GOD have given First Baptist Church a priceless opportunity to help plant seeds in children's heart and as well as reach out to them, non other than through the wonderful ministry of Vacation Bible School.
Here's a short story to remind us all, even though it had been months since we're back in KL, our heavy hearts still brings us back to the family we were warmly welcome all the way in Miri.
It was on the 2nd of June, approximately 7am, at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, all 13 of us getting ready to board a plane to an unfamiliar land to help spread the word of GOD to children's hearts, although we had doubts about our ability to properly communicate, or to help Piasau Baptist Church start their first ever VBS (due to the fact that first impression counts), we trust in HIM and prepared ourselves with prayers and gave it our best.
We arrived at KLIA with a pleasant surprise. Pastor Moby was there to give us his blessings and he took the trouble to drive all the way there to pray for us before our departure. And with that alone, gave us all the confidence and courage to go ahead and make this VBS a great one.
Arriving at Miri, we were so warmly welcomed by the members of Piasau Baptist Church, and we were even brought to lunch at their home. Not forgetting the awesome laksa that we were served..Yummy.
The next 3 days were simply all fun, and we had so much fun doing what we do that we forgot all the anxieties and worries that were bugging us all the time, and praise the Lord that he gave us that opportunity to do his work, and what a fun work it was.
Skipping through the 3days of VBS, its time to say good bye, and indeed it was the hardest moment of all. Even though we left with smiles on our faces, deep down, we all agreed that it was a wonderful place to be, and a wonderful family all together. But reality kicks in, and demands that lives go on, although we are back here at our daily routines, a piece of our hearts are still there, and would forever be.
It would be great if we could all hear about the testimonies of the kids who accepted Christ through VBS Miri. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. JOHN 3:16. Since GOD have been so generously giving, shouldn't we be like that too, and through VBS, we can!
