You're listening to a message to go from axt church.
-
We hope this message will light up your day.
-
I like to start by showing us statistics nowhere actually
-
running nigger it because statistics is you know, done out
-
of a pool of data collection. Right, it's.
-
Just a just a socia and.
-
Data is collected, so that once you come out with
-
the statistics, the numbers should tell us a story. So
-
next is a shi tm jow social right hold around
-
way around Okay, that is here is why. So today
-
you know I want to just help us, you know,
-
align uh and and that's also my title for today's
-
message as well. So you don't think you know what
-
the since the two tea should we have heard?
-
You know?
-
I think the past weeks, you know, different ones sharing
-
about you know the heart of missions and the missions feel.
-
But today, you know, I want us to now shift
-
our mind from missions fuel to becoming the missions forces.
-
So around that.
-
Can change change those of you are in the marvel like, okay,
-
all the Avengers and calling all you guys together now
-
and let's be a foce.
-
Okay, okay, so some statistics for us. Let's look at
-
the slides. Can't the suji. So I'm gonna show us
-
the different major religions in the world and they are
-
people groups.
-
Okay, this is statistics as of this year. So okay,
-
put on the don suji so we can see. You know,
-
the first religion, which is Islam, so you can can Tigers,
-
there are one point nine billion Muslims worldwide. Sisters then
-
Bai and it's represented in four thousand people groups. Taman
-
Sians eager.
-
What people groups are? You tell? So people groups?
-
Okay, So if I look across here now in this room,
-
you take the lit so I'll start. Okay with the
-
Chinese because I know the Chinese the most. Okay with
-
Chinese itself. There are different people groups within the Chinese.
-
You're put on the two trees.
-
I represent the Hocken group.
-
Anyone here from the Cantonese group, any Hakka group here,
-
any food group here food so they so you can see.
-
And then you know we have you know, Japan another
-
people group, and Japan itself you have different tribes, right,
-
no tie you put on the two trees.
-
And India you know there's different tribes represented into it.
-
You'll put on the two trees.
-
And we always think you know Africa is a country.
-
Amazing easy erase so Fatalia, but it's not. You know, Africa,
-
Africa the continent continent itself has many, many countries because
-
fatal eager put on the African brothers. How many countries
-
are there in Africaia? Fifty two countries. How many tribes
-
are there? You don't know how many language groups are there?
-
I don't know, Yeah, hundreds, I think it could be
-
a thousand or so as well. Right, it's a sanction.
-
So that is what people group is, all right, not
-
just the next one.
-
The next one is three thousand, four hundred and sixty two.
-
What is that number in UPG sancience? So UPG is
-
actually unriched people group Jesus answers so to usk Christians
-
or what unriched people group means sweet out said system
-
is in simple explanation, is basically the for example, Uh
-
the Hakka people, they do not have the Bible in
-
their language Jubau Tama mil Kurdia and the negative meaning
-
there's no even Christian words or dragons on uh in
-
Hakka ici k the downto. So hence this group of
-
Haka speaking people becomes the unriched people in the kurjau
-
u k eager me so, but I'm just giving an example. Hakka,
-
I'm sure there's the gospel in the language already.
-
That way something.
-
Kurja Taman City, so Islam represents twenty four point eight
-
percent of the world population sat and trained children su
-
the towns on island Hamajutan and and in Malaysia itself
-
is sixteen nine percent. So passing, okay, all right, Moving
-
on Buddhism. Yeah, I forget changed. That is five hundred
-
and five million, okay, forget all the other digits had
-
five million people.
-
You uga eat and they are in six six six
-
paper crooks tell you by using.
-
The number okay uh and then five hundred and eleven
-
and riched people eager to shootout the tree. So that
-
would mean that there are for example, they have reached
-
the five on one people before the Christians sweet are
-
reaching them just to have one hiyo so meaning right,
-
So for example, there are people who are Buddhists that
-
the Christians have not reached. So the Buddhists have reached
-
five hundred and eleven and rich people the Christians have
-
not just on a high meal they shoot out easy
-
by eager to tinder.
-
Then they contribute to six point three percent. Okay, next like.
-
Okay, animism animistic Basically they don't have a god in
-
a way a spiritual higher power being that they worship,
-
but they worship like objects.
-
So it's just one just on the time and just
-
a meal.
-
Son either the candles don't see that treating by can
-
be the star, the moon, the tree, lay on cases,
-
singing cases, the don't see.
-
The chair, the table, the car, the cat, whatever. Yeah,
-
so any objects that they're fine.
-
Thing.
-
Bye.
-
Okay, So that's seven hundred eight million people.
-
Down on che didn't at least by eager.
-
They contribute to nine point two percent of the people
-
of the war.
-
I change the towns of tament A basin. Next Hinuism
-
one point one point two billion eating and they are
-
fifteen point one percent of the world population. Then change
-
to so then e bass in China, don't go one
-
point eight billion eating bay either. That's a lot white
-
China itself is Uh, they're not actually a religion.
-
But because they are not religious, so.
-
We don't want to be answers, don't go, don't go,
-
don't go. So they believe in Confucianism in teaching sound
-
singer don't see. So even if Buddhism we always think,
-
you know, Buddhism is taped to the Chinese.
-
For Jim Horn. So the China Chinese.
-
People are just food on teaching that might be other
-
religious present. But if they become too devoted the religion,
-
then generally the government close them down because you don't go.
-
So that's the point one point eight billion. Okay, Uh,
-
next life. So we're looking at the Christians now, so
-
saying that you can do so for Christians, we are
-
at two point five billion worldwide Christians sugar, so praise
-
God remaining we remained the largest.
-
Religion in the world.
-
You hazard your to door and shooter, but also very
-
very close.
-
Uh, it's not because it's the.
-
Face and cuting.
-
And I can talk a little bit more about Christians
-
because I know where.
-
Difference. Actually, majority of the numbers are contributed by the Catholics.
-
Even her daughters leases you when the team and she yoded.
-
And we do know that a lot of Christians they
-
are just Christian by name paper, but they are not revived,
-
They are not practicing Christians.
-
It's not.
-
Just Auamhammad, juice ins and possic and all of them
-
don't even know who Jesus is and why why do
-
they have to believe in Jesus and.
-
Puts it out. So yeah, you know, ways son and
-
they Yeah, so that that's that yeah.
-
Uh.
-
And you can see the blue dots stairs. That's where
-
where the Christian populations are at.
-
Just type the digital the society defunct. So if you
-
know your world geography, you're not the more grayer areas.
-
You know, that's lacking of the gospels being rich.
-
Who is the t too?
-
The defunct just the type the defunct good?
-
So far?
-
Yeah, I like the statistics also even tell you more,
-
give you more insights as well. Digest digest on it. Okay,
-
next slide. So what you can see here is the
-
total population world population. Now so change shield the run
-
uh and these numbers goes up and down actually, so
-
you tak how much slightly? So So there's a website
-
I can't remember the name, but this number is actually
-
taken from there. The numbers every second changes on so
-
you can see the numbers keep flicking based on based
-
on birth.
-
Rate and death. So how much you can run so
-
worldwide total.
-
There are eight thousandsredary one people groups sweet change to
-
the negative. Wow, and there's six thousand that has not
-
been which no change.
-
That they do not have a gospel in the language here,
-
just hammon in the towns, the food into and the.
-
Numbers that you can see the different countries, Uh, with
-
the population of non Christians or privilevers.
-
Can just don't I say, just the food. So it's
-
in millions. For example, Nigeria's one hundred and eight million.
-
Okay eating bagger eat okay? Next slide. Uh, sorry, I
-
think it's not that number. It's wrong.
-
Let's use this that this sorry Uh. For world population,
-
Let's go to the median AH globally, right, the median
-
Do you know what median AH is? So the generally
-
world population, the largest number of people is actually below
-
thirty years old.
-
See just so, so cut down negaran.
-
So those tablets sciences way, life expectancy generally the lives
-
I don't like to use this, but life span based
-
on research and data and collection is averagely sixty seven
-
years old. So you know, just like a sushi makran ham,
-
isn't this table she tells?
-
Sway? What does this tell you?
-
If you know for us Christians. You know, God has
-
always been challenging us to reach the loss.
-
Since outside Certa a young woman. She how by being
-
a weakness for him.
-
And Wren, meaning wherever we go we try to either
-
share about Christ or live like Christ so that they
-
can the people around us can experience this love. You
-
are a woman, you told me you actually and sound fans.
-
I used the item many down sounds. So if the
-
general life expectancy world wide for a person in sixty seven, right,
-
so you go, woman, make your isn't hold the tablet
-
use But.
-
I just like qualify this. It's just general data. But
-
sometimes and most of the time, God gives us the
-
grace to live a way longer. Sushi U woman, just.
-
You know, Anti Rufia is that ninety already a little
-
hiding so she has proven this data wrong. So yeah,
-
meant a sushi p one, hints and ship.
-
So it's got grace and mercy. So it's the reason
-
that I heard. But I am just trying to paint
-
the picture slightly clear.
-
For us because sons mean by dosia so meaning rightly
-
after church today we go for lunch and we meet
-
and Anti in a coopedia and later we're gonna have
-
lunch at nineteen thirty one, Anti.
-
That you cheat out. She's so Antie and then you know,
-
you got to know Anti, and then you realize this
-
Antie has is sixty five years old. Antie has a
-
little Sue.
-
So based on this data and take the su probably
-
probably you know, no, probably she has two years left?
-
Long? How long? And then what happens?
-
You know, God has caught us to know that means, right,
-
we might not meet her again. Probably you know, she
-
just come and magn and then she goes because she
-
doesn't have a stallter.
-
You know, it's you know, have to go and that
-
should lead us. And stirs like, hey, you know, since
-
God has brought her along my way, let me be
-
cries to her. You when you.
-
An you eating too, I'm giving you an example. Or
-
it's again lead it and this example actually it comes
-
down to the heart of urgency because none of us
-
here has a control over tomorrow, and we don't know
-
what's gonna happen. Tomorrow may put on fast and so
-
we may not even know what's going to happen the
-
next second when they don't stas more and and you know,
-
I think recently the Mastic jam incident. Antil is just
-
nicely walking in the morning, and she didn't I'm sure
-
she didn't know that the ground is going to open
-
up and sallow her. So I put on fast and
-
so urgency. There is an urgency to be cries to
-
the people around us.
-
So WANs without the rod.
-
And if you can see on the right side, ten
-
most populous countries in the world, so use and actually,
-
you know sometimes okay we talk about missions. I want
-
to travel elsewhere to do missions. The defuntast balance yesterday
-
he said, you know it's a you know, some people
-
think it's a very romantic idea.
-
You know, I can go somewhere else and do missions.
-
Actually from US Malaysian, these nations are already at our
-
doorstep the.
-
Operation, they say, the Gorgio Justice, cunting women. And I
-
can say, right, almost half of this right, it's within
-
our reach. Countries are within our reach because they're just
-
next to us. If you see the gord Juices, clunting women. Next, Okay,
-
it's just go next. All right, I'm going to stop
-
at this a lot.
-
What's here?
-
Uh so you can see here right there are Catholics
-
and Protestants missionaries sent out, so entirely you can count out.
-
But on the our attention to the last three Okay,
-
so seventy seven percent missionaries sent out to the rich
-
wal so you can can out change so treatouteicated shootout.
-
The nineteen percent sent out to the unevangelized, treat out
-
hamil Bay first sound out for in the and three
-
point four percent to the unriched, no sunding treat I
-
say one to meal baby shootout. So basically I evangelized.
-
They already have the gospel in the language. It's just
-
that no one preached the gospel to them yet just
-
the timeazing you uh eaout you it has a million
-
like high maurion like you trying to full in Hammond.
-
What does this tell youa type cy Remember just now
-
we have six thousand unriched, bigger group. What did the
-
mag when you talk about liutenants.
-
Meaning right, there is a shortage. There is still a
-
shortage of people reaching out. So it's it's.
-
Like so you cheern like she let me give you
-
another another scenario based out this. You know that there
-
are a lot of chesches that has been you know
-
that's still planted, right.
-
Don't and what the word is what irritates me. I
-
can't give a nicer word, but what irritates me is
-
just around kun. A lot of this is planted right still,
-
it's reaching the Christians.
-
She don't.
-
Do too.
-
For example, there are a lot of.
-
Churches in the city turns to the jail way. Christians
-
are transferring church here and there, and some churches are everything.
-
Yeah there's a girl in our church.
-
Yeah, I turn sound. Then you're asking, okay, how many
-
how many people? You know, how many pre believers have
-
you reached, juvenes or ays have seen to ther Now
-
then you realize it actually not seventy percent plus eighty
-
percent of the people that are actually transferred Christians.
-
You fast down Jai table.
-
She's passing the doses. Why I say that because if
-
you look at the Christians that they sticks in Malaysia,
-
we are really really no soon don't you come on
-
mysell suit?
-
You how the due to the surface and the d
-
If I'm not wrong, you can go go search.
-
If I'm not wrong, it's about ten percent or slightly
-
that sir, you go to the tables.
-
So there's still a lot of hook to be done.
-
Just the town.
-
She don't has her daughters, and she like she because.
-
The population of Malaysia is just not Malaysians, right, just
-
as there's a lot of other countries represented. Also if
-
we put on sett on the and that she type
-
and things become more real for me, right, the whole face.
-
And when I went over to Kolorlypis to visit the
-
I p G campus, that she don't have the IPG.
-
This nally, this whole those of you who may have
-
forgotten what I shared, but I to my amazement, there's
-
only two churches in Colors.
-
No ty.
-
She so to fastened and one of the church used
-
to have a bustard. The bustard left and no word,
-
no bustards want to bustard the church?
-
No, and she turned.
-
Why do if we typing to secluded to rural, they
-
prefer to start, you know, churches in big cities just
-
that way, and she starts where you know the offering
-
is more and probably get more salary.
-
I don't know.
-
You couldn't.
-
Like she.
-
You hung out the sings.
-
And you know when Basa Canna started ex church until
-
now he has not received a salary or assent.
-
From the church. Even tell her son her the in
-
and that's the fifth step.
-
You know that he has taken that pin sing seemed
-
like she might choose.
-
Then he was also offered to.
-
Pastor church in Melbourne, not in Melbourne in Australia before
-
and good good salary.
-
Bay like she also nally and she she and you know,
-
after some time you can actually get a pr and citizen.
-
She went.
-
On educate terminally, but he turned it down because it
-
has j next like uh you know, I okay, you
-
can go to the next like let's see, okay, all right,
-
so if you look at this, right, I just want
-
to bring our attention to the last line based So
-
the studies and research is done by you know, Christian
-
Mission organization in the US.
-
So it's a young woman in sem how many women
-
to so.
-
Uh we have.
-
So generally uh I think in two twenty fourteen, that's
-
like tene years ago already, right, So it's like the
-
largest missions force that's been sent out is the young people.
-
So that the strange out sireet the in Singron, how
-
many young people all because all below one hundred years old? Right,
-
all the young people has been always leading the way
-
to go. Even when I say, and that consists of
-
twenty one million university students, they're gonna tie down too,
-
had eager the attaches how many? How many university students
-
are here today? Yeah, so you guys can be the
-
largest missions for for us. Okay, change the same phone.
-
So why am I sharing this?
-
You know some people are like, Okay, you know, is
-
it got to blame for not calling people to missions?
-
So you know which justice in Kayao treats quite just
-
a certain male cheat.
-
You know.
-
Uh, you know, God, you didn't call people out so
-
that they're not going no cry mill and she changed
-
out on the stage just now. I showed us, right, Sui,
-
we can see a really really huge difference between the
-
reality of God's going on in the missions fields strange
-
and fast and the sitting. There's so many more people
-
that needs to hear the gospel food based on you know,
-
the percentage just now kind of like the Suji, here's
-
the difference between that and the fulfillment of the great commission.
-
She wants.
-
Me because if you look at our church itself, you
-
know how many Okay, we don't send out short time missions, right,
-
we do go out for short time missions, but I
-
think that's like five.
-
A combination of day and see the strange je passing.
-
So I I I do even as for myself as
-
I always checked myself. God, you know I am am
-
I fulfilling your great commission in my life.
-
What is.
-
Time?
-
Did what so for you?
-
Like she in instantly water, how I always examined my
-
responsibility so that she kankant and my commitment to the
-
lens of gods. Will do is target or the the
-
town zone was also losing the searching activate everything?
-
Okay tenk.
-
Yeah, so uh the great commission to call okay, The
-
Great commission is a call to all soil. Chapter twenty eight,
-
verse nineteen to twenty. Can I get a volunteer to read?
-
Okay? The PC already past the mic do hell?
-
So Helena has to read m. Helena nineteen to twenty.
-
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them
-
in the name of the Father and of the Son
-
and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all
-
things that I've commanded you, and I am with you always, even.
-
To the ends of the age.
-
A man whom and told them went to fum foods
-
is serding them in gammon sushi. If I was front
-
so you chineemorial. So there's nothing more clearer than this already,
-
she tells Sumi high like the ganjadatu see gajada change
-
and the Great Commission is as clear. And this is
-
what Jesus commanded all his followers to do. Two years
-
country had mental she's singer. Yeah, the first start to
-
with gore not gonna just a cheat. I think if
-
I you know, gonna write it in my version, right,
-
it's gonna be goal with an exclamation, Braggie, just a cheat,
-
damiel is.
-
Is it.
-
Good?
-
Try all right?
-
Uh?
-
And and the different languages that you can think of,
-
go all right? Just then put on the een just
-
a cheat so we can see her. You know this
-
command it is not a suggestion, So okay, canna because
-
if it's a suggestion that you starting, maybe if you
-
go and make disciples.
-
Cheat patrement to could you please?
-
You know, it's not a suggestion music only, but it
-
is a mandate because Ego single hui so and and
-
it is it's a strong urge for all of us
-
to be part of a global mission. So it has
-
an eager gay Roman sour and ego Ego treat on woman,
-
migrant eleutrition.
-
Young, Let's see what the Bible says.
-
Uh further al right, so man, mean, let's turn to
-
brotherst Chapter three, verse twenty seven. She can't signs down
-
as a CD.
-
Next person can read it when you're dad initial royal ChIL.
-
Child in the don't before good from those to whom
-
it is still when it is in the power of
-
your hand to do so. Okay, we are called to
-
act with generosity just so many ba ho eager conkiteron
-
and not just be generous, but to be radically generous.
-
Kanka Why radical because it takes us to prioritize others
-
needs before ours by the kan kai male but t
-
tarrant like she founds that woman assotion and in the context,
-
it's the people that have yet to be rich, you
-
united woman, and that if we have trying to get
-
tarmentaran a lot of times right unknowingly we may find
-
ourselves just holding and holding back our majority of our resources.
-
So no, those are major, So younger, you know it's
-
so and very little it's being channeled towards the missions field. No,
-
no turns out young you know, like she bat sample
-
take a change out and why you know, why do
-
we need to channel to the missions field?
-
No ways a moment.
-
And so shot change out the gonz Let's look at
-
Romans chapter ten, verse fourteen to fifteen. She can't say
-
so out suit yeah, and now the volunteer can read it.
-
Loma soua run a run a run wait sinta tana
-
wait s rod mao from rooting some staf in singer Taman?
-
How then shall they call on him in whom they
-
have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him
-
of whom they have not heard? And how shall they
-
hear without a picture? And how shall they preach unless
-
they are sent? And it is written, how beulifore the
-
feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace, who
-
bring great tidings of good things?
-
Amen?
-
All right, so you can see her Ah, We're like, okay,
-
you know, God, we are aware that a lot of
-
people have not.
-
Heard of the gospel. So it's really fasten also full in.
-
But how can they hear if no one tells them
-
about the gospel?
-
Right because the tap mill and that she's trying Tama.
-
And if they can't hear, how can they believe?
-
So you Hammam, tinging. Yeah, so you know, church, it's
-
a time and a call for action rama migrandoya sing.
-
Don't you like because I talk about being a missions foss.
-
Sing a strange.
-
And and it takes radicality, being radical to do that.
-
Just so woman, just a woman paining tan ban the
-
nights on the scene like your change out and what
-
areas can we be a missions FOSSi settlem okay, like
-
she's down.
-
Now let's look at James chatter five, verse sixteen.
-
Now Sue diang, next person can read it James chapter five,
-
verse sixteen.
-
James chapter five, verse sixteen. Confess your confess your trespasses
-
to one another, and pray for one another that you
-
may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of righteous man
-
avails much.
-
Yeah, because even fatherly all right, thank you?
-
So the fosse uh, you know, a major force based
-
on the first mind is the first for prayer teat
-
just to cheat that, so I said, you know we
-
can be holding even in the time our time, and
-
and prayer requires time.
-
Right, so.
-
Even before you know, we go or you know, go
-
to the ends of the earth to reach people, reach
-
the ones and adult step you know it can actually
-
start with prayer. So case. So prayers can be very
-
crucial for two things. So when.
-
One is to ask God to send laborers and I say,
-
gay women, send laborers to the Harveards field, to reach
-
the Harvards.
-
Field and type the phone showlder d D.
-
Or the second one, our prayer actually can be used
-
to ask God, God, can I be the answer?
-
No?
-
No, just a woman.
-
Just urbans and so it was okay, and God, I
-
want to be the answer and prepare me God, how Yeah,
-
so that's the first time prayer. Second is from Second Corinthians,
-
chapter nine, verse seven.
-
So he just sat down CD.
-

Either susan sociidd, so do consider to give your financial

That's why we have missions pledge at least done once,

In all different ways that different ones of you can
-
get involved emissions.
-
So you just know you're like she.

She that time you change downtown for families couple, you
-
can actually consider to do it together as a family.
-
Yea is she?

-
And we have short trips all year around, and but
-
we have the long trips as well, which is the
-
yeah emissions that we announced earlier. You know me it's
-
tang the neggat change juices and ways. And I would
-
like to share even this saying by Claude Hegeman nowhere
-
else like eager and Claude Harman has sold you.
-
So he stays reaching the world with the gospel. It's
-
not a resource problem, but it's a mobilization plan.
-
And also food.
-
Sounds like a wun suit like she type.
-
I am really really glad that X Church does not
-
have this problem.
-
The mobilizing elemen, I tell her Wine, So X Church,
-
we provide a lot of platforms, and you know we
-
are encouraging, you know, the whole church to go out.
-
It's a it's a shut even as you share the
-
word as well, it's always to stir and and and
-
bring even almost like awareness.
-
You know.
-
It's things you think that, hey, you know, the word
-
is plentiful, but we can be the answer, the home and.
-
Underrooing.
-
God gave us even the idea and a mandate to
-
to to hit up the revel movement is also that
-
as all the mobilization to say eager fun fact. So
-
I'm really glad that extra our vision is that and
-
and it has been that, so I can say anyway,
-
woman the years since I and.
-
Our theme until twenty thirty is towards the finishing line.
-
No like.
-
The negative something and we want to see.
-
That the whole world will be filled with the glory
-
of the lot and so that all men know him.
-
No can't down just a maagor and like children.
-
And I'm going to end with this story.
-
Wa here actually here and and you know, I need
-
to share because it is a personal missions to me.
-
Often you have to cigar girl in the strange ye.
-
So back in I can't remember when was so some
-
time ago, you know actually live we heard that, hey,
-
you know there's going to be a new university coming out.
-
It's called Salmon UNI. So that saw you it can
-
in attached and as the church, we went to the
-
land to pray and the time was still an OI
-
pop partation. No, but we're praying faith.
-
And then the.
-
University came up and this is like a portion of it.
-
It looks really amazing face on the tallest point there.
-
The building is actually the whole whole building is just
-
the library cannot out the negative justice. So many of
-
our seven union students, their feast contributed to.
-
Food is food.
-
So when the union came up, because I've been and
-
still am very involved and you know in the campus
-
into university, you know, and I put I always look
-
for opportunities to break grounds.
-
You put on you here she because I believe I'm
-
very clear that this is my colleague.
-
It was.
-
The hotel so UNI came out. I shared with the
-
NILAI leadership team.
-
So it down, so down salmons like you can the sounds,
-
and I told them I want to start homes just
-
for this unique students wait the Salmon and they're like, okay,
-
you can go and plan on homes. So she tried,
-
don't to the chatting cell to Bud, but then I
-
was sent out the planet hosts a lot. No, no
-
she paid the type she eager and that she don't because.
-
We did not have enough. We did not have enough leaders.
-
Number one sou a male to go the link show
-
and number two nobody want to follow me. But anyways,
-
I went out to plant and this this picture that
-
we took here is.
-
Our second homes together to the so and not a
-
part time. We didn't even have a venue. So almost
-
every home she made and McDonald's.
-
Down so much when run her so it might down
-
loud like she and home spot allowed that to happen.
-
No so down, so home Sport has got the challenge.
-
He had to talk like the thing. Then after that,
-
you know, we got to know Salmon staff and allow
-
us to start using the meeting room and office to
-
to meet not.
-
So go on Salmon and the and the grew the
-
cells audio turn down. You just slightly pausing this picture
-
for on later.
-
So I wanted to put this picture because this home
-
itself was a significant turning point for me. No singing
-
me to the cells, swimming downst you get to us,
-
because uh, this was the homes that the homes the
-
homies came up to me. Any the chatting cell to
-
go you can sell to turn you you like that
-
was the meanting. And as a host leader, when need
-
to play a bustoryal role as all right, chatting cell to.
-
You.
-
So she came out to me. She started crying. I'm like, okay,
-
I had to like that. What the meanting? It's cool,
-
it's a cool can start sharing and she started sharing
-
in man, how you gonna only cariend? Are you a mo?
-
I don't understand?
-
And she was like, god, I don't understand single thing.
-
Sorry to stop her. I like wait now you stopped ring. First,
-
I got pull a translator anything or she can fund
-
you and like, I'm like shell you again. So she sad,
-
she shad your friend. She cried, I had to cool.
-
Then she had to stop because the translator had to
-
translate to me in English.
-
Is fine, so has your teams?
-
So cool? Is that that I shared back in English,
-
saying your.
-
England, that's a whole translated the Mandarin you down.
-
She don't were yet. Then she continued crying. She cool
-
that I got cannot this cannot, this cannot happening, and
-
putt and tan to you.
-
Because I know God you want to reach every single people.
-
Grows like she hotly, how can I meanister to my home?
-
Is that we don't even understand each other now like
-
she and younger that she bound.
-
So I was struggling. We've got growing up in Penite.
-
I wasn't exposed to mandriining, soho one chien?
-
Who are used?
-
Because my family we speak English at home, no chatting
-
mister England and hocken. Okay, So how is my mom's
-
mother that English? Is my that's mother tongue as well
-
in a way because he is a so he's she
-
speaks with the family. We were footing the movies, Mama movies.
-
So they sent me to a major speaking kin kindergarten.
-
I was young.
-
In hopes that I will pick up manjing. Okay. So
-
I was in the kindergarten for a month. You you,
-
I was super traumatized.
-
Because you know, I was like three years plus, three
-
years old plus, and the memorians still start with me,
-
you know, because it was a trauma then for me,
-
you know that don't.
-
Go to school.
-
Everybody speak manry and you don't you know fast every
-
day I go home and cryers like I don't go
-
to borrow. You're meeting without cool.
-
And I made all the aliens they always speak alien language.
-
Why in the wir? So since then, right? I? God
-
didn't reveal that memory until.
-
One of the homies right that day after that went No,
-
I really really pondered and digested and got.
-
Revealed that.
-
Meting cooler.
-
So the war I have been rejecting anything that has
-
to do with mendring, so someone don't see at the
-
back of my memory satown.
-
But then God immediately told me I wanted to reach
-
these papers hunting so your children.
-
So immediately that became a missions film. So change out
-
the E and she so so and so you know
-
you can go to the next picture.
-
Uh, the next one. First, sorry, God brought a call
-
team together.
-
You want to go the negative.
-
So as I saw, God brought in the laborers in church.
-
The next one of the bus. So we had we
-
had the moon cake. Uh, kind of festival, but which
-
was evangelistic in nature.
-
In sub so many you can just and God brought
-
bus lots.
-
This is like we just want to be I think
-
that that time, the first one, there was two bus
-
lots of men, drinks speaking, people.
-
Travel all the way to Subank and so it's a
-
lot of them. You know, got to know Christ like,
-
guess what the next challenge? God challenged me. Now, I
-
want you to share with the leadership team on Near You.
-
Want to say Teltan to go down so well.
-
Nelnk the ton.
-
And to start a bilingal worship service in their life,
-
just a seker song with you. It was a struggle
-
again we've got saying God you already. It was so
-
hard to reach this girl of people. Okay, great enough
-
face a lot. You brought the people in the un
-
consist in thlight.
-
But to start a biling worship service. It will change
-
the dynamics of church because you don't you hate the
-
negar but if you want but if you want to lot,
-
then so be it. So because it was.
-
So yes, I brought it up to the leadership of
-
Near Neil the single Ton and what was the response negative?
-
Who you know now you know we have bilingal worship
-
service here. They the song you hate, and you know
-
Elisha is a by product of that. Ye years, you
-
know many speaking leaders here is a by product of
-
our bilingual service.
-
So when the Nina show those woman's song, you hate
-
the c and really praise God for that.
-
But when I brought this idea after the leadership to wow,
-
face opposition to a partic the like she died gating.
-
So just you put on the eating.
-
You know, you're thought like, oh wow, we're all Christians.
-
We had for the loss, right, but because it's going
-
to be a change of things, understandable, but face opposition
-
soon the time gown on, you get put on the
-
eating and I felt so so discouraged that down.
-
So you face on who God is your fault? You
-
just bring this up. Now have to face another challenge
-
like certainly teacher meant eat mean the and God, I thought,
-
you know your leaders don't understand, but since.
-
Like not really, so if you need a link should
-
mean bad can't And it's already it's a huge challenge
-
for me to come up from my comfort zone really
-
to pick up a new language.
-
God, I sign up for mantoring classes. Do you want more?
-
You want to do now to face this challenge? What
-
I mean to do?
-
So a lot of times I went up the aditionally
-
to share the struggle and cry in front of her,
-
like why am I crying for these people group I've
-
called aliens?
-
Actually mentioned you got friend.
-
So it was.
-
Moving to the two children a little late, and then
-
God showed me is because they have become your own.
-
Listen to something your any contens.
