<div class="">Yes many thanks to Kjell for his pioneering work as he returned to Malaysia under Bishop Yap Kim Hao to begin our work there. We lived in a Methodist International house - Andrew will remember sharing a room with Wayne Marshall and I think Bernhard as well although he and Ray may have shared. Kjell recruited the first PLC and worked daily to get our visas approved while we waited in LA as the house there was just starting up. We did child care for the House until we were cleared just days before the course was to begin.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Kjell and I created a bit of a stir in conservative Malaysia as we traveled together to teach courses. He was known and beloved everywhere we went. His former church members greeted him lovingly and more than once smoothed the way thru bureaucracies. When we drove a car load of materials to Singapore for the ITI he got us thru customs without having to pay a heavy duty.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Those were great and amazing days.

Our weekly Order Report arrived after a few days delay due to censorship with phrases and paragraphs blacked out. Never a dull moment in Southeast Asia...Kjell was in Klang, pastor of the Methodist Church there, and was our steady House Church celebrant. He and Margie were great hosts for a new arrival to Asia, sharing in-depth historical background, current trends and lots of contacts in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. The International Training Institutes were a staple program of both 6 week and 3 week formats in Penang, Singapore, Bandung among other locations. Eunice and I met at Area Council meetings and on our visa turn-around trips between KL and S'pore. Kjell had a calming presence that calmed our anxieties and a spirit of adventure that pushed us into action. Thanks, Kjell for the grand adventure of your life and a vocational path that showed us all how to weather the storms. Rest in Peace, my friend and Journey on...Our love and admiration for the whole Knutsen clan!
