mission trip

Jac, Eugene, Robert, myself and MingHan( from Hope Melbourne).. We went to Ubon Ratchathani for a short term mission trip right after Thai church camp..guess what..the journey to Ubon is about five hours thirty minutes.. Pastor Sumet came and picked us up from the bus terminal to Hope Ubon church.. The first impression of Pastor Sumet was He is a very friendly and humble man. Pastor welcomed us with his wife cooking.. so nice of them.. hee.. after dinner, jac and I staying in a room while the brothers the other room..
The room was not in good condition in a way like.. spider webs all over, arrr... saw some insect lying somewhere in the room.. still ok la actually.. not much of problem lo hee.. guess what i noticed.. jac can be in deep sleep too.. but her deep sleep never last long.. why i say so cos she woke me up in the middle of the night to help her kills the bug.. haiii...

next day morning.. i've got no choice but to clean up the spider webs.. so that i will have a peaceful sleep.. hee..

Pastor Sumet bring us out for breakfast and told us the itinery for that day.. he is so cute.. scared that we don't understand him.. he then bring us to a sister's office to help him translate the itinery.. we went to another sister's house to share with her son.. that was great.. Pastor also bring us to a funeral.. At night, we had caregroup with the size of a unit.. bout 40 members.. Pastor Sumet wanted us to sing a special song for them.. and Robert and Minghan shared their testimony..

next day on 4th May, it was a fantastic experience.. we went to Chongmek(Laos border).. there is a church there a size of 20 members..The church over there was not in good good condition.. it was like only a shelter with no washroom amenities.. hee.. then we went to Hope Srisaket.. Over there we visited JS school and Thai American school.. which was run by house of mercy foundation.. so nice right.. they'll use the profit from the school to fund the orphanages in thai..when we were back to church, i had to prepare a testimony for sunday service.. as they need it on saturday..

on 5th may, Pastor Sumet brought us to Mek euwe's place.. over there we had a full body massage.. and guess what i met up with Aon which she is now my friend.. hee.. her sheep was fantastic.. she composed a birthday song for a brother in church.. really love that song.. i even recorded it in my handphone.. and i got Aon to translate the song as well.. very meaningful..
In the afternoon it was my turn to take charge of the evax.. It was raining heavily.. we prayed for the rain to stop within 5 minutes and it stop.. so powerful hor.. but when we reach the park.. it started raining heavily again.. but we manage to share to the people around us under the shelter.. initially eugene and translator approached a couple and share the bridge diagram, me and the rest singing praise songs.. and here goes jac and the other Thai translator.. they shared bout the good news as well to an old lady.. jac called me in as the old lady complaining that she felt numbness and pain while walking.. and i assess her knee condition.. and we prayed for her.. she says the sinners prayer before we prayed for her.. hee.. we all was so happy for her.. Later in the evening, our dinner was thai steamboat.. we feasting there man.. hee.. after that we went to the local mall .. when we reach the church, the worship team was having their practice.. and they invited me to jooin their practice as well .. i was having fun there teaching them the action of some of the praise songs..

It was sunday.. our last day in hope ubon.. we woke up earlier that day so that we can join their early prayer meet.. there are three services on sunday and we attended the 1st and 2nd service.. i had to share my testimony in first service.. as usual.. i got stage fright.. haha.. but i still manage to finish sharing the testimony i prepared earlier in.. hee.. Then jac and eugene shared theirs in 2nd service.. we prepared a gift (photo frame with our nice inside... hee...) to pastor Sumet.. After second service, we were assigned to different group to share bout our experience .. and i was assigned to the youth group.. i introduced myself to the group and we played 'blow win blow' and a birthday celebration with one of the brother there and we sang the song that was composed by peekay.. (the song i mention earlier on).. and we end the session by praying for them..Really miss them man..
