Our first international ministry point done and dusted. Malaysia with its rich culture variety really opened our minds toward a broader picture of the world we live in and the green team has been so blessed throughout the week and a half we have spent here. God proves time and again that His plan for us is way better than what we could ever imagine!
Having fun with the PCC kids!

How blessed are we to minister at our first ministry point? It is an absolute privilege to go out into the nations as ambassadors for Jesus and to see how He moves. Going out into the unknown was both exciting and nerve wracking, but we learned if you have no expectations you won’t have any disappointments! Arriving at our new Missions House, the smell of a home cooked meal welcomed us. We were blessed with beds and warm showers after our two day travel. Isn’t God wonderful?
For the next 5 days the team dove straight into work. Many empty paint cans and dirty brushes later, the...
