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 ...

3Ds - Declutter, Detox & Debug

By
Just learnt these 3 words in a seminar - De-clutter, De-tox, De-bug In order to hear God clearly, I need to constantly apply these 3Ds in my life:- 1) De-clutter Most of the times I have a hard time to discard things and I tend to keep them and then forgot about them.  Things get piled out and it does affect my search for important things.  Likewise, I also have many ungodly thoughts that can clutter my thought and keep me from hearing God.  It takes times to de-clutter and I need God to show me what it is that is hidden, which He desires for me to discard, so that there is a room to hear His voice. 2)  De-tox Toxic attitudes & behaviors that I allow into my life affects my hearing and has impact on my walk with God.  There are many lies that the enemy has planted in my thought life and this can impact my relationship with God. I need to discern and identif...

Changed Basket

Someone shared a beautiful story with me today. Passing it on: Why do we read bible even if we can't understand or remember ???? An old Farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa woke up early sitting at the kitchen table reading the bible. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could. One day the grandson  asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the bible just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Bible  do?" The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water." The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster next time," and sent him back to the river wit...
