Mission: Kota Bahru

This is the second Aspirers-sent mission trip, and I have the intention to be on every single one of it for as much as I can. There is something about being on a mission trip that quickens the spirit being of a person. It's not just the thought of going elsewhere (though that is a big plus) but as much as we receive in our Christian life, we need to give. For as water flows into a stream, it has to flow out, less the water becomes stale. And so in giving we learn to live.

This trip was to Kota Bahru, Kelantan - the land in which Eunice dwelt the last one year.

I can only hope that our presence was a blessing and inspiration to the church there. For that reason we came. But personally and as a team, we were blessed as well:
  • I was blessed to see how faithful and dedicated the people were to the things of God. It was not a question of how much done but how much more they can give. Even young children served with what they have.
  • I was blessed to know that parents there placed an importance on the things of God and desire to see their children draw closer to God. Study was not the most important thing, and with that the children were blessed in their studies.
  • We saw God in small things and small ways as well, as He guided us and protected us.
  • The people were friendly and opened to us though we are outsider - to be honest I at first tot they were not very friendly but saw how they warmed up, starting from the youngest up.
