missions 2

on the third day, we headed over to this village called pekan jabi. we made use of this supposed senior citizens home, but which was actually just an empty building somewhat like a classroom. when we went over there, God moved again and this time he dealt with me again in the area of my condemnation. this time qinzheng asked me to renounce those feelings. felt some resistance, but when i finally renounced it i felt even more free and released. ken also told me about refusing to look at what lies behind and just looking forward and be free from the inadequacies.

after that, we had a sharing and the sisters shared on how God revealed to them in their morning devotion about the cross. really inspiring. made me think very hard on what true submission and servanthood to God is. how we tend to take the things of God for granted so easily and lose that reverence for God and just forget how great and impt He is. really like the 'Amen' thing. as Christians, when we say 'Amen', do we say it just cos it is the way we should end a prayer, or do we say it cos we want to ascertain what we have said in our prayer? is God still God after we've been through a tough day?

at night, had a sharing with the brothers. think after our sharing, when we were honest and open with each other, God gave us that unity to stand together as a body of brothers. learning to see how true fellowship should be like and how we can forget about the differences between each other as we stand united when we war against the enemy.

next morning, the brothers had quite a great devotion. think its inspired by the move of God in the sisters' devotion the day b4. not that we copy them (XP), but i think its just that our hunger for God was stimulated lah. guess from this i can learn that seeking God should be an everyday thing, and a touch from God is something that we can get if we are hungry enough for it.

at night had our first outreach, at pekan jabi. was quite discouraged by the turnout initially, cos all children. when worship started i felt quite sian, cos they were singing all the children church songs and such, but i think God just put it in my heart to worship Him no matter what. found that liberation and joy in just worshiping Him. learnt to give everything to him in such circumstances. in the end, however, God had His plan, as we managed to connect with some youths who came very late, and actually one of them i talked to prayed the sinners' prayer.

ok, shall go do some stuff b4 i complete the whole run. more coming up soon...
