in tomorrow

Love Pieter & Karin xx
