Grace Journey- May 2011 Giving hearts

Thank God for the opportunity to share to SLC members on the LCS projects. Not much about fund raising but more importantly awareness and spiritual support. I am so thankful as the brothers and sisters are so willingly in one way or another to give and fund the community projects, I see their hearts of giving. May God bless the cheerful givers.

All that was lost

This trip we have visited many AIDS villages' families and children in Nepal.All of them are struggling with bare basic needs, suffering from illness and worrying about thier children's future.

Have helped an infected single mother with 5 children to build a small house. His son's health is improving. It is a comfort to see the family now covered with a shelther.








An infected sick lady was lying on her bed with her helpless children standing beside her. A thought suddenly came to me: If we were not helping to build her a house on time, now she could have been very ill and lying on the roadside. It's so important to act upon God's prompting, it's an oppotunity to get our blessings to be able to help in time for people in needs.







Visited a seriously sick man, he can't talk and blind, condemning himself for infected his wife and children , struggling with basic living, hopeless and waiting to die. My heart is broken, there are so many suffering people out there. Can we all wake up from our comfortable living style and give them a cup of cold water?





An AIDS has orphan has composed his own song. The song goes like this:

I wish I get to sleep in the warmth of my mother's arms through the night.
My loving parents have left me, why am I the only one that is still living?
My unfailing efforts of finding my parents have been futile, will I ever find them?
Perhaps I am predestined to be an orphan all my life.

Who would not be touched by what he wrote?

By God's grace, I happen to came to know this song, which is so suitable for the video clip I made for the trip and closely reflecting the AIDS victims and the boy's heartbeat.

All That Was Lost

Why are you crying? Who are you looking for?
This is a graveyard Were you expecting more?

You feel abandoned Like every hope has died
The death of all your dreams This is the price of life

He will claim His lost possession Repossess you pay the cost
He will purchase you for freedom He will find all that was lost

There stands the Stranger There on the flowering slope
The Servant waits for you In a garden of new hope

Do you perceive now? And have your eyes been cleared?
Have they been opened? Have they been washed by tears?

So run and tell all Those who have longed to hear
The wait is over The Risen Savior's here

Grace Journey- Apr 2011 A wave of fresh favor begins

Wonderful experience of God's provision.

A new partner join in for Nepal work, bless the Church and the poor and needy ministry in many ways with business platforms introduced. The Local Church can now be the provider for their own country's ministry and people. This trip is also sponsored by him. I am so thankful. Only God can moves the hearts of people and bring them all together for His purpose.

Grace Journey- Mar 2011 A New Ministry Journey

Stepping into Life Care Society, Singapore for a new ministry journey. Expecting a fresh wave of grace,favors, blessings and devine experiences from my dear Father.

Well, not a full functioning office but I am thankful for what I have. A little bit lonely as i used to work in big and small teams. The kids' singing and laugthers downstair makes the difference . Their adorable faces, lovely greetings and angelic smiles have brighten my days. I am melting straight away whenever they squeeze to embrace me :)

A busy month for setting up, meetings, connections and trying to understand the culture here. Well , considered fruitful.

The month ended with a trip to C crossing the 1st week of April with a training meetings.The 3 yrs SC training program ended here and now baton has officially passed to the locals.

Thank God for blessing the next generations in C.

Grace journey- Feb 2011 TARP, KK

This month I have obtained my rescue diver certification. It was a hard and demanding physical training but thank God i am able to make it!

We dive around Tunku Abdul Rahman Park,KK. Well,mix feeling. Happy diving with fun buddies. Sad part is we 'hunted' whale shark for two days but not able to see a trail of our big friend coming by. Water was extremely cold, visibility was very bad at this season. Despite this, it was still a good dive trip, I was able to get some good sunsets and underwater shots.

Grace Journey Dec 10 A New Page of My Ministry Journey

New Ministry Journey
Amen! 2010 ended with an answered prayer. A big gift from God. For the past few years, I have been praying and waiting for a new and effective platform focusing on ministry for the sick, poor, outcast and needy people. I took the first step as the Spirit led and slowly I see it fulfilling in Father's best timing without any personal effort. He laid out the path smoothly for me. It is a restful process.

I know it's going to be challeging, but certainly He is with me, His presence will go before me and I am rested under His mighty wings. My job is to follow Him. He has granted me the privilege to partner with Him and experience His grace along the journey.

Lord, I need your wisdom and favor.

My three wishes for the new year:
1) Wholeness-divine health.
2) Biz arm for ministry needs.
3) Establish,develop and expand the new ministry with His provisions.

Grace Journey Nov 10 Nepal Vulnerable Souls

Sick widows and orphans
This trip I met countless AIDS widows and orphans,they are seriously sick and without basic necessities. Few of them not even have a home. My heart is broken and tearing when I saw thier situation. Beside the AIDS-Help project,we provided for thier urgent need(S$1000 for 2 homes). I see this ministry is so vital: Preaching good news to the poor and love them with practical faith. I wish all Christian churches realise the importance of loving,giving,caring and helping the least of these brothers and sisters.

Vulnerable souls responded to Jesus
We had a gathering of about 100 AIDS families from two AIDs villages. On that day,gospel has been preached to them,followed by distributing the blankets and clothes and home visitation. They responded to receive Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. My heart is over satisfied for bringing hope and love in Christ to these people and seeing them coming to Jesus.

Opening a new page for AIDS work in Nepal
By the grace of God,we started this new ministry and expected to extend the project to the 3rd AIDS village. May God establishes the work in our hands. His Name will be known in this desolated land, all these people will take refuge under His wing and those who trust in Him will be saved.

Grace Journey Oct 10 A Healing Miracle

Once again, My father responded to my request without one day delay. He shown me a healing miracle in my ministry: I have visited an adopted A infected girl, she told me after since she attended S School, she never falls sick again. She reads bible and sing praises everyday,her body immune system has been boosting day by day and now back to normal healty level! Praise God for this child. I am encouraged once again to trust His perfect healing. I am receiving, seeing and experiencing The Truth day by day.

I met a girl in C who is a tea leaves promoter.Interestingly,I learnt a very important truth and caught a spiritual technique while talking to her:

喝茶要把茶“喝透”了， 茶的好处就对身体完全发挥了功效， 每天就必须喝，不喝就不自在， 似乎少了些什么。

With a listening heart, I understand this:
To walk with God and live in Christ daily, and in order for His truth, promises, power and inheritance being manifested in my life, I have to do the same. There is a process of keep on feeding,receiving, responding,transforming and being perfect captured by His truth.

To show my appreciation, I have bought a box of expensive tea leaves from her. I am so satisfied as my Father talked to me through her.

Grace Journey Sep 10 Thanksgivings

Dear God,

My life is filled with your grace, goodness and mercy. I am grateful for all favors and healings and rested under your wings.

Thank you for acknowledged my act of thanksgiving and love. Tears of Joy fill me. I learnt this from Luke 8:3.

In Christ,I became strong; filled with wisdom, and the grace of God is upon me. Luke 2:40.

Ephesians 1:17-19 Lord, give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that I may know you better.I pray also that the eyes of my heart may be enlightened in order that I may know the hope to which You have called me, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints, and Your incomparably great power for us who believe.

Amen

Manado- Bunaken dives- Sep 10

You can have the world's best wall dives here. Fresh,colourful and blossom corals on the straigth walls hanging in the ocean. Fantastic experience!

Sadly my camera was destroyed by water in the first encouter with Bunaken underwater. I can't take pictures the rest of the dives. Just able to catch the few of them below. Well, still one of my best dive trips, enjoy the wonderful creation of God. Praise the Lord!

Grace Journey Aug 10 Trusting God for Healing

I am thankful for having hope in God.

This month I was diagnosed with two illnesses. For one disease, I have to bear with it, there is nothing can help to improve. Another disease which I have to go for operation. At the same time, I sprain my upper leg and many times causes backache. This is my first time facing health challenges in life.

I have been struggling by human ways to get healed and realised there is always no good and immediate answers.

Finally, I settled my heart with peace and put the specialist medical reports in my bible under a page with healing scriptures. Mathew 8:2-3. Yes, I trust "they are life unto those that find them and health to all their flesh. Prov 4:22"

I prayed to God for divine touch and experience healing by Faith. I believe we Christians should have all rights for spiritual inheritance and blessings in and through Christ. Ephesians 1. I know my daddy will heal me because He loves me.

Lord, thanks for all events happening in my life. By your Grace and in Jesus' name, I am blessed and all my flesh are completely healed.

Bali Quality Rest- Aug 10

Paul and me are blessed to stay at St.Regis Hotel, Bali for free, it was our most luxurious stay in life. We enjoyed the one day tour to Tanah Lot, Volcano and Rice Terrace. For sure, I grabbed the chance to dive in one of the best dive sites in the world, Nusa Peninda Island. Thank God for the quality rest!

Beautiful nature and children of Nepal

Nepal ministry discovery

After listen to Simon's sharing about the AIDS situation in western Nepal, I have a heavy burden for the AIDS orphans and widows. I hope to channel some financial resources to start an AIDS ministry there. In my heart , i believe that i will be in Nepal soon. I kept this for a week's time. One mornng, i felt a strong leading of the Holy Spirit that i have to share this to our ID. Amazingly he was so supportive and facilitated me for a trip there the next day with traveling budget approved. Despite all the last minute urgent arrangements, i finally end up in Nepal the next day.

What an amazing God's timing and arrangement. I know God wanted me to be there.

I am encouraged from the wonderful works that have been established by TWR Nepal, TWR church planting, leaders trainings, prison ministries, women literacy and self help holistic projects and etc...

HIV/ AIDS is incresingly serious in western Nepal, countless orphans and widows are struggling with health and basic livelihood, no one is helping them, they have no hope and future. When i visited the place and the families, my heart was broken.I strongly believe that the Lord wants me to do something from here.

The next day when i was back to Spore, I was able to share the needs to Ramona, the timing is just perfect. Well, I leave the result to God.

Dear Lord, all are arranged by you, I trust that you will provide and make your presence in the desperate land. You want to see the lost souls being saved from their sins,hell, sufferings and hopelessness. May your love being shown in the land and transform their lives. All glory and honor be unto you.

Grace Journey: Jun 10 Restful Increase

I am so thankful as i have been always following Joseph P's message these few years. Indeed, I have experienced God many ways when i rest in Him.How He established and moved things in my life,when i think of my Father God and His grace in my journey of serving Him, the tears of joy filled my heart and stired my spirit. How i wish i experience Him more and more. That's my only desire.

This month there are few things came across my mind:
1)Self support arm + biz as mission are approaching nearer.
2)Writing a book about:
a) How God establishes ,provides, grows and blesses the ministry of His heart.
b) How the orphans and sickly people's testify thier hope in God through His Word and provision.
c) All the divine appoinments,revelations, interventions and miracles of God on His people throughout the years.
d) How's my life changed, the expriences of searching Him and His revelations and answers to all my prayers.

This is to glorify God and encourage His children by counting His grace...

My birthday wish: God's divine intervention and affirmation on the above.

Grace Journey- May 10 : Encouraging dimensions

This month is full of divine experiences in C:

1)Divine Healing:
Xue's (My C worker) lower back bones was dislocated for 2 weeks, She was unable to sleep, eat, stand and walk. It was very painful and hard to bear. God's healing taken place when she picked up my call on 28 May. She prayed to God for mercy and healing as she has to bring me around the villages. Amazingly, after she made that prayer, she was able to get up immediately. We later walked and worked continuously for 3 full days. She didn't feel the pain since then. What a simple faith.

2) Divine Inspirations:
I visited many A children/ orphans/ sickly people these trip. My heart full of thanksgiving, I saw many encouraging dimensions of this ministry:
- Indeed, these people are shedding the tears of thanksgiving and joy! not tears of suffering.
- Hope of salvation and love from God's people keeps them moving forward! Even though they are going through sufferings, these people never complain. In turn, they give thanks and put their hope in God. They often say: If i do not have God, I would have died long ago. If i am not a believer, who is willing to come to see me and care for me?
-Many of them experienced God's healing! After they received help & care from the Church, they are encouraged. They felt love and see hope, their spirit are lifted up, the fear of death and uncertainty faded away, their hearts are filled with joy and hence their bodes are strengthen physically. " A cheerful heart is good medicine", this is natural healing.

3) Divine protection
I was caught by the Police, but thank God nothing bad happen. It did not affect my next part of the trip. I strongly believe, If we do not panic and trust Him that He will protect us all the time, the Spirit will teach us how to respond. What is there to afraid? If He is for us, who is dare to against us?

4) Divine confirmation
This trip I have memorized 2 sriptures, John 8:12 (light of the world)and Acts 3:6( all i have, Jesus, i give to you). I was trying to fill myself with His Word and pray for people by declaring them. I even tought the sunday school children to sing these two scripture songs. One week later in SL training, Vijay and Utomo shared the same verses. My heart was so encouraged and satisfied by this. God knows me well and He is so closed to me, He bother to affirm me all the time.

My beloved Father God, I am so satisfied by you!

Redang- May 10

I had a good rest in Redang. I treasure spending time with my Father in His beautiful creation. Enjoying the great ocean and its fascinating underwater lives is an effective therapy for me.

Psalm 69: 34 Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them.

Grace Journey- Apr 10 Highlights of Jordan

There are few things i must say about Jordan,The Holy Land.
1)This is the most peaceful and present staying land that i have ever been.
2)The culture and nature heritage is extremely rich.
3)The children and people are all time polite,friendly and helpful. The police are forever ready to help and guide. They are sons of peace.
4)Human living world should be like this, kind and wiling to walk extra miles for others. Live life simple and care free.
5)Jordanians are the good Samaritans.I guess all of them should be in heaven based on my impression.:)

Grace Journey- Mar 10 Extra favor from God

God establishes and fulfill His work. He does all things, we just rest and enjoy His grace!

Again, by another divine appointment, He led Grace Phresbytarian Church in Batu Pahat to support the A ministry in C. I see the compassionate heart of Christ in them. I am so honored to share God's ministry to these dearest brothers and sisters and allow them to have a chance to be blessed through giving. By seeing them responding fast to the needs, I am deeply encouraged and motivated.

Revenue Department audit in Afghan was short and Z's licence renewal is just on time. There were many comments like:
1) No company can "escape" to pay "tax" in this exercise.
2) It's will be a miracle if the approval can be done in such a short time.

But in God's hand, all things are possible. Despite all other companies have to pay "tax" and struggled for months in the "negotiation", Z don't have to. This is because of His divine intervention and He moved the hearts of the officials.

We surely needs His protection and favor along the journey in Afghan.

Another experiencing God trip to Afghan

Grace Journey- Feb 10 Asia 7 wonders

This month i was able to go to one of the Asia 7 wonders Taroko Geoge in Hua Lian, Taiwan. It was a pleasant trip. Wonderful creation of God!
