Hey W22 and W45!
Here's just a little post about the trip; its been great and out team had a great time together with Rhema Church, Pastor Dave's church. I became Pastor Kevin's assistant, Multimedia Crew, Sound Crew, Musician, and Tour Leader! (That's the best part but i wasn't that to bring them around lol)The church has really young people there, and 80% of them (entire congregation) gave their hearts to Jesus! We had seafood for every lunch and dinner.. but apart from all of that, here is the surprise!
On Sunday morning, service was about to start at 10:00am. We came out from the guest room and look at the crowd, prepare for service and etc.. In the midst of that, I just looked at the crowd, and then i spotted someone SO familiar I got blurry. Then the guy waved back, and I was shocked and happy to see this man..
Yes! Pang Pan Yuen! I was so surprise to see him there, and we talk abit before the service, he said he drove all the way down from Kampar to attend Pastor Kevin's service..and i was like wow! (i didnt know how far Kampar was from Sitiawan)
So we had service, sermon was great, I tell you, Pastor is one of the best preacher, he had his sermon outline and i also had one to help him put up sermon slides on the projector. He started preaching accordingly, but right after the intro he went off his sermon and preached without his sermon notes and connected with the congregation. Through that Pastor Kevin gave an altar call and many receive Jesus into their hearts, and our beloved Pang also gave his heart! Hallelujah!
I was so happy and God impressed upon my heart to bless him (Pang)! So in my mind i was like "So how much should I give!? RM50? RM100?", but the respond was "No, get something to add value into his life".. and i thought of buying him a book.. so i quickly bought Pastor Pat Mesiti's Book, the millionaire (red book) from Joey (he came also with attributes items). And i went to look for him and bless him.
God is good, Pang is still looking great and jolly! He was so shy during the 3 minutes sharing time, but he still walked out from his comfort zone and went to meet people! Turn to yourself in the mirror and say 'Uh-oh!' ...and i also told Pastor Kevin that he was from our church and he came 1 year ago to study in Kampar. And he is in Pastor Dave's cellgroup! Amazing isn't it!? God is Great!
So we bid goodbyes and best of luck and our team started our journey back.. the first part of the journey was kinda frustrating because the highway is only single lanes, so the ride took a long time. Our Pastor can really speed...don't play play :P so after about an hour.. the road is still a single lane..and we're not even half way through the entire journey yet.. so i was kinda sleepy and tired..but then i saw the signboard and it says "KAMPAR 52KM".. i was shocked! Pang drove down to Rhema Church to attend service in a 1 hour plus plus plus journey! Wow! He must have woke up really early morning to attend the 10AM service.. isn't that great?
Lets all give Pang a big big hand!
God is amazing! It was indeed a fruitful mission trip for me because I met someone dearly to all of us and I'm blessed that he is blessed!
We all still remember and love you Pang :)
Love,
Gordon
