Raub Mission Trip
Raub Mission Trip
I was thinking to go or not to go and the big hindrance will be the leave approval from the boss. Also, I am the only one from my cell.
I missed the first briefing and when I come to the second briefing, was told just go there and experience GOD, which I desired the most. Therefore, I decided MUST GO.
This trip is really an eye opener. I want it to be the first trip of the many trips to come.
Things I learned:
Simplicity is good. - The simple lifestyle over there challenge me that I can live a simple life, I just need water and food.
People impact people – From this trip, I get to know more about my brothers and sisters.
Through spending time together, I realize they are awesome and really encouraged by them. – Also the co-workers of GTTP, very much appreciate their superb hospitality and being driver for all of us.
Dirty your hand - At the very last day and was going home soon, and I have not really experience God much. We have our communion in that morning; a picture of Jesus’s nail-pierced hand comes into my mind. It is like I complaint to Jesus: God, why I am here, and get myself dirty in this place, but HE did not reply. HE strength out HIS hand to touch me, and I saw his nail-pierced hand, then I feel so ashamed, I can only reply to HIM, saying: I am sorry…..
More Love – I need to learn to love the OA as GOD loves them. GOD is every one’s GOD.
Complaint no more – There were a sharing section before we went off, and many seems agreed that we should not complaint so much about our prosperous life compare to the OA. I was amen to it too.
However, when we on our journey back, as we reached the highway, the air con is out of function. All of my passengers suffered, even worse, there were traffic jam. I was starting wanted to complaint (in my heart) – but – another voice in my saying: Heh! Do you still remember what had shared just now? No complaints.
It is like: IF I were to start complaint about the heat, the traffic; this whole trip is WASTED, and I have not changed, I am still the same person as before. I can’t even sustain the lesson learned from these three long days for just 2hours immediately after the camp.
