Many bros and sis from NYC, NUS and YG arrived at the airport very early to bless the Team with our prayers and wishes. A few pple (I shall not mention names.. hee..) din go home but stayed at airport after the anniversary celebration. Despite of the lack of sleep, everyone was so excited. Taking pictures after pictures.. hmm..for a moment, I felt as if the anniversary celebration the night before had not ended! ! LOL!
I am touched by the Team's desire to want to live out the Great Commission in their lives. Reminded me of the vision of our congregation to build credible and courageous young adults! The amount of work they have to do at Cambodian and the preparation was really a massive project. Numerous workshops (at least 6-10), teachings and sharings as well as conducting an outreach service to about 100 youths. All these to be conducted in just 6 days. (seems like a mini church camp to me but it's by a team of just 6 pple) Sounds crazy. Yeah for the past few weeks, they really had a tough time preparing for it, at the same time to oversee the pastoral needs in their respective groups. Many have been stretched and fallen sick. However God blessed them and they managed to complete most of their preparation on time.
In case you have not known, the team has set up a blog (http://for-god-so-loved-cambodians.blogspot.com/) to share with us all their experiences and reflections first hand while they are on the missions ground. There are updates of prayer requests by them on the blog as well. Please visit the site and keep them in your prayers. May the spirit of God empower and protect them. Through them, may God's love touch the Cambodian youths and changed their lives.
God bless the Team (Joyce, Weiling, Serene, Calyn, Timothy and Guan Rui) and Cambodia!
