Closing thoughts

Thank you for all your prayers and support for this trip (if indeed anyone still reads this blog!) It was a fantastic experience, and I was greatly priveliged to be able to go. I learnt much about Christian ministry, Malaysian culture, myself, and what it means to serve others.

The flight home passed without any difficulties - it was a relief to see the family again but still quite sad to have left all the people we met and food we ate behind. The only remnant of Malaysia in our kitchen at the moment is a few sachets of the notorious Kopi!

The second guest dinner that I mentioned in the last post went very well. Attendance was good and Sam spoke clearly. I had a chat with a non-Christian but (yet again) he had to leave early. We pray that God may grow these seeds that have been planted.

On the last day we had a meeting together to talk about how the trip had gone, and who Mark, Chris and Andrew need to focus on in terms of meeting-up and discipleship. This provided yet further proof of the perceived importance of this type of meeting, and pray that these will spring up amongst the OICCU fairly soon.

What did I enjoy about Malaysia:
- the food (excellent quality & cheap prices)
- the people (very friendly, albeit difficult to talk to sometimes)
- our team (endless banter, they were all a good laugh)
- Kuala Lumpur (despite the haze, a lovely city)
- the countless opportunities we had to serve Jesus Christ

What didn't I enjoy:
Honestly can't think of anything. It was hard work but you've got to expect that.

Highlight: Holiday club or visit to Tasik Chini

Would I go back: Yes (if asked)

There we go. Thanks again.
