Didn't sleep much. Very tired. praise god for roties and coffee. . .
God showed me how much I find joy and comfort in his blessings. and not so much in him.
How much I seek them when I pray. I dont move beyond to him in my prayer life. I pray into my situation. Which is dangerous. . .
Very difficult day. . .just sat at the station the whole day. Being under trail im my thoughts. Waiting for the 19h00 train to Kluang.
Arrived 21h00 at kluang station.
Prayed for god to lead us.
We decided to walk down the main street and saw a Presbyterian Chinese church. They were still open. After a communication struggle they told us we cannot stay on the premises.
Just as we decided to move on. One of the youth pastors arrived and said we can stay at one of their teaching premises. We told them our story and they asked if we can stay until Tuesday to help with their youth ministry. Ironically they were sharing to the youth about mission work saterday and wanted us to stay and share. Bought us snacks and food. Praise Jesus his timing is perfect. . .

Day 6: 11 September

What an amazing night. Slept so well
Had an amazing local breakfast and coffee at the railway station with Samuel.

Got to minister to some Chinese boys that's not Christian.

Had pork intestines for lunch

Had a tour of the whole town and visited some churches and orphanages. Started painting a wall for them at church.

Its so funny how I was tired and it was almost as if the day was an effort for me. Were as the previous days, we didn't do more than talk to people. Its shows how corrupted our hearts is without the holy spirit. When I knew I had a place to stay and food. My true colours came out. . .Praise God that I am righteous through what he did and not on my own strength. . .

Lord all this blessing??

Day 10: 15 September

So luke 10 is over. . .
They took us to an Hong Kong restaurant this morning.
The church blessed us with an donation.
What is the purpose of this?
JESUS? We go on luke 10 to be a blessing to people.
No matter what we do we couldn't bless them more.
I realised in this time. . .
1. I really can do nothing out of my
own strength.
2. Always put your relationship with
Jesus first. Wait apon the spirit of
Jesus. Then act, do , pray, bless. . .
3. No matter what I do. I will never be
able to take care of myself as well as
the king of the universe can. He
provides in abundance.

I pray Collosians 2.20 and John 17. 21 over the church of Kluang

I cannot thank the Herold Presbyterian Church enough. Not only for all the blessings. But also teaching me on unconditional love.

Untill we meet again. . .

Our Luke 10

1. Went through time of waiting and rest.
2. Time of hardship.
3. Time of Ministry and blessing.

PRIASE THE LORD for everything he taught us and his protection over all the teams. Everyone had an amazing experience.
