During
our sailing and even before we set sail from Kuching, we didn’t have a sure
place to berth in the next port we were heading to. However, we had to leave
the port in Kuching and we set off in a journey of faith to the unknown. During
the whole 2-day sailing everyone was praying that the port authorities would
agree to give us a suitable berth for the ship, otherwise it meant we had to go
on-anchor at a distance from the port, resulting in not being able to open for
visitors and we would be stuck on the ship! This is where we saw God at work,
few hours before reaching the port, a temporary berth had been given to us, but
this meant we had to go on-anchor after the temporary period was over. After
spending few days in that temporary berth, we were given another temporary one,
so we moved few meters and docked there. We stayed in that “temporary” berth
the whole time we were supposed to stay in that port and we never had to move
again or go on-anchor.
Our God is amazing!
We had the opportunity to share with a group of Filipino youth who are
refugees, and most Filipino refugees in Malaysia are Muslims. We went to a
Christian lady’s house who takes care of these youth. She had gathered them in
her house and we shared with them about the ship, we played some games with
them and one of our team members shared his salvation testimony. Many of them
showed real interest while hearing the testimony and some had a lot of
questions afterwards. They were so friendly and wanted to talk to us and get to
know us more in comparison to the little interest they showed when they first
saw us.
