Hee :) i am back from LC!!! Totally refreshed, ministered, renewed and blessed by the time there. Really thank God for allowing me to be there man.... after i came back i was fully tested and challenged. Seems like God sent me there to be prepared for more challenges and things :) but no worries manzz... i m hanging on high... hahha :)

Summary of some things that God spoke to me:
1) god reminded me of His amazing grace and His love for me. I saw a vision of an unblemished sheep and tt's me :) god forgave me of everything and tt in Him i am truly made new and cleanse through His blood. Though i ve many sins in my life, but in Christ i am unblemished! and this is something to be rejoiced for :)
2) i was totally touched and overwhelmed by the extent of God's love for me and His power through a healing rally whereby the pastors prayed and laid hands on the ppl who ve prob with hearing. When i saw tt sight i just kept crying and crying.. couldn't help it cause too overwhelmed by the extent of God's grace, love and His amazing power! it was a powerful sight, a sight tt i ll never forget and the emotions tt filled me.
3) Felt God's annointing upon me and His blessings upon me when i asked from God and tt He has filled me with His wisdom and blessed me to do greater things for Him and to prepare me of the things to come.
4) god also spoke to me abt gg missions to Africa which He spoke to me three times while i was there and i was so overwhelmed by the visions tt God has revealed to me. So now is about working towards gg africa and preparing myself. planning to go 5 yrs later after i clear my bond. some of the things tt i need to equip myself is a new lang (french) and driving skills. Need to also save up money for my family and start dropping hints to them :0 hahahah :)
5)God also placed a burden in me about the uni group and ministry that the harvest is plentiful but the workers are so few.... God showed me a vision of NUS being filled with ppl who are so far from Him and God wants to give this ground to us... the hope people. i am not sure how God wants me to response but i ve a burden for the people here... still need to pray thru to hear more directions from God.
6) God also confirmed by gift of evangelism and how i could use it further to advance His kingdom. Now is about imparting to people and training people to ve personal evangelism skills such that they are not bounded by fears but are able to evangelise on their own. Gg to start with ppl from my cg first but feel a bit lost of direction, so need to pray more and seek for God to guide me in this too...
7) God also spoke to me about building my spiritual life and my r/s with Him strong and i mean really strong. Be faithful in spending time with Him and growing my inner being and my inner strength that comes from God. Though outwardly i may seem like a weak girl with not much abilities or capabilities but what matters is my inner man and spirit which i should really keep it strong and build it up. Especially when i m planning to go for missions, it is not easy to do church planting in a foreign land and i need to take these few yrs to grow my foundation such tt it is deeply rooted on solid ground.
8) the topic of the lc was on indigenous church and though it was more of a global aspect of church planting. But i could relate it to the cg and to the ppl that i am taking care of. Its about indigenous and contextualisation. Knowing the ppl who are receiving the teachings and word, understanding their needs and then dispensing the gospel and teachings to them in a way that they can best receive and understand. Not based on what we see and expect, but looking and understanding them thru the eyes of God and speaking to them the way Jesus would have. I used to use a one method kill all and teach all to build disciples but this is wrong and not the best. So need to be flexible, while retaining the content of the teachings and ensure that they are biblical, i need to improve on the methods. Not just creative methods but methods that ppl can swallow and best internalise them.

Blessings:
1) blessed by the brothers and sisters in hongkong, got to know some of them and they shared their lives too. Blessed by their spirit of love and giving and sacrifice. Blessed by janelle who initiated the intention to visit by grandma with the intention of sharing the gospel to her... so blessed :)
2) blessed by the time and fun and fellowship i ve with the brothers and sisters from the nyc and yp group. had so much fun with serene and so glad to find someone with the same frequency with me... haha :) Really glad to ve a chance to interact with her. Got to know some of the sisters more too and it was interesting to hear about their life and growth in christ and some of their struggles and how they overcame them.
3) blessed by the time with David. though only interacted with him briefly and most of the time was talking crap and jokes... hahah :) there were some moments where i got a taste of his depth in thoughts and the wisdom he has... its really amazing manz... there was one occasion whereby i was sharing about something and instead of answering my qns, he asked me back some more qns which got me thinking more. interesting fella who is super lame... but dun judge a book by its cover wo... he's a man with God's wisdom and a deep mind.


Aftermath: back to reality after the trip
1) Really felt God's anointing upon me and feel refreshed, feels like nothing can stand in my way anymore :) i am more certain of what i am doing and the things that God has called me to do.
2) i am more triggered to think much more and using different approaches on people, thinking about ppl's needs and understanding them before dispensing solutions and reacting.
3) more serious about my r/s with God now and has a greater desire to grow my inner strength and to know God a deeper level through the WOG. Now, i am doing book by book bible study whereby i ll analyse each book and meditate on each chapter while journaling the thoughts and research down.
4) Faced with new challenges wen i came back: sheeps, fyp.... (but no worries man... hehe... i am going to trust God with all these. Committing all of them in prayer to God and finding strength and peace thru Him)


Conclusion:
Really thank God for this wonderful trip :) Cant wait for the next one and this is the first time i ve so much fun in fellowship. Cant wait to go for the next one... in the meantime, whatever God has spoken to me has been written down in smartphone and also on my heart... believe this is sufficient to last me thru till my next retreat :) hahah....i m so glad i went.
