Back, Alive, Kicking

San Bai Nu(hello), yes yes as some of you already know, we are back in Singapore. Home Sweet Home. We were actually supposed to be back on the 6th of april but we reached only yesterday(8th) so we had another 2 days to enjoy each others fellowship and also the mongolian's company. Well, as you all know, things happen when you least expect them to, so i think in a sense we all learnt an important lesson from this experience and that is that we should not take things for granted and always check and confirm things. Yup.

Look at our "happy" faces. This photo was taken on the day that we left for Singapore at the Mongolian International Airport. Well to be honest, most, if not all of us had this reluctance in our hearts that cry out: "NO..... I don't want to leave.....NO!!!!". Yup you can kind of guess how much we loved Mongolia and its people. Sorry Singapore. HAHA

On the last week of our trip, we met a street kid (a kid that lives on the streets and has no family in case some of you don't know). We actually met this street kid once in the restaurant and we realised that he was actually alone living in the streets so we decided to give him a treat. We met up with him again just to see how we can help him. And we realised that he actually has a family but he ran away from home due to some reasons that he didn't really tell us. All he told us was that his Mum is very fierce. But anyway we decided to bring him along with us to the countryside since we were leaving the next day and then bring him home and talk to the parents regarding him. So we did.

But never did we realised, the little angel that we picked up actually turned into a little stinger flying around us, buzzing and..... Well u all kind of know what happened. But though he was really quite a naughty boy, he had a really kind heart, as in he still cared for us, always asking us to go down for meals, giving us snacks to eat(though we were the ones who bought them) and even asked us if we slept well and stuff like that. Yup but i know that most importantly, God loves this boy and he has used us to plant the seed of his love in his heart. One day, in God's time, he will make it grow, bloom and use him to bless many around him. Who knows? He might even become the next president of Mongolia.

Yup, anyway we are all back to singapore, back to reality and back to our normal routines. As much as we hate to, we have to get back to our ministry, work, family, friends and routines. God will be the one to guide them and bless them.

Prayer pointers:

1) Pray for Mongolia CCC that God will Provide more staff to their ministry

2) " " " " that new batch of students leaders will rise up and be willing and courageous to take up the role that God has appointed them to do.

3) " " our team as we get rest and adjust back to our lifes, that we will still be focused on God and continue to be receptive to the spirit.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

We are all called to God's purpose and plan, but are you going to obey him?

Hello all, thank you for journeying with us thus far. The Lord has indeed bless us much throughout this time.

1. Last Saturday we went to the suburbs to do some social work. We were there to distribute food to the poor, as well as to share the gospel.

It was really an eye-opener to many of us to see how poor the living conditions were. People stay in gers that are merely as big as it can house a family. No toilets, no water...just a space to stay in. Some families are more fortunate to own a television, while others are not so.

People's lives are very simple. They don't really seek to have luxurious lives, but are just happy to have food to last them day by day. Many of them could only afford to have one meal per day. Children are happy to just throw stones and chase one another outside the gers.

Many of them are also very open to the gospel. The simple faith they exhibited when they said "yes" to accepting Jesus into their lives was indeed encouraging to us.

2. We also had a couple of evangelistic events where we invited our contacts. Over this period, there is a total of 35 students who prayed to receive Christ.

Dear supporters, as much as we rejoice in the great harvest we reaped, we urge that you will be praying for more labourers in Mongolia. There are not many Christian movements in the suburbs especially, so we are also not certain what would become of those who have received Christ last Saturday. Please pray for the protection of the seeds that are planted. Please pray Matthew 13:4-8...that God will bless each of those seeds.

As well as for those 35 students who received Jesus, that God will raise up labourers to do follow-up with them. Please pray together with us for the local ministry here.

"He told them, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.'" (Luke 10:2)
