I'm back from an exciting mission trip.

I just came back from an exhilarating mission trip from Macau. It was great fun. I had lots of fun there and had lots of experiences there too. There were 14 kids and 6 staff that took part in this mission trip.

We took a plane from Penang to KL and then KL to Macau.

We lived in a nice apartment there. Its amazing how 16 of us could fit in to that apartment that has only 2 toilets. :) The other 4 slept in another house.

We did an English camp there. It lasted for five days. We taught the children from the local schools English while trying to evangelize to them through making friends.

We did an outreach performance in a park near the place where we lived. We also got the opportunity to perform in some of the local and international churches there.

There were many amazing moments, like there was once we were walking across the street and one of the members were not paying attention to the street, she walked out and a car was driving so fast straight at her. I rushed out to hold her back but there was this invisible force that just pushed me back indicating that I should not jump out. An in a flash of a second, I saw the same invisible force which pushed me, pushed her back into the sidewalk. That was a very amazing experience to me.

A lot of people ask me what I learned and gained through this camp.Well, through this camp I:

  • Have grown much closer to God.
  • Learned how to listen to God’s still small voice.
  • Witnessed spiritual warfare
  • Understood how strong Satan and his angels are and how much they want to crush the seeds of men
  • Learned how to call on God’s name and seek him as my refuge
  • Learned that God does answer prayers
  • Learned that God can heal
  • Learned that God isn’t someone superior sitting up there that doesn’t want to have anything to do with us. In fact, he wants to be our loving father.
  • Learned that prayers are very powerful and they do make a difference

One of the most important things I’ve learned is also spending quality time with fellow Christian brothers and sisters is very important and vital for our spiritual growth. It can change the way ion how you look at things and how you want to deal with it.

Through these 17 days that we were together, we each grew vey close to one another. We really knew we were going to miss each other after leaving this camp but fortunately for most of us, we were from the same school. We may not be seeing each other that often as we are from different grades but have decided to make an effort to meet up once a month.

I’m so glad that I had this extraordinary opportunity to do so many things and experience so much in just 17 days….

I will continue to cherish this awesome trip in my heart and used what I have learned in the camp to apply to my daily life.
