My first mission trip in Cambodia

Image
By
It all started with a dream.  On 1 Jan 2013, I had a dream.  I was cycling and someone was directing me.  In my dream, I saw Myanmar on my left and Vietnam on my right.  I got the impression not to go beyond that.  I woke up and quickly checked the map and saw Myanmar on my left and Vietnam on my right.  God has started to prepare my heart to take a step further.

 
There is a group of sisters that we regularly meet for lunch and fellowship and one of the sister's husband is a missionary.  We were curious to find out more of the mission work and we invited the sister's husband to share with us.  When we heard that her husband is leading a mission to Cambodia in Jun, we felt a stir within and indicated that we would like to be part of the mission.
 
We started attending training twice a month to prepare for the mission trip.  The first training is in February.  I enjoyed the training very much.  1 John 2:6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked is our guiding principle. The training helps to equip God's people to be disciple makers to be sent out to answer Jesus' call.  It gives an overview of Jesus' life and ministry.   A pattern of life that Jesus lived and Jesus' strategy of evangelism.  As we were conducting the training in Cambodia, I pray that many leaders will catch God's vision in Habukkuk 2:14 and answers Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20.
 
Our mission trip is from Jun 24 - 30, 2013.  We visited a church in the midst of a village.  It is very heart warming. In Romans 15: 20 It has always been Paul ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known...  It touches my heart to see missionaries who selflessly bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to places where Christ was not known, to the village which is quite unreached.  I met one missionary who came to Cambodia from Indonesia.  He was obedient to God's calling and came to Cambodia with his wife.  He started a family there and was instrumental to connect missionaries from all over the world to Cambodia.  May God bless this beautiful couple abundantly.!
 
Below is a picture of the village church.
 

There is no wall that surrounds the church building.  The villagers are simple people and they were hungry for God's word.

Praise the Lord!  God loves Cambodia.

New lawyer Darren Tan once spent 10 years in jail PUBLISHED IN ST ON AUG 25, 2014 11:47 AM

I love to hear testimonies of God's transforming works in a person's life.  It encourages me & I hope when I post it here, it encourages you too!    Mr Darren Tan with his proud parents - Mr Tan Chon Kiat and Madam Ong Ai Hock. The new lawyer changed the course of his life while he was behind bars.  BY CHANG AI-LIEN SENIOR CORRESPONDENT Darren Tan, 35, is finally a full-fledged lawyer. He reached that milestone yesterday when he was called to the Bar during a mass ceremony at Nanyang Technological University. It was a far cry from his shaky start in life when drugs and gang activities led to over 10 years behind bars and 19 strokes of the cane. "This is the culmination of what I've been working towards for the last 10 years," he told The Sunday Times. "It's like waking up from a dream and finding out your dream has become reality." His life of crime began at the age of 14, and he was in and out of prison for offences that ...

A eagle story

By
Got this story from an email and find it very meaningful. Please read on ... There is a story about a little eagle that fell out of its nest and landed in a turkey farm. The eagle grew up among the turkeys and, although he looked a bit different, he learned to waddle like a turkey, bob his head like a turkey, and act like a turkey. One day the young eagle looked up into the sky and saw a beautiful eagle soaring above. The little eagle in the turkey yard thought, Oh, I would love to be able to do that! As the eagle soared overhead, it looked down and saw the young eagle below. Suddenly it swooped down to the ground and asked, "What are you doing here?" The little eagle replied, "I am just here in the turkey yard where I have always been." The great eagle looked and said, "Spread your wings, boy. You do just what I do. Follow me." Then he flapped his wings and lifted off the ground. The young eagle tried it, too. "Wheeee! This is all right!" "...

Loving one another

By
1 John 4:20b. .. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. The above verse is a very good reminder.   We need to love not only in words but in deeds. Just visited a brother who was sick.  He could not come for the church meeting as his sickness has handicapped him.  But praise God, I saw the love of the brothers and sisters who take turn to care for him.  To fetch him to the meeting hall and also to read the bible with him.  By so doing, they have strengthened his faith. 1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 3:18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. I have read from a blog on how to care for one another: First Thing Is Prayer If you really love your neighbor, the first thing you will do is pray for them. As a human you are li...
