Going to the nations

In the 1st year of HGC, 1994, the Lord showed us at a prayer meeting a vision of a world map with arrows shooting out from Malaysia and He said, "My people in Malaysia (and from this church) will go out into the nations and be a blessing"

Since then we have been going out into the nations. I would like to record here the trips that I have personally taken with the church since then.

Looking back these trips have transformed my life and the life of the church.

Only eternity will tell the kind the impact and fruits these trips have borne. To HIM alone be all THE GLORY

A trip to Melboure with Ps TT Quah for holiday with some ministry. I was blessed to preach in the church I was baptised in in 1979 -the Swanston Street Church of Christ.

I studied in Melbourne from 1977 till 1983 and completed B Arch.

The Lord spoke to me in one of the trips that to take a yearly 7 days missions trip would be like keeping a modern day feast of the Tabernacles. In 7 days you keep your eyes on the Lord and on the harvests. And your realise that you are a pilgrim on earth.

For those who have not been on a foreign mission trip may I encourage you to make it one of your main goals to go. To India or Philippines or Bangladesh and our latest focus to Sarawak.

GO THEREFORE AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO ALL THE NATIONS!
