The gospel work in Cameron Highlands helps me to understand the difficulties and sufferings being in the work. It required three hours of car ride and another one hour plus of winding road journey in order for us to get there. After meal, we got into teams immediately and prepared to go out to fight the war. This kind of going out strengthened my will of suffering and enlarged my capacity. Although my body was weary upon returning at night, I was full of joy and vitality within. This is the first time I experienced door knocking and preaching the gospel in my life. My courage is strengthened. I depended on the Lord even more. Every household that we contacted were full of idols in different sizes. However the Lord prepared sons of peace for us. Some of them were willing to listen to our gospel preaching at the door. Through simple preaching, we sowed the seed into them. This gave way to the Lord to work in them. The Lord showed me that He wants us to labor for His gospel, to be the grain of wheat that die on the ground and bear much fruits.

Upon arrival the training center in Malaysia, firstly the Lord allowed me to experience the matter of presenting my body as a living sacrifice, holy and well pleasing to God, as this is my reasonable service. This verse enabled me to experience the sweetness of consecration during my service in the training center. In the past, I had never polished a piece of glass in this way nor had I squatted down so long to shovel the paint. In the process, although I was tired outwardly, I was full of joy inwardly. May the Lord gain my hand and my foot, to do His work and walk His pathway diligently. Thank the Lord! I can offer myself to the Lord in such a definite way. The Lord enlightened me. I should not remain in the natural understanding of “service”. I need to see that I am the living sacrifice that is to be offered to God, only to please God. I also learned the lesson of submission. In all services, I need to say amen because in all these things the Lord is in it and all these are to perfect me.
The gospel work in Cameron Highlands helped me to realize that to establish a church is not an easy thing. In God’s move there is a need of man to cooperate with Him in the principle of incarnation. This is not something that can be done on paper. It needs us to offer up our whole being to go out. Only then the Lord has a way. In the brothers’ fellowship, I was touched by their desperateness for the gospel and how much they treasure the name of Jesus. The Lord enlightened me. In one place where a tiny idol has taken root, the name of Jesus is not being made known. Oh Lord, is this because of me not doing my best and as a result the Lord’s name was neglected and His return was delayed? This causes me to be more vigorous in preaching the gospel with my companions. Apparently we didn’t seem to do anything. We only preach the name of the Lord but through this the Lord moves and gains His victory!
