chin up

merry christmas.
got so much things to update, dunno where to start from but yep i'm back from youth camp and khon kaen!

great people great food great reminders great encounters great love experienced
from simple events and things.


Some quotes/reminders here & there..
"we are little but we have great visions for the people here"--Aunty WK
"don't ask how we can gain access to the prisons,rehab,slums... God opens the way"
--Aunty WK
"don't pray that programs will run smoothly but rather our faith will be strengthen through all these"--Jere & Zing
"be ready for unexpected situations. what if pauline or jeremiah is not here..." --Jun
"God isn't for efficiency like how singaporeans pride themselves on but efficacy"--Jere
"they are just like normal kids who yearn for love" --Aussie refering to the HIV-positive kids
"I will be obedient to God"-- written by Evan the missionary at the back of his bible in his secondary school days

poor memory.. cannot remember exactly what they said but roughly the gist is there. I probably forgotten alot more which i wanted to add in as precious reminders i want to hold on to...

Not to forget those images..

-the airplane view of agriculture fields (size of legos) which reminds me of God's faithfulness & his love for so many people from other ends of the earth which i do not know of and reminds me of Pastor Glen's sermon of the macro-ness of his creation and micro-ness of us.
-slums which i didn't realize are slums. i seriously thought they are just shelters
-the little gal from slum who hold on to the NERDS sweet which i pour out in her dirty palm tightly,eating only one at a time,savouring it slowly.
-the beautiful & big field with cow dung embedded here and there(the harvest are plenty but the workers are few)
-the australian who give the HIV positive kid a great big nice HUG, one of the warmest hug i've seen (not the patronising kind)
-those rough, uncouth and tatooed prisoners who stood up to receive Christ readily
-thais youth christians praying for us which sounds like tongue. Don't understand them but could clearly felt the Holy Spirit as they prayed as we serve the same God
-those smiles, sawadee :)

i can forget anything but not God's faithfulness!
