Hongkong Missionaries.

Like I've said before, I get giddy whenever I talk to missionaries...and yesterday was another giddy-sunday for me.

Ate Ambs and I attended the New Member's Fellowship with Pastor Brent and Sis. Kim. We came in late because we had a signup booth for YA ministry at the lobby and we invited (more like kidnapped) those hard to find (and hard to invite) YA members of the church.

Since we were late, we sat with the 'white men'...or the foreigners in the church. I only knew Bro. Keith and his wife since we worked together during Kuya Bry's wedding. He introduced us to the two other ladies sitting with us.

They were Sis. Jacelyn and Sis. Cindy...the two missionaries from hongkong. Amazing.

Why amazing?

Actually, Ptr. Brent had been announcing them and their work in hongkong. They're here to collect contacts in Hongkong. And ever since I've heard Pastor Brent's announcement, I wanted to approach them and have a chitchat...I don't know anyone in hongkong, but I want to talk to them and ask them about missions.

But of course, my shyness (yeah right!) kept me from approaching them...

So I was REALLY surprised when I met them yesterday. They were really pleasant and nice. They started asking questions to us. (since, we were new members..) We shared how we were invited to Faith by friends and how we're enjoying the fellowship and the church in general.

Then, it was my time to ask questions...

I asked them about hongkong and how they will start the work there. I was all ears to every word they were saying.

It's like, listening to a friend who's re-telling a really good love story.

After their stories, I told them I also want to be a missionary, in Mongolia.

I saw their eyes widened...like seeing someone for the first time, or learning that the person infront of them was a royalty..haha.

They were really happy about it. They told me to share it to Ptr. Brent so he can pray with me. (And that made my heart leap and my stomach turn into knot...in excitement and nervousness.)

I believe that God orchestrates things and events in my life. And yesterday was not an exemption. I met Sis. jacelyna nd Sis. Cindy for areason. I may not know it now, but in time God will make me understand why I sat on that table with those two pleasant ladies.=)

Second Step.

Last Dec 04, i blogged about Taking the First Step. My first step in bringing the gospel to my office.

And last wednesday, I took the second step.

A few days before Christmas I was riding the MRT with the Ms. I., I was telling her that I was meeting my church friends to play badminton. That started our conversation about how she misses bible studies and fellowships. She was also a christian and a tambourine dancer. But lately, because of busy schedule at work and also after leaving to her home church to joining her husband at another church, somehow her zest for fellowship declined.

I knew it was the signal I was waiting from God.

I asked her immediately if she wanted to form a bible study in the office. She said yes! (With excited tone and clapping hands). Then she asked if I could lead the group since she's not really in the good shape to lead.

Of course, the bibo kid that I was, I said YES. =)

Then we had a covenant to pray about it during the christmas break.

I took it in my heart to pray...and even fast for it. I knew that it was God's hand moving to orchestrate everything...it was perfect...the timing, the people involved, everything!

I was humbled by the fact that God was honoring my desire to bring the gospel to the lost. I wanted to share it to Mongolia, but God in His wisdom, knew that I still need preparation and equipping...so for my first course, bible study 101 in the market place.

After almost a month...

The Bible Study finally started. Ate S., Ms. I and me gathered during lunch break. I was nervous. Very nervous. I don't know them personally. Ate S. is a new christian with a very strong personality. I was afraid I'll say something that will offend her or something to that effect.

I shared matthew 6:33. It was about giving our worries to the Lord. I was amazed how they responded. Ate S. said that the Word was very timely, her husband was diagnosed with ulcer and she was ver worried about him. She felt comforted with the Word. Also, Ms. I, shared her worries...she actually broke into tears while sharing. She's been praying for a long time for a child. She said that sometimes she feels that she's worrying too much instead of trusting God.
I also shared my worries. I told them that I'm worried to be left alone in the country if ever my parents migrate to Canada.

Then afterwards, we encouraged one another that we just have to TRUST God, to give our burdens to Him and to believe that He's on the move...He's never late, always on time.

Before we ended, Ate S, was very excited to share her prayer concerns. I was surprised, she has ALOT of prayer requests! Then Ms. I, told me to pray for our officemate who needs healing. One of our production staff was hit by a motorcycle while riding at the back of a tricycle. So, we closed the bible study with a very long prayer time.

Afterwards, I went back to the R&D lab teary-eyed...

I felt an overwhelming spring of joy in my heart. My heart was screaming... We made it God! One big move in claiming this land!=) This is just the start of something wonderful...something great..something glorious!

I praise the Lord for His grace that enabled me to lead. I praise the Lord for His love that's all over me... I can't help but share it to those people who haven't known Christ.

It's time to take possession of the Land. March On. Break the Walls. Sound the trumpet!

Let it be Known that Jesus is Lord!
