26 May 2008 Yunnan Trip

The day began at 0900hrs. The team set off to a christian rehab center. The journey took about an hour.

At the rehab center, the pastor shared about the history about the place and how the Lord has blessed the process. It started humbly as a desire by the pastor to put into action instead of prayer for a drug addicted relative. The process of rehab was simple reading, worship and prayer. It was something to learn that it is not the knowledge you know about. Instead not knowing how permit God to do something. It is therefore the surrender to the Lord so that He can start something.

By faith they acquire the land with much disappointment at first. But it was through the disappointment that the Lord teaches the reliance and the continual faith in Him. He will provides.

The presence of the Lord was at the place when we worship. I enjoyed the moment of worship, and can truely see that the people at the center so desire to have the Lord and worship Him.

Paul took the opportunity to share with the driver about God and explained to him, who happen to be the only non Christian. Though he did not accepted Christ, but the presence of God, the love of God he can experience when he witness the worship. Paul shared about Jesus who always happened to be at the least expected place and do the least expected work - when everybody was worshipping, and though he wished he was there, he knew that the presence of God too desired to be with the driver.

After lunch, the next was conducting a English class at Yunnan Finance and Economics University. Jason presented.

I find that he spend too much time selling himself and failed to permit the students to relate with the team. In such a process, I reflected and realise that it is not about me about how much I know and how confidence I am. I need and pray for the surrender of all these myself, so that again the Lord can do a deep work in me.

I played a small role, but I know that I need not be the one who do the significant. I am happy and simply pray during the process.

What is the Lord trying to teach me? What is the Lord speaking to me?

I depends too much on myself and the Lord cannot do anything in me unless I surrender to Him.
I have to surrender my vision, my knowledge, my experience, my confidence, my wealth. The Lord taught me that it was not about the work, but it it was about the heart.
