Back from Raub for more than a week
It was my first mission trip
I wasn't interested to go at first
But I felt that I should go, at least once
And I'm glad that I did
It wasn't easy for me
especially speaking in BM
what more sharing in Bahasa.
Few days before the trip
I thought of finding a lame excuse to pull out.
But none came into my mind.
I gained many first experiences in this trip.
I visited the orang asli, experienced their lives, played with the kids
ate babi hutan, ate with my hand, shared in BM,
saw a big porcupine as a pet with my own eyes (I'm a jakoon)
the cheapest ais-kacang I ever had, etc...
It was more of me getting bless by the people there
rather than me blessing them.
I learned so much from them, from the pastor.
Their faith, sincerity, kindness,warmness and so much more.
God was real, and is always real.
If it wasn't for this trip
I wouldn't be certain that He is always by my side.
Years of attending church and listening to the pastors,
"God's always with you" gradually became a theory, and less real to me.
But now, I'm assured that His is always there with me.
I'm looking forward to go again, I want to visit them again.
A short video - Song sung by the orang asli, it's a nice song!!!
