1. God is with me. I am not alone. We're in this fight together
2. Start the day off focusing on Jesus, asking Him to lead the day, and by being thankful
3. The greatest leaders are the best followers of the Holy Spirit
4. I will see the fruits of my labour
5. Rest in Him, release my burdens about Him and take His yoke, which is light and easy
6. Do not strive
7. Love God, Love people. Do this, and I shall LIVE.
More to come once I remember them! Thank You Jesus for these words. Thank You Lord for sending Your awesome people to share them with me at the right moments. I am so grateful to You. Thank You for caring, and for not letting me go. I love You Jesus

Mini Update
And so I finally a short breather and time to update you guys and home :)
It's week 5 at the Discipleship Training School here at YWAM Sabah, we have a total of 14 students and 6 staff. I'm not the only guy staff this time round, thank God :) We have a student from Hong Kong and another from Penang and the rest are local Sabahans. We've gone through topics about Father heart of God, Identity in Christ, Inductive Bible Study, Worship, and Character and nature of God. We're at the beautiful city of Kota Kinabalu near to the sea.
God has been good. We recently had an opportunity to minister at a National Service Camp. Praise the Lord for the 30+ who gave their lives to Christ and for the students who stepped out during ministry! We've also had opportunities to minister at Rumah Sayang (a school for immigrant children) and very recently had a practical on treasure hunt (hearing God for clues and finding His treasure (people) and talking/praying for them).
The most recent development about myself would be that i'm going to be leading a team to Pontianak and Sibu for the month of May and June, along with a phase of outreach in the villages in Sabah too. This is probably the craziest thing I have ever done in my life so far. I've never been to Pontianak and Sibu. In fact I had not even heard of such a place (pontianak) before in my life haha. It's an actual capital city of west Kalimantan by the way :) I would be leading a team of 6 students, a co-leader and myself, which makes 8 of us. Most likely it'll be, 2 weeks in Pontianak, 3 weeks in Sibu and 3 weeks at Sabah villages. Plannings for it is underway, not easy at all as this is my first time leading an outreach team proper and for long term, but I'm confident that if God's in it, things would be ok :) I do appreciate all the support and encouragement and prayers :)
This shall be it for this time round. I will be back for good in mid July. Time is flying very fast and will continue to do so. I do apologize for not updating often. It's rare sometimes to catch a breather as there's always something happening. Sometimes I do miss home a lot, especially when significant events happens and i'm not around :( Weekends are the best times to catch me though :) A team from PenHop's (Penang House of Prayer) is coming for the next few days so i'm super excited for that :)
How is everyone doing? It's encouraging to hear from home too :) Take care you guys, God Bless. Keep running and seeking after Him!
