For month 10 my team was placed in Sungai Pentani, Malaysia to work with a church called Bethel Assembly. We stayed above the church in their recording studio the entire month. At night we joined their services, prayer meeting and preached while during the day we worked at a local school for children with special needs. At the school we taught the children English and Math, did arts and crafts and lead P.E.

 

 

After a long travel day from Thailand the first order of business upon arriving to Malaysia was seeing Avengers: Endgame opening night.

Our first day of ministry was going on a 5k Health Walk with members of our church Bethel Assembly
