Life is not the same 2
Let's talk about my recent spiritual life this time.
After being burned by my STM experience and the prayer camp in HK, I can say that my spiritual life is not the same anymore. The teachings from Meeting House and Hk church have given me a total new perspective of how I see myself as a Christian. This short term mission experience has taken me out of the box. I realized how an ambassor of Jesus Christ should be - that is to step out from church and spread and live out the Gospel, just as Jesus did. As Jesus says, "Go then, and make disciples of all nations..." (Matt 28:19). Yes, GO! I believe that this is the key to live like Jesus.
I have offered myself to God as a missionary. I do not where and when to go yet. But I know there is a long process of praying, waiting and preparing. Plus, I am also praying for D, that we will go together.
On the other hand, I am planning to go to Africia for short mission. As a feminist Christian, I am sure that my role is to serve women and children. And I know God is pleased about this, because in James 1:27 , it says "Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans and widows in their troubles, and refuse to let the world corrupt us". The reason that I have chosen Africia is that there are many children and women who are living with HIV/AIDS and have no hope in life. In a documentary shown in the Meeting House, the woman who has HIV/AIDS says her only wish before she dies is that her children can die before she does. I guess no mother on Earth would have such a wish...
By the way, Kel and I have sponsored a 3 years old kid who is found HIV+. Usually sponsoring a kid in the 3rd world countries is 35 bucks each month. And for the kids who is living in HIV/AIDS, an extra 5 dollars every month are paid for their medications and check ups.
Umm... this is pretty long.... I will continue next time.
