this is our final week in nepal, and this might be the last mail to all of u (maybe have one more mail)

Monday,

morning we went to cg, after cg. we try street evangelism in a NEAR BY parl which walk about one hour to the destiny (well everyone WALK THERE), but We are not that tired ccoz of all the training...

the park is near mountain, so nice. Can see lots of monkey with red butt walking around..

we have 5 ppl in total, me , steward, Kooi Woon, kasi and Prakash (brothers from hope kathmandu). I pair up with Prakash..

intotal we share to 4 gals. the first 2 gals are not that responsive but the other 2 gals very responsive. When i start sharing to the other 2 gals i really can feel the guidance of holy spriti,and same to Prakash. Coz i share first then Prakash will continue sharing coz he share in nepalee. Then after the end of the sharing he told me that both of our sharing is corincidently met both of their needs. coz one is having financial problem, need to earn money to support her sibling's study fees and another one have few brothers in jail, so the gal are staying in park due to depress. they wan to join cg and church. Even though not accepted christ but responsive,

while steward and his team met 5 guys. having fin time sharing and get one of them been to church before, and we will followup on that..

monday night so surprisingly i dream about mount himalaya... then the next day we wan to go to NAGAKOT. we go up with kasi and lolita., the trip is about 2 hours i guess (change 3 buses)

we had a long walk and enjoy the scenery, i guess my parents will love the nature here coz has alot of fine green trees, horse and goats, ahha .. the goats jus sit on the roat and we take photo with them.. then we did alot silly things there such as SHOUT to the montain etc..

the wind is cool and MOST IMPORTANT THING is.. we finally see the mount himalaya!! i not sure whether which one is mount everest and anarpurna.. BUt we like WAAA.. it is so beautiful... coz the mountain is white colour on the clouds.. really remind me about heaven.. lol.....

then we sit on top of the bus when we go down.. about one hour, reason is we wan to experience how it feel to sit on TOP of the bus. i guess my parents will shock.. XD.. jus like slow roller coaster without safety belts.. i video record it down too kakakka...

kk,
today we go zoo with sister Reeta and his husband (who cook meal for us everyday), we wan to treat them a big meal and after that we will have holy spirit baptism..

hi guys,
sorry for not emailing for 6 days..
all of us been very busy and i miss all of u very much o hehe
ok back to topic
that is really exciting start on last friday.. that day all of us when to Tribu one U in Kathmandu. wa i cant imagine we need to climb up and down to get to the University (coz main roas too far, we walk from short cut). we go with singapore team.. and with non christian contact.. We went around and know some contacts. Tribuone U is a master university in Nepal, all of them study master there. so we go to survery land. But wat is most exciting is, we share Christ to the contact bring us there...
and he converted under a nice tree after long sharing.. all of us rejoice and i did video record down when he prayed the sinner's prayer.. can pray for him, His name is sudip. and He is the only person in nepal that heart (jantung) is on right side, and this had broad cast in news...
so he suffer from pain as he do activities with his right hand such as writing, wash cloth and stuff.. so pray for him to be healed ;)
then on saturday serrvice (nepal rest day is on saturday).. Hot Peng shared Christ to a person(working adult), challenge him to trust God to heal him > THen he accept Jesus too!
on sunday...
all of us go to youth praise and worship concert. the band is HIMALAYA rock for Christ.. the band is cool... sing for lik 2 hours i guess.. BUT wat is "cooler" is the youth in nepal .. i have never seens such "passion" christian crowd... they jus keep shouting and keep the atmosphere warm and noisy with jus one praise song.. in malaysia we need to crack our head to stir up atmosphere with different type of fast song. they no need one o hahahha.. that really encourage me, and nepal is reviving lol... we bring sudip frens.. (we all also know one), all of them are non christian. so After concert, Gui wen Share Christ and one of them convert too ;)
so actually 2 person out of 4 already convert. so we are waiting for another 2 ... keke

I am not ashame to tell, this is the very first time to see such huge lakeside.. and natural lake. we shoot lots of photo. Guess wat, Prakash nephew stayed there, n his name is nissan.. so Nisan bring us around.. And he accepted Christ during the boating... wow.. so we pray sinner's prayer ON THE BOAT.. so nice.. haha... unforgetable moment..
then we went 2 times to sarangkot... we wake up at 3 am zzzz jus want to go to the mountain to see sunrise.. BUT first day rainning.. see nothing, due to that we stay for another night. 2nd day no rain but ltos of misst .. cant see sunrise and himalaya mountain T.T hahah but all of us still enjoy.. do alot of funny things there. will show when we come back..
then some of us went to cave .. in the cave is really amazing.. the end of the cave is a real tall and big water falls.. the water falls is Devi's fall... i jus amaze by God creation at that moment..
all these days are tired yet exciting.. We hope to see more converts. and Gal convert too... so far all converts are guys, so pray for gals..
the life here truly different and cant say much due to time factor.. jus keep us in prayer too cz most of us sick... haha.. as me.. my skin are itchy all the time , got lots of red spot. and Gui wen getting soar throat back...

letter from nepal (may) Wednesday, June 13, 2007 |

27 may


Hello everyone!!!!!

hehe we arrive safely in nepal on friday morning!!

me and my team exort by brother Prakash and bring us to guest house.. It is like hostel type. we stay in 2 different rooms. one for Guy and one for gal.

the environment here are very different from malaysia. the Road system with no rules, they drive as they like. They hav few typess of public transport. Taxi, Van, DUT DUT car. and buses. we go to places by buses, we tried DUT DUT also.. the DUT DUT Space is smaller than a noral car.. but it can fit more than 10 people!! some people jus jump on the car and hold it out side the car.

they also good in walking, can walk few hours and days to reach a destination.

shops and street are small.. we went to few places,. THAMEL tourist places, Prakash house and go around the streets.

there are few things that we learn and experiene

People in Nepal is merely friendly to us, they treat us really nice and serve us to their very best they can. I am very touch by their hospitality because they put us as their first priority , they try their best to satisfy our needs first then only . i am touch by their simple heart to serve...

their sunday service place is guest house, small with 3 beds inside. we sit on it to attned sunday servie. they sing with an instrument. their local drum, and amazingly thye din sing off tune!! EVEN though we cant understand their langague but touch by their worshipful heart.. we can really sense that they are really worship God and expressive..

and Hot Peng preach on sunday service, and me giving testimony. peopple there are responsive .. they always give "amen" hohohohoho,,, n i personally really encouraged by them when on the stage keke

we have our first leadership traning this morning. brother Hot peng teach them the importance of having cg meeting weekly. and we will have this training 2 days once .. coming we will wan to really demo to them how to run a real cg.

then we met sister lolitha from Hope singapore who permanently stay in Nepal.. she is a good heart sister.. she willing to sacrifice all her comfort jus to stay in nepal to help the chruh. She wants to pioneer student group.. and this is wat we plan to do there too

basically our days here are quite busy, sleep kinda late and wake up late HAHAHHA which is 11 pm and wake up 6 am.... they sleep at 9 plus and wake up at 5 am!!

really train us to be dicipline and always prepare to walk XD hehehhe... Thank God that we are still fine, kekke.. food here is REALLY CHEAP/// accodomodation also very CHEAP!@!! kids here really "guai'.. they very obedient and polite.... always say thank you to us hohohoho...

okla i find it very excited staying ehre.. and lookin forward for next... maybe you can pray for us

1. health ( Gui Wen still flu and sick ), we can remain healthy and consume enough nutrition// become healthier hohoh

2. able really to help Hope KAthmandu set up cg system, able to train up leaders among them

3. every plan an run smoothly

and

I miss you all :)

hi all, Namaste

today is the 4th day we aree in nepal, our trip getting more excited. we experience lack of sleep everyday hahahaha coz we are very fruitful ;)

yesterday we decieded to cook for the nepal brothers and sisters who serve us alot. Wooi Sim buy alot of sayur and chicken. make ABC Soup, cook chicken, vegetable and eggs. Chicken is very very expensive here.. and the portion we cooked is one of their best time eating in their life.. they nv eat such "luxurious meal" before.. coz the food = their one month salary.....so alot of them really happy eating that.. coz we have our meal in their restaurant.. their restaurant only have 4 tables.. so when we cook, we actually attracted 4 ppl come to try out our "chinese food"

But before we had our dinner... electectricity stop.. sat n sun night for 2 hours no electricity.. so when half way waiting out side the shop.. sitting there jus like nepalist culture.. we bring out guitar and have mini concert there ahahhahaha

well.. because of that, many people stop and oobserve us.. and the kids jus follow us singing along.. we jus sing praise and worship song coz we donno other songs chords hahah.. all of us getting so excited. even me as well, we really sing with the joy of the Lord.. coz this is the kind of mission trip we want. ;) u rarely see hot peng sing rite.. hehe that night he sing alot of 80 an manderin song hahahhahaha play guitar somemore !!

today..

this morning me and Gui Wen bring breakfast to a pharmacy shop. we knew the lady last night.. then we jus had a long chat there, she is so responsive and want to join sat service this week

then this afternoon we walk to their campus.. about 15-20 minutes walk.. we jus spend 5 min there then go back.. BUT the walk is so fruitful...

coz along the way we met alot of college students... mostly guys.. then we jus simply approach them.. around 10 in total! .. 3 different campus.. wow.. this is nv happen in malaysia hahah.. coz all of them too friendly .. lol... and most of the guys are handsome... XD hahahhaha sissters don get jealouys.. coz i took photo with them hahaha.. we met one gal, the gal also very pretty and very polite .. guys and gals you can consider to come here for mission of pioneer ahhahahahaha

after take their no,.. this evening we straight play sport with them.. they really have alot of fun time ( i play with the kids and shoot video) ... but i also not lonely hahah coz few kids nearby jus come and approach me and the parents also talk to me.. so i get a few contacts tehre hehe.. ..

after sport. we even brought them to the restaurant to "chia liu" (tea time).. we play game, sing alot of songs. make the restaurant so noisy :P.. after that.. 5 min gathering become 30 minitues and more.. kaka.. one of the guy said to us.. this is his greatest moment in his life, he will never forget that.. wow, so touching.. hahaha

we really experience great fruits in reaching out and followup.. ppl here is so simple and open to foreign people..

Just want to encourage all of you.. continue to to talk to the students.. hope that you can experience great fruits in coming MMU intakes.. reaching out doesn seems like so difficult now ;) for those who haven try to reach out to stranger.. maybe you can try this time out.. thats really exciting and you will experience God greatly

Really want to thank God for all the fruits here... and All glory give to God. And thank God that we are still well in our body hehehe.. we will sure very hearlty back to malaysia coz we WALK ALOT hahaha

do continue to pray for us..

miss you all dearly

Ma timilai maya garchu... means i love you....

Namaste again,

Im happy to tell u news again lol.. well.. Steward is incharge of writing report to Pastor Kit Siang so I in charge to update news to you guys.. hehe so no worries.. he is very fine... and steward getting fat coz every meal he eat about 2 plates rice. And I thank God for his wonderful plan coz buses and people in nepal is quite short... so Steward head touch the top of the bus.. n he is very tall in nepal.. haha so ppl taller than steward are not the best candidate to go nepal HAHAHHAA...

ok what we did this 2 days.

tues,

we go out to get to know one of our church people's friends. at first i tot is jus 2 or 3 people... MANA TAHU.. he almost bring half of his classmates .. is like 10 plus people.. of course i faster take oppurtunity to video tape down that time hehehe... Very funny, most of the people we met are guys.. we don really have much gal contacts... together now we have about 20+ contacts in hand.. 2 different big groups,..

after that all of us together with contacts we go for site seeing in durbar sqaure, thamel and eat lunch together... very different scenery there.. i will let u see video when we back.. what is the amazing things that we experience is.. WE WALK BACK HOME FROM the town...!! we already quite tired walk around in varies places.. that really challenge us on physical strength to walk back.. i dono why we need to walk back but all of us jus follow coz we donno the way.. so in total we walk like 4 hours the half day.. siao liao.. BUT walking is normal in nepal.. so we have training before we go to pohkara.. mountain trekking.. hehe

after we reach home, one of the contact follow us back.... so while me and GUI WEN talking to him... we shared Christ to HIm, Gui wen do the talking and i share testimony.... I can see his eyes is wet but din cry la... aiyo people so simple there. haha when Guiwen ask him whether wan to accept Christ or not, he say more than 50% he will... He not yet Accpet Christ but he wan to see us once more time ;)

and the other gang that we reach out to are really active.. they like to stick with us and already 2 days play sport with them.. and they always stay till quite late only wan to go back haha.. so

tonight we will go to one of a their house, he will bring his frens.. so we plan to share Christ to ALL of them.. i getting excited haha.. remember to pray for us

then yesterday we went to one of the brother's house for cg.. the house is jus a room.. a bed and a cupboard.. very simple... but pack with lots of people.. the owner again serve us with lots of food.. ALOT.. is like 5-6 plates. got bread.. vege, fruists.. biscuits, and keropok...

the people there is really simple, children is mature and very helpful.. since small they trained to serve people, coz children always be the last group to have meal, this is wat we experience the big difference here. Steward say he was touch coz a children worship God durind praise and worship tim,e. again they also responsive to teaching and really easily to sense God;s presence there coz their hunger to come near to God.

today we jus relax and rest after few days of busy.. later me n Gui Wen will teach 2 of them guitar, and tonight go visitation.

Hot Peng seems like don wan to go back di.. and the kids likes wooi sim very much lol

love
