Awesome is an understatement

Day 3 (night) - 23 MAY 09

Nothing warmed our hearts more on day 3 than seeing the crowd rendering heartfelt praises during the worship led by Alvin and Mark during the evangelistic outreach event.

The presence of God was so palpable that some wept while others fell to their knees in awe of our AWESOME God. Worship is more than mere songs and music. It is the surrender of our hearts. I think God saw our worship and honoured it with His presence.

After the worship, Sarah shared her testimony and told of the restoring power of God’s love. Many were touched by her compelling message and gave their lives to Jesus. There were 2 altar calls that night. The first was for those who wanted to receive Christ and also for Christians who wanted to return to their first love. The second alter call was for healing. Contrary to the Day 1, the team stepped out without hesitation and enthusiastically prayed for the individuals. We were so hungry to pray for the people and Daniel even found someone to take his place at the keyboard just so he could pray too.

Clarence who claimed since Day 1 that it was too uncomfortable for him to pray for strangers died to self and went forth to pray for 4. To say that the ministry time was AWESOME is an understatement. It was more than amazing! All of us left the church that night with surpassing joy and the awareness of the transformation that was taking place in our lives.

Day 4 - 24 MAY 09

Day 4 started off with church service in the morning. Sarah’s sermon urged us to listen and obey and bear fruits that will last. Service ended with a fire tunnel in which we, the ministry team for Sarah, were the tunnel. The next hour saw us fervently laying hands and prophesying over every one that entered the tunnel. It was very encouraging to see the team relentlessly praying for others despite the fatigue and lack of sleep.

Life-changing can be the word to sum the KL mission trip and you can be the judge to whether it’s true.

The friendship, camaraderie and bonding formed with our KL brothers and sisters-in-Christ is so precious and unforgettable.


Parting words from Pastor Chris Leong and friends from Antioch Network Community:
