Thank God for the mission trip (19th-21st Nov 2008)


Thank God for a safe and fruitful mission trip to Kemaman. Thank God for giving me wisdom to teach the children. After the trip, I realised that our church is very blessed compared to the church over there. They don't have a church pianist and they are lacked of Sunday School teachers. I also attended the Friday evening service. I noticed that quite a number of youths are not attending the service even though they attended the fellowship meeting in the afternoon. After a chat with one of the youths there, I realised that some felt bored, some go to Kuantan for entertainment and some just don't want to attend the service. I also came to know that the English service people are getting lesser and lesser. It is really not an easy work over there. Dr Wee and Mrs. Wee are very hospitable people; everyday we ate sumptuous food. I really admired them that for the work of the gospel, they can use their house for Vocation Bible School (VBS). During the VBS, whenever there is a break time, the children will run around the house; as if the house has turned into a mad house! Not to mention, after the children left, they have to clean up the place. Even though there is a maid who helped out, I still admired their kind act. Dr. Wee shared that they hoped that by reaching out to the children, the children can bring their parents to church. This act of sowing the gospel seed really encourages my heart! If God willing, I will be going again next year! May God preserved the church over there.
