My Missions Trip

Will be going to Cameron Highlands for a missions exposure trip tomorrow until Sunday.
Am leading a team of 7 people (Myself, My Mum, My Brother, Yeoh Poh Lyn, Pauline Tan, Edmund Lee and Foo Lai Tuan).
Am quite excited and apprehensive at the same time. As I mentioned in my previous entry, most of them are going for the first time for a missions trip. My dad will be there to lead us into the villages (as he's been working there full time with them for the past few years).

Itenary
Friday
8am: prayer and leave KL for Cameron Highlands
12pm: arrive at Ringlet and have lunch
1pm: Unpack, Orientation by Dad and Prayer
3.30pm: Leave for 24th Mile Village.
4pm: Arrival at 24th Mile. Make visitations and invite OA for meeting. Have praise and Worship and a time of Sharing. Have dinner with them.
8pm: leave and go to Tanah Rata to get some supplies (like rubber shoes)
10pm: Pray as a team and sleep

Saturday

8am: Load supplies and Leave for Remote Village by Jeep
11am: Arrival, unload supplies and do visitation
12pm: lunch and go as the spirit leads.
4pm: decide on whether we will be staying the night. If not, start journey home so it won't get to dark at the end of the journey and that we won't fall into a ravine. =P
10pm: Pray and get some much needed sleep

Sunday
10am: Church
12pm: lunch and Start leaving for home (unless we have more strength to visit another village).
4/5pm: Home Sweet Home.


Prayer points
1. Journey Mercies
2. Great Weather (So that the jeep doesn't get stuck and that we won't have to trek into the village.. Shuddering at that thought)
3. God's protection and covering - spiritual and physical
4. Great experience for the team members - that they will be challenged and see God's heart and love for the OA people.

Dear God,
Please watch over the team and that we will have a great time getting to know your heart for the lost and be challenged once again to move out of our comfort zones. I pray against the attacks of the evil one and that Your hand will guide us and lead us. I pray too that You will comfort any anxious parents. Please bring us all back safely and that we will be challenged once again for You. May our love for You be so evident that it will overcome any language and cultural barriers.
