Myanmar Mission Trip Reflections
Personally I was very exhausted at the end of the trip, so while I did share a short summary of the trip on the plane, I thought about it and realised that short sharing was really short-changing what God has done for me on the trip, so I decided to write a note about the trip. Might be a bit messy but I tried to keep it in chronological order.
1. Reason for coming for the trip: God specifically lead me to this trip way back in Jan 2019, when wife and I went to Myanmar for a short holiday. Was praying in tongues in the car ride from the airport to the hotel when we first touched down, which to me is really weird. I've really never ever done such thing before, it almost sounds flakey. But I remember praying for a long time cos it was quite a long ride and I felt the love of God flowing into the land.
2. When the trip got postponed a few times, I was actually a bit discouraged. I began to doubt, did God really ask me to go to Myanmar, because it looked like the trip might not happen. In early September there were only maybe 6 or 7 sign ups, and I was the only guy, Wendy told me. So when the trip was confirmed, I really learnt not to doubt God, and not to doubt what I hear from Him. If it is His will, it will be done.
3. For PM 1, again I was a bit discouraged because I didn't get any word or vision or feeling on what the trip would be. Of course I was excited when I listened to Deborah and Wendy Ng share about their visions for the trip, but personally I felt a bit lost. Yes I know it's very strange, I knew I was supposed to go, but I didn't know for what purpose. For my past few trips, God gave me quite a clear word even during PM1. But I felt peace and God's love, so despite not knowing how the trip will be or what I am supposed to do, I just continued praying and planning and doing what I was assigned to do. To be clear, doing what I am assigned to do by my leader is obedience to man, that is really the easiest thing to me, but to be obedient to God and knowing what He wants me to do, that is when it really gets challenging. I remember Deborah telling us to keep praying and proclaiming Psalm 91. This would be relevant in 2 ways, which I would only realise later as the trip unfolded.
4. I was even sharing with Idy that during this time before the trip, I was super busy with work, as I was handling a $280M deal involving legal, technical and commercial issues, I was helping direct the company's legal position, a huge responsibility that weighed so heavily on me that I wasn't praying for the trip, I was constantly thinking about the project and the problems. But I really didn't have to worry, as when I came back to Singapore, the parties managed to settle and compromise on many issues, and an angel investor came into the picture, and we are going to sign the $280M deal on 9 December! So really, God is good, He is so good, I didn't need to worry at all! Focus on the promise, not the problem - this became the theme for my sermon at MHC! Kenneth and the rest who went MHC might remember, this was the main message. I didn't even know that the word I was preaching actually was a word in season not just for MHC but also for me personally! Really couldn't imagine how God works in so many ways, it's mind boggling. I only realised this in retrospect, when I came back to Singapore and thought through the trip. God works in amazing ways. Further, one day before the trip, on Thursday, I felt HS prompt me to listen to God of the Promise on repeat on my Spotify list. Like really, on the way to work and on the way home, I was listening to the song, and the first verse of the song was related to the Bible verses I used in my message. Really hair stand when I realised this also.
5. Then at PM2, I finally received some verses from Ephesians 4:1-6, which I shared during the PM. Actually another ex-CG member (we used to be in the same CG in 1999) also messaged me the same verses but from NLT version, just on the day of the PM itself, which is like, woah coincidence, or it is really confirmation from God. Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. *Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all.* Ephesians 4:1-6 NLT The verses were about unity, which I felt throughout the whole trip, from every single member on the mission team. The synergy and cooperation amongst the whole team was amazing simply because the same Holy Spirit worked amongst us all.
6. The feeling when we touched down was quite different from when we entered Bali. I recall when we landed in Bali, we felt like there was some spiritual oppression, it's like when you climb a mountain and there is less oxygen so you have to take deeper breaths, that kind of feeling. But in Myanmar, there was such feeling of peace and joy, and overflowing love of the Lord. Many of the team members also kept confirming this theme, in prayer warrior chat.
7. I don't want to sound long-winded but really, the experience at the children's home, is really something worth remembering. They were so exuberant in praise, and they really bared their hearts and soul during worship. I have not felt anything like that before, the moment the children started singing, the presence of God fell like a huge waterfall! Idy and I were so privileged to be able to see with our own eyes, from the front of the stage, the intensity, purity and fervency of the children's worship. God came so quickly to the cry of their hearts. Tears were streaming down my face as I struggled to continue playing the guitar. This is really the Father's love for His children.
8. After the children's service, a few of us went with Wendy to visit MRC and pastor Joseph's place. He mentioned that they started services there for about two months and have been doing a lot of home visitations, but although the people are open to let them conduct the visitations, their hearts were a bit hardened because they were relatively well to do, those people who stayed in that area, they had good jobs, they were not in lack, and they felt that they didn't need God. This was one of the points which really stirred my heart as I listened to what MRC was doing. In my heart, I was crying out, God these people who think they don't need You, that they think that they already have everything they need, they're couldn't be more wrong! The things of this world, material things, can literally be taken away from them in a day. I know, because I have been through that experience before, my marriage fell apart, I lost my job, and lost faith in the church, all so suddenly. But God, You never left me or gave up on me, and You called me back to where I should be. For this reason, I hope to go back to MRC next time. To share my testimony, that riches of this world mean nothing, what good is it to a man who gains the whole world but loses his soul?
9. On the second day, we were once again amazed at the spiritual hunger of the MHC members. While we were practicing for the P&W workshop, I didn't notice until I saw the photos later, that the members, who were mostly children and youths, were actually standing by the side, observing, watching, praising and worshipping while we conducted our practice sessions! I was quite surprised. Normally, I expected kids would be playing or running around or talking before such sessions. We told them we needed to practice, go ahead and do whatever they want. But they just observed, and then sang along when we practiced.
10. After the P&W workshop, pastor gathered all of us and brought us to the second floor of the uncompleted building. He asked us to pray that they would be able to complete the second and third floor of the church building. Many of us had either visions or a word of encouragement or prophecy for pastor and MHC, and this was the first time I dared to speak out what I felt while doing the prayer walk around the second floor. After a few confirmations from other team members, I really felt so relieved that what I shared was in accordance with their words / visions as well. It probably doesn't seem like much, but for me it is a step of faith, something which I didn't dare to do before, because I was afraid to say the wrong thing. Ironically, when I spoke to Jason about it, he told me that I don't need to be fearful or afraid of being embarrassed. Why am I afraid to be embarrassed, why not instead speak out in faith? Which is more important to God, speaking out in faith or being afraid of embarrassment? Why ironic? Because that was the other point of my sermon, of Joshua and Caleb vs the other 10 spies. They responded in faith, whereas the 10 spies responded in fear. Again, God was using my own sermon to speak to me! Really mind blown.
11. At CG2, William preached about being bold and courageous, but in the middle of his sermon he used psalms 91:1-2. What amazed me was that the children has memorised it by heart and simply started reciting the verses without even looking at the Bible!!! Wow, to me this is amazing, some of them are as young as 7 years old. Later pastor Ruth explained that she made the children memorize Psalms 23, Psalms 91 and Psalms 119, that's why they know it by heart. This convicted me deeply because of certain instructions which God gave me a while ago, regarding the word, which I have kept brushing it off or complaining that it is too difficult to do. But when I see the little children loving the Word so much, I was really super convicted, how can I say I love God when I don't treat His Word seriously? A lot of self reflection needs to be done in my life, I have been rather stubborn in certain areas, especially regarding the Word.
12. Another action which the people at CG2 did which really impacted me, was that when they saw a few of us furiously fanning ourselves while William was preaching, they moved the electric fan to blow at us, instead of using it for themselves. I mean, I was so embarrassed. The CG2 members numbered about 20+ and were squeezing together with that one electric fan, but they choose to honour us as guest speakers, and let the electric fan blow at us instead! Talk about honouring others! Immediately the verses came to mind: "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others." Philippians 2:3-4 NKJV These children were living examples of the Word, they exhibited Christlikeness so much more than me.
13. During the dinner on the second day, pastor Ruth said she wanted to speak to me specifically. I was really excited and nervous, and she prayed for me and Joan to have a baby, but to me what was more shocking, was that after that prayer she said point blank, there is a second issue which is bothering me, please tell her what it is. I was shocked beyond words. I did not tell anyone that I was a bit worried about my boss not approving my half day work during the 7 months of SOT, I just kept telling myself not to worry about it but it was still at the back of my mind. But pastor Ruth said the Holy Spirit told her there was a second issue I was having and that she wanted to pray for me. I mean, I really don't know what else I could say. Pastor Ruth could read me like a book, she was hearing so accurately from the Holy Spirit who is able to discern all things, as much as I try to hide them. After that conversation, I felt a spiritual connection with pastor. It's like something just clicked. Same for pastor Mang, as I was talking to him during lunch about the church building, asking about the costs and duration for construction, etc, I gave him an envelope of what God told me to bless MHC with. At first he didn't want to accept but after I told him that God specifically told me to bring this amount of money as seed for his church, he smiled and said thank you for your obedience. It was like he knew. After that he really opened up to me about a lot of things, and his vision for his church and members and children.
14. The next day during morning devotion, I was very glad that Jason was playing guitar so I had a chance to pray for various people, was really so encouraged when some of them told me later on that the word was very accurate, or that it was an exact confirmation of what someone else prayed for them. I was like, God, is this what it means to walk with You? I really want this to be everyday of my life, not just in the mission field! In my family, in my work place, all areas of my life, I want You to keep speaking to me like this! Then God replied, only if you chose to carry the cross and follow Him. I was confused, I thought I already did everything I could do, go for mission trip, plan to go for SOT, what else does God want? He says, that dark area of my life, He wants that. That hidden part of my heart, He wants that. My ego and pride, He wants that. Then I also asked, God why is it nobody prayed for me on this trip? At the last trip to Bali, two persons gave me a vision and a verse. But strangely after asking that question, I felt peace of God just flood my heart and mind. Yes, I got all these from that morning devotion. It was so strange, like an out of body experience, although I was worshipping and praying for people, I was like standing aside and having a conversation with God. I will never forget this experience, I'm so blessed, just so so blessed.
15. During the MHC service, I actually was nervous as I had not sufficiently reduced my sermon to 7 minutes, including interpretation. It was 7 minutes excluding the interpretation! I tried cutting out parts from it to make it shorter but it just didn't seem right whenever I cut off a part. But thank God Kenneth said at the last minute, just before I went to the pulpit, I don't need to rush, go ahead with the sermon. I felt totally at ease delivering the message, I hardly referred to the notes because I wasn't following the notes strictly anymore, I was really preaching according to what God deposited in me the past few prayer meetings and in the past two days. Just like what I told KP after my first trip, I felt like I was in my element. And what was amazing is that Tian En's testimony, Kenneth's main sermon, and my short word, it all coincided and linked up nicely, even though we didn't really coordinated the contents! I quoted from Tian En's testimony during my sermon. Kenneth quoted from my sermon during his sermon. It was like everything was coming together, pieced together perfectly according to His purpose! This brought to my remembrance the verses in Ephesians 4:1-6 yet again. We have unity and are one in Christ!
16. Next, the healing miracles and the people who kept praying in faith really impacted me. Kenneth who prayed for pastor Ruth's father who had suffered a stroke, who received healing. Wendy Ng, who identified a lady in green who had pain in her ankles and feet, and immediately gathered us to pray for her! It was a bit funny because Wendy initially asked I think Chris to pray, then she asked me to pray, then I turned to ask William to pray, like everyone was shooting the arrow around. All of us were exhausted, and to be honest, a little daunted. Then someone suggested, why not all of us go and lay hands on her together, let's all pray for that lady together! So I think about 6-7 of us went to pray for that lady, and she stood up to walk, saying the pain is much less. Looking back, I am so grateful that we did it together. Because there is power in unity, where 2 or 3 are gathered, He is there in our midst!
17. Finally, when the children prayed for us just before we left to go to the airport, wow, it was like a roar of a lion! Pastors and their children surrounded us and prayed up a storm, I could almost feel the ground shake when they prayed! I felt like God's love flowed down from heaven into them, and then onto us, like a multi-tiered waterfall, except that it wasn't inconsistent, it was constant and saturated. Felt so blessed to receive the prayers from all of them! Really felt like they ministered to us much more than we ministered to them!
18. Then at the sharing today, I felt God wrap up this trip for me finally, with the words "be prepared". Truly so excited for 2020 and SOT, so much to learn and so much time to spend with Him!
1. Reason for coming for the trip: God specifically lead me to this trip way back in Jan 2019, when wife and I went to Myanmar for a short holiday. Was praying in tongues in the car ride from the airport to the hotel when we first touched down, which to me is really weird. I've really never ever done such thing before, it almost sounds flakey.
