bintan mission trip

This mission trip is a little different to me, for one of the rare times i "escaped" with nothing in charge.. .. Candy realised only after or during the trip.. =) *whew*

So i had plenty of chance and opportunity to observe.

Thank God for the folks who would rise up to the occasion to do something that they never dared or wanted to do despite the initial hesitation.. like Arthur in his sharing, Jade for Mc. . .slyvia and benson to take the courage to share the testimony..
And folks who are willing to use their giftings fully like amanda, yvonne and ruby in their kids, ben and ray for music, mike and jade in their language.. and definitely candy for coordinating the whole thing and present for every meeting and practise..

one thing i love is actually the teamwork that everybody is willing to help and coordinate and do their bit. .

Alot of us, actually do manage to click with folks and communicate with them, talk to them and pray with them, it's good to see that there are non christians who came to listen to the words and participate in the worship. It's good that we can sow some seeds in these ppl's heart..

Let's continue to pray for this church and the pastor.

Alice.
