IM FINALLY BACK !

people, i tell you. i've wished that i could stay longer ! and i didn't want to come back ! how great it is to just put everything down and dedicate your whole life to serve God and his people, or to just spread his word out to the nations !

so, heres a summary of the 10 impacting days in thailand :)

BACKGROUND :
- team of 9 people
- all first timers except leader

okie it wasn't easy for me to go on this trip either....
had to seek approval, things were shaky.

KHON KAEN :
- our first ministry at the school wasn't really powerful. there were LOTS LOTS LOTS of distraction. basically the kids didn't focus. and also we didn't know that we need to pray ! haha i know it sounds dumb that we forgot to use this most powerful weapon. took this as a lesson.

- first night rally : again LOTS of distractions. at the very moment of altar call. people fell from bicycle. people pass away. basically the situation was very chaotic and alot of people were distracted. BUT our God came to the rescue =)

when pastor begin to call onto people for healing, people started to step out. and we began to lay hands and pray for people. and INDEED, many were healed. and received Christ. my team and pastor Ong together went to the house of a boy whom we healed. His grandmother had kidney problems, has osteoperosis
and cant walk without aid. AFTER praying, she regained walking ability ! and the pain was gone. she began to smile and tears rolled down her cheeks, that warmed my heart! greatly. God is AWESOME.

from that very day, we learnt very valuable lessons and picked up the momentum for battle. taking initiatives, and to pray at all times.

Refugee CAMP :

BACKGROUND :
- consists of laos Mhong , and thai Mhong tribe people
- at war
- need of a saviour
- need of a place that gives them sense of belonging

when we were Praise and Worshiping on the bus, as i peered out the windows. i began to realise that they really need God. and really want to reach out and touch their lives. Tears rolled.

when we were giving out blankets and food, there was a great multitude !
BUT as i became panicky and when the slightest bit of fear came in, i didn't forget to pray, and God brought to my memory of the verse ade shared in the morning.

2 Chronicles 20:15
He said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

Chronicles 20:17:
But you will not even need to fight. Take your positions; then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory. He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you!”

Chronicles 20:20:
Early the next morning the army of Judah went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. On the way Jehoshaphat stopped and said, “Listen to me, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be able to stand firm. Believe in his prophets, and you will succeed.”

yes, she prayed to God and this was what God showed her and she shared. INDEED, God brought in the multitude. BUT as he said :" Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. " and yes, the battle is not ours BUT God's. all we have to do is to stand firm, take our positions, stand still and watch God's victory ! :D indeed and indeed it came true. and in the midst, God even sent someone to our aid : the thai military. and wherever the people became aggresive, they would take control.

night rally was very powerful ! Thousands came, almost all received Christ. many was healed. and indeed, God answers and provides, the people found their saviour : God. and they found the kingdom of whom they belonged to : God's.

MUCH MORE TO BE SHARED !
this is only part of it. will be sharing more on the next post. :D
