This is it. Family Force 6 has made it to Month 11 of The World Race! Can you believe it? 33 more days on the field. When we signed up for the Race, we all thought month 11 would be in Vietnam, but midway through our journey around the world, our last stop was changed to Malaysia. To be honest, I didn’t even know Malaysia was a country. I was super bummed about not going to Vietnam, but I know God wants us in Malaysia.
As usual, I have done some research to learn more about the place we will be living in for the next month.
Here are my random facts about Malaysia:
· The King is an elected monarch
· Malaysia is made of two land bodies. A main peninsula off of Thailand and then another body of land attached to Indonesia.
· Islam is the state religion and freedom of religion is granted.
· 61.3 % practice Islam. 19.8% practice Buddhism. 9.2% practice Christianity. 6.3% practice Hinduism and 1.3% practice traditional Chinese religions.
· Thunderstorms/monsoon rains are common daily.
· The 2nd and 3rd tallest buildings in the world are in Kuala Lumpur.
· The country is very ethnically diverse both culture and language.
Family Force 6 is going to be working in/around Kuala Lumpur. I am excited to finally be in a capital city. We will be working at 3 different locations during our time in Malaysia.
Ministry this month: working with churches and youth in the communities. I am excited about what this month holds and I know it will be a good ending to this 11 month journey.
(I am super excited for this city!)
