not just excitement but E-X-C-I-T-E-M-E-N-T
i am excited not just about the camp... but the group that's going also!!!
the group is pretty diversified! we got pastor YanFang, ellson & qping from uni, ritchie from NS, shuling & liping from poly and Jo-N from TWAM. [btw yan fang => jasmine]
Praise the Lord for the experience... Thai camp is indeed very spirit filled and the warmth of the thai bros and sis simply amazes me...
MISSION SUNDAY is the segment which i was looking forward to. i want to see what God will speak to me through pastor PN's preaching. it was fantastic! i felt my heart stirring and burden increased for the lost. i had came to thailand for confirmation about my mission heartbeat for the 3rd world countries. i had to have genuine burden for mission because mission is pain staking, diffcult and even dangerous and without genuine burden, it is impossible to press on when situations arises. i was struck by pastor PN's statement, "if you do not have burden, make a decision, then pray for burden." immediately, i realised that everyone SHOULD have burden for mission... be it go-er or send-er.... as i prayed, my heart pumped faster and faster... it wasnt fear or anxiety... in fact, i felt peaceful... it was pumping with excitement! i just responded during the altar call and got up the stage...
today i went to for my 2nd round interview at gericke and i got the job! praise the Lord! this job allows me to travel to countries in the asia pacific region... i eagerly await to see how this may help in mission...
i responded... what about you?
