One Life, One Purpose.
Being in the Mission Team to Malaysia had been a different experience. This trip is different from the other mission trips i have been to. The focus of the trip is to bring ministry to the people through a drama production called Prodigal. In this production, I took on the role of the runaway daughter who spent her life chasing after material gains, pleasures of the world, partying her life away only to realise that she will be betrayed, forsaken by her so-called friends. Since college days, i have not been active in acting and performing. So to have to get into role and on top of that sing, it wasn't easy for me. She is called Britney in the production. I had to embrace the role of Britney and understand her way, thinking..and sing the lyrics with emotions such as rejection, dissappointment, failure..It was certainly a challenge. But i want to thank God for the entire team for the support and encouragement throughout the trip in enabling to carry out what i did..and definitely Pastor Dom and Pastor Jan!
I was truly impacted by the heart of every person on the team-the heart of service and dedication to the cause made me understand the imptance of a team ministry-No man is an island. Through the times of prayer for the church and seeing how God moves amongst his people, moved me to tears. the power of God and the immerse love of God to his creation. On Sunday morning, as Pastor Dom preached, couldn't help but cried because of the great love of God to us. He shared about how it is often hard to love the people whom has hurt us the most and in my case, i could identify with PDom when he shared on how he found it hard to love his mother. In the same way, i had that within me too. I am still learning and growing in it but yes God has to transform me first before i could bring forth the love from me to the ones ard me and God chooses to use us to be his love extension to the people. Through our lives, people will see the love of the Father..It is indeed a journey for me in my life..I know that God is reminding of that once again..
One life, One purpose-to love him for he first loved me and to love the people ard me with the love of the father.
