Living Spring 活泉-Vol8-2016

We were glad to meet up with Pak Elen, a Temuan and the
leader of Jekoa Kg. Jeram Kedah in Kuala Selangor, whom we
have met during our GMSJ MT 2013. He brought 3 of their
girls to Kg. Cheras for a lift to Tanah Abang, for the Vocational
Bible Study camp. These 3 girls who are Chinese educated
were, Edora (Form 3) who is the granddaughter of Pak Elen,
Airene (Form 1) & Justina (Standard 6). Pak Elen shared how
he would wake up at 3.00am in the morning to read the Bible,
headed off for work, then return to sleep at 9.00am. He said to
have witnessed God’s power numerous times and encouraged
us to be strong in faith. Through the fellowship with these
3 girls, though they are young, their faith in Christ is strong.
Young Edora could confidently place her faith in Christ for the
protection over the grandfather’s return journey to Jekoa Kg.
Jeram Kedah. Their passion to serve the Lord is very telling,
as shown by their readiness to Sis. Schani’s invitation to join
her in presenting the Chinese version of ‘Ku mau cinta Yesus
selamanya— 我 要 永 永 远 远 爱 着 耶 稣 ’ later on Sunday service
in Tanah Abang. We prayed that they will continue to grow
spiritually in their walk with Christ and be a positive influence
to the Orang Asli communities in Malaysia in the years to come,
for the glory of God.
As usual, Ibu Mertji would gather all the Jakun children, to
share God’s words with them through games. Meanwhile,
sourcing sufficient water supply from available wells which are
drying up is a huge challenge for the community. Rev. Lieow
could only help built a water storage tank to harvest rain water
for the church. Some of our members paid a visit and offered
condolence to Cik Mena, the mother of a 30-year-old Muslim
man who had recently passed away due to a motor vehicle
accident. We prayed for this Jakun Christian community to
persevere in their faith despite of the many challenges and
continue to grow in the Lord to expand His kingdom, and that the
state government will eventually hear the plight of Kg. Cheras
to build and provide clean water supply to this community.
The convoy left Kg. Cheras at 5.50pm, drove through the
country trunk roads, passed through Muadzam Shah, en route
finally to Endau Town safely by 8.15pm.
Meanwhile, Bro. Pete & Rev. David had taken a separate
route, through Seremban Highway, exited at Senawang, passed
through Kuala Pilah & Muadzam Shah to reach safely at Bro.
Koo’s Cosway shop in Endau Town earlier at 8.00pm. Bro.
Koo, whom we have met during our last visit 4 years ago, is
the Hubong Church leader/preacher who helps Rev. Lieow in
serving the Orang Asli ministry in Endau Rompin. Pr. Zalina who
is serving the Jakun community in Tanah Abang/Endau Rompin
and Bro. En’man from Tanah Abang were at the shop. They
came from Tanah Abang to pick up the three girls, Edora, Airene
& Justina who came in with Rev. Lieow from Kg. Cheras for their
VBS camp in Tanah Abang.

We had our late dinner at a Chinese restaurant before arriving
at Hubong Church in Endau for the night at 10.00pm. The
youths had their last practice session before calling it a night.
We gave thanks to God for the safe journey despite of the van
incident which nearly interrupted our whole programme.
