Great Day

Hello all. Today was an amazing day! It was great being able to worship with other believers. We are now settled in on the island. There are so many amazing people here. English camp starts tomorrow. Please be in prayer for the children who will be attending. There are 150 kids signed up and many have been turned away because of the lack of space to work with.
  • Remember the importance of praying in Jesus' name.

Philippians 2:10&11 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Revelation 5:11-14
11Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands,
12saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing."
13And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, "To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever."
14And the four living creatures kept saying, "Amen " And the elders fell down and worshiped.

  • There is power in the name of Jesus! Believe it!

Mosque


This is one of the Muslim mosques in KL. We were not allowed in, but we were able to walk around the outside. You can hear the depressing tones of chants and songs from these places all over the city throughout the day.

Travel and Friends

Matthew 28:19&20

God is the same God everywhere. Thank you God for sending me. Thank you God for using me. I am Your servant and my life is in Your hands. Use me.

Yesterday I learned a lot about the culture of Malaysia. I traveled to a muslim mosque, a hindu temple, the petronas towers, and the batu caves. The batu caves are a place where the Hindu keep many of their gods. It is so sad to see such devotion to lifeless idols, in hopes of being carried by them, when in reality, they are the ones carrying their gods. Isn't it amazing that we get to serve a God who carries us!! He is the only One worthy of our praise. It makes me wonder though, do we try to carry our God sometimes? We have to continually deny ourselves to see God.
Yesterday and today I was able to meet some Chinese students here. Some are believers, but most are not. God has really been working through us. Music is such a great bridge builder. I let them teach me songs and then I am able to teach them, which leads to questions about the lyrics and the meanings behind them. It has been so amazing. Anyway, we leave for Penang in about 6 hours, so I better get some rest for the trip. I'm going to try and post some pictures I took while we were traveling around. I love and miss you all!!

Long Trip

Well, we just arrived. WOW!! That was quite a trip if I do say so myself. I am sitting in the condo in KL where we will be staying until Saturday. Already missing home. Just wanted to let y'all know we made it. We are about to go ride around the city for a while, half awake, until about 8pm so we can reset our internal clocks for Pacific Rim time. Ooo Yeah, gotta love it. Well, there is so much to say and my battery is dying and Mr. Rodney (project coordinator) is ready to take us out and keep us awake in order to help us adjust.
