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 ...

Ego, a female feline - adoption & what to expect after that

By
My daughter adopted a kitten (2.5 months) from SPCA. We pay $65 to adopt her and this covers the cost of sterilisation, vaccination and microchipping. Initially she had spotted one that was cute but while we reached there, the kitten was already adopted by someone else. She decided to adopt the kitten which I found uncomely, didn't look cute at all. Furthermore she was a very active kitten and displayed alot of temperament, she meowed at you and tried to force open the cage. We were told that our whole family must be there to receive counselling before adoption can be made. I think the reason is to be realised by me later. It is a lifetime commitment with considerable responsibilities. A cat can live up to 20 years of age. Having a kitten is not easy. First of all, it is the droppings that we have to clear. She is a smart kitten, she knew how to use a cat litter tray. Each time she excretes, she will bury her droppings under the litter. No matter how she buried, the s...

A visit to Aeroponic Farm & Mushroom farm

By
My sister-in-law is a horticulturist and today she led us to a farm visit to the Aeroponic farm in the Kranji Countryside. We set off at 9.45am from Ang Mo Kio & reach Kranji MRT around 10.15am. The Kranji Express Bus will arrive at 10.30am. There is a need to follow the bus schedule else you have to wait for more than 1 1/2 hour. This is the greenhouse also called a glasshouse or hothouse and is a building where plants are cultivated. From Wilkipedia: A greenhouse is a structure with a glass or plastic roof and frequently glass or plastic walls; it heats up because incoming solar radiation from the sun warms plants, soil, and other things inside the building faster than heat can escape the structure. Air warmed by the heat from hot interior surfaces is retained in the building by the roof and wall. These structures range in size from small sheds to very large buildings This is Butterhead lettuce. Their leaves are soft and pliable with loose heads. They can be made into drink....
