A Friday to Remember...

I attend Cell Group (CG) on Fridays. It's a great time of fellowship with my churchmates, a time of sharing, and a time of learning the Word of God... oh, and the food sums it all, always a great night :)

The past Friday was slightly a different one... we sang the Birthday song, I blew the candle and cut the cake. It was a small but yet, a very memorable event :) It was just GREAT! Am really thankful I got so much out of the Nepal trip, it's just unbelievable! Pastor Sam once said to me, "It could be your launch pad for more", and it really is! I can't wait to do more for the Kingdom of God...

And more is what I did on that Friday. After CG, about 12am, 12 of us went to the heart of Penang in a van, with flowers, food and everyday necessities.

The first objective was to find transvestites. We broke into 2 groups, and walked about. The girls would be handing out flowers to these transvestites, and the guys would be walking behind 'em, just to be on the lookout, in case anything happens. All in all, my group met and gave flowers to about 5-6 of 'em. They would just looked surprised, and kept smiling, and thanking :)

After that, we went on to look for the homeless. Unknowingly to me, there were so many of 'em lying on the streets, sleeping. Apparently, there's actually more! ...but the Government has been "cleaning" up the streets due to Visit Malaysia 2007.

We walked up to them, placed a packet of bee hoon, and a bag with some food, toilet paper, a bottle of water, etc. A few would wake up and thank us. The amazing thing that happened that night was when Susan spoke to one of 'em, and shared our loving Jesus to him. He cried, and accepted Jesus just barely 15 minutes of conversation. PRAISE THE LORD!!!

A friend once said, "Why go all the way to Nepal when you can save the people here?" She's right, so right, and this man is proof that there's so much we can do right here in our Nation. Who said we can't be missionaries in our own country? Who said we can't share our experiences with the Mighty One to the people here? Every day, we meet people who has not known Him, and to not share with them, the love of Christ, is to not follow the Word of God for Matthew 28:19-20 says this, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Amen to that!
