Project: Australia, Melbourne Campus Mission (2-21 March2008)
Name: Cheryl Tan, Year 01
Even before I went for the trip, looking at the place I’m going it looks and sounds easy. But it wasn’t so, it seems to be a first-world country that I’m going to do mission but after experiencing it, it was actually in a first-world country doing a third-word mission. So, I think one of the things that I learnt is that the importance of Prayer. This is because for myself after a few days I felt very drained out physically, emotionally and spiritually. So after reading the bible, I was reminded that I shouldn’t be leaning on my own strength but leaning on the strength on God. What I realise is that to rely on the strength of God is only through prayer, seeking the help from God. So without fail I will pray every morning and night to ask God for strength and wisdom, and also a fresh touch from heaven every single time when I seek him so that I could be a good testimony for Him for the lost souls out in the mission field.
It was also during this entire trip that my quiet time and prayer life really improved. It was no longer only quantity time spent with God but good and better quality with God.
