Living Spring 活泉-Vol8-2016

Bro. Basri (L) & Bro. Ali (R)
At Bera with Rev. Lieow
disturbed by some spirits, but was cleared of idols
and cleansed by Rev. Lieow prior to our visit. We sang
two songs of praise together and each also gave a
presentation to the Lord. We presented the children
with Christmas gifts and had lunch provided by them
before saying goodbye to Kg. Chendon. We prayed
that the Christian community here will continue to
grow in the Lord.
At Semelai settlement in Kg. Chendon
tries, to slowly move passed the jam to pull to a stop at the
highway shoulder before Exit 803A. The strong burning smell
that was emitting from the engine compartment revealed to
us that the van was not roadworthy for our onward journey.
Praise the Lord that He had steered us clear of danger and
by His leading, Rev. David & Bro. Pete decided to stay with
the van for the tow truck to arrive, while the rest of the
22 members were reseated in the other 4 vehicles for the
onward journey at 10.50am.
The truck took 2 hours to come to the rescue and
subsequently took another hour to reach Pastor’s regular
workshop in SS15 for repairs. We thanked God for the
heavy traffic jam that might have caused the clutch plate
to burn out earlier. If the clutch plate were to burn out later
in the middle of our visitations to the remote Orang Asli
settlements, it would be a nightmarish situation for us to
have the van tow back to Subang Jaya or even to seek help.
A separate arrangement allowed Bro. Pete to drive another
vehicle together with Rev. David to Endau Rompin.
At 4.10pm, our 2nd visitation brought us to the
Jakun settlement at Kg. Cheras. There are currently
6 Christian families among the Jakun community.
Their leaders are Bro. Awang & Sis. Tina, both have
since healed of cancer. Bro. Rome, a Dusun from Sabah,
who married their daughter Sis. Samiah, was chairing the
fellowship in the church. The congregation presented to
the Lord ‘Pujilah Eloah’ and ‘Masih Banyak Orang Berjalan’,
followed by their presentation of ‘Hidup Menurut Teladan
Kristus’. After Rev. Lieow’s short introduction of our team
and words of encouragement to the congregation, it was
our team’s turn to share. Bro. Siew Loon shared about his
daily life, how Jesus brought peace to his life, and how the
Lord led him to learn to read the Malay Bible. Bro. Tan gave
a short report of the journey thus far. Sis. Schani shared
about her interest in singing that led her to praise and
worship ministry in the church, and how her faith helped
restore her voice after losing it for seven months. She ended
her testimony with a song ‘Ku mau cinta Yesus selamanya’.

Meanwhile, our convoy of 4 vehicles drove through Temerloh
and arrived at Bandar Bera at 1.00pm to meet up with Rev.
Lieow for our first visitation to the Semelai settlement in Kg.
Chendon. The next 25 minutes journey brought the team to
the house of Bro. Ali, a Temuan from Dengkil and Semelai
wife Sis. Aida. They have 2 children. Sis. Aida’s cousin, Bro.
Basri & wife Sis. Ella with 3 children is the other Christian
family, together with their cousin’s family from a nearby
Kg. Bokok were there during our visit. The house was once
