MISSION TRIP!!

We are going on MISSIONS! Yes, you read it correctly. There are 8 Lifeliners from St. Francis Xavier’s Church and St Thomas More Church, who will be going to Sabah for missions from 29th June till 5th July. We also have a fellow missionary from France who will be joining us.

Who are we?
  • Alex Chan
  • Anne Yong
  • Jennifer Lau
  • Martin Koh
  • Lei Sunn, Cheong
  • Stacie Ng
  • Crisabel Tiu
  • Ee Lynn, Yap
  • Buu-Vi
Why do we go on missions?
Matthew 28:19-20 – Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you….
We are all commissioned to preach to Good News of Christ, and going on missions is just 1 way of doing what God is commanding us J (note: we also have to carry this out in our daily lives too) There is a time and season for missions, and now is the time!

1 Timothy 2:3-4 – This is good and pleasing to God our saviour, who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth. “This is the Father’s will”
As we share the knowledge of the truth, and to help deepen their knowledge by our testimony, our faith in turn will increase.

What are we doing there?
We’ll be sharing our personal testimonies on how God is real in our lives, giving the people we meet the encouragement to continue to follow Christ and live a lifestyle that is pleasing to HIM through talks & sharings.
We want to also connect with the youths from Sabah who are coming to KL to work or to study, so that they know that there is a Catholic community in KL whom they can connect with.

Where are we going?
We will be meeting with a group of youths from St. John’s Tuaran parish on Monday, and will be journeying with them into Kiulu area for the next 4 days to live with the local folks and to share with them. On Friday, we’ll be travelling back to Kota Kinabalu and will be meeting with the KK Lifeliners and sharing there.

How can you be involved?
PRAY FOR US. Yes.. please pray for us. Going into the mission field, does not merely involve the people who are travelling there, but those who are from the church. Your prayers are important to us. Please pray for our safety, unity, openness to receive and to give of ourselves to the communities whom we will be meeting.
Your prayers are important to us!

THANK YOU all for being part of the BODY of Christ, for your support and prayers.

See you when we get back! God bless!

In Christ Love:
Missionary team
