Mission 101 - Day 6

Back to back updates!

As usual, opened with a morning prayer which was good. They had a "Desert Day" (which is something like a self reflection/personal time individually) at Sapi Island. They did some snorkeling which created a huge appetite for lunch and then headed back to town to do a simple "prayer-walk". Attended an evening Mass at Sacred Heart Cathedral. It felt refreshing (not sure why, got to ask Anne ;p), followed by dinner with some KK Lifeliners (our sisters!)

Mission 101 - Day 5

Sorry guys, the update is slightly lagging. Must be the "time-zone" in Sabah. The pace there is way slower than KL. :p

They had a debriefing guided by Sr. Imelda which was awesome! They shared about how God spoke to each one of them in their experience throughout the mission trip. They gave their individual feedback on areas to improve in the program in future. They left Tuaran for Martin's parents' house to stay, wash clothes and rest. Evening came, they met up with the KK Lifeline crowd where Alex shared about Saints while Crisabel, Jennifer and Stacie gave testimonies. The session was Spirit filled which called for supper after that :p

Yuli shares, "I believe miracles will always happens and even can beyond our imaginantions."

Just Yuli being her smily self

I would like to share about one of my experience with Jesus.

I remembered when last semesters, all my hozmates which also my best fren from the first time since I was in Malaysia left me to further study. To be honest, at the first place there's feeling of released because I just feel too bonded while I was with them.

At first week they left me, I spend my holiday with doing internship and therefore feeling of being alone is disappear. However, the first thing start to worries me when the sem start after my break finished. Then, everday I keep worries about everything as now I doing everything alone, things like: lunch, dinner, frens to study, to share, etc. I feel unsecured, uncertain, sadness, all d worries keeps annoyed me.

Then, one day I went to leader's outreach. In one sections, we have to take 1 paper filling with bible's verse. I get verse," Jesus is the same from the past, now and future."
I am started to think and believe that God give me this situations doesn't mean He leaves me but He sure have others purpose.

From that so on, I learned about how blessfull to have people surrounding me in every minutes. So, I changed my prayer to say thankfull everyday instead of asking giving me frens immediately. I realised that is just so ego and foolish to do that.Thus, I changed my pray to God said that I trusted Him and have faith in Him that he will give the best for me.
Now, I asking God for always give me guidance and lightening my way to suits in His way.

From that, I slowly feel peace in day to day. Now, I believe we had to put our faith in God, because when we worry too much it's just wasting time and energy. So, everything that seems misserable in our life better to only pray, hope and do our best and be humble in our prayer. As it is written in Jer 29:11. I believe miracles will always happens and even can beyond our imaginantions.

MIssion 101 - Day 4

Started the morning with a prayer in the open (outside the chapel) with the youths. Proceeded a gotong-royong at the chapel. Had some fun rolling under the sun whilst singing. Some took time to do a one-on-one (personal ministering) as well. Some even prayed spontaneously and felt God's presence in the chapel.

They travelled back to Tuaran and by evening, had a pot bless. They shared their experiences with the youths as well as church elders. Followed by fellowship of which one of the team members taught all of them to dance ROCK! Awesome fun! At night, some of the team members stayed up late to chat and ended up having a very moving sharing. God's Holy Spirit is truly present. Praise God!

Mission 101 - Day 3

Yesterday, they had fellowship at Kampung Logub in the morning. Some went hiking in the woods with some of the youths who accompanied them the whole trip. The rest of them stayed back with the host family and shared a bit about pro-life.

In the afternoon, they travelled to Kampung Tambulaong and met up with teens and youth alike. They hung out with them fishing and played ball. Evening came and they had a pot bless with host families and youths. Again, they had testimonies but from the local youths instead. Nevertheless, we had Jennifer shared about Lifeline. Since Stacie had graced us with her awesome "Forgiveness" talk not too long ago, she also shared it with them. Great day.

Oh guys, here's a hint of what we're going to do this Friday. =D

Mission 101 - Day 2

Cock-a-doodle-doo!! Morning call is at 5.00am.

Today they took an hour to hike to the waterfalls followed by lunch thereafter. Had a mini fellowship with the teens who tagged along whilst some swam in the cool waters. After lunch, our dear missionaries cleared weeds from a pumpkin patch or slope which was pretty steep.

After weeding, it's time to take another 1-hour hike to the next village. Super exhaustion! Covered in dirt and mud only calls for a chilly shower from a pipe outdoors with no doors! Yikes! Famished, they delve into another pot bless. Tummies full and satisfied, Ee Lynn gave a powerful sharing in BM!! *gasps* Amazing! Soon after, Lei Sunn shared her testimony as well. And that was it for the day..
