I’m in Kuala Lumpur all afternoon today, in transit from Thailand, where I spend the last 10 days with some friends, to Japan, where I’ll meet up with my family and stay the next 2 weeks.

I couldn’t think of anything to do – until I remembered that its Sunday – and I thought, Let’s go to a church! Finding out where to go proved to be a challenge in this Muslim country, but something drove me on: a kind of hunger from having no Christian fellowship for 2 weeks.

At last I found a Tamil Methodist Church. I was an hour late, and dressed totally inappropriately (thongs and shorts don’t cut it, apparently).

And yet, I cannot begin to describe the joy I felt as I sang a hymn with brothers and sisters in another country! It was like coming home to family.

Yesterday I listened to Mark Driscoll explain the unity of fellowship with Christ, and today I experienced it. It’s true: There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:28)

In other news – the live worship album NiteEV Live launched this week. It’s awesome – I’ll write a full review later, but for now head to niteEV.com/live to listen for yourself (and grab a copy).
