END OF Photos.
Before My trip on 30th November, my Fitness trainer used the Karada Scan to measure me. Apparently, I was 96.7kg. I managed to maintained this weight till today, but my waistline grew to 39".
Stats below:
Here's a summary of what I did there:
SHORT-TERM MISSIONS DEBRIEF
1. What did you like best about your trip?
All the
Pastors’ and Church Members’ Hospitality, the Home cooked foods. Ps. Isaac fetching us around and warmth
hospitality. I liked the Simple Life of
the Burmese.
I love Wagons.
Felt so Happy seeing so many JDM Wagons like Corolla Fielder, Avensis,
Ipsum, Nissan California. Google told
me Burma Began Driving on the Right side of the Road back in 1970 90% of Burmese can only afford reconditioned
cars from Japan as New car reserved for the Rich or Military officials.
The Home
visitations. It was eye opening. I observed Burmese have a Strong Hunger for
God after Decades of Suppressed military Regime. They were more than Ready to Accept what we
share. They have child like faith.
2. What did you learn about the country,
people and culture?
I Google
and discovered Myanmar have the 2nd Highest Road Fatality Rate in The
World. Therefore, the Government is
gradually banning RHD New Cars since 2015.
The citizens are very poor, laid back, like Malay culture. They were easily contented. The smile on their face upon receiving Gift
or Clothing were priceless.
This is a Much Safer country than Malaysia, Pastor Isaac daughter’s luggage left at the
back of the Hilux openly for 1 day, no one Steal. If this is KL, within minutes it’ll be
gone. We can walk around in Yangon At
night yet feel safe. Something we can no
longer enjoy in KL. There are many Colonial
buildings around Yangon City.
Burmese
Enjoys Rice with Pork or Chicken, Soup and Curries OR Chillies very much. I loved their version of Pork Vermicelli
Noodles called “Khao Swe”. Unique, Rich
in ingredients and taste.
Burmese
people Love dogs. They don’t eat
them. Hence, Dogs are Everywhere. There are many Stray dogs.
3. Share a special story, event or person you
met.
Ps.Nandar’s
persistency in Praying for the Sick.
Normally people prayed 1-2 rounds, she prayed Non-stop for the Crippled
boy. I respect her never give up
attitude.
Also, during
a Rainbow Mercy home, 1 HIV+ aunty WORKED so Hard taking care of the Home she
Fainted 3 times after the Prayers.
Later, We were told she Overworked despite sickness. She’s fine 1 hour later when we are leaving
the place.
The
generosity spirit of the Members. One
member willing to offer his Piglet for sale to raise funds for the WFC.
4. What was one thing you were most thankful
to God for?
Thank God
for my Team, we bonded together well.
They treating me like a “little brother”. Thank God for Protection during the Sampan
Ride – without life jacket @ high tide.
I didn’t feel afraid nor experienced any sea-sick (normally would).
Thank God
for the GMF Healings, 1st time in my life seeing Healing right in front of my
eyes. After Visiting the
Slums in Hlaing Tar Yai and Seikki, I began to feel thankful and appreciate all
the things I have and all the people around me.
5. What was most difficult or challenging for
you?
The Dirty
toilets, most of toilets Can’t flush.
Resisting Breastfeeding mums in front of me. Language Barrier. We don’t know what the translator said. Lack of translator.
This was
the 1st time I leaving my home without family member for so long. Overcome my fear of public speaking. This is the 1st time I sharing Testimony in
public (3 times), 1st time sharing word (once).
Also, 2 times Candy cane stories.
6. What did you learn about God and His
character?
Pray for and
rely on the Holy spirit. Praying in the spirit helps in Many occasions. 1st time
he revealed so many verses to me at the right place and right time. God’s timing is perfect.
I can see God
Soften the hearts of Burmese, especially the believers. Helped them brave persecution. Helped me to overcome my fear of failure and
gave me Courage. God also gave us Energy
and strength to last the whole day.
7. What did you discover about yourself and
what will you do about it?
I learned to
work as a team. I learned to appreciate the things and people around me. Admired their Child-like faith. Need to have
more faith in God and co-operate / listen to the Holy spirit. Discipline in Reading God’s word and Devotion
Daily.
8. How can you continue to contribute towards
the work in the community you served?
I shall keep
WFC in Prayer especially the 4 pastors and their ministries.
At least I
can tell the Burmese I fetched every Tuesday to DUMC “I’ve been to your country
and I enjoyed every moment. Love your
Country, Love Wagon”. Before this trip,
I have nothing to say to them. I shall
be back Next year by God’s Grace.
