mission trip

Greetings from Melaka,
The 11 of us are settled in Melaka and everything has been going on smoothly. Waiting for Samuel to come tmrw nite. First testimony to share, 7 of us do not have passport and we needed to make group passport. When we went to the immigration office on Friday morning, after finishing camp in camerons, we were shocked to find out that we neeed 5 working days to get the group passport done. Phew, imagine our dissapointment. If we make individual it will only take 2 days, tat is we can collect it the next day. Imagine 7 x Rm 300=RM 2100.. It doesnt make sense.. and it cost RM 200 only for group passport. We decided to take the risk and went ahead with making the passport.
Then, after much persuasion to the officers, they stil tak layan us. Shen Yee and Chooi FOong went to speak to the assistant pengarah and he asked us to write an appeal letter. Rushed aback to my church and type a letter. SHen Yee and I wnet back ti immigration office and went to see PEngarah straight. He scolded us la..And he told us he can only give us one day earlier...tats its on Tuesday..Phew..Wat difference does it make.We plan to leave on Monday. Then the assistant Pengarah came and said, its ok, they came earlier..Give them on Monday..So he said we were lucky to meet the assistant. Both Shen Yee adn I were excited and relieved. Yet God surprised us even more. THe assistant asked us to wait for 5 mins and he gave us the group passport on the spot. We were amazed how God works.. Heheh, we not only dun have to go back to immigration office but we got it straight..
This is the first testimony. It's not going to be the last and tat I am sure..:)
Please keep us all in prayers. Even as the group members trying to live and get to know each other is not easy. Pray for protection and may GOd use us to touch ppl, set captives free, and most of all know the Love of Christ.
Our motto or theme for this mision trip is EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.
Nov 1- Nov 5 we will be in Dumai...
At His service,
