Malang Mission Trip – Food Galore!!!

My final entry on my Malang mission trip and as promised, it is about FOOD!!! I know my blog has been lagging behind. Sometimes I am just too lazy to blog and personally, I prefer to tweet than to blog as it is so much easier with my iphone. Nonetheless, hope you people don’t mind my outdated posts… hehe… I promise I will be more prompt in future.

1st day breakfast. This is not Nasi Lemak. I cant remember the name but it tastes awesome!!!

 

This is like rice mixed with herbal soup and the red and white syrup on the right is something you must try. It is called Soda Gembira (which is soda with condensed milk). Indonesian version of Bandung. Only difference is that it is fizzy!!!

On the top left hand corner is a famous Indonesian dish called Bakso. It is similar to Singapore’s Yong Tau Foo with ingredients like tofu, meatballs and vegetables but the soup is very rich and yummy!!! On the top right hand corner is Tehbotol, a bottled tea commonly found in Indonesia.

Personally, I love Indonesian food a lot. All the food taste great and we have no complaints. On our way back, we even bought back IndoMie. It tastes so much better than the Singapore’s version. :)

Malang Mission Trip – Day 2

We wasted no time the next day as we got up early and went to minister in a church in the village. There was a mighty move of God and the presence of God was so strong that many cried as we laid hands on them.

After which, the Pastor invited us to his house to have lunch.

  What Sandy was holding in her hand is a praise and worship album by the church. Small church but yet God can use ordinary people to do extraordinary things!!!

Group photo before we left for the next place.

Next up at Bethany which I was asked to teach the youth leaders on the caring system. After the session was over, we had Q&A which the youths really asked me a lot of questions. Thank God I was able to answer them. :)

Teaching the youth and ministry leaders in Bethany

Last session of the day which Weng Lok preached.

In summary, this is my first time on a mission trip and it was really a great experience. Pastor Ming always tell us in the bible school “If you want to go mission trip, go to those villages and countries that are poor.” Reason is because you get to preach and experience things not found in Singapore.

One thing I learnt from this mission trip is greater spiritual hunger for God. The people there did not have a lot of materials, great speakers and facilities we had in Singapore but yet it was always so easy for them to experience God. The moment they worship God, the presence of God will be so strong. They kneel and weep so easily simply because of the great love for Jesus.

Question I asked myself “Do I encounter God every single day?”

Malang Mission Trip – Day 1

Sorry to those who have been waiting for the update of my mission trip to Malang. SOT is ending in 2 weeks time and I am rushing my assignments like crazy. Also, I have not been able to get of the photos until now. Anyway, will start blogging about it so enjoy! :)

 All excited and ready to go!!!

How can we leave Singapore without eating Popeye first??

 First thing that greeted us onboard the plane is 香港脚 (Hong Kong leg) It really STINKSS!!!!

 Reached Surabaya and the team split into 2 with Delphine leading her team to Probolinggo while I led another to Malang

 Reached Malang at about 3am in the morning. Then we started preparing for next day’s meetings until about 5am. Sermon preparation is hard work and now we truly understand how bless we are to have Pastor preaching to us new sermon every week.

Be back soon with more updates and great reports!

With God, All Things Are Possible!!!

De-Centralised Services

During the de-centralised svc last week, I had the honour to be the hospitality personnel for Hagen Tan (more commonly known as 陈孟奇) Many thought he is a Taiwanese but he is actually a 100% Singaporean based in Taiwan.

Initially, I was very nervous as this was the first time I was asked to interact with a celebrity. But it went off very smoothly as he is very friendly and I managed to take a photo together with him. Hehe.

The de-centralised svc was a great success and my ZS, Edmund shared a great Word with many people saved. It was truly an experience and great to see many of our people rising up to new level.

Birthday Celebration (Part 2)

I was taking my shower when I heard “快点! 快点!”(it was actually Joycelyn’s hurrying the people) and steps of people running under my block. I thought it must be my neighbours at the nearby blocks quarrelling again. Anyway, it has been very common to heard people shouting and screaming in the middle of the night.

After shower, my usual habit is to go to the other room to hang my towel. And when I stepped into the room, suddenly a group of people started singing happy birthday in the dark room. I was taken aback and took a few steps back and hit my back against the door.

So it was some of my cg and zone members. They were all grinning and very happy to see me in a shock. I really was not expecting any more celebrations. Next, they got me to play treasure hunt game at my place. For the first time, I realised it is hard to find things at my house. Haha…

The Plotters

with the VICTIM!

More than the blessings received, this year’s birthday was made more memorable with this surprise! Thank guys for putting in the effort!
