Pos Sungai Raya - Gopeng Mission Trip

a day before the mission trip..we have a prayer meeting at church specifically for the mission trip...after the meeting, i was supposed to have a short discussion with Auntie Lim Oi Lan (from Sabah) on the material which i have prepared. But i notice that i left the material back at office. Thank God, my housemate was there to drive me back to office to pick it up (by then is almost 10:30pm)...no one at my floor *of course*... later then i was still bz prepare the material for the kids...man, tell you at the time i really have mix feelings...excited / kamchiong -> you name it.

then next day, i was picked up by church friends...when we reached St Mary, everyone was there...packing their stuffs into 2 vans, we start our journey about 8am...the weather was just nice...no hot sunshine...no rain...we reached tanjung malim to buy our *main food* -> babs hutan...hehe... then we went to nearby foodcourt to have our *brunch*...tell you the food there is really cheap (2 meat + 1 vege -> RM3)...just the slow beverage service...then we proceed to Pos Raya...it felt so nice to those green scenes along the way...so refreshing! when we reach the church, our van got stuck in the mud...gary the drive ask us to *move it move it* in the van...haih, so funny. Compare to Ulu Groh, the place is much bigger...let you see some of scenery...

The mountains

The boy's sleeping camp

From the 1st day, all 11 of us start bz prepare for dinner, registration card & others...really enjoyed as all of us work together regardless what are the task which have been assigned earlier. That nite, we have short meeting with Gopeng AJK on what are the task we going to do...

Overall, this time around the youths are quite naughty with stubborn heart compare to last year. Can see that some of them come was not because of the word of God but to meet their friends & musics. (which is quite dissapointing). From this, it teaches me about the important to emphasize the Word of God rather than P&W...to work in humble way so that when people advice us we will listen to it....not just based on our own judgement which mostly can be quite selfish. This what i see in some of my own friends around, as they've been involved in church activities for quite sometime, they tend to think they are better / very good / experienced in doing it, and when people advice them...they tend to argue back or won't listen & eventually become the opposition of whatever other people are doing as it is against their own way. Very sad to think about it, but that's how satan attack (spiritually).

But overall, from what happen it teach me a lot...

1. Always remember to be humble in work

2. Silent is way better than arguing, Prayer is the best way than ignore them

3. The temptations / trouble that we face while working for God, is a very value learning experience to grow & remind us to always work in humble..

4. God sent me (where i am rite now) away from my family is not by coincident, but because there's something He wants me to do for Him here in peninsular...i really appreciate i got the chance to joined & grow more in this children ministry & now i'm able (although still learning) to teach the kids about Word of God...

Ohya, this time around, meet a few kids which i've met at Ulu Groh...Thank God, the kids are ok compare to youth, they listen & willing to follow the activities *games, songs, coloring etc* here's part of the kids which i able to take photo with...

They really have good memory, they can easily remember the memory verse easily after a few time, and next day when i try to asked them again, they still able to recite it corrently...The word of God that share with them was the story about a boy gave (5 piece of bread & 2 fishes to Jesus to fed 5000 people) Memory verse: Rome 12:1 "Persembahkan tubuhmu untuk Tuhan" ...another story that i share with them is wordless book ( this time around, Auntie teach me to use shoe to teach the kids : Black - sin, Red - Blood of Christ, White - Cleanse by blood of Christ, Yellow- Heaven, Green - to be a christian that grows .:. read bibles, pray, do good things to others)...simple message to the kids but a very good way for them to tell their friends about Christ. The Memory verse: Hebrew 13:6 "Tuhan adalah Penolong ku. Aku tidak akan takut" teach the children, what ever problem that they face, they should not be afraid, as God will be there with them. Overall, i learned a lot as i teach the children about the word of God and Auntie also teach me a lot about the kids too (as she's been very active in youth & children ministry)...

Really love the experience that i gained from this mission trip. A lot!!
