haha..this time,i'm back from the philippines mission trip.wonderful time..experiencing more of God,more zealous,more passionate for Him now.Here's a brief description of wat we did,the 1st two days,we had evangelistic outreaches at two different villages.it was an eye opener!!
on the first day,helu gave his testimony,we did a skit,sang a song and den uncle william preached.den it was time for altar call.after the salvation altar call,it was time for the healing part.initially,i was rather daoubtful of my faith ,like wat if God didn't wanna answer my prayers.so it tot me to pray God's will and i remembered the verse my dad was sharin with my bro and i weeks before the mission trip,
Luke 10:19-20,19I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
with this verse,i prayed in faith...asking for not my will but God's will to be done.Lo and behold,ther first lady i prayed for,was also the first lady who gave a testimony!!Praise God!!!we are nv too young to pray for the sick.we are all given this authority when we believe in God.
ooh...den on monday,we attended a wedding there.very interesting man..the way it's done.unlike our culture.wanna hear more??ask me!!haha...dunno how to type it out.and we saw like 4 funeral processions.hahaha...and we celebrated a birthday there.interesting isn't it??
on monday,after the wedding,we brought the children out.u cld see their faces.all light up with joy..excitement.they really are happy when they get to go out,have a good meal...and get some love from us.yup.they're abandoned,orphans and they just enjoy the lil hugs and attn u shower on em.
on tuesday,pastor william had to conduct a pastors' training,so while waiting for him,all of us sat in the tricycle and went to the market.ooh...stuff there are cheap..but nothing much to buy cos they dun really suit us.it's the market afterall.after touring the market,we went to play billiard.yeah..it costs only 7pesos per game.so why not?since singapore is so costly.(fyi,S$1 = 32.75 pesos)yup..after lunch,we brought some of the youthes out.went to some late president's residential.wah!!!it's huge i shld say!!and the rooms..are all filled with mirror!!gee..i wonder why.haha...and after tt...we went to have dinner.it was great fellowship.yupyup...
