  • Bless Christmas

    Blessed Christmas everyone.

    I'm back from the village and feeling very blessed as well. Sometimes I feel that short term mission trips are more to bless ourselves than to bless others. What can we do in a short week for outreach? I personally believe it is more to show the locals that someone loves them and cares about them... Such trips never fails to humble me. When one sees where the vegetables and rice are grown, one appreciate the sweat-toiling farmers that allow us to pick and choose to our hearts desire in the supermarket. They often make do with the not-so-nice remnants instead. We should cherish our groceries more...

    I visited 4 villages during my short stay, and heard many testimonies, as well as, sob stories. The saddest/happiest has to be meeting 2 girls (aged 5 and 6), who were sold to slavery by their parents and now rescued by the pastor. We prayed to remove the spirit of rejection and dedicated them to the Lord. The lovely girls now are hardly a shadow of their past!

    Xanga photos seems to be cranky today. I've tried long to upload my pics but it ain't working. I guess this will have to wait.

    PS: The check-in luggage was 20.5kg. Praise God, no extra overweight luggage handling fees!

    Meanwhile, I'm holding onto all the prophecies spoken to me before and during the trip. God is good to those who earnestly seek him.

    Happy Birthday Jesus!

  • [Random] Presents for the village kids

    Going to leave in a few hours...

    Praise God that I managed to get all my present items yesterday and the packing went smoothly. Each of the kids are going to get the set below:



    And in total, Santa's bag looks like this:



    Files, pens, pencils, color construction paper, fun scissors, English books, grammar cards, markers, etc. Hope they will like the gifts! Geez... I wonder how heavy the items are. Hopefully the nice counter lady won't charge me for any excess baggage. :)

    Bye folks, I'm off to the villages for 7 days. Pray for good weather, receptive hearts and journey mercies.
