Alex’s Missions Trip Report
Chiangmai 13th December - 20th December '09



-Personal objectives/expectations

1. To experience God in a foreign land
2. To allow His ways to constantly amaze me throughout the trip
3. To renew my child-like wonder and anticipation of His works and plans for us in this trip. (Isaiah 55:9)
4. I wanted God to renew my zeal and passion again


-What have I learnt?


From engagement from the kids, I have learnt how to simply trust the Lord and understanding what Jesus said ( Matthew 18: 2-5)


Night service at Pong An I saw how people in the village were hungry for the word of God when uncle jem preached at the service.


Our worship was rather simple. A simple instrument like a guitar but it moved the hearts of the villagers during service, devotions and the little kids when I was having a simple time of worship with them. I saw how the kids loved to sing praises to God.


City church meeting was also rather eventful. It was a time I first heard such a powerful rebuke but I was glad the members took it in their stride and repented to God and indeed I saw many people’s hearts returning to God. As to the guy who was slain, it came rather as a shock to me but praise God that the prayer I spoke as a blessing to him moved him( I think).


-Gifting and future ministry


The spiritual gifts that I have materialized most usefully were in the areas of faith and helps. As to intercession, well it take a while I guess.

Future ministry I know that I can’t cope in is the children ministry<> I would love to join a ministry that reaches out to lost souls or people who backslided I guess.

-My next step

I would love to learn how to preach or worship lead. However it is still not the time for me I guess. All this will take time,so let god do the guiding and to just pray and seek for wisdom in this area and my future steps to take.
