IM back in SINGAPORE!! actually back few days ago le.. haha.. but its so refreshin.. e thai mission trip! thank God tat i haf this chance to go n experience it myself!! its really God if not my parents wont b so easy to allow me.. after clearing my
1st obstacle - parents.. i had e
2nd obstacle - $$$.. thank God for meng, jes n ling.. for lendin me.. im payin off asap.. saving up.. long story.. at 1st my dad sponsoring.. in e end.. haha.. i had 2 pay myself.. but nvm.. wif God im able! settling e 1st 2 obstacle.. i tot all i haf is to wait for e mission trip itself.. but my
3rd obstacle is dere! SICK!! on e night b4 i set off.. i had a bad feelin.. cos i took e temp is 37.5 or sth.. i really prayed hard.. e nx day it did not subside.. but instead it went up to 37.8 or sth.. den i was thinkin.. God is so so cute.. haha.. when i wish tat i'll b sick n can rest.. He din gimmi e fever. but when im going off He gaf me.. i din complain or sth.. but i feel e sense of assurance.. so i was faith-filled & told God tat "whether i'll b healed on tat day anot is fully depenedin on You le.. cos i know You has e best plan n will let me b in e best condition to learn." thank God.. after tat in e nite.. i was healed!! Praise God!! i guess God is tryin to tell me sth..
to haf faith n depend on Him n everything will b jus e way He intend to be.
mission trip was great!! learnt alot.. although not as "WOW" as e previous batch.. rhema word from God.. but lyk Gideon says.. God wont overteach.. it may b e things we need currently.. cos we're leadin caregroup.. so wat we learnt are more of practical things.. n its so amazing to see myself knowing ppl in thailand.. whu is completely stranger at 1st.. but we had 1 thing in common - JESUS! it connect us 2gether!
the first few days we spend at Phitsanulok.. e fellowship was great!! we had alot of fun.. really enjoyed it..we jus know the ppl dere for arnd 3-4 days n yet we feel so close.. really miss dem lots.. hope to see dem again. we're really inspired by e ppl dere.. dey're so simple.. yet faith-filled ppl for God! 2nd day in hope Sam Ngam.. everyone was so frenly & serving.. dey served each other n can see its not jus in front of us.. but dey're always doing it all e tym.. even e pastor. *grin* He's really humble n serving.. he look lyk any ordinary person but yet he's greatly used by God to lead e ppl dere! Gideon says he even sacrifies himself tat night to sleep outside wif them.. which he can chose not to.. he slp at e position tat has no fan.. which means e mosqito will attack most.. so tat gideon n yiqin can slp wif e fan n more comfortable.. is lyk he can jolly well jus enjoy himself in his room but he came out wif dem..
we went to hope phitsanulok's service on sun. e ppl r really excited! not jus youth!! but from ppl age lyk us to 60++ yrs old.. saw an aunty whu is half body paralysed.. praisin Jesus wif all she can.. during sermon ppl so convicted tat everyone is shouting. afterall we feel so welcomed by e ppl dere.. dey really shower us wif gifts tat is personalize by dem.. oh ya.. lastly Pastor Jo.. he preached during e service.. wif such conviction.. b4 tat i saw him really praising God lyk a child.. so cool to c a grown-up man wearing suit jumpin n praising lyk a little boy..
After service we went to e floodin area.. 1st tym seeing disaster wif my very own life.. Singapore is so fortunate tat we dun face tis.. everything is jus nice n dun nit 2 worry bout.. tat makes ppl feel contented n thinks dey dun nit a "God" in their live to control dem.. really feel a burden for e unsaved souls.. if this happen to singapore.. dunno how many ppl will lose their salvation.. so we mus realy go out n reach out to ppl!! perharps tats y God wan us to see it..
Back to Bangkok.. although we onli spent abit of tym dere.. im inspired by their heart for God. they really c e value of serving e kingdom of God.. There's s sis tat commit her life wholly to God.. she sign contract w e company tat she wanna bring her work home n do so tat she can do ministry in daytime.. she evax wif her ppl n serve God in e day n onli start her work at night.. everyday slpin from 2am-6am.. she say honestly she'll b tired sometimes.. but God is her strength. she oso say she learn Eng so tat nx tym she can relate to ppl n prepare herself for missions 1 day.. dey really haf big dreams for God.. n r preparing demself to fulfil it.. another sis.. she's jus a ordinary shepherd.. but she wan to plant church in Russia.. cos she say dere are alot of conflicts dere.. e ppl really need God! Another DL in youth dere wanted to be a nurse back.. so tat she can do missions oso. They really wanna do things for God globally.. not jus in thailand but thru long-term missions too..
Learnt n inspired by dem lots.. will nv forget this trip.. e ppl dere.. Pi Do, Pi Bim, Pi May, Pi Wi, Pi Ing.. lots of dem.. thank you God for everything u impart to us! =)
