“WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON IN MALAYSIA?!”-MOM
“omg I’m just picturing you penning this little diddy while sitting by
candle light in the jungle (in my world that’s how it worked).”-My friend Lauren
“You’re in KL, is it a dream?”- My friend Stan
Okay…I guess it’s about that time that I share with you all what Malaysia has been like. I realize that I have barely been blogging, and I think it’s because I have been taking it all in. Our ministry contacts are AMAZING, and fill our days with so many great opportunities. My team is really growing, and I literally am learning something EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I could probably write 101 blogs on this month alone, but I’ll give you a brief sum-up in one. If you are interested in knowing more- feel free to email me by clicking contact me.
Our Ministry contacts own a restaurant. From 12-2 we work at the restaurant doing all different tasks.
I am one of the waitresses. 
Who knew that I would be waitressing on The World Race. This is a great opportunity to help the ministry make money, as well as meet people in the area.

Cell Group:
Cell groups are small groups of people that meet together. We meet with a group every Wednesday night. My team has led worship for this cell group, as well as given sermons. Last week I was able to give a sermon on “The Servants Heart.” It was a great opportunity to share with those what I believe it means to be Christian. I think such a core value in Christianity is SERVING others, and putting others before yourself.
Community Feedings:
We have had the opportunity to feed the hungry in Kuala Lumpur. God teaches us to feed the hungry…so that is what we do.
Skits and Dramas:
We have created skits for children, as well as learned the “everything” drama. Skits and dramas are a great way to reach out to people when there is a language barrier. Plus…they are kinda fun to do!
Childrens Ministry:
We have created songs, skits, and lessons for children. One weekend, we were in the Jungle and did 6 Children services in 3 days!! We sang screaming songs, songs with hand and body motions, skits with lessons, etc. Often times we are put on the spot to LEAD. I once had to come up with a devotional for the children with no prep. I did the lesson on how God wants to change us…and had the children act like catapillars and butterflies. Why crawl when you have the ability to fly?
This was probably the hardest/most rewarding ministry for me. Our team would go into bars and clubs that were known for hosting prostitutes. We would go in pairs, and try to befriend the girls. We would get their contact information, and then call them at a later date to meet up. Then an organization we work with mentors them and gets them out of prostitution. I have met some really sweet and amazing women while doing this. This is a very hard ministry to do though because it is very hard to watch what goes on. Watching the businessmen purchase the women made me sick to the core. The first night I went, I spent hours crying asking God to help me forgive these men. I felt so much anger toward them. It breaks my heart seeing what sin can cause.
Discipleship:
Peter and Carol are the real deal. They serve God with such open hearts. Nothing is ever a burden for them, and they pour their hearts into us EVERY DAY. Peter often gives us lessons. He has taught us about healing, spiritual warfare, the speaking of tongues, letting go of the past…etc. The man has so much wisdom and knowledge. He backs every lesson up with his incredible knowledge of The Word, and encourages us to pray and seek out God. Carol is like the Chinese version of my mom. She is such an amazing woman of God. She could run the restaurant with her eyes closed. She has a HUGE heart of compassion, and reaches out to those in need. She can be tough with us, but then so loving! For example she will say “Whats the matter with you?” when we mess up…And then 5 minutes later give us ice cream. I truly can say that I will never forget them.
These are just some of the things we have been doing…like I said, I could write 101 blogs on this month. Feel free to read my teammates blogs as well 🙂
Also, thank you sooo much for all your support! I am $4,810 away from being fully supported!
My team leader Trev made a video of a typical day with us…it’s pretty funny!
