picture taken,11.12.2005.Laos mission trip

I used to be a christian with an enthusiasm heart and i would never missed out any activities in my church.But that was actually 3 to 4 years back.when i recall, i just feel that my life is so much substantial compare to nowadays.well, I'm not saying that my recent life is a total mess but just a little dull i guess.

I've joined my church mission trip to difference places.either local or overseas. i preached gospel to people that I've never met before.each time i go forth, i learnt something new. A breakthrough. An experience.It means so much to me.

Laos mission trip is the first and the last mission trip that i went.Also, it was the only mission trip that makes me realize how fortunate am I to live under my parents' and god embrace . Although, i know there are lots of unfortunate people around the world but i would never have the change to see with my own eyes until i joined this mission trip.

In Laos, we preached among the Chinese,China man.They run a small business in this place called Long Hu La Pang (located at the upper part of Laos) At first,we seemed unwelcome to them, somehow after sometimes they started to accept us. Then,by the power and strength from the god, we able to preach gospel to them and how wonderful it was that, they accepted the Christ and get water baptism done before our leaving.

Also, we visited three villages at three difference places but they all believe in one God.
i felt a stirring of emotion when i first visit a small village which located far from the city.it was a rural area that separated from the city. Moreover, it took us a 20minutes boat ride to that place. The place shows another side of the world,people were living in such a poor environment with no water supply and no electricity supply. They've been compelled by the others for accepting Christ,they were poor thought, yet they were so much staunch that I've expected. we did spent little time with the children.making balloons and also trying to bring joy for them. There were 30 over kids.From them, i know what a REAL KIDS should be. pure hearted. Indeed, it was an unforgettable experienced and also worth going.

Perhaps we were too focusing on god's work until we missed out our flight.(not joking).we remembered the wrong departure date and the worst things was, we noticed it only when we go for checked-in which was one day after the departure date :)
How careless we were.thought of staying one night in Thailand airport,somehow with $$$, everything settled. So, on the spot we booked air tickets-Jet Start and headed back to Singapore. That's the end of our journey. Not a hard one but meaningful.
