The following was my article of my reflection on my mission: (Gosh~ Its so long ^^ ):
“Mission exists because worship doesn’t exist” This was the quote by one of the famous missionary john piper. Mission exist when worship in that place does not exist and the gospel is needed to be brought across to these people who needs to have a fair share in the joy of the gospel.
In my team for the local Charis missions, I do have the benefit and chance to co-lead for this team who strive to bless the little pillars of hope for Singapore, the children’s ministry. For this trip, I have learned to focus on 3 things that are essential and only be found during mission.
Firstly, many practical applications can be made both in the team and also to the children back in the student care center. Learning and studying on fishing all along doesn’t make you a great fisherman right? Applying these skills points brings about many lessons that is attach along with it… like while you are trying to lead a team of people into helping them to make decision, you are not just training yourself on the field of assisting, but also on learning to make decision yourself too!
Secondly, many a times I’ve overlook that children are all along a different “set” of people. You see, you will need a great deal of knowledge to pass on certain life value to a kid more than a youth for an example. But it is a different set of teaching all along, but being with kids, one need to learn to control himself and to really understand the coming point of your message and also how you deliver it. It is not easy as little ripple of mistake to us may form a wave in the child’s perception.
Lastly, I face a lot of struggles and difficulties from the trip. One of the valuable application steps is to really seek God. Being in a situation where you find yourself away from your usual spot, you will find that seeking God is different while you are in your “comfort zone”, and that itself helps me grow a lot in relying on Him more and more and to really appreciate the “moldings” that comes along my way.
I am really thankful that I was being place in a well blend of talents that take cares from food to daily activities. People who could take the front-line to backstage people, these people paint a wonderful picture. How can scenery be nice when there are flowers and large trees? The greeneries of course! These peoples not only compliment the main lead but also provide a chain of learning opportunities as we transits from role to role.
Ultimately, I will also like to thank God for many big areas like seeing everything through smoothly, allow us to think of creative and fresh ideas. Not just that, but also the slightest things like being able to have food daily, safety of my fellow mission mate and myself for the whole trip and also providing a shelter for us.
And that never in my did I come across a message from God that occurs so many times. "Patient". This was the message that I was reminded 3 times! From missions, cell and my QT. 3 times I was told by God to be "patient", sounds like when Jesus reinstates Pete ya? Haha...
