I had an amazing time in Malaysia and really saw God's grace, love and His heart for people. We were very fortunate to spend this last 3 days in Clang, Malaysia and work with the Immigrant ministry. We met amazing people and saw what makes God God and man man! We worked with pastors and people from 7 different countries and also learned what they do with there ministries to help all these immigrants. The countries are India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, Myammar, Vietnam and Malaysia. All these immigrants mostly fled from there country because of persecution and mostly poverty. There are churches for every country where the immigrants can experience church in there own lanuage and also in there own cultural way. Alot of the immigrants become Christians when they come to these churches. From there they have alot of opportunities where they can help and take part in the ministry like Bible school or help people to reach the church by being a driver etc. You see, my thought of God's awesomeness was stimulated by seeing how He takes people out of their countries, leed them to another country, let them hear the Gospel there, safe them and take them back to make an difference in there own country. That is amazing, and it is this that amazed me this week. You see, man can do anything to fight the Gospel, but God will always make a plan that people can here the truth.
I was fortunate to went to the Myammar-church and their sell-group where I preached and gave my testimony. I felt so humble and fortunate to pray and share the Word with people who gets persecuted for their believes, and if I see their joy and love it stunds me. Ps. Liam is an amazing servant of God and I learned alot just to look at how he do things. I gave them a Word of hope for their difficult situations. 2 Tess. 2:13-17 and Zach. 4:6. God's last message from me to them was that they must be willing to stand up and to live a life in fullness for Him and then He'll do the rest. Nothing can stand in the way of God's Kingdom purpose. Please pray for these people who work very hard and still get rejected sometimes in Malaysia and also in their own country! Pray for wisdom and strenght and willingness to serve God. Pray for Ps. Liams's Ministry that God will expand it and bless it that he can inspire many more Myammarians. Pray for his family to support him and for him to lead them and the church with outhority in Christ!
On Sunday we played a cricket game against the Pakistanis. We did beter than I expected we would've done. Our team had 6 guys with Francios that couldn't bat because of his eyes and 5 gals. They batted first and made 189/7. They had an pakistani International player in there team so I think we did quit well.& nbsp; It was very warm and the sun burned us all brutally. At one stage while we were fielding I prayed that it must get cloudy and it actually happend for a small while. In the 2nd over I dived to safe a 4 without seeing a sement-strip. I slided over the strip and I was left with some pritty ugly looking scars on my left leg. But that is part of being wild for God as a man so I will take it like a man. Please pray that I won't get infections or anything. Hennie and I opend the batting and started quit good. Hennie lost his wicket after making some runs but I tried my best to stay in and chase the target. Christo came in and also looked good but he lost his wicket with a silly shot. I lost my wicket on 43 just after lunch. We made a 138/10. I must say, the gals gave their best, and Elsabe smacked a 4 and a 6. They even stopped the game to take pictures with her, amazing! It was a fun game and the Pakistanis gave us everything they got.
nWell, now I'm sitting in Japan waiting for our flight to Delhi, India. The tough part of the Global Challenge i think is starting now. I'm tired today and I think I may have jetlag. We flew on JAL just now for 6 hour. Pray for strenght for me and the team to!
I'll wright again from India!
Blessings!
Phil
