神很奇妙的带领，临时一个姐妹与我同行。还没去以前，因几次与这姐妹的相处不是很理想，因此我有点顾虑。我便与几个要好的姐妹分享并要求她们为我俩这次的配搭代祷。
还没出发前，我和这姐妹一起为这次的行程见面和祷告几次。我乘机告诉她冬天可能有一些不便的事，希望她不会不习惯或感觉不舒服。感谢主，她很乐意去面对和适应。
万万没想到，还没出发前一天发生了我私人一些事故，我哭了并很纳闷。真是属灵的争战呀！刚好有几个姐妹知道我要出发，她们发了一些慰问电话短讯给我，我回复请她们为我祷告，希望那件事不会影响我的心情。
还没进去登机口以前，我鼓起勇气提起我的心情，请同行的姐妹为我代祷。我们大约一点分享便又再次求神祝福这次的行程。
再次让我经历神是应允祷告的神。首先，我虽然心情沉重但一到达机场，我见到好多年没见的肢体，一切纳闷都抛到远远的。另一件神听了姐妹们的祷告是：行程结束后，我们见面分享这次行程的事。。原来这姐妹和我一样有类似的顾虑 :P， 感谢主她的回应是她很享受这次与我的同行！感谢赞美主！
原本在第一站是有一系列的主日学老师培训，人算不如天父算，最后反而是别处的枝体来出席。相信她们都有美好的学习和操练。
姐妹们陪伴去一些旅游点观光，怎知一个晕车、一个晕船。我心里对她们的难受觉得很过意不去，但又为她们的‘舍己’来感恩。虽然这样，但我们有良好的团契与交流。
因这个地方是靠海，所以有很多的海鲜，肢体的款待，餐餐有海鲜招待。我俩有一晚吃撑了，姐妹吐了一次而我则上吐（4次）下泻。感谢主，过后就没什么大碍了。
第二站，我们去探望一个曾在新加坡进修和服侍的姐妹。我们常一起吃中午和晚饭，有很多的分享、勉励、祷告的时刻。真快活呀！
第三站，我们坐火车去探望一个姐妹。第二天，她带我们去爬山。这山好陡，真不容易爬。姐妹不怎么喜欢屋外活动却很有毅力的完成整个行程，真值得表扬呀！下山更是充满挑战。这爬山的经历，让我联想我们走这个十字架的道路，有容易的时候、有艰难的时刻、有危机的阶段。。。
姐妹的母亲协助安排晚上聚会。我的作风是以查经的方式教导他们怎样自己去从圣经找精华。其中一个弟兄很坦白期盼我因是外来的可以分享很多。我只能再次强调为何我要以这样的方式带领和他们以往的聚会很不一样。因有效的不是寒鸦是的讲而是自己去挖掘更是甜蜜的。希望没令他们太失望或觉得白来了:P
最后又回到原来的一站准备回家。临时我才知道我需要分享两回，感谢主的带领和给以我没有慌的时刻。
请为：
1） 肢体学习如何靠圣灵的教导和仰望神而不是总向往我们的到来。
2） 为家庭教会的领袖能很好传讲神的道。
3） 家长如何有效教导孩子不但在学业上更是关注他们灵性的生命成长。
4） 姐妹们的婚姻（特别当中有些丈夫不信主）和信心的成长代祷。
5） 主日学老师如何教导学生更敬畏神特别他们是未来教会的接班人。
Dear all,
How have you been? How did you spend your Christmas?
The following is a sharing from my recent trip:
God's guidance is amazing, at the last minute, one sister followed me to C. Before we set off, I was rather concerned how well we can work together. This was because we had a few rather unpleasant encounters before. I shared with some sisters and request them to pray for our co-labour for this trip.
Before we set off, we met twice to pray for the trip. I took the opportunity to prepare this sister some inconvenience we might face due to cold weather. Thank God she was so willing to face it and adjusted very well.
A day before I set off, I was faced with some personal issues, I was much affected and cried to the Lord for help and grace. What a spiritual warfare! A few sisters who knew about my departure sent me sms to assure me of their prayers for me. I replied and requested them to pray that I will not be affected by the recent happening.
Before we enter the boarding gate, we had a short sharing and prayer before we set off. I took up the courage to share with her about my emotional status.
God answered prayers. Firstly, though my heart was heavy, but when I arrived there,I saw the sisters whom I had not met for years, I was just overjoyed. Throughout the trip, I was not bothered at all :) The other answered prayer : after this trip, we met and shared then i realised that this sister also was also concerned whether we could work well together. Thank God that she enjoyed the company. Praise to the Lord!
The first station, we intend to train two Sunday School teachers but they were busy with their work and ended up, three other sisters from a nearby place came to attend. Man proposes, God disposes ;) Trust that they had a wonderful time of learning and practice!
Two sisters accompanied us to a place of interest. Lo and behold, one of them had car sick and the other sea sick. I felt bad that they got to suffer while we enjoyed the sight seeing. However I was thankful for their sacrifice. Despite of that we had a good time of fellowship and sharing.
As this place was near the sea, there were lots of seafood. They treated us so well and every meal there was some kind of seafood. One night, we probably overdose of seafood, the sister vomited and I vomited 4x and diarrhea. Thank God after that night, we were fine.
Second station, we went to visit a sister who came to Singapore to study on missions and serve in our church. We met for lunch and dinner hence we had a long time of sharing, encouraging and praying together. What a wonderful and fruitful time of fellowship!
The third station, we took a train to visit a sister. The next day, she brought us to climb a steep mountain. The sister who is not keen on outdoor activity complied. Her determination and willingness to complete the whole course of climbing was commendable! Going down the mountain was indeed challenging as it was just so steep. I attached a picture to show how steep but this picture was not the steepest scene. This climbing reminded me of our faith journey, there are the smooth path, difficult path, danger path....
This sister's mom arrange for a night meeting. My style was bible study to teach them how to find pearl in the bible themselves and not lecture type. (This is because I am convinced to teach them how to fish than fish for them.) However a brother was anxious and kept wanting to hear from an overseas sharing thinking we had much more than they had. I stressed that the effective way for them to learn is not the lecturer type but the skill of how to get precious lessons from the bible themselves and through such bible study, all of us could learn from one another's views and learnt much more. I hope I did not disappoint them too much that they thought spent their time in vain.
The last station back to the first station as we prepared to fly back on Sunday. At the last moment that I realized i was supposed to share twice on Sunday. What a challenge. Thank God for granting me the calmness to take the challenge.
Please pray:
1) the believers will learn how to depend on the Holy Spirit and look to God and not too dependent on our visit to them.
2) house church leaders that they may be able to preach God's Word in His ways.
3) for Christian parents as they bring up the child in the fear of God, be more concern about their spiritual growth and not just concern about their studies.
4) sisters' marital life as many have non-believers husband. Their faith and their growth in Jesus.
5) Sunday School teacher how to teach the children as they are the future leaders of the church.
Thank you so much for labouring with me in prayers!
May you have a fruitful and blessed 2012!
God bless,
heng sau
