As the unsung hero team here in Malaysia this month, it’s our job to find people who are doing kingdom work, who have a ministry that future teams could come in in the future and work alongside with to do incredible things for the country they’re serving in.
Our job is to find them and to bridge them with adventures in missions.
So as we were going through all of the different lists that we are given for the job of UH, I come across an international church, I do some research on it, and get pumped about this church.
Email sent.
Our team decides it would be a good idea to go to church Sunday and reach out to the community that way.
Saturday, our team realizes, for whatever reason the lists we have are an unorganized mess.
There is an “AIM’s friend list – do not contact”, either they’re in the process of being set up as a host, don’t meet the requirements, do not wish to be a host, there could be many reasons why they’re on this list.
I decided to look, 15 minutes before church, to see if the church I contacted and that we were going to this morning was amongst the chaos of that unorganization.
It was…
No biggie. Let’s go anyway.
We requested an Uber car to the address.
And we pulled up next to a big sign that says The Embassy of Saudi Arabia…
Our driver points across the street at a large hotel and says, “I think it’s that one, the St. Petersburg.”
We chuckle, thank him and get out.
“If anything there is another church a 10 minute walk down the road we saw,” Tabitha suggested.
We walk up to the front gate and all I’m prepared to say is, “No, I don’t have my passport.”
We ask if Harvest church is here, he smiles, says yes and points inside.
What? I’m sorry, what? Yes? Plot twist.
Inside there it was. Congregation and all.
God likes to take us for little trips.
Life will never be boring.
After church we were invited to lunch and went to lunch with what seemed like half of the congregation. We got to sit and talk with some of the coolest people and share about how we all got there.
We were going to find contacts and ended up in a time of great fellowship, being filled up.
God never disappoints.
We found out that the Saudi Arabian Embassy rents space on the 7th floor, it just has the biggest sign.
