On his way back from making his courtesy call to the US Assemblies of God Headquarters, President Tham Wan & his wife, Moon Tee, took a detour to visit with a couple of alumni. They met at the home of Dr. Todd Labute and his wife Heidi. The Labutes had taught for some years at the APTS Baguio campus. We joined Heidi's family as they celebrated the American Independence Day.

Mung is officially still on APTS faculty development. He is now doing his Ph.D. in Old Testament at the Trinity University, Chcago. He expects to finish his coursework in about 2 to 3 years' time.

Ruben was in the US originally for treatment for his eye. Along the way, he has taught at the Assemblies of God North Central University. When we were there, he was in the midst of he preparations for his wedding. At the time of writing, he is already married to a Ukrainian lady, Irina. Ruben still wants to come back to teach at APTS.

The Seminary Advancement Director, Tham Wan met up with a recent APTS graduate, Joseph Lian. Pastor Lian was on a short visit to Malaysia to minister to the Myanmarese, after attending a seminar in Singapore.

They talked over a breakfast of noodles at a food stall just outside of Kuala Lumpur. Pastor Lian spoke fondly of APTS as they talked about their time together at APTS. He is happy that APTS still has a strong interest in helping develop the ministry in Myanmar.

After graduating from APTS, Pastor Lian had worked as a Youth Pastor in his home church in Kalay City in the North of Myanmar. He is married now with two children, a girl and a boy. His wife is a graduate from the AG Bible College in Kolkata, India. Together, they are pioneering a church in a suburb of Yangon, Yuzana Garden City. The church is named Victory Community Church. The church also runs a pre-school.
