Team Malaylay - Half way there!

Hello friends and family! I am so happy to say that my team and I have officially made it half way through our outreach here in Malaysia and it has been an adventure I will never forget! We have been so blessed to be able to meet so many people and speak in front of so many people. We have built strong relationships and we have impacted greatly by the sweetness of all the Malaysian people. While I could easily spend all my time writing about the entire last three weeks, I am going to just focus on our last week because when God moves as much as He has been, you don't want to miss out on all the amazing details simply because you have too many stories. So! In the last week we have been many places and have seen and heard many amazing things! At the beginning of the week we were told that we would be spending most of the week in a village helping out on their farms and then during the weekend helping out with church. However, because of certain happenings, our plans changed and we didn't end up going to the village. So for the week we were waking up and spending our mornings praying and talking with God, asking Him what it is He wanted us to do for that specific day. So the first day we spent time doing evangelism in the city. The second day we did a lot of interceding for Kuching in the park that is right outside our house. Most of the week was actually spent interceding and praying for the people all around us. It was not only a good time for getting pictures and words for Kuching, but during this week we actually grew a LOT more as a team. We were getting words for each other and we were able to witness God heal a twisted ankle on our team in an instant! We then spent an evening in the park handing out homemade cookies and building local relationships with our neighbors. And i was very excited because for the first time in a long time I was able to take this time to do some prophetic art work in the park. God's inspiration is irreplaceable. The on Friday we as team decided that we should split up into our evangelism partners for the day and do whatever it is God was calling us to do for the day. So Austin (my evangelism partner) and I were praying and he felt like God showed him a pictures of a wedding and/or a celebration of some sort that we were going to be a part of. So w chose to walk out in faith, we got dressed up and set out for Friendship Park just to see what God had in store. During this day we did not find any celebrations but what we did end up doing wound up being very powerful and rewarding. We were able to spend the day praying over and blessing the whole park. We were able to speak truth out over the whole park as well as sing worship songs throughout the park. It was such an amazing day. It was beautiful seeing God's glory on earth :) Then on Saturday we went to a village where we met some locals and spent the evening in someone's home. We were able to have fellowship with them, they fed us more food than I have ever had in my life! And I was able to share a testimony while Austin shared a short message. It was a wonderful time of making relationships. THEN SOMETHING CRAZY AWESOME HAPPENED!!! The people who were hosting us that evening told us there was a wedding going on up the street and we were welcome to join!!!! SO WE WENT TO A WEDDING! Just like God told Austin we would do the previous day! Needless to say I was super pumped! God works in amazing ways and it was so encouraging! After the wedding we went back to the church we were sleeping in for the night. The next morning we were able to walk to a waterfall in the morning and we got to have our morning quiet time surrounded by God's glorious creation! We then went back to the church and were fed even more food for breakfast! Followed by the church service led by Eliza who shared a testimony and Lisanne who shared a message. After the service we had MORE food at their church's potluck! (we got rather fat this weekend ;]) And after we said goodbye to most of the village people, us and some of our new friends went back to the waterfall where we jumped around and had an adventure in the rocks p stream. It was so beautiful and so much fun! Until I biffed it in the water fall while still in my church clothing! WOO! It was fun anyway though! Once our time in the village was finished we headed back to base and then prepared for a night at a youth group. They asked if my friend Shannon and I would share the message for the night. They told us it would be at a youth group in someone's house with probably around 20 people. It wound up being in a boarding school with over 150 students. THAT WAS AN ADVENTURE! But we did it and God allowed us to make amazing friendships with the students. It was a blessed time and an amazing way to end our half way mark of outreach! And now this week we are already busy every single day and so ready to see God continue to move in and through the people of Kuching! Some specific prayer request to think about whenever you can: 1. The missing airplane and that entire situation. It is heart breaking and even though we have seen some miracles even in this situation, the families of those lost still need the comfort and help of the Lord. 2. Pray for a gal names Adaliene. She is so close to coming into salvation with the Lord. She asking so many questions and starting to talk to God for herself. Pray that she makes that commitment! and 3. Pray for my friend Shannon's and I closest Malaysian friend Kelvin. He is such an amazing guy and we love spending time with him even when he at work. Pray for good rest for him and for him to be able to the glory of our mighty Lord. =] Thank you all SO much for your prayers and support!!! I ask for that to continue! Also be in prayer for all the teams that are preparing to fly back to Australia in just a few weeks. Pray for safe travels and favor in the airports. We all readlly appreciate it! AND KEEP AN EYE OPEN FOR NEXT WEEK! My team should have another video update going up around Monday!!! I love you and all and will update once more before heading back to Australia! Thank you all! Blessings! -Christianna!
