End of MEET

Yup, today is officially the last MEET (Missions Education and Exposure Training) meeting. And considering that our batch will be the last batch for this program, it is really the last. MEET will be changed to G3 - God, Glory, Gospel.

My heart is filled with thanksgiving and I really stand in awe of Him.

Thank Him for seeing me through this year. Having to balance study and a huge commitment to this program - it was not easy, but looking back, it was really all worth it. His grace has trully, trully been sufficient. And thinking back, it was exactly the same verse my M'ca pastor gave me just before I left to study here. I think my life is trully a testimony of God's grace and goodness. Just that many times, I forget to count my blessings. We are so forgetful people... we must learn to count them one by one. Then we will realise how good God has been, will be and always is.

I thank God for the friendships made. Maureen, Shirlene and Annie. Thanks girls! I really enjoyed the time we had in throughout this MEET journey. Hope we continually keep each other accountable.

I thank God that it realligned, reconfirmed my worldview...whatever you call it. I've always been inspired by missionaries. Having gone through MEET, I learnt a lot more on missions. Too much, can't be written into words.

I guess the main challenge now for me is where do i go from here? Now that I know how missions is THE heartbeat of God and the general call for us is to go into all the world to preach the gospel... what changes am I gonna make in my life?

I hope that years down the road, I won't be caught up in the rat race of life. Building myself a career, earning tons of money...yup, these are blessings from God, but I hope that it will not become a restrain, that restircts me from obeying God's command to go serve Him in whatever way He wants me too.

So for now, as I am still settling down into working life, I pray that I will live life with a mindset that I am at God's disposal. To live a simple life, not to take too deep roots... To constantly remind myself of the greater calling God has upon our lives... to live for His glory.

Praying that I will learn to live out my testimony. So that it becomes so obvious that God lives in me. In my conduct, my speech etc.

And also to keep myself updated about missions. Am still wondering ow to go about this.

Support those in the field and Christian organisations helping out in Creative Access Nations.

I guess having Christ is so worth everything that all else is rubbish. My team just had a TBS on Paul, the making of a missionary. And doing a background study on Paul, he is trully a guy who seemed to had everything in his time. He's really there... you know what I mean. Yet, after his encounter with Christ, he was totally changed. He suffered so much for the sake of the gospel. Ended up as a prisoner. Tragic the world may think.

Also reminded of the many people who gave their lives for His sake. Jim Elloit and his 4 friends who died trying to reach out to the Aucas. Tragic, in the world's view. But see the fruit out of this event. The Aucas have now been saved.

Just pray that I will run this race well. That at the end of it, when I meet Him, He will say well done, good and faithful servant.
