Going for this mission trip is indeed life changing,my skills are put to use & walking closer to His calling for me. Sometimes at work or in life when I felt discourage,i'll think back of the Sri lanka kids,they have nothing yet we have everything but not satisfied....they are truly my motivator!
I make great friends from the team of 10 pple during the trip.
I went to the trip with Pst Gideon(from Tamil svc),He's totally so funny! Haha, as He was helping to translate the diagnosis of of the Tamil's pple,eg: 1 patient has an ulcer in the mouth, from Tamil to English lang...He had a fruit growth in the mouth! The other example,i think the patient had a heartburn,complaining of stomac burning...it was translated to I got stomach fire!!
It was totally hilarious!! And he shared with us stories of how he first met his wife...inspiring really & romantic of course!;) Will share with u the full details if u'r interested to know..
Then our team was leaded by David ECD,though i was wishing very much that Pst Kenneth would come along too! Though he maybe someone tt's very D,yet without him,we might not be able to complete the journey on time.Really thankful to him:)
Along the mission team,we have 2 Doctors, Dr Jin Kiat & Tiffany tang, the best doctors i ever wored with,they are so funny! Not those kind with full of attitude u experience in hospital,but the ones serving with passion & love.I was so inspired by them, & it happens that both of them have got the same birthdates....but don't be mistaken they are not couples,just coincidentally.. haha!
Working along with me is Nurse Peck! She's totally work orientated when it comes to work, really a good nurse,ang given me great advises for my future, emphasise the importance of me to go for further studies,yea I'll want to study the best I can,be as influential as I can for Lord Jesus Christ.
And also Jin shui,we kept on calling him kim jui...oops! He's been so helpful throughout the trip, esp on the fourth day of the trip when we had been so busy with the administering & explanation of the medications,he helped us so much with the packaging,which saved us a lot of trouble.
Last but not least,we had got the youngest team members,age 17 only, they are David gan & Isabelle yeo, they were helping out with the children,thinking up of creative games to entertain them,it was such a great fun,i tell u.If i wasn't busy dispensing the meds,i would have been joining them, they are really hyper & full of excitement. Is really through God's grace that despite the communication barrier,the children throughly enjoyed themselves,loving every sweets & gifts presented to them!:D
Usually at day 2 & 4,we gather in a room,to discuss what things had impacted us & what are the things we can do to improve our flow of work.Also I shared that the reason I want to go through this mission trip,is truly because of this vision God had given to our Church & me..
(Matt28:19) Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit)
