Dumela!

Dumela!
That's the greeting in Botswana and I was told Southern Africa too

Hi, my name is Kuan Cheen, and I am from CY1, CY4 and GC1 Homes!

Thanks for all the prayers and support for Acts Botswana, by the grace of God, we had not just planted a church in Africa, but I believe that we also planted a seed for God to work a greater work in Africa.
Let's continue to sow in our support and prayers. Pray for wisdom, guidance, provision and protection for the team back in Botswana, which is led by Nnete.
Pray for a God-led Transformation in Botswana, for her people and the nations around her.

Praise God for His love for us.
Praise God for His love for the people of Africa.

I'm here today to testify about His goodness, His faithfulness and His unchanging love.
He is a promise keeping God
We might forget about the promise He made to us, but He never forgets.
We might forget about the promise we made to Him, but He never forgets.
He is a promise keeping God.
And if you are from Southern Africa, you might go
"Eish!"
But I will stick with Praise the Lord!

It's true when God say that He know the plans for us even before we are born.
He sets us apart and He has a plan for us, a plan which is much bigger then our own.

Before I knew Him, I was seeking for the answer to life, but apparently the Answer sought me first and found me first.
He planned the day I would have met Him, He presented the choice for me to follow Him.
From that day, I gave my life to Him, I have gained a hope and a future.

It's the beginning of my new "Semester" in my life.
I have learned and still learning to love Him and to love others.
Learning to trust Him, to be patience and to be obedience.

And it was through one of the "class" trips that God shown me He love, His love for His people, He compassion, He zealousness and jealousness for us.
It was my first ever mission trip, through a mission organisation which I joined when I was in my previous church.

Then through a friend, I was invited to the 2nd First Priority Conference that Acts held. It was when Acts still meeting at the Hub.

And the stirring for mission grew, which eventually led me to attend Acts.

And it was during the First, correctly if I'm wrong Pastor, the First First Priority Conference which was held at the Summit, I responded to the call to be sent out to missions.
I didn't know where, I didn't know how, and I didn't know when.
All I know at that time, I was compelled to make His love known.
He is our Father, and our King.
He has prepared His great Kingdom for us and He wants if not all to be a part of His Kingdom.

I have learned to trust on His timing is perfect and His will.
I have also learned God is always molding us, preparing us whether we realise it or not.
No step too small, No task too mundane, nothing is accidental, it is an on going process.
I am learning to be faithful with the small things, and giving my best in all I do.
I hold on to Jesus' words in Matthew 6:33. Seeking first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Where ever I was, I took it upon me that, that was the mission field that He called me to be in.
Whether it was Subang Jaya, Nilai, Cyberjaya, Millenium or Desaria.
Or whether it was with the Kids, Teens, Campus or YWA.
Wherever He was sending me, I will go and I will give my best.
To love, to care, to encourage, to build up and to train, the people I had the priviledge to meet.

I never have thought that one day that I would have been to Africa.

But I stand here today as a testimony of His goodness, His faithfulness and His unchanging love.
We might have forgetten but God never forgets.

I have totally forgotten about what happened in that First Priority Conference, until Pr. Sandra have to remind me during one prayer service before we went to Botswana about it.
It is really amazing how He interwines all the events together according to His plan.
The mission organisation which I signed up for my first mission trip, is ICM which Pr. Kenneth is now the Board's Chairman.
I don't believe it's pure coincidence.
I thank God for being a part His plan.
This is just the beginning, there is a greater hope and a future.

God have a great plan for His Kingdom.
God has a plan for all of us. He wants us to be
He sent His Son Jesus to give us life, a life that's with hope and a future.

Pastor Sandra did not ask me to say this, but I highly encourage if you have not do so.

Sign up and show up at the First Priority
You might be acquainted with your future and destiny
Mission Conference is just not about how to be a missionary
Mission Conference is to hear about God's First priority
God's First priority you and me
So let's come and find out about His First Priority.

All glory to God, Glory to His Faithfulness.
