A Journey of Faith and Flight: Our First Days in Malaysia

We've officially been in Malaysia for a full day, and yesterday was all about recovery. After years of family travels, I can honestly say this journey has been the most draining yet. It all began in San Diego, where we spent three days grounding ourselves as a family. We really focused on our daily routine and teamwork, a philosophy we believe can make any place in the world feel like home. I was so impressed by how well we worked together.

From there, we drove to LAX for what would be an epic flight to Singapore—the fifth-longest in the world at 16 hours and 40 minutes! To top it off, I did it with a baby in my lap. After that marathon, we finally boarded the last leg of our journey to Kuala Lumpur, our current home base.

Our arrival was a little rough. I was a mix of delirious, disoriented, and honestly, pretty emotional. Stepping into this new country, everything felt so foreign. I felt a powerful ache for my home and for Mexico. But this morning, we woke up, worshipped our Creator, and found a much better place. We're now out enjoying our day.

The challenges of the last few days have been a profound reminder: life is full of hurdles that call us to lean on our faith. I hope you have the chance to seek your own adventure today—that's where you'll find it!

It was hard in ways that drew us closer to the Lord and in ways that transformed us for the better. We were greeted with exciting news at the end of the year.

The Almighty's Ongoing Conversation (From a Raised Hand to a Ministry Launched)

  Hola amigos! If you're reading this, it's likely because of your love for our family, and for that, we are so thankful! We've talked about starting a newsletter for years, and with so much to share and celebrate, we can’t put it off any longer. As I write this, I’m sitting in Phuket, Thailand . Being here has deep and special meaning for our family and our faith. Yesterday, Britt and I visited Phuket Christian Centre (PCC) . Twenty years ago, this was the place where Britt was introduced to Jesus. I still remember it. During an altar call, the pastor asked anyone who wanted to know more about Jesus to raise a hand while everyone else kept their heads bowed and eyes closed. Typically, Britt would be downtown shopping while I was at church, but not that day. She describes feeling no conscious desire to know God, yet she felt her hand go up involuntarily. A woman in the congregation approached her, but Britt felt a bit weirded out and only engaged enough to be polite. But in...

Ministry Update: From Singapore to Northern Thailand It has been just over two months since our last update, and so much has happened! Our last report came from Phuket, where we reflected on our time in India and Malaysia and remembered what God did in our lives there nearly 20 years ago. (If you missed that post, https://thepocockfamilymission.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-almightys-ongoing-conversation-from.html ). Singapore & The Pan-Asian Conference We recently attended Heartbeat International’s Pan-Asian Conference in Singapore. The training was top-notch, but the greatest blessing was the fellowship. We connected with humble, gifted leaders from across Asia—some there for the week, others for a lifetime. We were also super blessed to connect with friends from Mexico there. We met the Sho family in Mexico and they were a special blessing to us in our last days in Singapore. Making memories with the Sho family in Singapore. It was a joy to reconnect with these dear friends from our ...
