URGENT CALL
URGENT!
What will be your response, if you see this heading into your
chat heads?
Last March 2, there was an urgent call posted to
our previous Mission Group Chat. It’s an urgent call for those SFC’s who were available for mission on March 7-8 at Rizal area. I was excited that's why I answered Yes promptly to our mission coordinator. However, In my surprise there a lot of challenges along my way.
But He is God, and He will never fail us, He answered my deepest prayers with urgency as well.
Here are some points of the that one week journey.
* The challenge started on the same day that I said Yes to the call. I was bothered to my schedule because I have my
Sunday Am shift, and the scheduled program will start a little bit late. In this
sense, I planned two options which was go home after the session or bring my
duty uniform and go out early in the morning.
I had just trust to His plans. I believed
that He will make a way that is favorable to me. And Praise God I was able to
changed my schedule from morning to evening shift.
2. * 3 days before the mission trip, I was feverish-like.
I had a flank pain, difficulty to swallow, and my lymph nodes were shouting!! (sobrang
sakit nya). Upon reaching in our house, I checked my temperature and it was
within the normal range. But 3 am in the morning (Thursday), I had a high-grade
fever. I took anti-pyretic immediately. I sought for a consultation because I saw
my tonsils were so inflamed. Antibiotics and antipyretic started, plus continuous
TSB because my fever shoot up to almost 40 degrees Celsius. I surrendered to
Him my health. I asked my household to include me on their prayer intentions as
well.
Praise the lord, on the Friday morning I didn’t
need paracetamol anymore. My appetite was getting better and better every meal.
Indeed, God is a healer
* The deliverance of God’s message was my primary concern.
I wasn’t able to prepare anything until the night before the mission trip. After
our online meeting, I prepared for God’s message. I opened my heart, and eyes
to be able to listen to His word. Upon meditating and processing, I finished
the presentation. But I didn’t know how I will deliver it until the day itself.
I almost cried on the foot of His cross to guide me on the talk. Surrendering
to Him was really my sort of strength. And praise God, His holy spirit is
within the whole session. Everyone tried there very best to be opened.
Indeed, He is with us.

*Mission is always beyond border. It is not
always be grounded and closed on giving talks, facilitator or being an emcee.
But mission will always be beyond border. Being with them, and journeying with
them is an exceptional. Because of the time constraint that I have, I wasn’t able
to finish the whole program.
Since the Lord really knew what my heart
desires. He made our session a wonderful and entertaining one. I met familiar
faces from YFC days, I met some YFCs from East A, I met and encounter the heart
of every participants. There sharing about their desire to serve, to know, and
to seek their purpose in life moved me, which made this mission trip a memorable
one
In addition, I was able to have a sweet conversation
with my co-missionary. After our conversation, we prayed over each other. I
think this is the best experience, to lay down you hands to pray over and being
prayed over as well.
It is indeed that the Lord answers in different ways and in
different manner. Sometimes we asked Him constantly if when He will answer our
concerns and desires. Let us be reminded that God is God, and He know when and
where will be the perfect time for each and every one of us.
Praise be to God!
