Today, both Kuria and David shared about their experiences joining the OM ministry in Laos. This served as an educational lesson on the country of Laos, their people, culture and who can forget, their food. It also gives us an understanding that although we might not be rich, there's always someone who is poorer. And also, this mission trip enhanced David's spiritual walk.
OK, our "wakil" from Kuala Terengganu attended a few days training in Malaysia before leaving the country. They were joined by people of many nationalities. Both Caucasians and Asians.
Now onto the mission, the mission they undertook wasn't a walk in the park. No McDonalds, no TV, no air-conditioned rooms and no roti canai. Laos is a very poor country that is pillaged with poverty. But through the pictures, I can see that Laos is a beautiful country. Lush green canopy forests, towering waterfalls, and those old fashioned temples built without using nails but relying only on hinges.
Our friends went to several villages to preach the gospel, a risky business because the government hates people like them. Aren't they always? Anyway, despite the overwhelming language barrier, our boys did very well I should say. Doing The Lord's entrusted task and that is to "Preach To All Nations".
At the end, David described this mission trip as the thing that saved his faith. He described his faith to have slumped from great heights during his time away from home. David, you did good pal. The Lord will expect great things from you.
