So what did we do there? The King in the picture is Kheng Yew our assistant team leader. He was acting as King Herod. We did a Christmas play for the people there. We had two nights of "evangelistic" meetings. We went around from house to house to talk to people. Some of us taught and played with the children, singing Christian BM songs and teaching them about Jesus. Others of us bonded with the teenagers. The teenage girls are very eager to learn keyboard and guitars. Builidng relationships was the main purpose of our trip.
Of course, our mission trip was not perfect. Our van had major problems. There were times of rubbing against each other, as we had to live, eat, sleep together. A lot of patience and grace was needed among everyone. Learnt to eat anything, bath in cold water in the morning (mandi kampung), chase chickens out of the church, walk in hot sun. Translated in broken malay for Kheng Yew. Being flexible to adapt to situations and just letting go of control, letting God take control.
