Hi all! I'm back from my weekend mission trip! =)
I was really sick on Friday morning lazing on the bed with my Mum asking me seriously, "Oh no, you fell sick is it?" (Because everyone in my family are sick except for me then!) and finally with me waking up reluctantly with a headache and a bad cold (cough, flu and sore throat). Thank you dear friends for praying, to whom I have sent the message to! =) The Lord heard our prayers and made me better! I left for the trip with very bad cough and one ulcer! Praise God!
This mission trip was a very joyful one! The team is made up of very special individuals! Just imagine, a 80+ year old lady in the team (Auntie Shao Zheng!) and people embarking on their first mission trip! It's an interesting mix and I've learned a lot from them. Really thank God!
As I was praying for this mission trip, God impressed upon me that I am going not only to serve the people there but to serve our team as well. Also, like how Pastor Seow prayed for me, I am to go with JOY! And I did. Really thank God I didn't allow any personal worries to put me down during the trip. In fact, wasn't even thinking about it! =)
Let me share with all of you my first times in this mission trip:
My first time staying over at a village!
My first time sleeping at the same house (but not under the same roof) with 5 dogs!
My first time sleeping without a rooftop! (but w a bright moon and shiny stars!)
My first time visiting an orphanage! The children were lovely! =)
My first time leading worship in Indonesia Bahasa!
I will blog more when I get photos from my team mates! =) I really thank God for bringing me to Indonesia this weekend. It has put in me a whole new perspective of mission work. Opening my eyes to see the needs of the people in Indonesia. I thank God for what I have now and I pray that the Lord will continue to watch over them!
Anyhow, I came back with a bad cough, bad flu and many ulcers! Continue to pray and anticipate my thanksgiving on this blog! Stay tuned!
